Nancy lynne Tells of Party the Llacs for Miss Tobn of
augusta Cd.-She Comments a Number OF
Happenings in the Social HorId

TIME Ben Rush's had n lovely party out
l. at the Lilacs last night. It was given
for Laura Tobin who, you know, is up here
staying with them She's an Augusta girl
and when Ben, Jr., was down there at
Hancock he fell in love with her and the
engagement was announced Just as he
was going over, several months ago.
It's hard to realize what really different
times we are all living in nowadays. Think
two or three years ago of having party
for newly engaged pair and the bride.
groom o-be unable to be there! That's
the way now and the only thing tho girls
can do is to grin and bear it, Laura is
extremely pretty and has made a most
delightful impression up here. she has
been staying with the Rush's for several
weeks and Maise and Charlotte have been
taking her round with them and introduce
ing all their friends to her
At the party last night the other girls
were Peggy Thayer, Patty Baker and Jane
Maule, and the boys were Brce Blynn,
Stanley Woodward. George Howard, of
Augusta; Bill Baird, Billie Adameor and
Livingston Biddle. I'd. The boys of seven
teen, eighteen, nineteen and twenty, are
having the time of their young lives these
days, for they are not yet in the service,
and there is much demand for younger
men for any parties going. It's good
they're having fun while they may. but
most of them are "ChampnE at the bit" to
get into some kind of service.
nON'T you think it's great the way the
~ S.'ancers have turned in and arc all
doing work for their country?
You know Fiji is over in France work
ing at a canteen for the Red Cross and
Ju Ju is studying telephone operating with
the view of going over to help when
needed In fact she is in a unit at York,
Pa, now, getting ready to go over when
called. Well now l hear Mrs. Spencer,
the mother. is to be in charge of a hostess
house at one of the cantonmcnts here and
will take up her work the latter part of
next month.
l think Fifi is quite one of the prettiest
girls I know. She has such perfec: color
ing. Margaret, Charlie Pottor's Wife, has
the same fair if not fairer hair as Fiji or
Agnes, which is her right name,
Ju Ju or Anne and Christine are two
others who look alike; they are both
darker. Christine married Bob Hunter
you know, last year shortly after war was
declared. Bob is lieutenant in the L. S
A. There's an older sister, Ethel, you
know, who was the first Mrs. Lawrence
Boyand, and I'm sure she is engaged in
war work, too. You see all five of them
were educated in France and Italy, and
they speak French eXquisitcly well. So
they are splendidly adapted to do good
work over there as well as here.
THINGS seem to have started in the way

we keep thinking of them as New York
ers, but Pauline really spends a lot of
time in Philadelphia since she married
young John Wanamaker, even when John
