with the younger set Of girls, but really
4fhe e. A. AS nearly killed her with con.
fratulations. At first she was not able
y dismount, they surrounded her so thor,
lughly; and then when she did alight they
kugged and kissed her to pieces. She. was
twfully game about it, too. Did not get
bit fused or bored. That makes with

kfIITH the announcement of the engage.

lall in love with Curtiss dimples.
Hasn't he the most fascinating ones you
Eyver saw? And here some girl out West
$anitches' him up before our very eyes.
What's the matter with the Philadelphia
urls to let such things happen?
Il However, you can't blame Curtis, for
what do you think, my friend the small
bird knows said Mary Stuart Smith, of
Portland, Ore, for the simple reason that
that bird flies all over the place; and it
Gays that Mary Stuart Smith is a perfect

Of the good old u. S. A.
WALKING Of weddings I heard a pretty
= bit recently. 1t was a matter Of gossip,
20 I can't vouch for the truth thereof, but
I him 1t is true. I heard that a little
bride, daughter of a marine officer and who
u TO be married thu week, was very wor.
risd for fear her father would be sent
overseas before her wedding. So what did
she do but write herself to President VIII.
son and ask him to please have her father
kept on this side until after her wedding
anyhow. And bless your heart, she had a
letter from the President saying not to
worry, that he would be kept here until
after the GREAT EVENT.
It's always nice to hear of the human
side of great men, isn't 1t?
r HEAR the Joe Wi6eners are going up
y to Newport soon, that is. in a very few
days, and the Van Rensselaers, you know,
have taken a cottage there this year. New
port makes me think of the give-away of
: certain young man you know and I
know who was visiting in Newport last
year. He was staying at Hill Top Inn and
his 'bestest' was visiting som Philadel-
phians who had a house on the Cliffs.
Well, one afternoon he had called on the
tbestest" and they had gone walking of
together, he to take the Cliff walk for the
fret time.
They returned in time for tea, a little
after 5, and the young man electrified the
marty and mortified the "bestest" (remem-
her, there was no known engagement eX.
listing between them) by remarking with
N extremely dreamy look in his soft. clear
eyes when asked what part of the walk he
liked best, "The tunnel under the Japanese
Pagoda."
II was an awful moment, don't you
think? NANCY WYNNE.
