= aIrppoSE it's on account of the war
u and the fact that war work must get
under way with even more vigor ana get
sup-and- go than heretofore, but people are
certainly coming back to town earlier than
usual I hear the Tom Robins, VINO nave
been I'D in Bar Harbor, are coming down
this week. Mrs Robins has been IN the
Emergency Aid work ever since it started
n / am not mistaken, and has been splen'
aid in every way. Her daughter Margaret
A "oyer there" you know, working IN
France. / heard the other day that ABOUT
4 week before they went to Bar Harpor
thew had a cable saying that Margaret
was safe. She must have been near the
firing line or at some town where there
lahad been disaster and the news was to
reassure her parents who had not known
she was in special danger.
The youngest child, boy. is dear and
simply crazy about his mother. And that
is a fine trait in a child Mrs. Robins is
stunning looking woman, is she not? Her
clothes are always just the right thing
and she wears them SO smartly. think
she is one of the smartest looking women
in this city.
nID you know that Marion Newhall
~ Horwitz O'Brien is up here from Moore
Haven visiting the family? Shes been
STAYING with Eleanor. who lives out at
strafford And stayed down with Lily
Newhall Howard, cousin, in Atlantic
city over the weekend. Lily has been
having quite family party for May
Schwartz Newhall. Georges wife has
come on from the West to visit and has
x,-.fI III u
And Beck, Lily's sister, is also there Did
you ever know a more popular girl than
that same Rebecca Newhall? She is with
out exception one Of the finest all-round
girls, everybody says. And every one
always wants to have her visit them. Full
Of fun and bright and such happy dis
position.
Marion is not going to be up very long
| As she is needed at De Soto Farms, where
her ability, as a business woman becomes
more apparent every day.
r HEAR that Nancy Smythe Miles has
1 a little daughter. She was born on
August 90 and is to be named Nancy
Thomas Miles. I think the name is sweet
for her father, you know, Lieutenant
Thomas Miles, was killed in June fighting
in France, and it is lovely thought that
though the baby is girl, it can have both
parents names, Nancy and Thomas.
Nancy has been wonderfully brave abou,
II all. You know she heard the news OF
Tommy's death from a friend of his ant
st was not confirmed in the official lists
for at least a month later. 1t must have
been terrible thing for her. And l sc
hope this dear small daughter will be a
comfort to the bereaved little mother.
ANOTHER Philadelphia girl is going L
"A France very soon for work with tn,
Red Cross. Florence Walsh, daughter O.
the late Philip j. Walsh and Mrs. Walsh
Of Burmont, left today for New York ant

IT'S awful what this travelling bushes
= does to one these days, isn't it? I gues
1t is to discourage any one from goin
away unless it's absolutely necessary; bu
believe me, getting your trunk there an
getting it back is the worst I heard tn
"cutest" story yesterday-oh, very cute
You see, She had had to wait four day
for her trunk when she arrived at he
New England destination, and so whe
she decided to go home she packed he
trunk and sent it ahead n whole day. Sh
put her night garments and a fresh wais
In her bag to take that night on the trai
and started out in the morning on a lon
q hike with a most attentive companion.
Well, 1t was a clear day-oh, very clear
when they started, but at noon they ha
