= was to hear how successIul was the
bazaar that the people Of Cape May gave
for the benefit Of the Church OF the Ad'
vent. I told you all about 1t at the time
you remember. The committee in charge
met on Monday at the home of Mrs. Hor.
ace Eugene Smith, in Cape May, and re-
ports were read. Seven hundred and twen'
ty-seven dollars were made and the COM
mittee is justly proud Of It, The fund Is
to support the services OF the church
during the winter. as 1t is carried on en-
tirely through the efforts of the summer
people who go there and love it-most OF
whom are Philadelphians. Mrs. Smith was
chairman of the committee. Others from
this city helping her were Mrs. George
X. Crozier Mrs. L. Bert Eyster. Mrs. Ar.
thington Gilpin, Mrs. Henry b. Patton
Mrs Edward B. Sayen, Mrs X. Ramsay
Hill, Mrs. E. X. Sparks, Mrs. William ID.
Grange, Mrs T. Mitchell Hastings, Mrs.
Norman Grey and Mrs. w. Howard Pan
coast. Mrs. James Nields, Of Wilmington,
was also interested in the affair. 1t will be
. great pleasure to these people while they
nre here during the winter to know that
the little white church with the old-fash'
ioned windows and green shutters Is
having services just as it had all summer.
when they were there.
THERE'S quite a good deal going on
L for midsummer In the way Of en-.
gagements and marriages. Anne Meirs,
you know, is going to be married ON Mon
day to Captain Newbold, and Katherine
Potter and Walter Avery are to be mar
ried IN Saturday at Cape May. Huberta
Earle win be matron Of honor for her SIS
ter aAd the small reception afterward will
be at her cottage. Mary Montgomery's en-.
zagement to Edward Biddle Halsey has
been announced, and I wonder how long 1t
will be before she sets the date? 1t GER
tainly keeps one busy remembering just
who each has become and whether she has
become it yet" or whether she is just en-
gaged-or whether she isn't either, and
you just suspect it.
