benet of the Musical Games and Records
Committee of the National League for
Women's Service, of which Mrs. Pere Will
mer is president
MRS. HOWARD HENRY is certainly
A'A having one fine house party this week,
what II It Is hen party, as It were,
that's only because the husbands are
abroad or engaged in warwork. Every
morning they start out on a hunt and the
meets are held at different places through
out the West Chester country. On Mon.
day they met on the Charles Mather's
farm, and yesterday the meet was at
Unionville. The country is so wonderful
In this weather. Can you imagine any
thing more gorgeous than a ride across
country over fences and up hills in an
easy.fitting habit and with hair NOTED in
tightly under hat that's bound to stay
on? Can't you just feel the air and smell
the hay and the "autumny" trees?
Among Mrs. Henry's guests are Mrs.
Jack Valentine, Mrs. John Converse Mrs.
Antelo DevereuX. who is Mrs. Henry's
sister, and Mrs. r. Penn Smith, Jr. The
Mather girls sometimes join in and others
who live within riding distance Of the
Hunting. It's wonderful fun.
HAVE you heard that the Trenchy New
- bolds have little son? Born yester-
day. They have been living in Haverford
this summer, though after their marriage,
they were domiciled in the old Morris house
on Eighth street. Mrs. Newbold was
Rhoda Morris. you know, the elder daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. bingham B. Morris.
She married George Clymer Brooke about
twelve or thirteen years ago, and some
three or four years ago he died after a long
and painful Illness She and Mr.. Newbold
have been married about two years.
IND you know that the. boys Of the
3 ~ School SCI are getting up a subscrip-
.tion dance for THANKSGIVING Eve? It's to
be out at the Philadelphia Cricket Club and
the Lot o. Pep or.CHEST-ra is going to

d time. And the best Of il is It's all for
the Bethesda Home but in Chestnut Hill,
which Is one of the pet charities of Chest

The committee of boys includes Daniel
Dent, Crenshaw McElroy, Francis Reeves,
Sd, Donald Ross, Albert Whiting, Jr., Rolfe
Fairies, Bob Pemberton George Reming
ton. Louis Smith and Stewart Wurts, Jr.
All the girls in the school set as we'll
as the boys-and therell be lots of boys
home for the Thanksgiving holidays too
expect TO go and it looks to me like a
mighty good time.
The Lot o. Pep orchestra is simply
great! But / wonder If the boys don't
sometimes want to stop playing and get
up and dance. 1t must be hard to play all
through the evening so often. It's certainly
one fine idea. They are all Chestnut Hill
Academy boys / have been told and got
up the orchestra themselves.
Will you ever forget Henry Reeves? He.
y turned himself into young orchestra, do
you remember, and used to go to his
friends houses for small informal parties,
taking his talking machine along, and
a drum, bells, cymbas and goodness only
knows what else and he'd keep it up all
evening 1t icds some idea wasn't 1t?
fT1ALKING of Homes and other benefi-
4 Charles, reminds me of the story heard
in connection with one, but I'm not sure
It was the Bethesda. However We'll let it
go at that, FOR it's a good one and it's
true. The mother. of one of the children
went there to stay few days and as is the
way with homes, they undertook to give
her bath. She objected but finally gave
in and took a large one. AS she was rest
ing afterwards, she remarked to the nurse,
'Tf I'd known 1t was so nice, I'd have done
It before" NANCY WYNNE.
