HERE'S more about the horse snow.
AA Or, to be more exact, more about the
Second Bryn Mawr War Horse Show for the
benent Of the British-American war relief
fund and the Bryn Mawr Hospital to be
held on September 10, 20 and 21. Perhaps
you wonder just how the proceeds are to
be divided. Well, I'll tell you. The sale
Of boxes and entries will be for the war
relief fund, and the sale of tickets only for
the hospital. Several prizes already have
been donated to Mrs. Robert E. Straw
bridge, executive chairman Of the. show
One Of these Is q handsome piece of plate,
presented by Colonel Herbert and Gen
eral Coming on behalf of the British
Remount, to be awarded in whatever
military class Mrs. Strawbridge and the
committee decide to place them. A $50
Liberty Bond has been offered by Mr..
Herbert Stoddard. who represents the
Radnor Troop OF the Bryn Mawr Reserve,
to be given for the horse best suited for
cavalry work, and another $50 bond Is Of
fered for the best artillery horse.
Mrs. Edward Browning and Mrs. Charles
E. Coke, who have charge Of the sale OF
boxes, have been working hard and al
ready have disposed Of about two-thirds
of them. They are going fast and furious
and when you stop to think OF it, the
show is only a month off, and what's
month these days? The various commit
tees have been hard at 1t in spite of the
heat Of the last two weeks, and on that
Wednesday, you remember that Wednes
day when the temperature not only
reached, LOG. but also stayed there den-
antly all day, some Of them were al.
dressing envelopes to send out the tickets.
You can imagine what work that was on
such a day. Mrs. Strawbridge is chairman.
of course, and Mrs David Sharp and Dor
othy Mather are her assistants. Among
others on the committee are Mrs. Robert
L, MONTGOMERY, Mrs Charles Custis Har"
rison, Jr, Mrs. Edward X. Rowland, Mrs.
John r. Valentine. Mrs. Altemus, Eueenia
Cassatt. Jean Austin Mrs. Howard Henry,
Mrs. Samuel D. Riddle, Mariana Gowen
Mrs. Walter Jeffords, Mrs Stanley Reeve
and Miss Anne Thomson.
Mrs, Archibald Barklie has charge Of
the committee on refreshments, which
seems to be her specially, and she cer-
tainly does IL we'll. Mrs. Charlie Mum
heads the prize committee. and the
gymkhana and "other sports"-I suppose
direction Of Mrs. John e. Converse, Mrs.
Billy Clothier, Mrs. Harry w. Harrison and
Mrs Paul Denckla Mills. At least Mrs.
Millss name Is on the list OF the COM
mittee but she may not go on with the
work, as the news has come of the death
of her brother.in.law, Captain Philip Mills,
who was killed in action on July 25. Per-
haps she will go on, though, for in these
days It seems to be the thing to hide
YOUR grief behind your pride, and not even
wear mourning. 1t seems a sporting
thing to do even If it does hurt,
don't you think so? And I am sure the
men "over there" would like 1t better
: go Mrs. Victor Mather and Mrs. A. j. An
telo Devereux are the committee on toys
for the children, and Isabella Wanamakei
has charge of the pony SUBSCRIPTIONS
Brownie warburton has the delightful
duty Of taking charge Of the candy, and
Constance Vauclain will provide the cigar
cites and tobacco. Mrs. Thomas G. Ashtor
will direct the march and pageant anf
Ellen Mary Cassatt has charge OF the ad
yertisements. So, you see. the plans are
be,ng pushed and followed up, and the
finished production will be some show.
4 @ID you know that Mrs. Alexander j
- Cassatt had quite bad fall some tim
ago? She is spending the summer in New
mort. YOU know She Is recovering, but sh
really had quite a serious accident. For
tunately. she fell in her own room, so ina
she could have attention right away.
