COMEHOW this Fourth Is not going
~ to be quite like any other Fourth.
It's always a solemn day for our great
country, but this year it will be extra
solemn, for since the last Fourth we
have with our allies won liberty for
other people as well as for ourselves.
We fought once more on the side of
Justice and truth and we conquered 1t
remains for us to live up to our high
ideals. 'For God, for country and for
our fellow men That's good motto,
don't you think?
NTELL. the great day has almost
w jcame." and it's going to be a
great day in more ways than one. |
never heard so many parties as there are
planned for older and younger sets, on
the Main Line, mp north, at the sea
shore and everywhere. To begin with,
there are dinner dances at Mannheim,
Philadelphia Cricket Club, Huntingdon
Valley and most of the other clubs. And
then there are any number of private
affairs. The Henry Brinton Coxes. as
you know. will give their annual dance
at penllyn: the Isaac Clothicrs> are
going TO have a small tennis tourna
lnent in the afternoon: Mr.. and Mrs
Edgar w. Baird will give dinner be-
fore the Coke dance. and so will Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Leidy.
Deborah Logan. who -wi}f-"make her
debut next year, is having house party
at Sarabia. Eddngton. over the week
end and Katherine King, another deb,
is also entertaining at a house party at
Gwynedd. where she and her parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin King. are spending
the summer. Christine Baker, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Franklin Baker,
OF Germantown. will have Betty Borton,
Jules Wellens and Harold McCalla rs
her guests in Beach Haven over the
Fourth Christine isn't quite at the
debutante age as yet. but she is getting
there.
Then Mr. and Mrs. Oliver G. Willis
are going to entertain at dinner at their
home in Riverton Mrs Alfred r. Nor =
ris win have a house party ut Nara =
gansett Pier-and, indeed there are so
many that | can't keep them neatly ar
ranged in my mind. Quite an array
for such a few days, isn't 1t?
TT STRIKES me that Narragansett
l. Pier is to be very gay this year again.
II certainly is beautiful spot, accord
ing to my thinking. The Dick Norrises
are going up this month. and Mary. who
is to be a dcbutante next year, will be
with her parents most of the summer.
The Frank Samuels are up there, and
Elizabeth Adams is visiting them; you
q Co al n hA
married in October, The Samuels are
to give a dinner in Elizabeth's honor
tomorrow.
The Randolphs and Dorothy Fell and
Emily Stephenson will be at Nara =
gansett most Of the summer, and the
John Norrises, too. Mr.. George HUM
has a cottage there for tws months,
and Ethel aud her husband, Joe Bailey
win spend most of the summer with
him.
nOWN at Cape May there will be
~ great doings tomorrow. too. Nearly
every one who has a cottage down there
has guests over the Fourth and week
end; for, of course, very few men viii
have togo up to town on Saturday. II
will be one grand and glorious week
and lasting from Thursday till Monday
Agnes Brockie Mason and her husband
are going down to Cape May for the
Fourth. They are to be with Catherine
Cassard. Doesn't it seem funny to think
of Agnes as married! She looks so very
Young. but so does Jack Mason for that
matter.
CHE is only two years old, but she
~ seems to have decided knowledge
of right and wrong and of who is re
Asponsible if little girl or boy does moi
NxNehave as she or he should. At least 81
ID seemed to me as | passed the square
the other day. | sat down to Eest in the
cool breezes and there were three ol
four little ones playing about. One
little girl l knew. and / saw her mother
sitting on bench a little further ur
the path. Well. said small girl, who is
about four. began to be very naughty
She teased the other children anC
Slapped several of them, but her mother
did not notice nor attempt to correct
her. Finally she approached small
lady and in moment there was re
sounding slap.

she simply looked very severely at the
transgressor and remarked, slowly
shaking her wee finger, Naughty baby
naughty baby Then she turned anC
{ walked deliberately to the child's
mother and said to her in urgent tones
Naughty baby. naughty baby % How
old is that little one?' | asked the nurse
Two years, ma am said she.
