Nancy lynne Tells of the Opening of Bryn Mam Horse
Sho,U Today-Miss FLORENCE Kane to BE Intro
duced at q Tea-Other Matters

IF THE weatherman only proves to
i be considerate the Horse Show, which
opens this morning at the Bryn Mawr
Polo Club should be one of the pret-
test of spectacles. There are re-
markable number of entries and great
many persons will entertain at luncheon
at the show and at dinner in the eve
ming afterward.
Eleo Sears is here, Of course, and
will stay with the Plunkett Stewarts
during the week. Think Of it! She
alone has twenty nine entries IN the
show. The John Lawrences, of Tops
field, Mass. are here, staying with the
Charles A. Munns, and the Frank a.
Bonsals will be the guests of the John
Valentines. The II. Penn Smith Jr. s
and the Robert Gerrys will be here for
the show. and, of course, Ambrose
Clark and Reggie Vanderbilt and the
usual horse show devotees.
TT SEEMS to be quite the thing now
i to be Engaged when you come out.
There are any number of this year s
buds who are engaged and many OF
them have already had the engagements
announced.
There's Rosalie Johnson, for instance,
who is to be introduced this year and
whose brother and sister in law gave
a dinner dance for her night before last
at the Whitemarsh Valley Hunt Club.
Rosaie is engaged to Lieutenant
Charles Crocker, Jr,, of Fitchburg,
Mass.
Adelaide Newlin's engagement to Liv
Biddle was announced on Sunday OF
this week. too, and beside these two
announced ones there are no less than
four that will be announced through
the winter And, of course, therell be
more by the spring too. That's going
some, isn't 1t?
TT WAS quite rest yesterday not to
l. have a tea to go to, but bless your
heart we'll be at 1t again this after
noon. This time the roads lead to
Radnor, where the John Kent Kanes
will introduce their attractive daughter
Florence, at tea. Don't you think
that Florence is remarkably like her
cousin, Mabel Norris Dixon? They
have much the same coloring, though
Florence is bit smaller. Mrs. Kane
was Miss Margaret Paul, daughter OF
the late Mr. Frank Paul, who was
brother of Mr.. James Paul; so the
Munns, Mills, Pauls and other family
connections are many
Florence is remarkably fair and has
rather dark eyes. She looks more like
the Kanes than the Pauls.
r AM so glad to hear that Jack ant
i Elizabeth Drexel have little son
He was born on Monday morning IL
New York. You remember, Elizabeth
Drexel was Elizabeth Thompson, o
this city, and made her debut here thu
same year with Ruth Coke, Pauline
Disston, Cordelia Biddle, Margot Scull
all of them married now. She was th'
daughter of the late Mr.. James BeatoI
THOMPSON, of 2212 Walnut street.
Several years after her fathers dealt
her mother married Mr.. De Forres
Cant, of New Yok, and it was iron
their New York home that Elizabetl
was married in April of 1918. She an
her husband spent most of the winter i
this city last year, but this year, l un
derstand have decided to live in NeN
York and will be at the Hotel La Sail
for the winter.
T HAVE noticed at the teas that an
l. number of the debbies have had thei
hair bobbed and permanently waved
Can you imagine anything more delight
full Just to run a comb through you
hair and that's the end of it. No tedi
Gus hours at the hair dressers befor
the balls, no fears that your hair vii
get out of order and that some clums
man dancing by will tear your hair ne
on his dress coat sleeve buttons. The
always do that if you happen not to b
very tall whether they are clumsy o
not.
Yes, it's awfully convenient, and
looks awfully cute on some, but it woul
not do for every one, and think of tn
time when it becomes the thing to lie
It grow again and to wear great pile
of hair on top of the head. Good night
NANCY WYNNE.
