Tomorroic-WiH They announce 1t?

II NEVER have seen anyone so happy as
L Elizabeth Griflths Page. Neddy has
come back you know. Elizabeth went on
to New York with Eleanor Cuyler Walker
last week to meet Joe Walker, who was
coming home, and whom did she see walk
ing down the plank but her own husband.
Elizabeth and Neddy were married be-
fore the troops went down to the border,
do you remember? Gracious that was
three years ago, wasn't It? Then Neddy
went to Fort Niagara and was made
captain. He was stationed there for some
time and Elizabeth and Elizabeth Jr, who
at that time was about two months old,
took house near the camp to be with him
awhile he was there. Later he was sent
10 Aver, Mass. and finally sailed for
! France.
This coincidence of meeting seems to
be a Page trait. Do you remember when
Neddy went over, the first person he came
across in France was his brother Major
Roddy Page, whom he lad not seen for
several months before sailing. Roddy
married Katherine Kremer you remember,
and Polly Page, who is a sister OF Roddy
and Neddy. married Marechal Brown.
Polly is very pretty. don't you think?
THE opera tonight will be we'll attended
L methinks. OF course the usual num-
ber of box parties will be given. And l
am so glad to hear that Mrs. George Fales
Baker will go tonight. She was so i'll at
the beginning Of the season she could not
60 on tho opening night and since then
has been very careful about going out at
night. She is so we'll again however that
she will go tonight and I predict that
many will visit her box to congratulate her
on her first appearance at the opera this
year
OF course Mrs. Baker has been going out
i'm the day time and on one or two oc-
caslons at night. For instance the night
Mrs. Stotesbury gave the reception at the
Bellevue for the workers Of the Navy
Auxiliary, Mrs Baker received with her,
as she felt that her workers at Auxiliary
No. 276 should be welcomed by her per.
sonally. She has done splendid work in
the Red Cros. and various other good
works in which she Is interested I have
seldom heard Of a more geno-H''s woman.
DID YOU know that Rachel Baker Fran
ces Clark, Betty Elliot and Agnes
c. A. work abroad? They leave New York
today for Portla, :. Me. and will sail from
there tomorrow going first to Scotland.
after that l do not know where they are
bound and I don't think they know them
selves, though they may have been told
to keep it under their hats" so to speak,
Rachel Baker is one of the Ave Bakers
daughters of the late Louis c. Baker and
Mrs. Baker, OF Bala. Linda Baker. you
know n,.rried Charlie Ames out In the
West and Sophie is engaged to an army
man. Rachels going abroad will leave
only Sophie, Patty and Juliana at home
Rachel figures muchly In the Junior
League and is a most enthusiastic little
worker.
Frances Clark is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Davis Clark, of 22l5
Spruce street. Both she ard her sister
have insisted on doing something besides
go TO parties for some time. Bertha went
In for nursing, but had to give up taking
the entire course several years ago on ac-
count Of her health. Since then she has
h.e, nursing a numb Of "fu" patients
have been told and has done fine work.
Frances took a position in large store
here ana was at lne lcne VI - N~p~'N
She is perfectly stunning looking, tall and
with the most beautiful blond hair.
Bettv Elliot is the daughter OF the late
lanes Hugh Elliott and Mrs. Elliot, or this
city. She has been doing quite DIT OF
Red Cross work and has taken the surgical
dressings course. Betty has done quite a
hit of writing for papers and periodicals
too and she can cook like streak, so shelI
he a treasure for canteen work. for the
boys are always wanting eggs fried on po'h
sides or some such luxury. Betty was one
of the first girls to go to the Chevy Chase
camn in Washington about four years ago.
A,res Irwin is Bryn Mawr girl and
very clever and popular. SO you see us
,,,ta some little bunch. Il saw Rachel In
hsr uniform on Sunday on her way over
tn New York, and met Betty RACING ioi
the two o'clock train yesterday. inc piue
hat made Bettys eyes look like the SKIES
and the uniform of gray green with the
dark green cloak and vestee was certainty
becoming to both of them.
AS THEY are coming home these boys
n of ours, faster and faster, am Won
dering and wondering IL we will hear the
news 7 predicted some time ago. You re-
member it's a New York girl and Phila-
delphia man. And it's certainly one nice
match. Both very good looking and very
oh, very smart as to family. And posses
sions aren't bad either Very good, oh

fair-and he has dark hair and very hne
brown eyes-Now l ask you
