With her while she went West
t{'r. and Mrs Brown gave a luncheon yes
ia N for the two girls and dinner at the
. fy Club on Saturday night. 1t was
nwfiitly gay there. by tho way Two hun
dred and fifty were there for dinner and the
Heck Wctherills gave party of forty Gov
crs. Certainly Edwina is good locker.
She wore Il lovely gown of dark blue ana
gold brocaded satin. aud you know the effect
of that dark gown with Edwina's golden
hair and her gorgeous fair complexion.
She holds herself so well and has such
good figure she certainly stood out among

was some crowd there. believe me. About
$50 additional guests came in after dinner to
dance

the winter at Palm Beach. was at the Coun-
try Club and looked very smart in cream
coored lace frock over yellow satin. Her
sister. Mrs Clayton Dixon. who was Estelle

no YOU remember about two years ago.
~ before our entry into the war. my tell
ing you about the Gulph Mills Coli Ciub,
which was being started by number OF men
out on the Main Line? Well, when We went
Into the war they had TO stop their plans for
Gls club, but now, if you please. all is in
readiness and there is to he one fine big
opening on Friday afternoon of this week
from 4 until 6 o'clock.
Alba johnson is president Of the club
and the membership is limited to 100 mem
hers. There are forty four members now.
I must tell You joke in connection with the
tea on Friday afternoon. Tho secretary.
or whoever sent out tho invites. arguing IN
~ mind that man and wife arc one. sent
fSc invites to the man and took it FOR granted
that the women in the families would know
the invitations were meant for them. But
YOU sec they did not. and the idea has gotten
about that it is to be open house for the
mon only.
Well it isn't: it's for the women too and
tho mon hope very much that the women
will 20. It's n wonderful course. You
know where the club is don't YOU: Right
near the old Gulph Mills back of Bryn
NIawr and on the way to Norristown. 1t
is the old Walnut Grove farm, which is on
portion Of the 1000 acre farm owned origi-
nally by William Penn and beQucathcd by
him TO his stopdaughtcr. 1."titia Aubrey,
She in turn bequcathcd it TO John Hughes.
and it was from the lattcr's descendants that
the members of the Guph Mills Golf Club
bought their present property.
The course has been laid out by Donald
Ross. of England. who is conceded to be
ono of the best builders of golf courses IN
the world. And they tell me that his opinion
was asked recently about various courses
and holes in this country for he has trav-
c,cd to various links far and widc). and he
said that hc considered the eighteenth hole
Mt Gu!ph Mills Club the greatest in Amer
lea.
The reason for keeping the membership
down is that most of the clubs arc so crowded
n man has to call up the day before to
gage II caddy and time to go tho rounds
The aim of the members of this club. which
has been nicknamcd The Millionaircs'
Club is TO be able to go out any time they
want to. without having to telephone. and
to be able to get caddy at n moment s
notice.
