T HEAR that Newport is still hoping
= to have the Prince there. In fact,
the Historical Society and the Newport
Improvement Association have sent him
a special invitation to go there. But
the sad thing is they have not heard
yet from II. r. II.
was thinking about that today. and
II occurred to me that perhaps Edward
Albert did not feel like being improved.
You see, an Improvement association
smacks of uplift and lot of us arc get
ting pretty sore on this uplift business.
you know so after all. maybe Edward
Albert took squint at that invitation
and saw Improvement and decided
that he did not intend to improve New
port nor let Newport improve him.
Anyhow. the invitation still remains
unanswered and every one up there is
hoping that he will go. Personally I
wish he would. Newport has stood for
the leading watering place in the United
States social life for so many years
that it does seem as if visiting royalty
should be entertained there if it is pos
sible. And Edward Albert is some roy.
atty, believe me.
DEITY PHILIPPE. the daughter of
- the B. Pembcrton phillippes. of
Devon. is having a wonderful time these
days off with friends on n motoring tour
through the Berkshircs. Breton Woods
and the rest of the gorgeous country in
cluded in that ideal trip. and they are
to finish up with n three weeks stay
In Poland Springs. Her father and
mother are out at Yellowstone Park and
other interesting places in the far West.
Betty. you know. was recently grad
uated by the class of occupational ther
apy, which was organized by the Ma
tional League for Woman's Service and
which had several other younger Phila-
delphians on its roll. Among them was
Nancy Morris. Frances Mears and Eliz-
abeth Pencher, of Wilmington the last
named having just been graduated from
Vassar when she started the occupa-
tional course.
VESTERDAY I heard that the pro
l. ceeds of the Indoor Horse Show
amounted to $500. including donations
and the ambulance fund. The show
was given in May. you remember. the
eighth, ninth and tenth The benefici-
aries this year were six hospitals. the
American Hospital. the Polytechnic, the
Oncologic, the Babies Hospital. the
Garretson and the Samaritan. Five
' thousand dollars has been paid over to
them and the rest will be paid shortly
This was the eighth annual show. and
hear that Mrs. Walter Hancock, who
L. ,I..,., IL. Al. 49,
already thinking up attractive features
for next years show. 1t strikes me
$500 is very good for three days, one
OF which was a rainy one.
pUT, talking of funds raised at vari-
- Gus entertainments. / had thought
/ the biggest thing I had over heard of
was that rummage sale held last year
for the benefit of st. Edmond's Home
for Crippled Children when the work
ers raised more than SIT 900 for the
home. But my dears, do you know
that on that single day of June %,
when the navy yard was opened to the
public for the first time since the war,
they cleared $24 900 for the Navy Re
lief Fund. In one day mind you
LOU We got 10 mana IL TO tnem, maven
you?
TiHEY are both up at Winter Harbor,
= and at various times during the sum-
mer one or the other has appeared in n
lovely, fluffy and smart frock and danced
In said frock all evening.
Well, of course. the gossips got busy
as only the gossips in small resorts can,
and it was whispered about in wonder
ing tones (Which one do you think
owns that dress and which one borrows
: It from the other?"
And so the talk went on. till finally
one of the girls heard breath of it
! and after laughing over it great deal
: called up the other OH the telephone and
told her of it.
There was to be dance the next eve
ming to which both girls were going
and so Miriam suggested that they
both wear those bridesmaids frocks"
that night and set at rest forever the
silly gossip.
And the joke of it was, that no one
had ever thought of such an explana-
ton, though many knew that those girls
had often been in the same bridal par
ties. NANCY WYNNE.
