Il FTERNOON, they tell me, IS the
"A time for the future debs and sub
debs who are at Cape May to gather
on the beach. The wee bird wrote to
me the other day and said 'it' had
been flying round over the beach, and
had seen such an attractive bunch Of
them. debs I mean. There was Lys-
beth Boyd, Barbara's sister. and Ban
ming Grange, who has wonderful eyes.
ind Sarah Harrison and Gertrude
Dougherty, and apparently dozens Of
boys who were much too interested in
their companions to turn around and
let that bird see who they were. How
ever, one was Percy Wilson, that
''peach of n dancer so the girls say,
and Henry Robb.
I tell you who is an attractive girl
in the younger set-Nlona Grocer. She
promises to be as popular as her
mother ever was, and don't forget that
Florence, her .5unger sister, is al
ready a close second, even though she
is only fifteen. for she looks older, and
she is awfully cute.
r CANNOT say that 1 was exactly
i surprised when ] heard that MISS
Anne Megary was engaged to that good
looking major of the engineers corps,
with whom l have seen her waking
several times. You know she went
overseas more than a year ago WIN
the Jefferson Unit and did splendld
work there. She came home apou.
two months ago and lives at 2ZZ-
r s..
John Megary. and her aunt, Mrs. free
man. She is a sister of Mrs. barry
Colahan, Mrs. Markoe Rivinus and
Mrs. Elliot Newlin. A fourth sister
was Bessie Megary Edison, who died IN IN
the last year while her sister was stiii
In Europe.
Anne Megary has been awfully pop
ular and many of her friends Will be
interested to hear of her engagement
Mr.. Stanley, whose name is Charies
R.,>is of New York, and has only
lately ben mustered out of the serv-
ice. He and Miss Megary met over
there No date has yet been set 1or
the wedding.
TT CERTAINLY must be fierce to go
i into your house and find most of the
things you cherish gone while you are
taking an innocent little vacation at
Cape May. 1t was a lucky thing for
the Lawrence Wilburs that the police
met those men on Lancaster avenue the
other day carrying more dress suit
cases than they could handle, for
their guess was right, the things were
the Wilburs's. You know Eleanor Will
bur and her husband moved into Mrs.
Charles Williams house, on Cheswold
lane in Haverford, last winter, and
have been living there until few weeks
ago, when they went to Cape May.
Mrs. Williams is Mrs. Wilbur's mother.
The trouble about their losses is
4 that what was found in the dress suit
cases Is as nothing compared with all
that has been taken. There must have
been several trips to the house, and the
men who were found with the goods
swear that they bought them from
another man. However, it is to be
hoped that the whereabouts of the
other articles will be forthcoming soon.
There was a lot of Eleanor's silver
4 and some of her clothes and some of
Mr.. Wilburs in fact, gossip says that
ne of the men was wearing a pair OF
Lr. Wilbur's shoes.
DON'T you love that jade green
- which is being worn so much this
year? / saw Kitty Brinton on Chest
nut street last Wednesday and she was
wearing a gingham frock of that lovely
shade made perfectly plain and finished
. with one of the narrow sashes of the
material SO fashionable this summer.
The round open neck and long sleeves
of the frock had white rutfies, and Miss
Brinton wore black stockings and pumps
and a wide -brimmed black straw hat
made with a velvet crown and adorned
with stiff black quill.
Mrs. William Drayton Grange. who
is down at Cape May, has a feather of
that wonderful green on a large black
hat. She was wearing it last Sunday
with a very handsome dress of white
tricolette.
4 TT IS hard on you when you marry
and 60 away for while and get let
ters which are apparently full of news
and yet you can't just exactly always
read the writing. Witness the distress
Of one young bride of several months
who, on receiving a letter from tried
. and true friend who writes conscien-
tiously to her frequently. wrote to an
other friend and remarked: 81 had a
letter from Ethel telling me of Molly s
engagement to-but to save my life I
could not make out whether the mans
name is Fogg or Hogg. Her writing is
so fierce. hope it's the former name. I"
Let us hope it was.
