day because it's Elinor Thompson 8
debut. you know. and she is going to
have her tea at her home, Brookwood
Farm, in Greenville, Del. Not that

addition to a tea. Elinor has some of
the smartest girls of the season among
those, receiving with her and 1 believe
it will be lovely party. Elinor is the
younger sister of Mary Thompson, who
married Tom Reath, Jr., and of Kath
crime and Henry B. Thompson, Jr.

room and remarked "Tnese ought to
be in front, they'll never sell back
here. NO, madam. | hope they
won't" cried one of the hats owners,
as'he hastily explained, That's mine.

Indeed l put my best silk umbrella

affair, that / would't give to any cause
which remark is not generous, but
true.
