teresting to me. Miss Louise Driscoll,
who ia well known in the poetical world
and who lately received the prize Of
fered by magazine for the best war
poem, is to give an address on modern
poetry. ~.
Then there Is to be a discussion on
the same subject, led by Mrs. Florence
Earle Coates, who is, as you know, a
talented writer Of verse, and Phoebe
Hoffman, who has done quite bit of
poetry herself. r.
AS IS often the case, first plans are
A likely to be changed. The Bar
clays have changed theirs and will have
one tea instead of two to introduce
Caroline. The date is October II.
Caroline is the eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. William Lyttleton Barclay
and a sister Of Anne and Billie Barclay.
Her mother was Miss Anne Wister,
daughter Of the late Mr.. Jones Wister
by his first marriage.
Caroline is very lovely, girl, i am
told. l have not met her yet myself,
but the wee bird says she is pretty, has
decided charm and sense of humor
that is rather rare. A kindly sense of
humor, too. which is a fine quality.
The tea will be at the Barclays place
in Chestnut Hill.
ANOTHER Chestnut Hill debutante,
"A Elizabeth Barlow, has changed her
plans, and though she will come out and
20 about with her friends the early part
of the season, will not entertain until
later. Her grandmother, Mrs. Francis
o. Allen, died the latter part of July,
and Elizabeth does not want any par =
ties just yet; though l understand II
was her grandmother wish that she
should not put off her debut. but
should 60 out with the girls Of her own
age with whom she had grown up and
with whom she would enjoy herself
more than in another year.
Elizabeth is the eldest daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Josiah b. Barlow. Mrs.
Barlow was Miss Margaret Allen.
When they finally decide to entertain.
Elizabeth's uncle and aunt, Mr.. and
Mrs. Heatley Dulles, will chaperone
the party. -
MARGARET GRAHAM, another
AVA Chestnut Hill debutante. has been
having gay summer in Newport. She
is the daughter of Mr., and Mrs. How
ard Spencer Graham, you. know, and a
cousin of the Thayers, Molly and her
brothers. Mrs. Graham was Miss Rita
Thayer, sister of Miss Josephine

out West to live, and sister also of Mr..
William Thayer and half sister Of Gen :
eral Russell Thayer. Margaret's elder
sister, Maria Graham, married Ricardo
Zimmerman several years ago. They

Well, to return to Margaret. She
was guest of honor Saturday at a

Newport. The Grahams are coming
back to Philadelphia about the first of
next month. Margaret will be pre-
sented at a tea On Saturday, Octo-

II FORGOT, there's another postponed
i tea. 1t is that which, Mrs. Isaac
Tatnall Starr was to have given to in
troduce her niece, Mary Trotter Good =
man, daughter of Mrs. Howard Seaver,
on the 9th of this month. ....

LIES not very old and he was going
IL to have party for some of his
little friends. And so one afternoon
he and Mother went out for a shopping
expedition and chose gifts for the com
ing guests. But before the party for
his little friends was to come off Mother
had decided to give a party for some
little children who had never seen the
country nor had a party in their lives.
So after the gifts came home Mother
remarked: "Oh, Mothers just had an
awful thought" "What is it?" said
Small Son. II guess I'd better not tell
it,"
"Oh. yes, do"' he said. "well,
Mother was thinking how much more
those little poor children might enjoy
those toys we bought than your friends
II we were to give them to them"
"Oh," said Small Son, ~ don t
think that's an awful thought. We
just won't let the little poor children
know about them" well, I dom t
know said Mother.
The, next evening, however, when
Small Son came in from play he went
to her and said: Mother, I've been
thinking perhaps your friends would
enjoy those toys more than mine, SO
they can have them.p
