T SAW Mrs. James NJ Anders Saturday
enjoying the marvellous sunshine on Chest
nut street-wasn't il wonderful on Sntur-
day? And she looked so perfectly stunning
that 1 almost lost an eye taking in the cos
tune. 1t was dark blue dress, with an
overskirt of very dark gray jersey silk, and
I think the girdle was of the jersey. too.
Then she wore long blue cape and Il hat
of dark gray straw braid-nn unusual look
ing material-1 had never seen anything
quite like it, and it matched the dress TO
perfection. The crown was sort of soft and
easily Topped to one side or the other nc
cording TO the preference of the wcarcr--said
wearer Hopping it little TO the right in
such a way as to show her beautiful carly
gray hair most becomingly. ..
ND I tell you that the Orpheus mixed
~ quartet is going to give another concert
on Wednesday night of this week? This time
; the charity is the Children's Bureau. and
that always appeals, does it not? Mrs.
Louis Madeira is president Of the Chill
dren's Bureau, and do you know that about
thousand kiddies are cared for by this
bureau each year? That's some work
don't you think! | must say I think the
Orpheus mixed quartet is one fine institu-
tion. too, for you know these four young
people sing the most elaborate and difficult
music and sing it extremely well. and they
give their talent for the simple thank you.
That's real giving, for it's not only
digging down into your pocket. but it's
giving your time and talent for others
pleasure. The concert given in December
by these four singers cleared more than

Just as much thrilled with them-especall
