Nancy lynne Is Proud Of Philadelphia at Newport
Horse Sho,o-She Tells Of Various Week-End
Doings and Scents an Engagement

yLTE HAVE cause to be proud of the
w showing Of Philadelphians at the
Newport Horse Show last week. Did
you know that Connie yauclain carried
OF ten frsts, four seconds and two
third prizes, besides three champion
ships and two reserves? In fact, she led
the winners of the show. Isaac Cloth
iers horses were the best in the jump
ing class. So Miss vauclain and Mr..
Clothier not only kept Philadelphia de-
cidedly on the map, but led of with
honors.
The Joe wideners, Paul Mills, Ber-
winds, Bob Cassatts and various other
Philadelphans who are at Newport
were at the show every day, in the
boxes and about the oval. Mrs. Alex
ander Brown and Kitty Penn Smith
went over each day from Narragansett.
Kitty rode Eleanora Sears's horses for
Der and looked as usual awfully well
: in her riding clothes.
Do you know saw Kitty at party
last winter in an evening gown, and
honest to goodness l did not know
her? It was the first time l had ever
seen her in anything but riding clothes.
She is very good looking in evening
clothes, let me tell you. This was a
reddish frock with no color to relieve IT
and it brought out the whiteness OF her
reck and arms and was extremely
becoming.
NOU. know the Gilbert Mathers came
4 up from Cape May this week and
have moved into their Radnor house
for the coming season. Bud and Han
sell Patterson have taken the cottage
they had ard over his week end have
Theodore Lille and Katherine Ogden
with them as their aests. Hansen
has wee baby, you NOW, just about
two months old, besides the one two
years of age.
YT,HE younger set of Cape May was
4 4 well represented last week in the
South Jersey tennis tournament. IL
was played on the Ocean City Yacht
Club courts. Helen Sewell, Betty
Strubing, Eddie Cossard and Pat
Thornton were the!four Cape May rep
resentatives. They have been taking
part in everything going it seems to
me, that is, the girls were in the girls
singles and doubles both, and the boys
were in the mems singles and doubles
and in the mixed doubles too.
Mrs. Sewell entertained for them Mt
dinner on their return from Ocean City.
TT is great happiness to her friends
i to know that Margaret Smith Hart
has entirely recovered from her very Sc
yer illness and was even able to enter,
tain a few of her friends at bridge last
week. She was desperately Ill for many
weeks, you know. There was great anx-
iety about her condition. but thank
Heaven she is well and strong again
now. She and Tommy and their tiny
daughter have been spending the sum
mcr with Margaret's mother, Mrs.
Harry Clifton Adams. Mrs. Adams Is
at present spending a few weeks in
Northeast Harbor..
r HEAR that Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick
i English have returned to this part
of the country after quite an extensive
tour of the West. Mrs. English has
gone down to Cape May to join Beatrice
and Elaine, who have been spending
most of the summer at the Windsor.
Those girls have been indefatigable war
workers. as indeed their mother has
been, too.
CPEAKING of Mrs. English, makes
~ me think of the Independence
Square Red Cross work rooms, which
are to be opened again this week. in
fact, they were only closed a few days
In August, for Mrs. George Lorimer,
who is chairman of that auxiliary, has
come in frequently to the rooms since
her return from the West, to see to mail
and various other things. a..
Mrs. English is one of Mrs. Lorimer's S
right hand helpers in the work for the
4 Red Gross, as are the rest of the board
of managers. Florence Hopkinson, you
know. succeeded her mother, Mrs. Clin-
ton Rogers Woodruff, who did such fine
work as treasurer before her sad and
sudden death last winter.
IBID I tell you about them? Well,
II she's as tiny as tiny can be, and he
is very tall and very handsome and
dark and she Is blond and fair doesn't t
it read like book?). And he is per-
fectly fascinated, so fascinated that II
she but gives him the tiniest sign OF
encouragement he'll swim right in.
Something tells me he's going to get
that encouragement, too, because hap
peped, oh just by the merest chance,
OF course, to see the expression in her
eyes the other day when she looked at
him and he was not looking at her. I'll
admit it was n remarkable moment, for
every time l see them together, and
that's been pretty often, he absolutely
has had no eyes at all for any one
else. Indeed, I'm sure it's a 60,
and as soon as ! know I'll tell YOU.
You just ought to have seen him help
her over the isnce the other day in the
quaint New England town where they
are both spending a holiday.
II she had been piece Of carved
ivory he could not have been more care
full. You never can tell where Nancy
will appear on the, scenes, can your
You cannot, NANCY WYNNE.
