Theestarted today for Japan, you know.
They are going first to Vancouver, l be-
lieve, and thence to Japan. OF course, the
trip out will be taken leisurLly, SO that the
western country in it's spring clothes Will |
be a JOY to gaze upon.
They are going to stay with the Roy
Morrises, you know Roy Morris, or rather
Roland Morris, is our ambassador to japan
and is, incidentally. brother of Mrs. Rus-
sell Duane, who was May Morris. Dolly |
Duane's real name is Sarah FRANKLIN
Duane, and she is about fourteen years
old. In fact. Dolly has been having a
great time this winter at the Wurts Class
and at various parties. quite few din
ners have been given for her. Shes very
attractive little girl and her friends Will
miss her lot: but then, just think of the
wonderful letters she will write of her en-
periences on the way out and over IN
Japan with her small cousins Roland
Morris, you remember, married Augusta
West, whose mother in turn was Miss
Shippen in fact, Mrs. Morris's name was
Augusta Shipper West.
She is also a Philadelphian The Nor
rises have been in Japan more than year
now since Mr.. Morris was appointed am
bassador by President Wilson.
1t must be wonderful country to visit,
though do not think l would care to live
there. It's so entirely different from our
way Of living that, while one enjoys
change for time, it's apt to become mo-
notonous in few years. The Duanes are
going to stay six months.
WELL there certainly wss wild time
w at the dancing class yesterday after
noon at Merion-or rather classes, for there
are several different ages who dance at
different times. In the oldest class is
Catharine Clothier, who dressed as
Little Bo Peep-did ! say that it was the
fancy dress meeting and she had a real
live lamb with her. He had a perfectly
black face, and he Baad around the floor
and posed for his picture with all the rest
of the children and when the class was
over he was offered bottle of milk, which
he fell on with low growl. Hence the
wild time-everybody wanted to see him
and make a fuss over him. Catharine is
the Isaac Clothiers' daughter, YOU know
and she looked sweet in her costume. There
were some awfully attractive costumes
and i wish you could have seen little
Sammy Nauclain-he was an Irishman in
a black tail-coat green trousers, fiowered
Vest and the regulation high hat. And his
ser Louise was an Irish peasant. You
KIN Athe two are inseparable, and Sammy
won't stand up in the line unless Louise is
right with him. so Of course they had to
dress alike. And the Caldwell twins
Anne and Jean--were the dearest things
you ever saw as Red Riding Hoods. Alex
ander Brown was very gorgeous in black
velvet with a white plunied hat. and Edith
Kendrick wore a stunning affair OF white
satin with white swans downy stuff and
a white hat to match There were lots
of other perfectly sweet costumes. and it
was one of the cutest parties I've seen
for ages.
ND you see the crowd waiting outside
~ 500 Chestnut street yesterday for the
opening of the rummage sale there? Gee
wiz! And up at 1925 Chestnut street
there was another opening. The 500 is to
last three days and is for the Misericordia
Hospital, anS the 1925 is for the Home
for the Aged, which is under the care of
All Saints sisters just across from st.
Clements Church at Twentieth and Cherry
streets.
l wonder and wonder where the things
come from usually, but today wondered
where on earth the people who buy come
from, And next week there'll be the
Jefferson Hospital sale. Why, it's fierce,
isn't it? But If you go to any Of them
you're sure to be glad, for you find that
YOU will be able to buy the very thing you
need for almost a song. And yet, when
YOU hear the women who get these things
up talk, you hear that one sale made $1,000,
another $4,000, another $4,000 and even
$4,000, as was the case only few weeks
ago.
WENT over to New York the other day
and saw Mrs King Wainwright, Mrs.
Sam Grocer and Mrs. Walter Foulke on
Fifth avenue. They were OF shopping.
theatre.going expedition and will spend two
or three days in New York. think it's
lots of fun to go over there on that kind
of a party--two or three cor genial women.
You can stick to yourselves, see the shows
YOU want to, have a regular buying fest
and come back with an entirely new and
rested point of view.
