T HEAR that the George Packards
will arrive home tomorrow. What
A wonderful summer they have had at
their big camp in the ,Adirondacks! Of
course, I know some people laugh at the
idea Of those camps in the A~driondacks
being camps. because they have so many
conveniences. but even IL they oil had
electric lights aud hot and cold water.
there would still be tho :wilds of the
mountains outside aid the swimming in
the Lake. and ,tic gorgeous atmosphere Of
that beautiful country, - .
Ties ackards were up there about
tw6s months aud had Or. and Mrs.
ArthIr Billings With them in August,
You know Mrs. Billings was Mary
Packard, She aud Elisabeth came out
together thrcr years ago at the same
tina as Hannah Hobart. Mrs. Charles
Wheeler gave. the tea. because Mr.. and
Mrs. Packard were in mourning then.
To go back to the Adirondacks, both
Elisabeth and Ruth had house parties
off aud on through the summer. and
except for the two weeks when it was
very rainy, the weather was ideal.
Did you hear about the funny tennis
game they had up there near SarHnac
Inn in August. between the girls and
the. men, the latter playing with their
left. hands and dressed up AZ gtrk?
Charlie Bidd|e. from some unknown
corner unearthed any number Of pig
tails with which he adorned his head. L
never heard who. beat who, but I should
think the pigtails would have beaten
all. For which remark. | would say
were OF, the jury. that Nancy should
be quietly but neatly put out of the
way. ,.,.
ND you bear of Peggy Perot's en-
- gagcment to Erwin Fiero? It was
announced on Saturday. / cant say ]
was nwflhly surprised. because most OF
us have Known that Erwin. has been
devoted to Peggy for some time. She
Is the, youngest of the three Perot girls.
Helen, the eldest. married DR.. Warren
Walker. and Bessie is Mrs. Meredith
Gardiner. Peggy came ont about four
years ago and had n dandy time. She
has that same, wonderful fair hair that
the others have. Her mother. who was
Miss Caroline Graham. had wonderful
golden hair, and all three daughters
have inherited that beauty.
THE Philadelphia Country Club was
L one OF the most crowded places I
ever got into on Saturday afternoon.
And my goodness. but wasn't it Il won
derful sight. those eight men in their
nl,,h ooJnr, y,Jt,- Alo,, hon,,tt,1 nnninc
as they tore from one end of the field to
the other. And the %stunningly gowned
women made a scene not to be forgotten.
I do think the Country Club is one of
the prettiest spots around Philadelphia.
Did you ever see anything like the mum
Der of automobiles parked there? And
the boxes were certainly jammed. Mrs.
John Converse looked awfully smart.
She always does. 7 have seldom seen
a woman carry herself so well. 1t was
nice to see Mrs. Harry VAIN Harrison.
Catherine Coke. who will undoubtedly
be one of the most feted of the debu-
tantes, was in her > fathers box. Il
missed the Bob ~Montgomerys, but. of
course, they were at Jacks wedding.
He and Agnes Spencer We're married at
st. Marks on Saturday afternoon. YOU
know.
Ethel HUM Bailey and Pauline
Denckla. the inseparables, were in Mr..
George ~Huhn's box. ] thought Maria
Frazer Dougherty looked very we'll and
so did, Gladys. Mather- Well, as you
see, everyone was there who was not at
the Montgomery Spencer wedding, and
the weather adding, much to the joy of
nations. "a good time was had by all
CUSTER wasn't very big, 50 it really
~ was a shame to let her go ahead and
make herself appear foolish, but then it
was a temptation. She is eleven years
old. apd has lately acquired a bicycle,
which. she isl supposed to keep bright
and shiny, Int mi day when she rode
up to her Observation-Disclosures
lives about a quarter of a mile further
up the road said bicycle was. alas =!
marked with rust.
Grandmother called Sister, attention
to it. but Sister said ''Oh yes. I know.
but I can't get it off" Grandmother
smiled and said 81 think if you used
a little elbow grease you could Sis
ter cooked her head on one side and
said whats elbow grease but no
one answered her.
Next day she came in very red in
the face and said Grandmother, what
Is elbow grease? I asked them for it
AZ the store and both those old men just
burst out laughing and said they hadn't
any
