hear tIlt the Countess Of GrGnard

Tho funny part, in case you shouidn t
see It. is the duchess and the countess
and the Ogden and the Ogden. It's
really quite rectangle, and il you
didn't know just which was who, you d
got remarkably tangled up. Mrs. Mills
gave a large dinner on Sunday in honor
Of her daughter.
A ND another titled arrival on la
"A France. who is Of more interest
TO Philadcphians than either the
duchess or the countess. was Lady Low
b ther. And she. too, has gone to New
port TO visit her sister. Mrs. Payne
Thompson. For you know Lady Low
ther is none other than the former Alice

TF,YOT' should ask me. Of course, you
L haven't, and as far as I can sec, you
won't, but if you should. I'd say that
one Albert Cook Myers, of the Histor-
ical Society. is good sport. You know
how it raincd on Sunday? No doubt
YOU do no doubt You remember now II
spoiled your week end trip to the sea =
shore by creating such an undcrtow that
YOU could hardly stand up in the water,
or by compelling you to get out INTO II
and put on your nasty noisy CHAINS or
by keeping you in the house when you
wanted to take nice walk and stop
somewhere for tea.
Well, it didn't do any Of those things
TO Mr.. Myers. for he. in spite OF inc
downpour and the mist. farCd forth or
his Historical Hike and had eighty
three other good sports to take alons
with him-the q. G.. S. being service
men. And just to show that they don
mind rain they had their pirturc'
took" lfGe islands completely sur
rounded by rain. Then they stopped ir
at tho Y. and had a swim. and after
that the usual supper and entertainment
at the Ship and Tent Club.
The Emergency Aid was "hostcss
for the supper. Mrs. a. j. 'assatt u
chairman of that you know, and be
lieye Mrs, Willis Martin was rcSponsl
bic for this affair Mrs. \. Allcr
Stockton was there, as usual. with hc
committee, to wait on the men. ON
yes. and the War Camp Communit!
Service was responsible for the swim a
the Y.-/not the swim along the streCt
of this, our we'll known home town.
THE family is spending the summe
i Mt the seashore. but Father, bcint
a very busy man. can only get ther
over Sunday, and each week end he get
n different room in the hotel. Wecl
before last he was on the fourth floor
but last week he couldn't do any bette
than the seventh. But by the time h
got there he didn't care whether he wa
on the seventh or the subway, so loni
as there was n place to lie down. Ant
so thinking he did.
Some time later. Mother, who hat
planned all kinds of things for just tina
afternoon. got tired Of waiting, and hus
Ting up in the elevator, she rushed III
to the door. Here. here, here sh
exclaimed, rattling the doorknob cn
Enthusiastically. Are you going to slec
all afternoop?' And the tormente'
door opened suddenly and Il wrathfu
head appeared. Then Mother, witt
horror and amazement, realized that sh
had never seen that wrathful head be-
lore, More than that, as she hustlc'
down the corridor. she discovered wit
fresh horror that the floor she was OF
was not the seventh, but the fourth
Mother was a week behind the times.
