accident. Did you know she was thrown
from her horse while hunting down in
Aiken, s. c., where her parents and she
are spending several weeks? Her wrist
was broken. Aix, you know, has been
taking a course in nursing. I mean q real
honest-to- goodness course, not few weeks
or months one, but a couple of years, and
she has been having a well.earned holiday.
1t is too bad this accident has happened.
However it's better than a broken arm.
The Bob Strawbridges are down in Aiken,
too, and Anita, their attractive daughter,
is with them.
Anita, il am not mistaken is about the
comingout age, and will be among next
years debs. It's difficult to keep tab on
the exact ages of the youngsters as they
come along, when they get to be about
sixteen, for so many Of them turn up their
hair now when they are only fifteen. Crhe
boys won't dance with them at the parties,
If You please, when their tresses are al
lowed to flow down the back; that means
they are Kids. Can you beat itO
Next year it will be rather hectic as to
ages anyhow. because lot of the girls
of nineteen who would have come out last
year and the year before will make their
debut next, and you won't be able to say
in future years: oh yes, she came out in
1920 and so she must have been eighteen
then and so she's about ninety now; you
know the way you do. Be that as it may,
they are all coming out and it's going to
be wonderful winter as far as parties
are concerned.
r WISH you could have been with me
on Monday afternoon at the Chaplin
Memorial Home for the Blind. They had
one of their afternoon tea parties for the
old people who are at that home, and Mrs.
Edgar Fahs Smith, who was in charge of
the entertainment asked the quartet of
the University Giee Club to sing for them,
and they did, and beautifully at that, and
they accompanied the old people when
they wanted to sing; and little Miss Heis-
Ter was out there and sang, too.
Altogether 1t was a lovely party. Mrs.
William Woodward, you know, is chair.
man of the auxiliary of ladies who, amorg
other things, get up these little parties four
and five times year. She has done won
derful work together with her committee,
and you know she is blind herself-has
been for twelve years--but she's ready to
go anywhere and do anything for others
and has I honestly believe, done more for
the blind in this city than any other one
person here.
In connection with the Chaplin Memorial
Home, by the way, the Matinee Musical
Club members will give a concert next
Wednesday night. March 26, at the Nor
mandie, Thirty sixth and Chestnut streets,
for the benefit of the Memorial Home.
soorotby Iobpstopa RaSeler will Dlay her
harp, Zoltan de Horvath will play num-
ber of his piano compositions and Miss
Ruth Buck, Miss Kathryn Meisle and Mr..
Howard Berry will sing.
The philanthropy committee of the musi
Gale Club has had a concert every year for
the home and the silver offerings given by
the. attending guests have made quite
sum for the home, which is not endowed
and must depend on the charity Of its
friends.
DID you hear about the huge fish Harri.
- son Dulles, Jr., caught down in Palm
Beach recently? lie and his parents are
down there for a while, you know. Well,
Harrison went fishing and he caught the
largest kingfish ever recorded there. What
do you know about that? 1t weighed sixty

some cute little time landing Mr.. Fish.
He's having it mounted, my informant tells
me, and they say he's going to take 1t to
New York with him as a souvenir. Some
souvenir You know the Dulleses have
been living in New York for some time,
though they are Philadelphians.
TEDDY was busily engaged In testing the
capacity of his hands, for holding mud
rainy day the day before being still evil

to see how completely they (the hands, dis
appeared under a fair sized lump of mud.
So interesting, in fact, that he never knew
a thing about the time until he heard the
maid calling him TO come get his bath and
get ready for dancing class. Dancing class

submitted to BATH and then clean clothes,
slippers that refused to stay on his feet,
n large and flowing necktie and much comb

Z he was ready, and as Mother patted him
approvingly on the shoulder and asked him
for the last time whether he had a hand

hat, he sighed violently and remarked re-
