Nancy lynne Chats about Pretty Blue CostumeInter-
esting Doings at Opening of Navy Yard to Visitors
June 28-Philadelphan to Marry Southerner

those awful sultry days, and she looked
delightfully."- cool and neat. She had on
n dark blue voile, made very simply,
with wide tucks in the skirt, and white
organde sash with long ends. The col
lar and cuffs wer, of tucked ruffing, and
she had the most attractive little hat of
dark blue georgette, turned up on one
side and down on the other, to hold two
brown and blue quills.
She wasn't half so cool as she looked,
for she was tanning herself inadequately
with handkerchief that she took from
her bag of blue brocaded. silk and vel
vet but she certainly did look attrac-
tive. She has blue eyes, you know,
and the most delightfully."- wavy hair of
a bright 'old gold" shade.
vNTELL, have you heard about the ex
w citement down at the navy yard on
the 2Sth? That's week from Sat
urday and you must be sure to keep
1t OPEN, because it's the first and only
time that the yard has been opened to
visitors since the war and there will be
all kinds of things going on. It's called
Navy Relief Day" Just as you get
inside the yard you come to the adjoin-
ing places of Mrs. Arthur Burneston
Owens. wife of Major Owens. U. s. Nj.
c.. and Mrs. Frank e. Evans, wife of
Lieutenant Colonel Evans, also U. S.
NJ. c., and on their combined lawns
= there will be the marine corps booth,
where souvenirs of the marine corps
and all kinds of interesting things. in
cluding some stunning recruiting
posters, will be sold-and incidentally,
if YOU nay tiny bit extra for a
poster. Colonel Evans will autograph it.
Then there's to be dancing every
where you turn. on the ships, at the
X. of c.. at the Y. NJ. C. A. recreation
hall and in every available space.
Z Imagine dancing on the deck of ship
once again! And the Nevada, which
is one of the largest ships we have,
will be there then, and will have
dancing on her-you always speak of
ship as her, don't you? but it sort OF
makes me squirm to say dancing on
cher poor thing!
Well. of course, you want to know
who's interested. There are marine,
navy and civilian people, among them
Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Owens, OF
course, and Mrs. Owens's son in law
and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. j. Chan
dler Barnard, Major and Mrs. A. j.:

Mrs. Moulton X. Johnson, Naval Con-
structor and Mrs. Robert, Commander
and Mrs. Archibald Parsons and Cap

lander. Mrs. b. Dobson Altemus, Mrs.
George de Benneville Keim, MIR. ana
Mrs. George Horace Lorimer, Mrs. Cor :
nelius Stevenson and Mr.. and Mrs. n.
IT. Stotesbury. Oh, yes, and did say
that the motor messengers, or rather
the Red Cross motor corps, are going
to get together that day and run a
motor service through the yard! Ihe
Logan branch of the e. A. A. IS also
going to be there as an organization
and have charge of booth.
Things have been happening down at
League Island since people have been
through there. and l think you'll be
surnrised to see it all, and I also think
that everything will look It's pest on
that day, too. because there's so much
going on. There will be trick nSlhs,
submarine diving, sham battle ana
things for the youngsters. I'll prob
ably tell you more about VINO inter
ested in what later.

the executive committee; Captain John
Ross Martin, treasurer, and Lieutenant
Commander f. r. Payne, executive
aide How in the world do they evel
keen all their titles and things straight
I've skipped all kinds of initials and
wasted a whole fifteen minutes figuring
ont that "ret'' might possibly meal
"retired." wonder if it does!

Isn't it funny how many Phlladei

Mclean, whose wife was Claire Ran

Groome, who married Gladys league
and William Taylor, whose marriage t
Pauline Maynard, of Knoxville, too

mistaken. l suppose it's the war whic
took people down South to visit rela
tives in camp and brought southerner
