ruin, ram, ram, I'LL every one is about
MS soaked as the wheat crop, and thnt's
going some! Did you ever know any
thing to beat it, and when you hear
that, don't you want to kick someone?
And yet don't you want to say il your
self? You do.
why, yesterday was going out
where L wanted to look decently dressed
and L spent the whole morning chang
ing first into white shoes and a light
1rock when the sun was out and then
before the frock was buttoned on, the
rain would pour down again and into
dark shoes and gown got I, only to re-
move them a half hour later when the
sun came out and get into the sum
merry outfit once more. Then. finally
finish up in the dark confection and
out in the street in the sun
However, there are some places
where the sun is shining a bit. At
Newport it is not bad, only one day of
rain l hear, and out in Ohio no bad
weather at all. SO they'll get theirs
after while, and we will pant in the
rays of exceeding hot sun, I doubt not,
ere this summer is over.
SAW Izora Hunter Davis in the mid
die of one of the pours of Sunday
looking very well in q lowered pink
voile frock and a pastel green hat
trimmed with wild flowers. She was
waiting under an awning, and Doctor
Davis was with her wearing fannels
and dark coat. Fortunately, their
car came for them. and they managed
TO elude the young deluge which was
emptying itself from the clouds at that
moment.
THE Joe Wideners will give a dinner
Il dance in Newport on the eighth of
August for Arell. their son. Arell was
III the service during the war and is
now spending the summer in Newport
with his parents. Fiji. as I told you,
is not to come out until next year, as
she is still only seventeen. The dinner
dance is to be given for the younger
set, and some of the younger married
people will go too. | have not heard
that any subdebs will be there, unless
Eff herself is present, and I suppose
she will be. It's hard to have a party
and exclude ones daughter just because
she is a year too young.
WHAT wonderful time Mrs. Russell
w Duane had in Japan. She and her
daughter went on several months ago
to visit Mrs. Duane's brother and
sister in law the Roy Morrises, and
they had an audience with the empress
n'everything. And they have come
back to our own country now by way
Of San Francisco. I understand. Mrs.
Morris and Sarah and Ted Morris
came over with them, but Mrs. Morris
will probably stay out in the West and
then return to Japan. while the Duanes
will come back to Philadelphia travelling
slowly through the West.
QUITE number of the Y workers
~ are homeward bound these days.
Miss Esther Lloyd. who has been work
ing wonderfully at Brest, is on her way.
She has been overseas for some time
and had charge of the hostess house in
Brest for awhile and of the rest house
in Brittany just outside of Brest. She
was quite i'll but, has recovered and
has been working at Federes where the
army has put up wonderful hut and
the Y Is In charge. They have huge
stage at one end and an inclined floor
and the other end has the kitchen and
counter where the Y girls serve the
boys.
I understand there was a costume
party held there last week, and the men
all appeared in Y. NJ. G. A. aprons
and caps, and what the girls costumes
were was not stated. It's awfully hard
work, but it must pay to know how
much you are helping to brighten the
soldiers who are awaiting to return
hcme
Elizabeth Williams has been working
in Brest She is to return home soon,
and Eleanore Bispham has done really
splendid work over there, too. It's
wonderful how many girls from here
have gone over, and even come back,
and some of us do not even know that
they had gone, yet they have been there
for months; and, believe me, the boys
over there know that they have been
there, and they won't forget 1t.
VOU never can tell what is going to
i happen even when you 60 to church.
Usually, you think therell be a hymn
here and prayer there and sermon
here, but the regular doings at GER
tain very fashionable suburban church
were almost upset by a most unusual
incident last Sunday.
1t was about time for the sermon,
and suddenly there was much whisper
ing and shutting about near the pulpit;
and then one usher appeared from the
bottom of the church and another from
the top of the church, and little "che,
che, ches" were heard and "shoo, shoe,
Shoes" And then every one saw the
cat descend from the pulpit, while the
rector, taking her place, gave out the
text. NANCY WYNNE.
