Nancy lynne Tells Of the Lieber and Thuyer Teas.
Many attend Race Meet on Saturday at Normandy
Fwm-Main Line Women Help Hospital

no YOU know Sunday was certainly
~ real day of rest after Saturdays
teas. / just had to give up going to the
Earle affair in Chestnut Hill and / am
sorry; for I hear it was lovely and that
Margaret looked perfectly sweet.
Bless your heart they all do Those
girls with their fresh compilations and
dainty frocks with background Of all
the flowers you ever saw in your life.
Really the Thayers' rooms looked like
n conservatory and the Licbers' house
was jammed with bouquet upon bou
quet. 1t is a shame how many of those
wonderful flowers have to die so soon,
because no human house could possibly
contain enough vases to hold them and
besides they are usually made up to
place about the room instead of in the
vases.
Mrs. Thayer looked just as pretty as
Polly and Peggy and that's going some
She wore wonderful gown of black
velvet and her hair was most artisti-
cally arranged. Polly dimpled and
smiled and was just as sweet as ever.
She looked lovely in pale pink and blue
tulle.
Mrs. Jack Thayer, Lois Cassatt that
was, wore soft champagne colored
crepe de chine dress and a large dark
brown hat with little fur round the
edge Lois had her baby with her
and it was receiving qnite as much
attention as Polly at the moment |
saw it. It was sitting UP very straight
in its nurses arms and looking awfully
cute. It's a pleasure to see how happy
so many Of the war brides look now
that their husbands are home and they
are beginning to settle down. Lois
married Jack before he went over, you
know.
All Mrs. Thayer's sisters and sisters
In law were receiving with her, with
the exception Of Mrs. Sydney Thayer
who is in mourning for Emilys hus
band, Boulton Dixon, who was killed in
France. .-e-
TINE girls looked awfully sweet at
i the Lieber tea. Edith, who is quite
dark, wore white satin gown and
georgette crepe frock, and Sarah Har-
rison was also in white. Sarah is
fairer than Edith. She has rather light
brown hair and dark eyes. They GER
tainly did look darling. Mrs. Lieber
wore beautiful gown of a peculiar
shade of blue and silver brocade veiled
in chiffon. The color was not exactly
turquoise blue, nor was it a darker
blue, it was what you might call the
color Of blue jays wings. She looked
very smart thought.
Mrs. Harrison, Sarah's mother, had
very pretty dress of pale pink
georgette embroidered in white beads,
and Mrs. Newlin, VINO is still wearing
mourning for Jack, her son, who you
remember was killed two years ago in
France, had on a handsome gown OF
gray gcorgette trimmed with black
satin.
By the time I had taken in both those
teas was certainly ready to SO home
though did enjoy the teas and 1t was
not warm as it was at the Coxes and
Davises on Friday afternoon.
FNHERE were not quite so many o
i the riding set at the teas as usua
because of the steeplechase meet which
the Ralph Beaver Strassburgers hat
over at their place, Normandy Farm
in Penllyn. The world and his wife
were there with their horses and thu
races were certainly wildly exciting
from ali I heard of them. The Robert
Montgomerys, John Valentines, Robert
Strawbridges, most of the people OF
the Reading line, the Fells, Devereuxs
Cadwaladers, Biddles, and many Others
were all there. I'm glad it did not rair
as it at first threatened to.

l. Paul Denckla Mills today, and ever,
one who's who on the Main Line from
Overlook to Newtown Square is there
for on Friday will begin the drive TO
the Bryn Mawr Hospital, and larg
percentage of the representative ma
irons of this district are putting thel
shoulders to the wheel to raise $1,000
They are all optimistic and full of en-
thusiasni. The ball was started rollln,
BY the presentation of two and quar-
ter acres of land by Mrs. Samuel Nj
vauclain, and Mrs. Mills, who i

For years the need Of maternit
building. in connection with the Bry
Mawr Hospital has been felt, and unde
the supervision of these capable wome
the required sum to construct, equi
and endow this building will surely b
realized.
