uAvE you seen the latest wrinkle In
IL sports paraphernalia? I've been
thinking all week what odd looking
alpine sticks or canes Mrs. Charles
Mum and Mrs. John Lawrence have
been carrying round Mt the Horse Show.
And then to my amazement | came upon
Mrs. Lawrence sticking the end of her
cane into the ground with force and
separating the top stick into the cutest
small leather seat about twelve by five
inches, and on this improvised chair she
seated herself and proceeded to watch
the jumping exhibit with the greatest
comfort.
Mrs. Bob Strawbridge has been
carrying one of the sticks, too. l sup
pose they will be the very latest thing
for out of doors affairs for time to
come.
| was SO glad to see Mrs. Alexander
Van Rensselaer, ut the Show lato on
Thursday afternoon. She's so good
looking in her dark blue serge gown
embroidered in gray wool aud she had
small black velvet hat which was
very becoming.
ALONG with all the rest Of the doings
L a there will be number of affairs for
charity and for other benefits during
the winter. OF course, one could not
and would not call the Orchestra
charity. and yet there is certainly not a
worthier cause, for our splendid musi-
cal organization must be preserved.
Well, there is 10 be n ball for the
orchestra fund at the Ritz Carlton on
October 80 and it IL going to be sort
of Halloween affair and the proceeds
are to 60 to the Orchestra. Speaking
of Mrs. Van Rensselaer, made me think
of it, you know, because both she and
Mr.. Van Rensselaer, have stood back
of the Orchestra since it's very begin :
ming and Mr.. Van Rensselaer, may be
said to be its leading patron.
DUT, gracious! What with talking
- about the Horse Show and the
Orchestra I almost forgot to say
anything about the Appleton Yea
yesterday. ] should say the Goodman
tea. After all, it's the buds day now,
isn't it? Mary Appleton looked simply
sweet and so did Polly Goodman. Mary
was in white satin and tulle, and Polly
had pinkish frock on that was simply
sweet And everyone was there. AS l
said yesterday, the Horse Show did not
make whoop of difference. AS l re-
marked before, when one has car it's
easy to cover ground, and so one goes
TO many parties one would have been
apt to forego in the days of carriages,
trains or street cars only.
THERE are great many people down
l. in White Sulphur Springs now. I
hear that Gretchen and Henriques
Pawford are there. They were mar
I'ied last Saturday in JenNntown, you
remember. That was an unusual we'd
ding, was il not?
n- Ill do,
rolored foundations. ! do not think
! ever heard of black lace being en-
ploycd in n wedding party before, but
it certainly was stunning. And very
showy. And as all OF the bridesmaids
were fair and rather large women, the
bridal party was remarkably hand
some.
Mrs. Joe Widener and Fif and Arell
are at White Sulphur Springs, and
Emily Pierson. of New York, is with
them. Fif does not make her debut
s till next year, but as there has not
been debut in the Widener family
since Mrs. Fitz- Eugene Dixon made
her bow to society, l predict some
Z entertaining for Fiji. Don't you?
Mrs. George Dallas Dixon has been
down at White Sulphur, too, and Miss
Josephine Mcclure, of this city, gave
Julia Berwind and Margaret Dunlap
are going down today, and altogether it
will be a meeting of the clans.
TNEiE teacher was sick at school the
l. other day; that is. Billie's teacher,
and so one of the big girls of the school
came from her class to hear the little
ones read. Billie, you see, happened
to have big sister in school and the
others had not seen her yet. Billie
could not read yet, but he decided to
do it, aud so he held his book up before
him and the others all prompted him.
See the cat" ''See the cat" read
Billie. THE cat can run" 1.-THE cal
can rum reiterated our hero. Then.
on the left side of him, one whose
curiosity got the better of her, said in
low tone, ''Is that your sister.
Billio?" And in loud and vibrant tones
Billie read from his book, 'Is that your
sister, Billie?''
