Nancy lynne Spends Week-End in Cape May-Most of
i, the Girls Haze Bodied Their Hair.
Mr. Myerss Hike

MY DEAIss, went down to Cape
AVA May over the week end and believe
me that sand crab hasn't told me the
half Of. the goings on down there this
season. viii you believe II when I tell
you there's scarcely a girl down there
from sixteen to twenty FIVE whose hair
is not .bobbed? Honest to goodness,
that's~the truth. And while they look
very cute on the bathing beach and in
their Sumner organdies at the Red Mill
dancing something tells me they won't
look so cute In winter and street cos
tunes. a",s.,f
It's all very we'll for Banning Grange,
for instance she's only about sixteen
and looks a peach with her hair bobbed,
but really after nineteen it's better to
put the hair up on the head than to
y trim 1t like baby sisters, don't you
think?
However, It depends on the counte-
nance that goes with the "physog, and
when think of that almost belle my
words, for I'll say I've seldom seen
as pretty a bunch of girls as there were
on the beach at the bathing hour on
Sunday, for instance.
lid you know, by the way, that Mona
- Grocer has been very i'll and has
been taken down to stay with some rel
atives in one of the Carolinas while she
recuperatss:
Her father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ned Grocer, took her, down and have
been away nearly two weeks. They ex :
pected to return today, however. flor :
ence stayed In Cape May. Mona and
Florence are very, very attractive girls
and will be even prettier when their
debutante, year comes along. Mona is
about sixteen now, and Florence is fif-
teen years old.
r EFT me see IL I CLEANED any other
IL bits while I was there. Oh, yes,
I went to the contest dance at the lied
Mill and It was won by Lysbeth BOYD
md Charlie Baird. And they certainly
did win il, too they danced beautifully
YOU'LL forgive me II say that y
i was hot on Sunday, won't you! Bu'
what do you think of Mr.. Myers taking
the boys off on a hike through historical
Philadelphia that afternoon? Well, he
did. Mr.. Albert Cook Myers, of the
Historical Society. told you before,
I think, how he. takes the men in the
service every Sunday afternoon.
I asked him yesterday where they
hiked to and he gave me most inter
esting account. They start of every
Sunday from the steps Of the Y. M. .
A. and 20 over to the community wal
camp information in City Hall and have
their pictures taken and from there dowl
they go to Independence Hall ana al
through the buildings there and then &C
Commodore Barry's statue. Then NJ
takes the men to Carpenters Hall
which is opened specially for him at thai
time. From there they 90 to Christ
Church and sit in Washington's pew
and thence to Betsy Ross's house, ant
on TO the old Quaker Meeting House Al
Fourth and Arch streets. There they
sit for about half an hour, as by thai
time every man Jack Of them is prett!
tired and, as remarked, there was SOM
heat this Sunday afternoon. While a
the meeting house the sixty four mel
who hiked this week were initiated
by Mr.. Myers In the degree Of II. H.
What on earth might that be? ques
toned this inquisitive person. well
it's this way" said Mr.. Myers. "Whel
we start out, they are Husky Heroes
AS we go along visiting the historical
places they become Historical Hikers
as they get to going round to th'
churches they become Holy Hikers, ant
by the time they've had their swim II
the Central 'Y' pool they are Hungr.
Hounds, while after they have walked
to the Ship and Tent Club and are fet
with all the good eats provided ther'
for them they become Happy Hounds
So H. H. seems to cover them all after
noon"
After they have their half hours res
they 20 on to 526 Market street, wher'
Washington lived for several years
thence to Seventh and Market, wher
Jefferson drew up, the declaration, ant
ON to the swimming pool. On the way
Mr.. Myers tells them all the historical
points of interest and makes the wall
extremely interesting. The men walk II
twos most Of the time.
This last Sunday after the swim a
the "Y," they walked over to Twenty
third and Christian streets to the ShlI
and Tent Club, where Mrs. George Is
Evans was hostess and provided som'
wonderful "eats." She had number
of young girls helping her, and Mis-
lean Grantham, who often assists II
entertaining the men at the Historical
Society, was also there. The evening
finished up with vaudeville entertain
: ment.
I wouldn't mind being an H. II. my
self. Would you?
