- thlnlV going on Hpdce, is III HOt ! Auu
Philadelphia is certainly well repre-
sented. Mrs. Travis Coke is there.
staying with her mother in law, Mrs.
Larry Paul You know Mrs. Paul was
Mrs. Marcellus Coke and Travis was
her only son.
Young Travis Coke. who was n
nephew of those fine old gentlemen who
figured so long in the social and bust
ness world of this city. but who are all
gone now-Mr. Travis Cochran, Mr..
William Cochran and Mr.. George
Cochran-studied at Princeton and then
prepared for the diplomatic service. 1t
was while he was in Cuba at the Ameri
can Legation that he met his wife. who
was Miss Mercedes Mederosy Cabanos.
She is wonderful looking girl and has
made many friends here during her
various stays in this city. Travis Coke
is secretary of the American Lcga-
ton in one of the Central American
countries. Mrs. Paul gave a luncheon
on Friday at her villa in Newport in
honor of Mrs. Coke.
Mrs. Joe Widener gave dinner up
there last night and Mrs. Howard
Spencer Graham gave tea on Friday
afternoon. That's not a bad showing
for the Philadelphia colony, is 1t!
T HEAR that Edith Newlin is going
lNup this week in fact. I think Vt Is
today, to Watch Hill to stay with Mary
Griscom at the Griscom home there
1t will be a comfort to Mary'"no doubt
to have her there with her; she must
miss her mother so much.
There are some people who arc so full
of ..fe and energy that it seems almost
,.nossible to realize that death has
claimed them. Mrs. Rodman Griscom'
Mary's mother. was so active worker
= in so many things. it does seem hard 70
believe that she has gone to her reward
Mary was to have come out next sea :
son, but now, of course, she will not
do so.
Edith Newlin will make her debut al
a tea to be given by her mother
cousin, Mrs William Lieber, in BISn
Mawr next fall.
HONESTLY, it's as much as YOU
i Il life's worth to get away this year
isn't it? There's scarcely place where
you can get reservations for the sum
mer. I heard the other day OF peo
pie who had engaged their rooms FOL
this summer up in the Adirondacks al
far back as February.
Does it seem to you that the world il
more full of people seeking vacation ol
is it because so many stayed home las
year and the year before while tn
war was still on, and now that peace i
signed have decided to take a mucl
needed rest? l guess that's it, TO
really very few went away last yea
compared with most summers, but thl
season it's something fierce, every plac
is taken.
ISN'T Eugenia Cassatt having won
L derful time on her short vacation
You know, she is taking a three yea
course in trained nursing at the Pres
byterian Hospital here in town and ha
dropped out of great deal in the wa
of parties and good times in the &C
cepted meaning of the word.
She is on her vacation now and wee
before last Mrs. Gardner Cassatt, he
mother, gave a dinner dance for he
and she had tennis tournament an
has been going to everything doing i
the way of good times while she

She was at Miss Lou Rawle's part
last week and at the Alex Iarnall'
small dinner dance and at the luncheo
and tennis party Mrs. Billie Clothit
gave on Friday out at the Clothier farl
in Phoenixyille
OF COURSE she was not so KILN
