you like It, too? And the latest idea
which had been carried out through
the summer and early fall, that of wear
ing scarf of tulle to match your frock,
is one Of the most becoming fashions
ever started. / saw Miss Juliana
Wood on Broad street the other day
wearing a dark blue crepe dc chine
gown and small hat with a blue tulle
scarf
Gertrude Heckscher, at the cardinals
official visit to the Belgian relief on
Friday, had dark blue tulle scarf
around her neck, and it certainly was
becoming to her. l do think she is so
good looking. Mrs. Russell Duane,
who has just returned from the West,
wore black scarf. too. i
SPEAKING of Mrs. Duane, she and
~ her husband are out at Idlewild
until their house in town is ready for
them. There are quite number of
Philadelphians still out there. Mrs.
Henry Rowland and John are staying
there before moving into town. and so
is Mr.. Sussex Davis, Of the Lunch Club
fame. Mr. Davis, by the way, is a
noted wit. Most of his friends love to
tell of his retort to a New York woman,
who asked him If he ever came to town.
Occasionally leave the city. madam,
and 60 to town"
The Ned Robins, who were at Idle
wild, have moved into their attractive
house on Carlisle street. l hear, by the
way, that several other members of the
aiol
there and are doing them over. 1t will
soon be another ''Pomander Walk
A s TO renovating small houses, have
"A you heard of the unique thing that
Teddy Gilchrist is doing? He has
bought house on Latimer street be-
tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth, and
is Transforming it into an architectural
studio, whatever that may be. As he
is the Woodward estate architect, the
place is likely to be most attractive.
T NEVER hear of a small house like
l. that, that I do not think of bride
/ once visited there. She has been
married now about ten years and has
quite a family. But then she had taken
one of these small street houses which
had six rooms altogether and if you'll
believe me, she had exactly seven maids.
And every room l went into = fell over
one. Two served us with tea and choc-
olate cake and one ran to the door to
pay for laundry and I'll never forget it.
1t was all I could do to get out without
screaming. Whatever made her do it do
you suppose?
THE polo at the Country Club on
L Saturday afternoon was even more
colorful and crowded than the week be-
fore. There was only standing room
left and people were pushing in every
where to get view. The game was ex-
citing; several men were thrown, and
one of the riders nearly went off with
the goal post.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Dubarry were there,
Ella looking very smart in blue tri-
corned hat, blue dress with a square
cut white collar. and black suede shoes.
Christine and Katherine Chambers were
together. Christine had on an original
little toaue with circular arrangement
of fat features on the crown, and she
wore taupe- colored cape with it.
Katherine was dressed in blue. They
are both very talented and popular
girls.
Mrs. Orville Bullitt, who, you remem
Der, was Susie Ingersoll, looked partic-
ularly lovely. She had on white straw
hat and long white cape over a white
dress. You can imagine how stunning
such a costume would be with her fair
skin and blond hair.
Margaret R>bins had on a very in
teresting black toque and n black suit
with little white thread running
through it. She was abroad nursing
during the war, part of the time in
France and then afterward in the Bal
kans, you remember.
ND you know that the Herbert
~ Aloyds are home again at Bod
l.lyd, their Bryn Mawr home? They
have been in Europe for several months.
Mr.. Lloyd had to go over on business
and Mrs. Lloyd went along and while
he went to the continent she stayed
with her sister in London. Mrs. Lloyd
was Miss Dorothy Ford, you remember,
and her sister married an Englishman.
THE Van Speke Alstons are still in
i this country, but expect to return
to England next month, / hear. Mrs.
Alston was Miss Anne Chew, a sister
Of the lete Samuel Chew, the instruc-
tions in whose will have caused so
much conjecture in regard to the dispo-
sition of the old Chew house in Ger
mantown.
Mr.. and Mrs Aston came over here
in the spring to visit Mrs. Aston IS
mother and family, and it was during
their visit that Mr.. Chew died. 1t must
have been a comfort to the members OF
the family to have Mrs. Aston here,
instead Of on the other side of the
water. The ocean is mighty wide when
sorrow comes into a family and one
member is on the other side.
DATRICIA'S married now, so ! can
i tell this without worrying or an
noying her in the least. Some years ago
there was student at one Of the large
colleges (Yale, Harvard, Princeton,
Cornell, take your choice), some dis
tance away from here, who thought
very highly of her. So highly, in fact,
that her name was continually in his
conversation, her picture in his room
and herself in his thoughts. He grad
uated and entirely recovered, SO much
so as to become engaged to most at
tractive girl from the far West.
And this year Patricia's kid brother
is starting in at that self same college.
And, by singular coincidence, the
only room he could find anywhere is
