WbLb, every one VINO couiu hdnaBe
w to do SO has gone to Newport this
week for the Horse Show which opened
yesterday. Now the Horse Show in
Newport is certainly sight worth seeing,
whether one goes to see the horses, the
riders, the judges or the women's
clothes. ! know have nearly lost an
eye there myself trying to decide which
of the attractions to watch. For, be-
lieve me, they are many!
And it's such q tiny oval and the
classes are so big, some of them, that
it takes long time to show them all.
And then the boxes and the women
in wonderful gowns and huge hats and
soft lacy wells. Mrs. Bob Cassatt Is
one of those who usually affects white
lace veil and it's awfully becoming to
her, 1 think. Minnie Fell Cassatt is
one Of the daintiest Of women and
dresses with great deal Of taste. An
other lovely Philadelphia woman who
wears a white lace veil on dressy occa-
sions Is Mrs. Bob Montgomery, but Mrs.
Montgomery is not ut Newport now. She
went up earlier in the season to stay
with the Paul Denckla Millses, and is
back at her home in Villanova.
Mrs. Joe Widener usually wears a
lace veil, too. She was at the show yes
terday and Fiji was with her. Fifi is not
so petite and exquisite as her mother,
but she is mighty attractive in her own
way. It's good that there are very few
doubles of any Of lis in the world. II
there were it would grow terribly mo-
notonous, don't you think?
Mrs. William Disston went up to
Newport this week to be with Pauline
wanamaker who has had an attack Of
appendicitis, so l suppose neither OF
them will go to the show unless Pauline
is much better. Mrs. Disston has been
a Horse Show spectator in Newport FOR
several seasons, however. and perhaps
she'll get there, as the latest bulletins
of Pauline are that she is much better.
r HEARD yesterday that Frances
i Clark, who has been over in London
at the Eagle Hut under the auspices
OF the "Y,' has left for home, and, in
fact, is at present on the ocean. Every
day or so we hear of the return Of one
or another of the girls who have been
overseas since the armistice, working
with the boys in France or England.
Frances Clark went over at the same
time as Rachel Baker, who is home once
more. Betty Elliot and Agnes Irwin.
Betty and Agnes are still in Brest, from
the latest word / know of them, but
suppose they will be coming any day
now.
Frances Clark is the daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Davis Clark. OF this
city. She is a sister of Bertha Clark
and Charles F. Clark is brother. They
live at 2215 Spruce street in the winter
and in summer are in Bryn Mawr.
no YOU know 1 can scarcely realize
- that in three days we will be going
into the first fall month and that every
one will be coming home in a week or
two or perhaps three.
At any rate, before the Bryn Mawr
Horse Show, which will be held the
second week in October, every one will
be back with winter war paint on ready
for the fray.
The first party of any size will be
that given by the Benjamin Rushes for
their son, Richard Stockton Rush. 1t
will not be very large, but there will be
about 100 guests, all of them from the
school set. But the coming out parties
with the exception of a few teas, won
start till October, at any rate.
EVERYBODY loves lover. and the
IL girl in the telegraph office was
therefore much interested, as will be
seen by the story / have to tell.
can't tell you who the principals were
in the tale because that would be saying
too much, but l can say that they are
very happily married now and were
married before he went overseas. But
then no one knew how he did his court
ing nor how it was they decided SO
quickly to be married before he left. IT
was this way. Wen call the girl Polly
Well, .Polly's mother was at home one
morning at her country house, when the
telephone rang violently and she
went to it to hear that there was a
telegram for Polly. AS Polly was out
she told the operator to dictate it to her.
It was: ''Sail for France Saturday
Will you marry me before 1 go! An
swer prepaid. Jack
Mother knew what Polly would say
she thought, for Polly had looked rather
large eyed and thoughtful for number
Of days of late, and Mother being wise
mother and one who had fallen in love
with Polly's father in the days of the
Spanish War, smiled to herself, but tc
the operator she remarked: MY daugh
ter is not at home now, but she viii
be back about noon. / think I'll have
to let her answer for herself" Oh
said the voice, i'll a disappointed tone
Cant you let him know right awayE
Mother laughed. Just as soon as She
comes in, she'll answer" "Well, er-
Mrs D would YOU
ask her to ask for No. 93 when sh'
sends her answer?
And when daughter came In she mus
have said eyes" because they wer'
married three days before he sailed. Ant
yes. she did call for 9S and give her tn
answer to send.
