Emory is a very sweet girl, as some
one seems to have found out, early,
for do you remember last week I limited
that bud who would make her bow
soon would announce, or rather her
parents, would announce her engage
mcnt the same day.
Well. this is the one, and she is en-
gagged to Robert Perry, of Germantown,
and it's a mighty nice match, too. They
are both awfully popular young people.

NJ. Kennedy, Mrs. Frederick p. Ken
nedy, Mrs. Wellington Shannon, Mrs.
Russell Jones, Mrs. Richard Il. Matti-

by the way. slowly but surely mounting
up. The Arcadia will present all its
luncheon proceeds to the committee col :
lecting for the fund and the hltz Carl :

ceeds this, evening. l think quite sum
should be the result, don't you, Tor the
two places are certainly popular?
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, entertained AT
the Arcadia today. and so did Mrs. A.
]. Dallas Dixon and several others,
CERTAINLY the clans are uniting in

She is tall. you know, and has fan
curly hair and the most attractive fea
tures-so piquant. She was wearing
an old rose frock of embroidered ant
plain georgette and a wide satin ribboi
encircied her waist. 1t was most be

clothes so well. 1t must be JOY t,
have daughter who looks so wei
groomed and smart upon all occasions
\ T TITLE son is just about four years
IL old, and when mother, short time
ago developed a slight case of the grin
he was very much concerned. de wen
about the house on "tippy toe an'
every five minutes would inquire ear
nestly:
Don't you feel a little better
Mother?'
One afternoon when Mother was con
valescing and really and truly feelinnj
much stronger Daddy suggested a wall
to his small son. Well, it happened
that on the way they stopped for a few
minutes at friends house and ina
friend inquired:
''How is mother?"
With a grave, self important LITTLE

better now" NANCY WANNE'
