uAVE you noticed the absolute rage
L L there is for trips to Japan this
year? OF course. it is not vet possible
TO 90 about easily in Europe, and so
those who want to travel are going the
other way. The Gardner Cassatts,
Harry Vain Harrisons and Duanes,
who have all been out there and come
back, have wonderful stories to tell of
the beauties of that honorable y coun-
try. ....
Now the latest ones to 60 out there,
] understand, are the Gray Daytons.
Mrs. Dayton was Miss Mary Wurts,
you remember. and has been married
about three years. She is one Of the
most popular of the younger matrons in
town, in fact she is so young looking
1t almost seems a joke to call her a
matrop, The Fenno HoffmHns have
been home from their Japqn trip about
three weeks. Fenno married Marie
Wright, you remember, the younger
daughter of the Harrison Wrights, of
Bala,s and sister of Sibyl Wright,
who married Osgood Coates.
The, Ned Brownings and Ted their
son are in Japan now. And I under
stand that Mrs. Roy Morris and her
children have gone back to Japan from
California, where they spent a couple
of months. Ambassador Morris had to
be away great deal of the time and
the climate was pretty trying for Mrs
Morris. so when her sister in law, Mrs.
Russell Duane, who had been visiting
her. came back to the states, she crossed
the Pacif" with her.
THAT certainly was an exciting polo
L game out at the Country Club last
Saturday between Rockaway and Mead
owbrook. Rockaway won in spite of
Devereux Milburn and his wonderful
pony, which is supposed to be the finest
pony in the world.
The world and his wife were there.
They filled the boxes, the grand stand,
the admission seats, the Country Club
lawn and five happy youngsters viewed
the game from a tree. There was
goodly sprinkling of debutantes.
Mrs. Sam Carpenter and her daughter
Edith were sitting in a box together.
Mrs. Carpenter was very smart in
blue serge dress and black hat trimmed
with ostrich feathers round the brim.
Edith wore straw hat trimmed with
pink and blue flowers. with one or two
black eyed susans tucked in for color,
and a very thin navy blue sweater over
her white waist and skirt. The dark
Shade was very becoming to her blonde
coloring and she looked fresh and girlish.
Marion Baird, who is another blonde,
Joined Mrs. Carpenter and Edith. Mar
ion had on a white dress and large
robin s-egg blue hat. There was a fiat
wreath of small pink roses round the
brim.
A MOTHER debutante was Lucy
~ Grey. who wore n plain blue suit
and a smart little black velvet toque.
1T Lucy is as popular this winter as she
was down at Cape May she ought to be
one of the most dashing bellies of the
Feason. Rachel Price, one of those war
:debutantes of two winters ago, who are
really coming out this winter. was there
with her cousin, Gwen Martin. Rachel
looked very sweet and demure in a blue
elk dress and hat. Ellen Glendinning
wore white.
MRS. ARTHUR NEwBOLD, Mar
A'& Jorie Iarnall that was, wore
large blue silk hat. and dress the
blouse of which was of blue and white
crepe, and it had an overskirt of the
same material over a blue satin skirt.
i She is the daughter of Mr.. Charlton
farnall, who built that attractive Tudor
house at the corner of Seventeenth and
II CT o. Ai
tractive musicales.
Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Rush were
a. the game, too. Mrs. Rush wore
plain but very smart little black toque
and a black dress. During the war
Mrs. Rush was the moving spirit of
Red Cross Auxiliary No. l. There
was never too mach for her to do. Her
oldest daughter, Charlotte, was a great
belle when she came out several years
ago. She married John Drayton, you
know, before he went overseas. Maize
Rush, the second daughter, is one of
the war debutantes who is really com.
ing out this year.
PHILADELPHIA women love blue
as much as ever, that's sure. 1t
was the predominating color among the
darker dresses. And certainly blonde
girls haven't gone out of existence
though somebody wrote a hign brow
~ ticle recently 10 that effect. There
were as pretty a set, of fair girls ut
arcut the debutante age aud younger
as l. ever wanS to look al.
THROUGH JIMMIE. is not seven apd
i Polly is four and a half years of
age, they are both clever poker players.
The other evening they were playing
with Father and Mother and another
lady. Each had his or her neat little
pile of chips and every now and then
Polly would pipe up, 81 call you,
mamma" or papa, or whoever the
player might be.
Well the game went very WELL but
poor Polly began losing and she lost and
lost. She was an awfully good sport
for long time, however, but finally
she could not stand it any longer and,
putting her small head down on the
table, she said to mother, who was deal
ing the cards, Don't give me any more,
mamma" why not, dear?"
And in a wee, heartbroken voice she
whispered, cause everybody wins me-"
