7 HEARD the most splendid accounts OF
L Anne Ashton yesterday. She graduated
from Miss Shipley's On Wednesday, ana
though she had been i'll and therefore un-
able to take the final examinations, 1t was
decided that she should be given her
diploma, as her high average through Tue
entire year warranted such decision.
This was especially fine as she has been
doing very good work with her VIOLIN TOO,
and has been taking in quite few oil 'he
social doings as well. She is to go back 10
school next year to specialize in several
branches, for she is too young to make her
debut and her parents, DIR. and Mrs. Thomas
G.. Ashton, have wisely decided on TINS
course. Anne is exceedingly pretty, with
very beautiful fair hair, large blue eyes ana
long lashes. She is tall and slender and her
complexion is one that any color can be worn
with / saw her at dancing class one night
In vivid green taffeta frock with
high rolled collar up about her neck ana no
white between the green and her face, ana
she looked SO pretty. It's gift to have
coloring like that!
T TOLD you that the E. A. As are to be
mustered out on Wednesday, didn't L!
Well. now I hear that the National League
Aides are to be mustered out on Sunday
and the Motor Messengers of the lied Cross
on June 9. There are to be parties anu
speechifying on both occasions.
But have further news in regard to the
Red Cross Motor Corps. What do you
think they are going to do? Muster out on
Monday and after a couple of days have
elapsed they are going to start up their
loved old organization, 1.-THE Motor Mes
sengers," and the members will be able 10
re- enlist in the old service. -
They will wear uniforms as before, put
the Red Cross will no longer appear on
their caps and buttons. They will be once
again an independent organization. lheS
will not 60 back to hard work till the summer
Is over, then a meeting will be called ana
the Motor Messengers will be useful Or
ganization of the future. AS these organiza
tions muster out for war work, one cannot
help but praise most highly the work they
did. The Motor Messengers were simply
marvellous in their untiring work on their
appointed days, and did not little to ex-
pedite many undertakings in connection with
the governments work Both the Finer
gency Aid and the National League found
their aides invaluable when it came to hard
work. though as | have said before, every
one is glad that the time has come to go
back to normal things as far as possible.
DY THE WAY, talking about going back
- to normal things, have you heard as
much as l have about unhappiness among
some of the young couples who married IN
haste before the men left for war? 1T Is
4 sproblem but it seems to me an awful pity
that some of the older and wiser people
should not stop talking about it.
Everywhere one goes there's gossip about
this one and that one, and if takers would
only allow the poor young people few
months to get used to changed conditions, If
those most concerned will only make up their
minds that it's for better or worse and stop
making the worse into mountain, when, in
reality, it's only tiny molehill in the be-
ginning, things will straighten out.
It's the gossips in this world who make
most of the trouble and start most of said
trouble. Only the other day l. was told !:
"Isn't it awful? You know B. Re
member she was married to So and-S just
a few days before he sailed for France
and had only known him month. Well, L
saw them at party the other night and
he had had too much wine. Now, isn't
that awful?'' When / got through with
that scandalmonger l think she had changed
her mind bit, or at least had decided to
bride her tongue a little.
Because a young man who has gone
through "hades'' over there, and has gone
without any wine for the greater part of
the time he was in the army, makes mis-
take and takes a glass of wine, which ordi-
narily would not have affected him at all,
and does feel it and unfortunately shows that
he feels it, the gossips are there to go out
and talk about it and he, who is really a
studious, sensible fine fellow, goes down in
their books as a drunkard.
Just give them a little time, gossips, won't
you, and let them have chance, and per
haps we won't hear of all these threatened
divorces and unhappinesses, because two peo
pie who have been living very opposite
lives require little time to get adjusted
to thinking for two instead of one.
THE Horse Show yesterday was just as
i exciting as the first day. Just crowds OF
people and ever so much gayety and happi-
ness all round. / should think the women
In the rummage sale would be about dead
and the cafeteria, too just going hard from
a. m. to p. m. And, really, with the din
! ners and dancing it's g. m. before many OF
them get home.
as It's perfect to hear the remarks: One
perfectly sweet Gainty little girl in the
pink and white costume of an aide ap-
preached dignifed gentleman yesterday
and remarked: ''Oh, how do you do, Mr.,
-; don't you want chance on a pigY
To say that her vis-avis was surprised
and panied would hardly express it. He
lived in an apartment without even win
dow box, SO where on earth could he put
pig, should he be so wild as, to chance it
However, he overcame his surprise and took
a chance instead on the diamond and gold
wrist watch, which was beauty.
Altogether, the atmosphere out there Is
SO different from that of the last Horse
Shows when the war was still on that it's
like going into a different world.
