Ismean Va, not Nd. Well, be that it
may she was of the students at the
first Chevy Chase camp. Do you remem-
ber that camp about four springs ago. when
Marian Sharpless lgood night, she's Marian
Butler now and Betty fAliot and Rather
inc Field and Sophie Bspham and lots Of
other girls from here, went down to Chevy
Chase and drilled and did all kinds of stunts
on time and went to bed at o p. NJ. and
rose at g G. m. and had.a perfectly great
time.
Isabel has had lot of experience in
tertaining, she has gone to girls camps as
n counsellor for several summers and that
is some training believe Nancy, She is
altogether perfectly charming girl and
there is need of just those kind of girls
who are healthy. and sensible; and with
understanding minds, over there.
Y 1NALK about restricted vocabulary. My
Il dcars | hied me to the circus the other
night when everybody else in Philadelphia
went too. and AS | was passing the ele-
phants, one of the pachyderms don't you
like that threw back its trunk and opened
its funny mouth for peanuts. Of course
everyone threw peanuts to it and then came
the joy of the evening. As | stood there,
! saw two persons approaching. She was
hanging on His arm and they were having
wonderful time. Then they came to the
elephant, whose queer mouth was still wide
open and who weighed at least ten ton.
And She gurged to He Isn't he sweet!'
