Nancy lynne Hears OF the House Party GiUen by Mr..
Christopher Morris for His Young Cousns-Recep-
ton by Belgian Committee for Cardinal

WHAT a wonderful time the younger
w members Of the Morris family had
up at Mr.. Christopher Morris's camp,
Squam Lake, New Hampshire. There
were about twenty of the cousins up
there and they stayed two weeks. The
camp is just on the edge of the lake
and they have three canoes, two sail
boatssand three motor boats, so just
imagine what splendid time they had
on the water and in it too for that
matter, as there was gorgeous swim
ming. Then toouMr. Morris has tennis
courts on his grounds.
As there are about ntepn MOrriscs of
all sizes and ages they can have regular
parties any time they choose to get
together, without calling in anyone
from outside. Mr.. and Mrs. Reginald
Morris of Wake Robin (isn't that
darling name for a place?) were in the
party and so were Ottilie, Priscilla and
Lydia Lewis Morris, the three daugh-
ters of Mrs. Alfred Paul Morris, who
was Miss Mildred VAIN, Marjorie Paul
Morris and her brother Hollie Morris,
Christopher Morris, ,Jr., Ellenor Morris,
Sydney Morris, Dorothea Morris Baird,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Baird
Mrs. Baird was Miss Dorothea Nor
ris), Kenton Eisenbrey, Jr., Edwards
Kneass and Mr.. Sam DIifflin.
The whole party returned the early
part of the week looking the picture
of health. Mr.. Morris has q way of
giving house parties and motor trips to
his young cousins. They are simply
great affairs and the boys and girls
just love to go for they have the time
Of their young lives.
EVERYTHING is in readiness for
IL the reception to be given this att
ernoon at the Belgian committee head
quarters Of the Emergency AID Tor
Cardinal Mercier. Mrs. Bayard Henry
has had the front of the house all
cleaned up, so that the white marble
shines like a palace and there are Bel.
gian flags and flowers and wonderful
decorations.
Mrs. Henry is chairman of the Bel
gian relief committee of the Emergency
Aid and has done splendid work
throughout the war. She has received
a special medal from the king ana
queen of the Belgians in recognition ot
the work she did for their country.
The members of the Belgian com
m;ttee and executives of the Emergency
Aid will receive the cardinal.
These are wonderful days we, live IN.
Two weeks ago we were greeting Gen :
eral Pershing, today we greet the great
cardinal of the war, and in week or
two the Belgian king and queen VIII be
here, and later again Albert Edward
Prince of Wales.
ISN'T it funny that there aren more
i winter hats on the streets: There
are a good many, but usually by lhis
time of year there are more winter thah
summer ones, and it's not so thlS
wear. But, there are some. and among
the some is very peppy black VelVet
tam which I saw the other day on
the red brown hair of Barbara boyd.
Barbara locked very well in it and
the long tan redingote with a deep
shawl collar, that she wore. Her SIS
ter, Lysbeth. has an attractive VelVc'
hat, too. 1t has crown ike man
soft hat, with a dent in the top and a
soft brim that turns up bPcomlngIy just
a little bit on one side.
VOU see she has only lately been ilV'
i ing in the city and in the country
she had never seen little children of
different complexion from her cwn. Sc
YOU cannot wonder that when she was
out walking with her mother the Other
day she stopped and ga2ed long and
wonderingly at a small infant in
coach, which was of rich chocolate
hue. Finally having gazed her fill she
locked up into her mothers face and
remarked: Mamma, is that spoiled
child?"
