Nancy lynne Talks of Doings the Deuon Sho Yesterday
Plans OF Rainbo,u Fete Are Told-T,Uo Debutantes
to Be Introduced in ViIlanoua

WASN'T it impressive at the Horse Show
w yesterday, when all activities weie sus-
pended at noon and the bands played the
'Star Spangled Banner" and the people
stood in silence with barred heads in memory
Of the dead who fell not only in this past
terrible war, but in the Civil and Spanish
American wars, too?
And in town. all day one mind was con-
tinually returning to the thought OF those
whose lives had been sacrificed for their
country, by the numerous parades and trips
to the adjacent cemeteries made by the men
in blue and the boys in knaki. How glad
we should be that it is all over!
DOESN'T time fly? Here next Tuesday
~ will be the Rainbow Fete out at Aping
ton which ] have heard SO much about ana
which has really assumed wonderful pro-
portions.
It's for the Arlington Hospital, you know,
which Mr.. George Elkins built some years
ago in memory of his first wife. Every year
the women interested in the hospital give one
big affair for it. and il this years party Is
anything like last summers it will be some
success ~
It's all to have a military air, you know,
and all the women who are to have pooths
and be connected with 1t are going to wear
the disc of the Rainbow Division on their
arms. "h e. s.
Some one asked me why those in charge
of the fete had not called it after the Iron
Division, but understand it was decided to
make it the Rainbow as that was the first
over and had Representatives from every
state in the Union. Pretty good, that, don't
you think? ~, ~. -.
must say the fashion show does interest
me immensely. for they are to have wonder
full clothes. This is not rummagc clothes,
but honest to goodness new costumes which
are simply lovely. and they are to be auc-
toned off in the evening after dinner before
the room is cleared for dancing. They have
been sent by the leading dressmakers and
mlliners.
There's to be a real doughboy at the kid
dies playground, and he is going to teach the
children how to throw hand grenadcs. But
don't worry, they won't be real ones, nor
will they even look like them but the throw
ing is splendid exercise for the little ones
when properly DONE. and you know how
they'll love that doughboy, don't you?
Pretty Mrs. Walter Hopkinson, who will
be dressed in black Spanish lace, will aye
fortune telling booth, and she's rtsy'
quite 'wiz'' at that, you know.
Mrs. George Elkns will have the most
wonderful flowers and Mrs. George Elkins,
Jr., has the supper dance in her care. She
will be assisted by Mrs. Robert Sewell, Mrs.
Clayton Ingraham. Mrs. Martin Fetterolf,
Mrs. Sydney Martin, Mrs. Joseph Haines,
Jr, and Mrs. Floyd Keen.
Really. can't tell you all the things they
are going to have and do You'll just have
to go out and see for yourself how scrump-
tious it is. (Do you know, don't know
whether scrumptious is spelled right or not,
but we'll let it go at that; you know what
mean.)
A RENT the debutante affairs coming on
:, "A. fast and furious? Hope Wilson's tea
cards are out now. She is to be introduced
on Saturday afternoon, June 21, out at
villanova. Hope is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Alan d. Wilson. Her mother was Miss
Helen Cooley, you know, and her grand
mother, Mrs. Harry Cooley, was Miss Nam
mic McAiichael. Hope is very much liked by
the younger set She has been at school this
year, but has been going to the dancing
classes when the holidays were here. There

Of her friends receive with her.

depburnS live at NlllanOVa, 100. Marie mas
a sister Jane, who is also great favorite,
but she is year or more younger and has
some time to wait before being presented.
Mrs. Hepburn was Miss Jane Shaw.
NANNY is starting early, you will agree
- with me. The other day he was con-
tentedy smoking long rusty nail and grand
mother thought it advisable to stop him in
his mad career before it grew too late. For
Danny, be it known, is three years old now.
So she said, II wouldn't put that old nail
in my mouth, darling" Danny said nothing,
but lolled back in his wee rocking chair aud
smoked the nail plscidly. Then grandma
tried again. mice little boys" said she,
!. don't smoke.
ANNA, said the small cherub, Il want
to 'moke and got to do it." When last
seen he was still putting away.
