Nancy lynne Sees Mrs. Wilson's HatIncidenal, She Sees
. s., the Prcsdent-NeUs OF the Anthony.ClWke
VA Wedding Yesterday in Palm Beach

1ITELL, I saw the President yesterday,
w standing on Chestnut street. L r1ean
was, not tho President; only he really
was, because he stood up in the car as 1t
travelled down Chestnut street or course
I yelled, and he waved his hat at me and
everything. and I was thrilled But be-
tween you and me and the end Of this
paragraph, the thing that thrilled me very
much indeed was the fact that Mrs. Will
son (who didn't stand up. but she was
there Just the same) had on that hat, that
much.talked.of hat that "eveque" hat. It's
been called every color in the rainbow, and
now they've discovered one that isn't In
the rainbow-and said hat Is worthy oil
all this talk, too, take it from one who has
seen. It's made all of feathers-ostrich,
I'd say-and tho color is sort Of deep pur-
plish ma agenta, If you get me- Anyhow, it's
very good-looking, and she had on black
i and white cloak.
TT WAS wonderful to hear all about Wini'
l. fred Clarkes wedding down in Palm
Beach. You know it took place in the
Episcopal Church down there and the Rev.
Charles Temple performed the ceremony.
Emil Anthony, brother of Roscoe, who,
by the way, was the happy man in the case,
was the best man. The four Anthony men
are sons OF the late Major James Rembert
Anthony, of Georgia The other two
brothers, Augustus and Rembert were
ushers The three Clarke girls - Agnes,
Louise and Beatricc-were bridesmaids, as
we'll as Isabel Beckurts, Margaret Tenney
and Marian Toulmin. Small Katherine
Clarke was a flower girl 1t was really
awfully pretty, from the word had before
the happening. The church decorations
were pink and white and tho bridesmaids
frocks were Of palest pastel shades. Wini-
fred must have looked lovely, for she is
extremely good.lcoking and carries herself
so we'll.
Phillips Clarke, who is Winifreds brother~
and John s. Clarke. Jr., {. cousin, were
ushers together with Captain Samuel Fell
ton, Jr Of Chicago; Elliot Dunwoodie, OF
Macon, Ga, and Jerome Wideman, of Palm
Beach.
The bride and bridegroom have taken a
house in Haverford and will be there after
the 1st of June. They intend TO take quite
good length wedding trip.
T HEAR that Major Henry Norris, U. S.
l. A., is expected to arrive today in New
York on the Mongolia. He has been over
seas for about eighteen months, and don't
you know he'll be glad to step off that ship
on to American soil? He is going to visit
Mrs. Charles Wheeler, of Pembroke Bryn
Mawr, for some time before going South
with Mrs. Norris to Rutherfordton, n. c.
Mrs. Norris, you know, was Miss Ethel
Wheeler. Mrs. Wheeler has been visiting
her, and then Mrs. Norris came back with
her.
r. WONDER If there Is anything more
tragic as a situation thar this? To be
Smooth -as.greased-lghtnins" dancer, to
have an invitation from the Onlygrl to
accompany her to a large and wonderful
affair in which she is to take part and after
which there is to be dancinr' tc marvel
GUS orchestra, and to discover that it's the
day before payday and the tickets are way
beyond your widest dreams, and that She
has no complimentary" for escort" How
ever, everything tragic has some kind of
a way out, II you just know which direc-
ton to look for it. So, the quick-thlnking
young person who found himself in this
mess recently got busy with Friend Brain
and together they found the way Know
ing the Onygirl pretty well, he could ex
plain things frankly, and so when they
started out in the taxi she was already in
her costume for the stunts before the
dance.
Hurrying up to the stage door she started
in and stopped at the question of the door.
man. "Oh, dear" she exclaimed, II haven't
got my ticket" But, seeing her costume,
, heopened the door and she trotted on in.
About Ave minutes later a young man
strolled nonchalantly up to the door.
paused to take last pun Of very good
cigarette before throwing 1t away, fished
around in his pockets, brought out ticket
marked conspicuously stage entrance"
handed it over to the man and walked, still
nonchalantly, into the hall. And later you
might have seen him. still nonchalantly
but very blissfully, going straight to
heaven with the onlygirD to the mingled
tunes of a marvellous orchestra, and the
two twenty-fvecent pieces left in his
lonely pocket. NANCY WYNNE.
