vLTELL, as friend of mine often re-
NV marks, Sim just here to state,'
it's hot. Not that I'm surprised, be-
cause after all that rain we had to
have some hot sunshine some time to
make up for it. And being one of these
Kismet people when it comes to
weather, my heroic cry is Eventually,
why not now?"
Nevertheless. I reserve the right to
remark in no uncertain accents that
this is hot weather, and IL you care to
mistake the "H'' for an "N," why go
as far as you like. But don't let this
little prelude make you think that I'm
discussing the weather because l
haven't anything else to discuss-oh,
not at all.
AM so glad to hear that Mrs. John
w. Converse is better. Did you
know that she had been in the hos
pital with appendicitis? She expects
to get home this week. Her husband,
overseas about six weeks ago. They
were married, you remember, rather
suddenly, as so many people were at
that time, just before Captain Con-
verse went overseas in June of 1918.
Mrs. Converse was Mrs. G. Ran
dolph Snowden. and before that she
was Miss Bertha Churchman. Her
mother. Mrs. William B. Churchman,
who has been down at Atlantic City
with Mrs. Alexander Brinton Coke, is
with her now. Her two children, kath =
crime Snowden and G. Randolph Snow
den. Jr., are both in camp for the
summer.
MIR. AND Mrs. George r. Packard,
1Vl of Wayne, are leaving today for
their camp on Upper Saranac Lake.
The place is called Camp in the way
which is a fascinating name, l think:
Don't people have the strangest ana
most uhhuman names for their places
and summer places and camps: ooihe
of them are plain impossibie, others >
are silly, and I have heard a few tha'
are so sissy that if | were gong
there, I should undoubtedly get nope =
lcssly lost or spend the night out IN the
highway rather than ask the direction
using the foolish name of the place.
But Camp in the Way sounds
attractive. And the Packards are go
ing to make the most of it, too. Ihey
are going to stay six weeks, and nave
as far ms 7 can see, q continuous house
party with different people every once III
while.
Their son in law and daughter, Dr.
and Mrs. Arthur Billings, are gong ul
with them-she was Mary Packard
YOU know - and Katherine Lea
daughter of the Charles NJ. Leas, and
Betty Trotter-she is the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. William H. Trotter, OF
Chestnut Hill, who are at kennebunk
mort. Me-, and Elizabeth Packard was
visiting there for time while Betty
was there-and Mary B. Thayer
daughter of the George c. Thayers, o.
yillanoya, who are in the Poconos, and
let, me see, l guess that's all. bu
Elizabeth McNIichael is going up later
They always have a crowd up there
and they do have such marvellous times
Lucille Carter and Ruth Hobart were
among the girls who went up last year
l remember, and 1 believe Katherine
Lea was there, too.
T1HIS is tennis week down at Cape
l. May: so / guess there will be a
good deal going on down there. l thinl
there's golf tournament on, too
Phyllis Walsh is going down. or ha'
gone. by this time. She's going tt
stay with Catharine Cassard. =.
By, the way, saw Catharine IL
town one day last week. She wa
coming up Chestnut street, in mos
attractive black silk dress with whit
lace vest. and an unusual looking blu'
link chain. In fact, the chain was 81
good looking that I missed her hat
which was rather wide brimmed. ant
straw, but if you should stand me VI
against a stone wall and demand th'
color of that hat and the way it wa
trimmed. or my life, it would have tt
be my young life-because as sa
that blue thing was pretty.
