Doings Yesterday

n RE you going out to the polo to-
"A day? 1 guess about every n and
his wife is, don't you think SO? The
Country Club is such a beautiful spot
for such things. And the matches are
to last for two weeks, you know. These
are the championship tournaments of
the United States. All the boxes have
been taken and it sounds like a pretty
gay affair to me.
Bigger than the horse show because
It lasts so long. And it's such a
beautiful game to watch, don't you
think? Some of the box holders in
clude Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Z. Straw
bridge, John Converse, Rodman Wan
amaker, John Wanamaker, Jr., Glenn
ent Newbold, George w. Childs Drexel,
Tom Mexican, Victor Mather, and we'll
/ Just can't begin to tell you all. Suf-
fee it to say that every box has been
taken and every parking place also.
The games will be held every after
noon, and you know where the Phila-
delphia Country Club is, out in Bala,
just off the Park.
ND you hear what a time the Adolph
~ R~osengartens had this summer
They were going West, you know, to a
ranch in Montana. They had sent
their trunks ahead and were to leave
on a certain day at noon, or z O'Clock,
sometime around then, when ut y that
very morning Emily was taken very i'll.
The doctor came, pronounced it an
acute case of appendicitis and by 3 she
was operated upon.

blink, for her at any rate, and, OF
course, Mrs. Rosengarten would not
leave her, so finally Mr.. R~osengarten
and Binxy went out West, and after
Emily was well or rather able to b'
moved, she and her mother, who by thu
way, was Miss Christine Penrose, went
up to one of the Maine harbors. But
they certainly had a hard time of it
You may imagine with all their clothes
sent to Montana, how hard it was to
get others or to get those back. Alto
gether it must have been very hectic tt
say the least. They all got home last
Saturday from the north and west boil
and the last I heard was that Emily is
quite well again.
hid you ever see anything like tn
L. crowds and excitement yesterday
Really, l should think it would b.
awfully hard to come down to earth a
all after such a reception as 1.-THE maj
Of the hour" received yesterday an
had received in New York.
Wasn't it exciting? And didn't tn
Emergency Aid and Emergency All
Aides look well? ! don't see how o.
earth they managed to look so wei
pressed and have such white spats, be
cause l know some of them only go
word n day before, and most of til
suits, il not all, were away In camphor
and so were naturally mussed but
bless your heart, they looked as If the,
had lust come from the hands of tn
tailorAevery one of them. Being
Philadelphia and having been brough
up on the First City Troop and havln
had a heartache when the government
d~isbanded them during the war, whe'
1 saw those uniforms yesterday L prett
nearly blew right up. ,
I remember one Of the dearest oil
ladies in the world telling me tina
when she was a little girl she md he
sister, who was two years younger tina
she, used to climb up on either side G
the funny marble topped bureau t
watch their father dress in his Cit
Troop uniform.
There would be a hug and kiss TO
each small daughter before he left IN
room, and then they would rush to tn
front windows, climb up on the chair
and peering through the parted cur
tains watch him mount his big blac
horse as he rode off to join the othe
members of the troop for their annui
dinner on November II or for wash
ington's Birthday, when the troop al
WAYS went to church as a body.
Well, believe Nancy, when she sa'
the troop yesterday she just almoS
screamed her fool head off.
And wasn't it great when Genera
Pershing came down off the stand l
Independence Hall and went over I
the Emergency Aid Aides and hande
Charlotte Cherry his gloves. She wa
the most astonished person | ever saw
for all the important officers of the or
carnations were lined up where
came down and every one expected thcl
TO be the ones he would specially notice
but not a bit Of it, he walked rigl
over to the e. A. AS and handed h
gloves to Charlotte, and I never hear
such a cheer as rang out.
The T.. AS and the Z. A. As mu'
certainly have been tired out walkir
around in those hot uniforms. Whe
they got up to Broad Street Station,
you please, the general, instead of get
ting right on the train, suddenly offere
his arm to Mrs. Macleod and wake
with her the whole length of the e. 4
AS, who were drawn up there on tt
platform and back again. Then he s.
on the train, and the excitement
two hours time about died down
last. NANCY WINNIE.
