Nancy lynne Talks About the MyersW elsh Engage
ment-She Regrets the Death OF Mrs. Paine in
NetU York-The Ritz Competition Dances

ISN'T the Myers Welsh engagement
nice? Emily Welsh. you know. is
the daughter of the late Sam Welsh.
Her mother married Mr.. Henry Dixon
some years after Mr.. Welsh's death.
She is a sister Of Maris Welsh, who
married Louis Madeira and made her
debut the year before our entry into the
war. Mrs. Archibald Thomson and
Mrs. William Twells Tiers, who were
Miss Minnie and Miss Alice Welsh, are
aunts of the Welsh girls.
Young Lieutenant Myers was with
the transportation corps under Brig
adler General w. w. Atterbury
and was stationed in Algiers for some
months. He returned to this country
Just about two weeks ago. He is the
son of the William Hayward Mycrses. of
Haverford. and is brother of Mrs.
George Wharton Pepper, Jr., Mrs.
John +. Meigs, I'd, Mrs. Jacob s.
Disston, Jr., and Mrs. Henry Whar-
ton, Jr.
TT WAS with great regret that |
L learned several days ago of the death
In New York of Mrs. Paine, the mother
of George Eustis Paine, who married
Helen Ellis. of this city. Mrs. Paine
was Miss Maud Potts and lived here
as young girl. She has always kept
UP an intimate friendship with those
she knew in those days and her son
married into one of the Philadelphia
families. Mrs. Paine was taken i'll up
in Maine last summer. They were able
to take her to New York. but she has
been i'll most of the year since then.
She was a, most charitable. good
woman, always lending helping hand
where there was need. Mrs. Mason
Lisle of this city was one of Mrs.
Paine's intimate friends. The George
Eustis Paines, you know. are occupying
the old Struthers place in Bryn Mawr
for the summer.
THE competition dances arc becoming
i very popular on the Ritz roof these
DAYS. They had the first one on Mon .
day night and Juliana Baker and
Charlie Baird won the first prize.
Dancing seems to run in the Baird
Gamer families, for Uytendale Baird
Gamer, Jr. and Philler Lee won the
second prize that evening, and tiar-
rison Gamer. Uytendales husband, and
Mrs. Joe Rollins won the third prize.
Mrs. King Wainwright, Mrs. George
Dallas Dixon and Mrs. Ben Frazier
were the hostesses that evening.
I hear that they are very particular
about the dancing at the Ritz and every
hostess is handed list of what not
to allow in the dancing, For instance,
cheek by check and 'shimmy
dancing are both absolutely forbidden
It's fine thing and / hope that other
hostesses will take it up. l have not
seen the "shimmy'' dance where nice
ueople are, but ! have seen girls ana
boys of sixteen and seventeen, ana
older ones. too, sons and daughters OF
ladies and gentlemen, dancing with their
faces cuddled up close to each other
with the utmost abandon and nobody
minded apparently.
YHEAR that Mr.. Samuel Price Weth-
i erill has been i'll in a New York
hospital for the last six weeks some
thing very suffering about his eyes
Mrs, Wetherill is out at ldlewild for
the first part of the summer, but really
spends most of her time over at the
hospital in, New York. The latest
bulletin has it that he is on the mend
now and the family hope to be able to
take him with them to Winter Harbor
in July.
rTHEY got into the car on walnut
i street. and one was saying to the
other, 'I'm having cream sweater
made" Just at that moment IN got an
older lady who sat down beside the two
girls. They exchanged greetings, and
then the girl furthest away from the
newcomer leaned over and remarked to
her. How many hats do you wear in
a morning." The lady laughed and
said. did you see me before today!
Yes" and turning TO her commpan :
ion, she said, 1T was just like yours,
only had cream corored band instead
of white" This is it," said the lady
II lust took the band off and put these
flowers on it. Does it look badly?'
why, no indeed, it's lovely, chorused
both girls.
Then she who was having the cream
sweater made remarked, "What did you
do with the band?" And my dears
with that the aforesaid lady opened her
bag and thrust the cream band into
the others.
The two girls got off the car just
then, the "Givee" exclaiming, why
it's just what wanted for my new
sweater and Mary said I'd be extrava
CANT to buy new georgette crepe when
could wash the white band. You're
a dear" And off she went with per
fectly good fresh cream colored band
in her bag. And the lady laughed all
by herself in the car for about two
blocks afterwards.
