TT CERTAINLY was delightful to see
L how happy the Victor Mathers were
10 be together once more after months
Of separation. They were at the Horse
Show on Saturday and, my. but Mrs.
Mather did look beautiful Victor never
left her side for minute the whole day.
And every one who saw them smiled
with happiness to know that another
safe and happy return home from "over
there" had been accomplished. !.
Mrs. Mather was in white from head
to foot, white satin sweater, suit, hat
and shoes and stockings, and lace Veii'
They are a splendid looking couple; she
is so very fair and he is so dark.
You know, Mr.. Mather was godfather
for his small nephew, Hubert Potter
Earle, on Sunday out at st. Martins
irrthe- Field. He and Ralph Earle
acted in that capacity and Lucia War
den was the godmother. The baby was
to have been christened last week. but
as his uncle was delayed in getting
here, only arriving on Thursday, the
ceremony was postponed until Sunday.
The baby is the son of George IL.
Earle, Sd, and Huberta Potter. He has
a brother. George II. Earle, 4th, who Is
about four years old and a perfect
darling.
DON'T forget the Rainbow Fete this

Country Club. 1t starts at O'Clock
and lasts until late in the evening, for

CPEAKING of Mrs. Biddle and Mrs
- O'Neill reminds me. Have you hear'
that their mother, Mrs. J. Bertran
Lippincott, is much better after YER
long and serious attack OF typhoi
fever? Every one has missed Mrs. Lip
pincctt so much at the various chari
table affairs this spring, for she ha
always taken an active part in helpin
good works along. But her friends ar
greatly relieved to hear that she is bet
ter and will soon be able to be move
out of town.
CHE was perfectly fascinating ridin
y her brand new play pig that mothe
had bought for SS at the Country Fai
out in Devon on Saturday. They wer
waiting for the train at the station, yo'
know, and. oh. that pig! 1t wa
about two feet long and twelve to fif
teen inches high, and little daughter
who is about four years old, nearly ha'
fit over him. She patted him and sh
petted him and then she turned aroun
and looked up into mothers face an
remarked: Mother, if you hadn'
bought this pig for me 1t would be
long to somebody else. wouldn't it?'
And how she did love it!
I was smiling to myself when sud
denly I heard -, who was standin
there, say to -, "Nancy Wynn
ought to hear that" And then, "Don'
YOU love the stories about children sh
gets? I wonder who she is. Isn't
odd the way she always says some
party or some joke. have ofte
wondered who wrote it." II have bee
curious, too. have thought of writ
ing to the paper to find out who she is.
.'Oh, they wouldn't tell you," retorte
the first.
And there stood Nancy, almos
doubled up with laughter. It's sma
world, isn't it?
NANCY WYNNE.
