TTAvE you seen the Thnyers' house
II nj Twenty second and Locust
streets. which they fixed up this year
md lived in until they moved to the
Adirondacks for the summer months
They painted It gray, and the shutters
and window frames are all dark blue.
Then they have planted privet hedge on
Twenty second street and on the Locust
street side. It's unusual for town
house, and very attractive looking. The
Russell Thnyers, mean, Molly Thay-
er's parents.
CPEAKING of the Thayers makes me
~ think Of the Ncwbold and Dixon
connections and that I heard that Mr..
John Newbold and his daughter Vir-
ginia and Mr.. Percy Heating and Lind
ley Johnson, Jr., are all taking the
Great Lakes trip together this week.
The Newbolds, Keatings and John
sons are all related and connected, Mr..
Newbolds wife being Mr.. Heating s
niece, and Lindley Johnson Is Mr.. Keat :
ing's nephew, as we'll as cousin of
Mrs. Newbold and Of Virginia. ,Vir-
ginia, by the way, is growing prettier
each, time l. see her. She looks more
like the Newbolds than the Campbells,
and though she, has not as beautiful
features as her mother, she is very good
looking. She is about fourteen years
old now, and very straight and well
built.
0NE of our most dignified and
" charming women, whom you know
and know and whom we will call Mrs
B., had an experience the other eve
ming which convulsed me with laughter
and know you would like to hear it.
TOO. You see. 1t was terribly warn,
evening and so with one or two other
friends she decided to walk over to Rit
tenhouse square after dinner to try to
get some cool air. -,
We'll. they went and sat there until
dark and then were walking slowly
down Locust street to Mrs. B. s apart :
ment when there suddenly appeared at
Mrs. BIS side dapper young man in
hannels and ,jaunty coat. He swept his
hat from his head and said: "I've
always heard there was safety in num-
bers may | stroll along with you?"
The indignant woman turned and
looked at him from head to foot. "You
certainly may not" said she. "You
Just stroll along by yourself about as
fast as you can go" and, needless to
