Jeancs will give on the 10th of this
month to introduce her daughter, Eliz-
aLeth Jeanes. The musicale Is to bt

planning different kind of entertain
ment for her daughters debut. / think
1t will be delightful. and I am looking

of pleasure. Elizabeth Is very pretty
! saw her on the street the other day
wearing a tweed sports suit and smal
round sports hat, and she did lool
smart.
~ Speaking of tweed suits. ! saw Mrs
Randolph Justice on Walnut street or
Sunday morning walking up the street
after church. She was wearing SPORT
skirt and sleeveless coat, over which
was long cape of the same tweed. He,
hat was small round sports one o.
the tweed. which was n light brown
mixture. Mrs. Ridgway Reilly wa!
walking with her. She looked very wei
in dark brown heather cloth sports
suit and n small hat of brown velour.
JIMMIE is prayerful lad of three
- and the other day as he came ir
from play he stopped to gaze upon foui
little chicks that stray cat had killed
Somehow it did not seem to make hin
sad. nor was an impression of any kline
evident. But that night when Jimmi,
knelt down to say his prayers he added
to all the God bless papa and mamml
ard grandma and grandpa and the rest
"Dod b'css the chickics. but not the
died ones" NANCY WYNNE.
