She Hears That Miss Wanumaker Is Well Again.
Other Items of Interest

WAS so interested yesterday to hear
i of the engagement of Edith Page
and DR.. Isaac Starr, Jr. Such de-
,iphtful and suitable engagement! do
90 like to hear Of a union between
members of old Philadelphia families
like that. Edith Page is, you know,
,he daughter Of the Howard Wurts
Pages and granddaughter of Mr.. s.
Davis Page. She is, therefore. niece
of Mrs. James Large and Of Mr.. Will
liam Byrd Page.
Edith is the eldest of the three Page
rirls. She made her debut about three
years ago. Evelyn and Mary, her
vouneer sisters, were introduced at a
tea given by their parents last No
vember. at their home, 1O1S Clinton
street. Mrs, Page and Edith are at
nresent up in Nova Scotia, where they
have gone for this month and August.
ISABEL PAGE is a cousin OF Edith s.
/ She, by the way, is still in Cali
fornia. and is succeeding very well, 1
have heard, in her acting:
The Pages are all perfectly cnarmins
girls. At 90 NJ ord
Mrs. Isaac Starr, OF Chestnut I'M
lie mother was Miss Mary Savage Bar
,ias and 7 think that he and Edith
ore distantly related, for the Barclays
and Wisters, and Wurts and RACES ana
Sauagea are all connected. NO date
has been set for the marriage, put,
Won know, lengthy engagements seem 70
he ont of fashion these days, SO guess
II will NOT be very long before the
wedding bells will be ringing.
r HEAR that Frances and Elaine
L Sullivan have gone up from Long
Island. where they have been visitlng
the Francis Burial Hoffmans and their
nmall nephew, who is year old now, 10
Narragansett Pier. Elaine has devei-
oped into an exceedingly pretty girl.
She has lovely coloring, and IN some
ways reminds me of her sister, the late
Mrs. Hoffman, though she is a more
vivid type than she was. 4,
Mrs. Sullivan has gone down to AT
lantic City for a short while. Inc sui
livans do not intend to spend any tiIlc
in the Adirondacks this season; RANGES
and Elaine will return to Radnor III
few weeks from Narragansett.
VoU will be glad to hear as l was
l. that Isabella Wanamaker Is home
again after three weeks at the hospital
To be sure, she was at the Abingdon
and as far as hospitals go, that is
deIirbtfully appointed one but then one
Is usually pretty sick to have to be there
three weeks, and so 1 am glad she is
able to be home once more, for that
proves that the operation was a sue
cess and that now she is, as the babies
say, "all better" She had appendi-
citis, you know. She went home to
Woodroyd this week. Alma, her sister,
is up at Lake Mohonk now visiting Mr..
and Mrs. Judson Sprankle, but she will
return to Merton next week. She is
going to spend the month Of August at
Camp Iroquois. Lake Winnepesaukee.
T HEAR rumors that the Supper Club
i Is to be 60 again next winter. I
am so glad, for I think those parties
are always delightful, and Mrs. Hutch
ison Scott makes such a delightful
hostess. The wee bird who told pe about
but I doubt it not IL Mrs. Scott is
willing to chaperone the affairs again,
for they have always been great fun.
And last year the younger set took to
them, too, as well as the older and
middle sized.
KEEP your ears open for an engage
~ ment ! expect to come out before
the end of this summer. The man
has a terrible case; Of that I'm sure !;
and think the girl is getting it very
hard, too. You'll be surprised when
you hear it. because I don't think YOU
have ar Snkling of it. You see, the man
IS not Philadelphian and has only been
on here few times, but I have seen
him several of those few times. and he
certainly is head over heels in love. and
! don't blame him. She's one of the
sweetest girls I know, and that is going
some for know a great many.
NANCY WYNNE.
