x/OU see so many odd colors these
i days that you are apt to wonder IL
dark blue, the favored color Of many
years, is going out, but it isn't. I've
seen any number Of blue gowns Of late
and blue suits, too, and they are cer-
tainly mighty good looking.
Mrs. Alexander Van Rensselaer, has
a stunning dark blue suit. The skirt
"a made of the plain material, laid III
knife pleats, and the short jaunty box
coat is embroidered in gray and blue
inst above the hem. Her rather small
hat of black straw Is covered with
lirht blue curled ostrich feather.
Another smart blue suit is that worn
nv Mrs. Robert l.. Montgomery. Her
coat is also box shape and has en-
broidcry in shades of blue, red and
chrome. Her small toquc hat is Of
blue straw, edged with fiat, light blue
flowers.

lid you ever know anything like the
- number Of engagements and we'd
ding dates since Easter? Two debu-
tantes' engagements were announced on
Saturday. Then there is the Wheeler
Brice engagement and wedding in June,
snd Miss Males engagement TO Penn
Corse.
The debs were Mary d. Ncwbold, who
Is engaged to Stephen Colhoun, and
Evelyn Smith, who is engaged to Fred
Lee.
Mary Newbold, known to her inti-
mates as "Dickie," Is the daughter of
Mr.. Glenn Newbold and niece there
fore of Mr.. Arthur n. Newbold, Mr..
John S. Newbold. Mrs. William J.
Taylor and Mrs. Beauveau Borie, Jr.
Her mother was the late Mary Scott,
daughter Of the late Thomas A. Scott
and a sister of Mr.. John Scott and of
Helen Struthers several weeks ago.
Stephen Colhoun's parents lived in
Maryland for many years and are now
established in this city again. Ask an
old Philadelphian "Do you know the
Colhouns?" and with countenance
lighted up he or she will say, "Oh, yes,
indeed; they were relatives of the
Bohlcns; but I did not know that any
Of them were left here in Philadelphia.
Awfully nice people. Used to 60 every
where. A son engaged to Mary New
bold? Isn't that delightful match?"
So you know what those who know
think of that alliance.
And Evelyn Smiths engagement to
Fred Lee is another thoroughly salts
factory one. In fact, all four that I
have mentioned are Just right"
Evelyh Smith is Mrs. Tommy Hart's
sister. Her mother was Miss Margaret
Newbold and her first husband was the
late Harry Smith. She married Mr..
Harry Adams about FIVE or six years
ago, but he was killed in an auto acci-
dent in Cape May three summers since.
