MRS. JOYCE SEwELL and Mrs.

generally speaking. You feel "all
dressed up" with parasol.
It's funny how Cape May takes
hold on some families. The McCrearys,
for instance. The late Mr.. George d.
McCreary had cottage there, and they
used to 20 down every year when Mrs.
Sewell and Mrs. Parr aud George D.,
Jr., who married Nellie Williams.

going down every summer now with
their children, just rs they did twenty
and twenty five years ago.

for years. Their father and mother had
q cottage there and for years and years
they occupied it. Mr.. Louis Scott used
also to 60 down. He died several years
ago, you remember, and Mr.. Y. Scott,
who is really Alexander Scott, mar
ried Helen Struthers last spring.
Then the McCrpdv family. They
have q cottage on Hughes street, and
every year they have spent six months
there. Only Miss Emily McCredy and
her brother and his wife, Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson McCredy, are left of that large
family, and Mrs. Horace Fassitt, who
spends much of her time With her chill
dren, Mrs. Wharton Churchman, Mrs.
Chris Hasan and John Fassitt.
T HEAR that Miss Mary Converse
! has returned to Rosemont. She has
been away for nearly a year, YOU know
Last summer she went to Japan and
was there until May Of this year. re-
turning to the United States in June.
She has been spending the summer in
New London. Conn. and returned to
hosemont Yesterday. She will have
wonderful things to tell us of her trip,
! doubt not.
A LII women will be interested, as l
~ am. to hear that Mrs. George Lori
mer has been made vice chairman of the
STATE ways and means committee of the
Republican National Committee. 1t is
interesting to see the women the lead
ers are choosing. Mrs. barclay War
burton has another state position and
Mrs. Willis Martin. All of these
women have proved that they are fine
executives and that is what we want.
Besides being charming women they
have brains. Mrs. Lorimer is the first
one to be named sin @ the nineteenth
amendment was ratified. And those of
US who know her work as chairman Of
the independence Square Red Cross and
chairman Of the Armenian committee Of
the Emergency Aid know that the wnys
and means committee has Il most able
woman as vice chairman.
-,l saw Mrs. Lorimer riding down
chestnut street just a few days ago
wearing small dark blue velvet hat
with narrow brim in front and rather
narlng sides. 1t was trimmed with an
uncurlcd ostrich feather of the same
shade of blue. She wore dark blue
georgette crepe frock.
Mrs. Walter Thomson. who is chair
man OF the Philadelphia branch of the
Republican women. is doing good work
at the headquarters. 506 South Broad
street. She is another splendid eYecu-
tive.
1t seems to me that even IL some of
the women have not wanted the vote.
even II some have opposed it. now that
u Is constitutional it is duty to use 1t.
just MS have always held that all good
men should vote and help to make poll
Ties better instead of grumbling about
