And no doubt you could name ten or

And the air isn't very fresh these days,

Nave ybu heard that the Plays and
PLAYERS are going to have musicale on
Sunday evening at the playhouse Il al
most said clubhouse. wouldn't that have
hsen I' n break, at s 80? Mrs. John P.
Ge;go. who is chairman of the music
committee, has arranged delightful
nropram, I believe, and the artists are
Mrs. Edwin A. Watrous, soprano Miss
Florence I. Haenle, violinist; Miss Dor
otbea Neebee, pianist, and Miss Ruth
BARBER, accompanist. The Plays and
PLAYERS are always worth hearing,
whether it be in comedy, tragedy or
harmony.
T SAW Margaret Berwind the other
l day in the most becoming get-up.
She always dresses so well, and every
thing she puts ON looks perfectly stun
ming, Well, the day that / saw her
she wore a toque, one of those close
fitting affairs of sort of cerise velvet.
and q squirrel coat that reached just
below her waist. The skirt that showed
below that was an awfully pretty dark
blue velvet, and | am sure that it was
the lower half Of very good looking
dress.
TN THESE days of the H. c. of l.. you
see a good many people with their
baskets on their arms and their pads
and pencils in their hands doing their
own marketing. But l was surprised
The other day to see certain girl
who is not much more than debu
tante, standing beside we'll filled
basket. trying to convince the grocer
that his idea of the price of sugar was
all wrong. l looked again. and it really
was she. And then l remembered the
number of times / have seen her with
the same very attentive, very good
looking young masculine person and
recalled some of the rumors I have
heard. And I wondered. OF course,
she may be doing it to help her mother,
but then, on the other hand, she may
be doing it to get into practice. It's
always good plan to know how to do
things so that when the time comes you
won't be caught unprepared. No en-
gagement has been announced as yet,
but I'm wondering!
