do think Catherine Coke is very pretty.
She has such beautiful features ana
sucb pretty soft hair. And she always
looks so well in blue. especially hght
blue. | remember seeing her at one OF

arriving at the time. and had donned

white fur. She certainly did look
sweet.
ITHE Edward Welshcs gave dinner
Il l. last evening at Shadow Farm,
,tWakefeld. their place in Rhode Island.
&To my thinking, that is charming
4name. IL you have ever motorcd
Through that region. and have seen the
beautiful farms stretching out nile
LATTER mile, broken now and then Dy
streams, you could see in your mind
eye the Welsh place. with the waving
Willows and the other beautiful trees
which give the shadows. for which it

,,,;th fhn Nn1vhA onI tbn dinner
was given in their honor. You know,
Mr.. Edward Welsh is an uncle of Per
sifor Frazer, whose mother was Miss
Mary Welsh.
Wakefield is not far from Narragan-
sett Pier. so the younger set from there
figured among the guests at the dinner.
you ever know anything like the
- sailings for Europe these days?
| Almost every other minute you hear OF
some one else who is to spend the sum
mer abroad. Mrs. William Saunders
Of overbrook: sailed on Saturday. and
$50 did the James Watt Mcrcurs and
Houston. Mrs. John II. Scott and For
ester Scott are already over there. The
ohm Fells are going very soon. They
were to have sailed last month. but for
home reason could not get off. Ellen
and Eugenia Cassatt went over about
a month ago with their mother. Mrs.
Gardner Cassatt. In fact, there are SC
many Philadelphians there l cannot re
member all of them.
THEY were going up to New England
= and they had decided to go in the
car. So fhey hacked in mother nnd
father. five children and the dog. The
car held seven comfortably. and bun :
dies. too. and a leather hatbox and q
fSw other things. Well. everything
1 went beautifully till they stOpped on
the outskirts of n small New England
town to get gasoline. While they
waited the dog decided to explore
around. Now be it known said dog
lived around Philadelphia. where. when
you come to fence you can usually 500
over 1t or through it. because it is built
of wooden palings or iron or wire: so
how expect Jack to know that il he
Jumped over one Of those low stone
fences or walls in New England.
would Just naturally jump right into
one OF the thousand and one creeks or
brooks or rivers or pools or bays that
form half Of New England. OF course,
| ~ WV hOt hnOW. anu us Inp rnll0rcn
AL knew that no matter when they
started or where they went Jack would
ne along. they did not bother to watch
him.
Well the gasoline being achieved,
AN aboard" shouted father. And ali
aboard they got. Jack appearing over
the stone wall streaming water soaked.
Now. there $ such thing as travel :
ing comfortably, seven in n car with
seven seats and room for a dog on the
moor: but when said dog Is wet ana
shaking himself about every two min
nteS the comfort is not 60 great. What
70 DO! Finally mother solved the prob :
cm by emptying the contents Of the
hatbox. Delivering the most precious
uats to the laps Of the riders, she
neatly strapped small Jack inside the
box, aud so they motorcd into Nara
Eansett Pier, the hats rather the worse
from the dust OF the road.
