nID you know that Peggy Ferguson is
i ~ going to England with the hockey
team in the spring? She graduates from
Springsidc this June. and she has made
the woman's team which Is to go to
England TO play the English girls.
Peggy will come out next season. too,
but no date can be fixed, naturally.
until she knows when she will return
from England She is the daughter of
Seminole avenue. Chestnut Hill. and
has a sister Eillian aud brother. Jim
Ferguson. I think she has right to
hc proud that she is one Of those to
make the team: and won't it be won-
dcrful experience. the trip and the
game an everything?
A MOTHER debutantc from Chestnut
n Hill for next season win be Anne
Barclay. n sister Of Caroline Barclay
and daughter of the William Iyttleton
Barclays. Caroline came ont this year
and has had a lovely time. Anne is
very attractive. and, as in So many
eases. those outside ofthe family see a
strong resemblance between the sisters.
while others do not note II at all, No
special date for the debut has been set
as yet. but it is probable that 1t will be
In October.
T HAVE been so interested of late
i hearing about the ST. Christopher
Hospital for Babies. Did you know
that Dickie Ncwboltf has been doing a
lot Of work connected with the dispcn-
sary there? SO often we only hear Of
the CAV times our drbutantcs arc having
and little Of the good. solid work some
of them do. Dickie Newbold is Mary
Dixon Newbold. daughter Of Mr..
Clement Ncwbold and sister of Anna
Ncwbold. who, by the way. will come
out newt year.
The board of managers Of 81. Chris
tophcr'S has decided TO hold a donation
day tomorrow for the benefit Of the
hospital. as the expenses are terrific
now. especially with the II. G.. of l..
and the want Of nurses. Just think.
the hospital requires at least eighteen
nurses for its working staff and at
present there are only seven. So you
can imagine how much need there is.
rs the hospital has big deficit this
year the managers and women of the
toclal service committee are making a
supreme effort to have n successful day.
! think they are rather original not to
nave rummagc sale.
