senia, will sail for home at the end OF
his month. They have been in Europe
since early in June and have been visit
ins their aunt, Miss Cassatt. ut her
chateau in France. Ellen went over
10 England for time to attend the
Girl Scouts convention. You know
she Is deeply interested in that work
and was one of those to start 1t in this
eity. That was less than six years
ago, and there are some 1000 scouts in
Philadelphia and its suburbs already.
Ellen Cassatt is the commissioner of
The Scout association, and Gwen Mar
lin is vice commissioner. Elizabeth
For. Of Torresdale, Is another girl who
Is devoted to Scout work, and has had
the summer camp, which is just outside
Of Langhorne, in her charge. Mrs.
Newbod Taylor Is mother member of the
board and there are several more who
work hard with the girls and for them.
1t is fine thing. this teaching little
girls useful, healthful things from the
time they are ten. l have been amazed
hearing of the little ones of twelve and
fourteen washing babies, ironing their
own clothes, tying knots, lighting fires,
swimming. Oh. I can't remember all
Of the things they do, but they are
really splendid.
0F COURSE, Narragansett folk are
" all agog to attend the wedding of |
Dorothy Norris and Raoul Alevra. The
engagement was announced just about a
month ago, and now it has been decided
TO have the wedding in September, the
exact date to be determined by the time
Of Lieutenant Alevra's arrival in this
country. He is a Rumanian, you know,
and has been abroad on a mission at
Vladivostok for his country. He sailed
from Japan August Z, and will probably
reach Narragansett in a couple of
weeks, The wedding is to take place
a the Norris home in Narragansett.
Mrs. Norris and Dorothy returned from
Japan and China and other Asiatic
Countries just about six weeks ago.
Dorothy's engagement was announced |
very shortly after their arrival here.
Dorothy has such original ways of
doing things that I feel sure her we'd
dlng will be decidedly unique affair,
one quite worth the trip to Narragan-
stt to attend. The Norrises know so
well how to entertain that for one do
moi intend to miss it.
