IT'S Sara Dolan and Bulkeley Liver
more Wells. of Boston. Sara, you know.
Is the daughter Of the Tom Dolans. She
came out this last year and was quite
one Of the most feted and popular of
the debutantes. She Is, to my thinking.
extremely smart looking. Not tall, but
with great deal OF poise and style
and such frocks She has worn the love-
lest dresses on every occasion, and
wears them so WE'LL too.
There's everything In that. Often a
girl may have wonderfully good looking
clothes and wear them like rags; but
Sara carries herself like a little queen,
has a very pretty figure and exquisite
taste, 30 what more could you ask? Be-
sides she's extremely good looking, too.
She is the daughter Of the Tom
Dolans who have the former Howard
Clark place at Devon. Mr.. Dolan is a
son Of the late Mr.. Thomas Dolan, Of
Torresdale, and a brother of Clarence
Dolan, who married Miss Rosalie
Brown, and Of Yale Dolan. Mrs. Dolan
was Miss Isabel Hoffman.
Bulkeley Wells is the son Of Mrs.
Iivermore Wells, of Boston. He has
haze rioitino Ia tro n
student at st. Marks about the time Of
Arell Widener and the Shobers, and
has number of friends among the
Philadelphia men who went there. l
have always heard him spoken Of in the
highest terms.
The wedding date has not been set,
but in these days Of short engagements
it's doubtful IL IL will be long before
we receive the invitations.
A GOOD many hearts are pretty full
~ today, especially those whose dear
ones gave their lives so recently In
France, and in the memories Of those
older ones whose dear ones fell in the
Civil War more than sixty years ago.
For though yesterday was Memorial
Day by date, today is Memorial Day
by celebration. And it is well for US all
to pause and think Of our brave men
who died for our loved country.
MANY persons will spend the holi-
1Nl day out In the country, down at
the seashore and In the parks. The
Devon Horse Show is on its last day,
and feel from observation that the
Horse Show committee and the women
who worked for the Country Fair must
be indeed gratified at the response to
aid the Bryn Mawr Hospital, and that
said response not only did not lag as
the days grew from two to three, from
three to four, and finally to the fifth, to-
day. For it means something to keep
ones enthusiasm up in warm weather
for five days over the same subject, and
the workers and those who attended
certainly did, for each day the crowds
increased more and more, and Satur-
day was a wonder for attendance, while
today, too. will be very crowded because
of the holiday.
DUT we have other things to think Of
- this week. Besides the Horse Show
there are not less than three fetes on the
carpet. Tomorrow there will be the
Arlington fete, "Once in Blue Moon" {;
the next day the fete for the Broomall
country house of John W. Geary's in
Chestnut Hill (this one is called "a Day
in June', and on Saturday there will
be the Devonshire fete at the Alba
Johnson's place in Rosemont.
TOMORROW at Arlington they are
= actually going to have a hurdy-
gurdy and an honest to goodness mon
key. l approve of that Arlington fete.
1t starts at Q and ends at 10, and they
make just as much If not more than
others of the kind, and every one is not
dead tired for the rest of the month,
going from 10 a. m. to II p. m.
Imagine it! Sixty babies have al
ready been entered in the baby show.
Can you think of it, without smiling
yourself all up into pieces? All dimpled
and fat necks and little creased wrists
and little soft, warm curls, and you
just want to squeeze them. Even If
they get frightened and cry their little
faces all out of shape, aren't they the
dearest things?
These won't cry tomorrow, though,
because you see they will be bit older
than the long clothes stage, though long
clothes are by no means out Of it. The
majority, however, will be old enough
tell them one, and then the judging
will be done. Oh there's so much
going on l could not begin to tell you
all about it. l only know this, I'm
going.
CHE was two and half years old,
~ and she was such a lamb! Mother
had to go downstairs the other morning
when nursic had gone on an errand, and
so as mother was afraid to leave sister
alone, thinking she might explore the
stairs, she told her to sit on one OF her
little chairs and stay there till she
came up again. Well she was delayed
by quite long telephone call, and she
hastened up again only to hear small
daughter singing quietly to herself:
America, I'd give my boy to wee, an
" | had anuver, he'd march beside his
hruver." Then there was silence and
the baby was heard to clap her small
