= KNOW, Of course, It's fasnionapie
-. 81 know your children till they
sorrtee,, or fifteen years old, and II
aIe ~ come across them at any time
iosore iosa they attain those years they must
w he allowed to annoy you, but believe
n nv ia going some, when you see what
nc sow "a Yesterday on Chestnut street.
n" .oy woman walking along on her
-r.v to her car and noticed a leathery
,,ssb M suspended from her coat belt.
Naturally I looked for Fido TO come
trailinr along at the end OF said ieasn'
tnt HESS your heart, 1t was not f1do;
Int her own perfectly good young son Oh
Sorr. whom she had been hitting out Wltn
a coat and leggings and several otner
sh,nos down the street, and there he was
tn.tt;nS along back Of her quite as un.
uu. .enosrned as she. The leash was tied
..nnnd his wrist and he did not seem
o. mind it. in fact was used to such
s-tnrn,onces. and knew he must not
bother mother.
Now. while ! do believe that children
.,a,id NOT be allowed to be the whole
s,tns IN ones life, Just because it's bad
a. the child to see that he Is all you
tIi,k M. / do think that leading one 9
;nfsnt nv A leash like pup Is certainly
msotnu some" and I just haven't been
~ .ane since I cav that. However, 1t
snsv hecome tho thing to do, have vari-
nn: hinds OF leather and fur chains and
IA and ieweled ones. Who can tell
Enthinr should surprise me, ] know, but
somehow this was rec markable.
INIT Let Ms 70 on TO the waynes' tea
Is out a, Chestnut Hill yesterday;
,-h.rs I saw a great many people ana
M n most enjoyable time. Betty Is q
dssr' and looked just as pretty, as a
nict,,re IN her frock Of pale blue broche
ssun' which had an overskirt OF lace
Tsry effectively draped In sort OK cas-.
csde, at the side. The bodice was cut
sousre at the neck and 1t was trimmed
With lace also.
Marty In that the buffet supper given
sifsr the tea was for tho grown-ups
Who assisted in receiving and there was
not a debutante present. Later IN the
yssr thers'll be other doings for the buds
esy,y the party on through the entire
evening % well 40 afternoon.
yTHERE'S to be q private Wow of the
i annual exhibition Of water colors
and miniatures at the Academy. OF the
Fine Arts on Saturday, November IL,
and the evening bids fair to be delight
full, for the faculty OF tho Academy has
that private view, and there will, there
fore. be dancing, besides the pleasure Of
seeing the exhibition.
The patronesses who have been asked
10 recdve the guests include Mrs. Ed
ward Bains, Mrs. Arthur Billings, Mrs.
Gerald Campbell, Mrs. Henry Drinker,
Jr.. Mrs. Langdon Mitchell, Miss Eliza
beth Ingham, Mrs. Thornton Oakley,
Mrs. James Starr and Mrs. Dick Thigh
man. l always enjoy those evenings at
tho Academy, for they give me a chance
to see and talk with 30 many interesting
people.
EIROM conversations here and there, I
i gather that ice skating will be as
much the rage this winter as 1t has been
for several years, and the Philadelphia
Ice Skating Club has made arrangements
for two special sessions a week at the
Ice Palace again this year. Joe Chap
man and John Evans, who are promi-
nent members Of the club, made the ar
rangements, and every one is pleased to
pieces. You remember how beautifully
the Philadelphia skaters did in the con-
tests with other cities and clubs last year
at the annual benefit carnival.
There are 600 members in the club,
but only about 100 do the skating. The
Harrison Gamers are devotees, and so
are Stanley Rogers and his wife, and
Margaretta Sharpless, the Chapmans:
the Aleck Yarnalls and numbers OF
others. The Skating Club will hold It's
opening meeting after the first week in
November. / understand the date has
not been settled upon as yet.
JIMMIE had his hands rather full
u with small sister Ellen the other
day. Mother had a visitor, and Annie,
the nurse, was out and Ellen was fret
full and restless and cross, and would
not be interested in blocks or dolls or
anything. Suddenly he remembered the
new linen picture book Aunt Florence
had brought him, and he opened it and
coaxed sister to his side to "see the
pretty dogsies." She came and listened
MS he told about them, and bowwowed
like the dog and meowed like the pus-
ses. and was quiet at last. But it was
tired small boy who remarked tc
mother when she came to the nursery q
few minutes later: Gee. muv; got
her tanned ut last
