- = thinking about the other Baker girls
snd it suddenly struck me now ooa,
tnree ,.o-n y, cities. all of which begin with
SstiSt Seis. Sonbie is to be married in July
SAM t,owi to Ethan Shepley of st.
you linda married q Mr.. Ames Of
Goui q. Psui and here is Juliana engaged to
o.. Nixon. of San Antonio. It's funny
IT chose things happen. There are the
90" 10" Johnsons, who married men whose
ss,, names we're the same. Louise mar
nlSS n;aS Marshall Morgan and Anna Mar
.Soi, Sclll, and they are unusual names,
sooi And know of another family
poro three brothers married girls
nau,ed Isabel. They must get terribly
I.i"sJ NJ Christmas and Thanksgiving
s.mily gatherings, wondering which one
sSonld answer to the name.
To return to the Bakers. They are
,be incest family of sisters. Six OF
tbem. YOU know - Rachel, SOPHIE,
Iuliann and Martha at home and saran,
,,ho married Jack Bell, and Linda, who
W M'y yrs imes, Sophie is to be married
- inly and / understand definite
d.,s has not vet been set for Juliana 3
'"eJdinQ, | saw Juliana on Fifteenth
.treet on Tuesday afternoon, and she
%os looking very attractive in a sort OF
.,ov .blue heather cloth suit with a
fittie round, stitched hat to match 1t.
Her hair is bobbed, you know, and she
hss Bit of a droop in one eyelid. which
oiyes her q decidedly piquant expression
snd is most attractive. Her hair Is
dark and very thick and curly, and her
eyes are dark, too.
SAW Margaret Dunlap the other
day and she looked perfectly lovely.
Hcr color Is so pretty and she has sucn
a beautiful skin. She was wearing q
golden brown duvetyne dolman and a
large hat Of henna -colored crepe de
chine. which was trimmed with small
benna .colored flowers. Margaret al
vays wears large hats, and they are
most awfully becoming.
HEAR that Miss Louise Wood,
Mrs. George Lormier and Mrs.
George Fales Baker are to preside ut
thc tea table at the Charlotte Cushman
Clubs tea tomorrow afternoon. You
know that the board Of managers will
give a tea for the stars who took part
10 the benefit last week at the clubhouse
tomorrow from 4 until half after
o'clock. think it will be an interest
ing afternoon.
DUMMAGE sales seem to have
~ broken loose again. I haven't seen
or heard Of any for q long time, and
then two weeks ago there was the one
for the Seventh ward charities, and now
yesterday and today there are two full
fedged ones going side by each, or
almost side by each. at Seventh and
Chestnut streets for the Wellesley Col
lege fund, and about four doors from
there nearer to Sixth street, there's a
huge sale on for the benefit of st.
Edmond's Home for Crippled Children.
And the things are fascinating. Furni-
ture and clothes, and ornaments and
books, and I can't tell you what all.
I'm going to stop there today for sure,
who knows but may find a marble
mantle clock or one of those lovely
clothes trees, you know the kind that
stands In the corner Of your room and
when you wake up at night and see it in
the shadows with clothes hanging on it,
you just about pass out because, as in
the case Of the spinster who spent her
life looking under the bed for a possible
burglar, you think: well there he is
at last !"
But joking aside you do get wonder
ful things at rummage sales and there
are a great many persons who 40 like
things that others do not like and q
rummage or white elephant sale gives
YOU q chance to get nice things cheap.
Besides all this these affairs are for
very good causes. It's wonderful
thing to help along those poor little
crippes out at St. Edmond's, and in
these days when education means more
than ever, it's certainly wise to keep ur
our colleges as best we can.
THE baby went to see her grand
L mother the other day and somehow
she could not quite understand tha
Mana" was expecting her hair dresser
and 80 had put her hair up rather
loosely, and that was why it was no
in its usual well -groomed condition, ant
also, be 1t said, that this Mana" il
Young and very pretty. Well the bab!
looked at her and looked at her, ant
could not make it out, Mana" must b,
sick, and when nurse came to take he,
home she said: well goodby, Nan
! hope you'll feel better soon, your hail
does not look nice today"
