= HEAR that Mrs. Craig Biddle has
had an unpleasant accident which
rbile NOT DANGEROUS Is painful and Will
comnel her to stay In for some days,
q NOT weeks. She was walking on the
lawn of her place in New York and
twiated her foot in little hollow in the
srass breaking one Of the small bones;
I don't think there is more palntuI
nloce TO hurt, though, OF course, 1
supposc In bigger fractures 1t is worse,
hut I remember spraining a small pone
In the foot once and the pain was
simply excruciating. ,u,.
Young Laura Biddle, Mrs. Biddle
daughter, Is about sixteen now ana an
extraordinarily good looking girl. In
A year or two we shall be going TO NEE, NEE,
her at her tea, rs / suppose she VIII
be presented here as well as IN Ne"
port.
CSPEAKING Of teas, there seems to
y have been a Misunderstanding among
M ali about some of the teas this year
because several dates which were first
announced have been changed. as, for
instance, the Heckschers' tea for Vir-
sinia, At first the date chosen was
Saturday of this week. Later they
decided to have the tea on Saturday,
October 10, and the cards are now out
for that date.
Virginia, as think I told you yes.
terday is the daughter Of the Ledyard
Heckschers, Of Radnor. She Is pretty
and has the sweetest manner and
charming little laugh. Her mother was
Miss Ethel Hart, n sister of Mr.
Thomas Hart, who married Margare'
Smith.
Then, too, I heard several peopl'
speaking of going out to Virgins
Smiths tea in Wynnewood next Satur
day. Now 1t happens the tea Is no
on Saturday but will be on Friday
September 23, from 4 until @ 80 o'clock
And incidentally for those of us witt
are going out by train instead Of moto
it Is nice to know that Mr.. Smith ha
arranged to have buses meet train
from Broad Street Station and iron
the house back again to Wynnewoo'
between those hours.
SO now, I think, we have 1t all clear
two teas this week. Friday, Nirgini
Smith, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Arthur Dearborn =. Smith; Saturday
Cintra Ellis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs
William Struthers Ellis, and Saturda
October 10, Virginia Heckscher, dauGh
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ledyard Heck
scher, will be introduced instead Of o.
