Years, To 20 olt there the easiest way

will be buses to meet the train leaving
the Reading Terminal at half after 4
o'clock.
lave you seen Evelyn lately? I
IL always thought she would develop
into n stunning girl. and she certainly
has. She has that wonderful soft red
gold hair, which is not red nor yet
gold, but real combination Of the two.
and her eyes are rather dark. She Is
tall and slim and very graceful. You
remember her mother, who was Anna
Jones. She was a lovely woman and
devoted to her daughter. She died
about three years ago quite suddenly !:
that Is, after very short Illness. j
remember how shocked we all were Mt
the time. and what sad thing it was
for her little daughter, who was the
apple Of her eye.
There Is no doubt that Evelyn will
have beautiful time. for she Is pop
uar and unspoiled and lovely.
DID you see the Andrew Wheelers'
~ small son out at the tennis last
week? | had not seen him since he
was about three, and he certainly is as
good looking as he was then. Well,
my dears. he was wearing a full Eton
get.up-long gray trousers, black Eton
jacket, white collar and cuffs and wee
derby hat. He was the cutest sight ;
his small mocha gloves were the fin-
ishing touch. can tell you, and every
one was turning around to see him as
he passed along with his father.
CPEAKING of tennis, was fairly
~ convulsed out there on Monday when
the finals we're being played. Every
one was tensely watching when
small girl of about FIVE. should judge.
who evidently thought she'd been
brought to circus. suddenly spoke up !:
II wish those mend get through play
Ing ball and let the stunts begin
