Nancy lynne Sees Smart Clothes Worn by Shoppers
She Hears of Parties in Nuragansen Pier
and at Southampton

/, ssuuY any one should come TO town
wv these days when he, she or they
AVE perfectly good cottage down a!
~ seashore i cannot understand. But
~, there are reasons, of course. So
Man I saw Lucy Grey on Chestnut
s.reet. though at first ] wondered why
~ earth she was not in Cape May,
vos,iyed that there was perfectly good
ssason right here in town, even II she
IA not have to do any shopping, which
s.sa mart of her reason for coming up.
After which strange preliminary
an here to say that she looked per-
- So,,v sweet in frock of dark blue
roio dotted in white, held in at the
,aist with n plain blue sash, and fin
,.bed at the neck and sleeves with blue
tabs, Her hat was small model in
Jsrk blue. turned up off the. face:
Yucy's hair is so pretty; 1t Is bobbed
and Il is of that rare shade OF gold
Aust turning into red. she has the most
live expression and such humorous
twinkle in her eyes, love to look ut
saw Mrs. Harry VAIN Harrison
An Chestnut street, too, few days
.ao and she looked very cool, which
sseeu,Il admit is a hard thing to do.
Gsr dress wns one piece affair Of
i;sbt yellow linen. made on perfectly
nisin lines and trimmed down both sides
pr;tb tiny fat white bows. Her hat
,os of white straw and on either side
~ Tho brim hung narrow ends of white
v,bbon. Her shoes and stockings also
wsre white. Mrs. Harrison always
wears stunning clothes. She has much
the coloring Of Lucy Grey, and is very
good looking. -
a nOEsN'T it make you fairly sizzIe
~ even to think Of dancing? And yet
they had n ball up at Narragansett
Pier Thursday night. l suppose IT IS
not intensely hot there in the evening
This holiness is all over the country,
though. l had letter from Maine just
= doy or so ago and was told that the
thermometer had been ninety for sew
sral DAYS. Anyway they had the ball,
and II was q great success. Mrs.
Aleck Brown gave large dinner at
her villa before the ball. and several
other Philadelphians entertained. l
should think it would be strange not
10 have Dorothy Norris up there some
mart of the summer. Just think. she will
have been married year in Sentembcr.
Never will 7 forget that wedding and
the strange headdress she wore of pearls
and fringe. She married a Rumanian,
Raoul Alevra. They have been spend
inr the year In Budapest and in Paris; /;
that Is. they stayed in Paris for quite
4 while after their marriage before
voing on cast to Rumania. | hear they
are coming here in the fall to visit
Mrs. Norris in New York.
THERE was wonderful concert at
N
benefit of that city's adopted village in
France. There is no question about it,
Southampton Is THE place to 60 these
DAYS. Newport has FOR three solid years
mad to take back place as far as
fashionable doings go. Southampton Is
IN the lead as to people and enter
tainments both.
At the concert last night. Betty
Thompson, Helen Lee. Cornelia Iiv-
ingston and several others served as
ushers, and there were quite a few
Philndelphians in the audience, though
as yet many have not been going that
way for the summer. The James
Francis Sullivnns are going there next
week. They know a great many Of the
New YOrkers in the colony and always
have a wonderful time there. Mr.. and
Mrs. Francis Burrcll Hoffman. whose
tOn Adult llOlluluH' Hiurll'u he'n SUI
Ivan, whose sad death occurred just
about two years ago. spend their sum
mers at Southampton. and Mrs. Hoff-
man and Mrs. Sullivan are very close
friends You remember my telling you
that Mrs. Hoffman is friend Of Queen
Elizabeth of Belgium. The Queen was
godmother by proxy for the little Hoff-
man boy, Lcta's baby, you know.
Doggy was playing around under the
1 trees the other afternoon when an
inQuisitvc bee lighted on her little
thumb and stung her. She looked at
the thumb in an aggrieved way and
then with trembling lips ran to mother:
"Oh Muvvy" cried she, "a fly kissed
the end of my thumb, but he kissed IL
too hard; it hurts !"
