NBN LIN ulu s'N "h' '"'"S sN w
| this week. Why it's just simply
aown. Here we arc Mt Friday and TO-
morrow will be the last SATURDAY OF TINS
i,,nod NJ tea at the Acorn this after
,oon md tonight the Edwin Eldon
Gpobams are giving dance for their
Ja"gbter Gertrude Graham, and the
phIiinnus NIillers will have a dinner for
Norv Miller before the Graham dance.
Altogether It will be q gay afternoon
and evening, and tomorrow we have
sarah Baily's tea and the Pickering
IInnt meet in the afternoon, and several
other things, including the Drexels'
dinner dance.
THE Pickering is always a very de-
i ,iohtful meet, and hear that they
have the largest number OF entries ever
made at any local race meet. You know.
tbe affair Is held on the grounds OF
Billie Clothier's farm in Phoenixyillc,
which adjoins the Pickering Hunt Club,
and the farmers from. oil the country
round are invited and attend a large
breokfast which Is given In their honor:
Tho farmers are keenly interested and
many Of them have entries in the fiat
race and steeplcchase.
One Of the events which every one
loves at these races, and by the way
tbis is the Pickering's eighth annual af-
fair, is mule race. Five have been
entered for that event, and would not
miss Il for anything cause when II
mule gets stubborn. and one of them is
hound 70, as our old nurse used to say,
IT'S the stubboncst 70 legged or any
legged thing in dis worl'.'
Mr.. r. Penn Smith is managing the
meet, and ! hear there Is to be hrst
and second prize for every race.
r SUPPOSE because there Is so liter
i alIy nothing to do on Sunday after
moons and evenings here, except to go TO
church. and many who have gone in the
morning and afternoon both. think tney
want a little relaxation in the evening
ar vice versa. that accounts Tor inc
Sunday entertaining which is becoming
quite prevalent this year. Take thla
SnnJor The Tom Dolans are giving
nuite n large luncheon out at their place
IN Devon I'm honor Of their daughter Sara
and her husband, Paul Denckla,a ,at which
thcre are to be about seventy guests.
And further UP the road on the Main
Iinc the John Kent Kanes are planning
IN informal supper in honor OF Flor
ence Kane. their attractive daughter.
Florence, you remember, is on the
hockey team which the Morris girls
nave gotten up, and will probably be
niaying hockey down there In Villanova
IN The afternoon before tho supper. You
know, the Kanes have farm up near
Frazier, beyond Paoli. It's deli ightful
house and quite ideal for big informal
affairs.
