ALMOST feel as If I ought to take
h,ct nv remarks about Southamp-
- VSs ssn,,nr Newport to 1t these days,
!on Ssye not heard of SO much gayety
icr rI.wnort as this year, and especially
rnntb for several seasons. The
tnls tnt kstors gave beautiful ball Mt
,ne'i WHY lila on Friday night, preceding
.s dance with dinner attended by
,nO nv ouests. There were about 2OO
W,w rs a. the dance, and it was most
.nccsssful affair. Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Wissnsr were among the guests, and
". Craip Biddles also attended. so the
no n',Snr Civ was well represented.

y, Ali cold embroidery. She wore also
= large, black hat and her wonderful
,one Of pearls. As Mrs. George Wide
nor che was always one of the best
dressed women In Philadelphia, and as
Mrs, Rice she dresses with the same
exquisite taste.
CPEAKING Of the Goadby Loews'
y dance at the Clambake Club, did
YOU know that Anita Strawbridge is in
Newport staying with the two Loew
airls? She has been attending the tennis
every day, and from what wee bird
tells me, she is prettier than ever. She
was to my mind one Of the prettiest
debutantes of last season. You never
heard a word about her but that she
was having wonderful time, and
every one, young and old, liked her.
She was wisely brought up by her
attractive mother, and she certainly
shows her good breeding by her ease Of
manner and thoughtfulncss for others.
She is very pretty, with soft curly
golden hair and beautiful eyes. Her
mother is a very beautiful woman, too.
She was Miss Anita Berwind, and was
one Of the greatest bellies this city has
ever known.
MNHE way she looked at him and the
1 way he looked at her-Gosh ="
said she, telling me about it, "they are
just crazy about each other and that's
no lie
And it's true, boys and girls. He's
tall and most awfully nice looking, and
she Is small and dainty and cunning as
she can be. And they are certainly
muChly in love Maybe in a few dovs
can tell you who they are, and maybe
! will have to wait couple of weeks.
They have not actually and "poso-
lutely" decided on just what day in the
month of August they will announce 1t,
but they are going to announce it. And
It's Just as nice an engagement as you d
ever want to hear Of.
