,iYAsN'T It interesting to hear Of the
w engagement Of Emily Hammond!
che IL the daughter Of MIR. and Mrs.
Iobn Henry Hammond. Of New York,
and IL engaged to John Merryman

derbilt.
Her fiance went to Harvard, and
was in the class Of 1918, but in 1917
he Joined the army and became q cap.
tain in the Three Hundred and First
battalion, heavy tanks. that formed a
mart Of the British Third Army and

2O), Elinor Thompson, Of Greenville,
Del'. and Mary Hebard, Of Chestnut

Of Ners, and Emily has come over to

Mt Mary's coming -out dance year be-
was most attractive. She has wavy
brown hair brown eyes and q lovely

TT SEEMS to me as II Lent had gone
/ on wings. Could you believe that yes.
terlay was Good Friday and that to-
morrow will be Easter? I do hope
il will be clear day. Holidays mean
so much to some people, and 1t dampens
spirits very much when the out-of-
doors Is wet. That's not meant for a
nun, YOU know, it's true the weather
has great effect upon your spirits.
HOPE this spring Charity Ball,
/ which is to be given next Friday. will
be a great success, and from all i hear
about It, it will. 1t Is to be at the
Lorraine Hotel, and It's for the benefit
Of the disabled, crippled, wounded and
sick war veterans.
As the war gets further and further
away from us in years some OF us for =
get that there are still wounded and
sick. We know there are crippled and
disabled, because we see them now and
again, but we are apt to forget that
men are still in hospitals, still suffer-
Ing, still paying for the victory they
helped to win. So I am glad this char.
ity ball will give us an opportunity to
help them. While the war was on we
were always going to see them and
taking them things and giving them lit
tie rides. I am afraid there are not
very many doing this good work now,
and this ball is going to help, for.
tunately.
saw Ernie Coleman in town on
Wednesday looking we'll in a red frock
and top cape of dark blue. She has
pretty. fair hair and is jolly and at.
tractive. She was wearing gray stock
ings and patent leather slippers, and
her hat was black straw model made
in very becoming shape.
CPEAKING Of becoming, reminds me
- of Freddie, who takes a great in
terest in his mothers appearance, and
especially is he particular about her
hats. He Is five years old and he in
sists on surveying her costume before
she leaves the house for any occasion.
The other day after she had gone to
tea he came back into the nursery from
escorting her to the door and remarked:
THAT hat of mothers is just too be-
Gaming for anything"
