THERE seems to be a great many
i weddings this week. It's funny how
they always come in punches. Yestcr-
day Priscilla Morris and Kenton Eiscn-
6rey were married and tomorrow Hen
rietta Wilson and Ted Shakespeare. On
Thursday there will be the wedding Of
Ienore Mccall and Norman MacLeish.
and on Saturday Catherine Cassard and
Thomas Hall McKoy, Jr., and Caroline
Murdoch and Douglas Gordon Allen.
Lately. especially, 1t seems to me
that most Of the girls are marrying men
from out of town. For instance. Bob
Bic Brockie married Richardson Dill
worth, of New York, and Nancy Cope,
Pierre Hazard. Of New York and Syra-
cuse. and Patty Baker. Benjamin
Grigss. Of st. Paul. Take the weddings
Of this week. OF course. Kenton Eir-
snbrey and Ted Shakespeare. are both
philadelphians, but Norman MacLeish.
Glencoe. ILL.,, and Catherine Cassard's
Norfolk. to be exact. Caroline Muir
doch's fance Is from Toronto, Canada.
EAIRS seem to get more elaborate
4 every year. You hardly ever 60 to
one that Is just plain fair" any
more. There are always pony shows.
fashion shows. dog shows. dancing and
anything else you can imagine. Peo.
pie do not seem to have the same zest
for hand embroidered penwipers and
hand.painted bookmarkers, and they
find the new order Of things much more
entertaining. So every one is plensed
and more money made for different
charities.

Mrs. Alba Johnson's place at Rose.

partment of the Jefferson Hospital.
Madame Maeterlinck will come over
from New York to sing and Sascha
Jacobinoff will play.
Besides this there will be a Watteau
ballet, folk dance by twelve Ukrain-
ians in costums and strawberries with
the deservedly famous Devonshire cream
IN little brown jugs. 1t makes me hun
fry just to write about it. There will
be a clown at the fair, too, and all
sorts of other thrilling things for the
children, NANCY WYNNE,
