Now many I've missed through it.
WELL, let us 90 up to Newport in
w sp,rit at least, IL we cannot be
ar townsfolk who are there will see and
bsar this week. In the first place,
.bere's the invitation tennis tourna-
ment then there's the Annual Horse
Show and the pageant tonight by the
Art Association. Peggy Thayer is in
Newport, you know, and so is Anita
s,rawbridge and the Tom Ridgways, the
Craig Biddles, Mrs. Howard Spencer
Graham, who is head Of the pageant;
Aiiy Dolnn and her father, Mr.. Clarence
Dolon Mrs. Dolan and Rita sailed for
Eurore Saturday., Mr.. and Mrs.
George George D. Widcner, Mr.. and Mrs.
Petev Roberts, Phyllis Walsh, who is
there for the tennis, and ever SO many
others.
Reggie Vanderbilt has been Ill with
inAammatory rheumatism, and every
ma has been afraid he would not be able
to 10 get to the Horse Show, but the
lstsst news I have had from Newport
and that IN a letter written on Sunday,
tells me that the doctor has given him
permission to judge at the show today
and to give his annual dinner at Sandy
point Farm for tho Horse Show Com.
mittee. Somehow horse show at
Newport without Reggie Vanderbilt and
r. Penn Smith, of o. o. d. c., as judges,
would not seem like horse show.
would it?
AND do you realize that our own
n Bryn Mawr Horse Show will be
mr!ng us out on the Main Line in four
weeks time? It does not seem possible,
but il IS. and before that there will be
teas and garden parties and comings
home from north. south. cast and west.
The number of buds for the season is
phenomenal, almost as many as there
we're the year nfter the waS. when
nearly two hundred were introduced.
This season there will be more than
hundred, so you may know how busy
we'll be trotting round to the teas and
parties.
DESIDES the epidemic for elope-
- ,nents. which seems to have hit
Philadelphla's younger set. there's n
regular deluge Of broken engagements
just now. In the last week have heard
rumors of no less than three.
Because ] have not heard Of their
breaking from the interested parties
names I never like to start gossip. YOU
know, but you'll probably hear Of them
all soon. And, incidentally, I think
the young people are to be commended
FOR breaking. if they arrive at n GER
tNinty that they are not suited to each
other. IF those who intend to marry
would sometimes think n little more
before the ceremony Of their opposite
tastes. ideas and traditions there would
be less food for divorce courts.
THE other day Jack, who is FIVE, de-
L cided upon enjoying himself in a
novel manner, So taking n magazine he
neatly rumplcd the edges and then pro-
cecded to light said edges from q nearby
box OF matches. And further, be 1t
understood. this was done in the house.
Jack put the fire out. it seems. but not

fair and demonstrated strongly. When |
father came home he was told, for |
Mother felt a few remarks from him |.
would have better effect
80 father led lack into the study |
with him and proceeded TO talk about 1t
all. lie explained very carefully that |
the matches might have set the house |
afre and might have burned every one
up. And Jack listened and then looked |
smilngly into his fathers face and |
said: but. Daddy, I'm too young to
know the difference between right and |
wrong Daddy thought that going n
bit far and proceeded to give the needed |
chastiScment.
Some days later when father was
sitting ont on the porch Jack approached .
him, holding box Of matches.
Daddy" said he, Il found these lying
round in your room. We had a little
conversation about matches the other
day, didn't we?'
