IT'S dandy for the Bakers to have
| Juliona come on for visit. is it not ?
ArJ I saw the Bakers advisedly. too, for
.hsre are three here at present. Rachel
having got home last week from her
cboneroning trip through Europe. She
and her mother. Mrs. Louis G. Baker,
and another sister. Mrs. John G. Bell,
To- constituting enough members of the
fsst diminishing number of Bakers to
nnt il in the plural. Think Of that
family of six girls all growing up to-
eetber. and in five years time five of
them married. leaving only Mrs. Baker
snd Rachel at home. They certainly
ors fascinating girls. With the cxcep-
, tion OF Sarah, who married Jack Bell
md lives here, the other four all mar
lied men from St. Paul. St. Louis and
San Antonio. That in itself gives the
family much occupation. hOwever--every
one has so much ira Yelling to do to see
the others.
Julana came on just week ago and
Il staying with Sarah at Cape May, and
she looks very stunning. She was wear
ing a dark blue frOck of satin and an
exquisite rose colorcd hat embroidered
In blue when saw her.
NRETONNE frocks are still the rage,

blue roses are twined over it. The

wonder. Anita has wonderful large dark
eyes. Libby Boyd and Dorothy Haxall
we're wearing crctonnes on the beach
the other afternoon. Libby has been
up at Montrose. staying with Eloise
Warriner, and went back to the shore
just last week.
DHILADELPHIANS who are iu
Newport jamestown and Narra-
eansett. TO say nothing of Saunders
town. which. by the way. is a mighty
nice resort. too. are all interested in
the pageant Mrs. Howard Spencer
Graham is in charge Of. and which Is to
be held tomorrow. You know Laura
Biddle is to be the leading lady in the
tabeaux. and Catherine Morris, the
versatile and talented daughter of the
harrison ;. Morrises. is to dance aud

ciation of Newport. and it is "The
Viking. Imagine Laura as the Vik-
ings lady. Won't she be supcrb? She's
10 tall and willowy and has an exquisite
complexion and fine carriage.
JOHNNIE had been playing hard all
u afternoon. In fact. he and two other
boys had gone up in the woods to the
creek, and they had bathed and padded
about to their hearts content But
such dolngs are not conducive to n good
appearance when the time for supper
arrives. Johnnie. however. was appar-
entity, vel washed and brushed at the
appointed time. But sister Mary had
happened upon the muchly soiled small
ooys as they wended their way home
lnat afternoon. and she had her sus-
plclons about the necessary bath, for
only ten minutes had elapsed before
supper time. And so she said to John
ME in low and confidential tone: "Did
you really take n good wash, Johnnie?"
