yyscrfectly good new clothes to see. Inc

tne ,ne old frocks they had before their

~ new ones besides. It's u sort Of let

mo longer the cynosure OF all eyes. and,

Of their utter relief because it's all

tts practice is growing. Every year
ths-e are more and more parties for
thsm and fewer for girls Of a year or
two Two years' vintage. Why, II girl
comes out at. seventeen, as many Of
them do these days, she's on the shelf
before she's twenty.
That's why SO many are going into
the business world; many who do not
need to make money, but who feel that
they must have something definite to
do.
AND now let's 60 back to clothes.
Al see Mrs. John B. Thayer, Jr.,
and Peggy are home from their various
visits in Bar 'Harbor, Newport and
other Northern resorts. Mrs. Thayer
was at the tennis one day wearing a
stunning frock of oyster white crepe
romaine and a large black hat trimmed
with water lilies. Peggy's frock was of
royal blue crepe de chine. and with 1t
che wore a large white picture hat.
I saw Emma Norris, too. another day.
Emma Is in the sub deb class this sea
son, as she will make her debut next
year. She has lately returned from
Narragansett Pier, where she stayed
with her uncle and aunt. Mr.. ,and Mrs.
Clement Reeves Wainwright.
Incidentally. Mrs. Wainwright and
Emma won in the doubles at the tennis
tournament held on the Tuesday after
Labor Day at Point Judith Country
! Club. They were victorious over Mrs.
John Lowber Welsh, Jr., and Kitty
Brinton. Mrs. Wainwright and Emma
took part in the tennis at the Phila-
delphia Cricket Club this week. Emma
has grown very tall lately. She is fair,
like the Dixon family (of which her
mother Is the only daughter whose hair
Is dark and she has blue eyes. She
was wearing a frock Of gray crepe
romaine the other afternoon. and her
hat was soft felt model of the same
color. trimmed with pheasant on brim,
the latter being turned back off the face.
Emma mothe was Miss Elnmie Dixon,
q daughter " Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Dixon
and sister Of Mrs. John Pagan. Mrs.
Henry. Carvill Lewis. Mrs. Wainwright
and Margaretta and FRAZIER Dixon.
7 AN sure that every one must have
I been very much shocked, as I was,
Yesterday to hear Of the sudden death,
IN Boston on Tuesday night, of Mrs.
Hollinshead W. Taylor. Mrs. Taylor
was motoring down from Northeast
Harbor with her son in law and
daughter. Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Neidhard
Martin, and was apparently In perfect
health: When they reached Boston
Mrs. Taylor was taken suddenly III
with heart attack and died at 8
o'clock that evening. Mrs. Taylor was
the grandmother of Evelyn Martin.
