"A NITA, or Nco, strawbridge is
"A having n lovely time this summer.
She Is staying up in Newport with her
cousins, Mr.. Ned Berwind and Miss
Julia Berwind. The family is in
mourning, you know, so there is not
mich entertaining, but they will not
lot "Neo' stay in mourning long, and
she is therefore accepting invitations
ond going about quite a bit. Mr.. Ber-
winds wife died about year ago. you
remember. and Neo's grandmother. the
iotc Mrs. Charles Berwind, died about
three months ago.
Mrs, Bob Strawbridge, Neo's mother.
was Miss Anita Berwind, n sister Of
t'rcderica Berwind. who first married
charlie Gilpin and later, one Of the
IIarjcs and lives now in Paris. An
other sister married a German baron.
but has been divorced from him since
the war. Mrs. Strawbridge Is consd-
cred the most beautiful Of the three
sisters, but find it hard to say which
think handsomest myself. They are
all three stunning; that's sure. They
are cousins of the Harry Berwinds, Of
tbis city. Mrs. Strawbridgc has gone
IN 10 Narragansett for the polo. Her
husband and son are both devoted
players, you know. and polo is decid-
edly the thing these two weeks in Mar
ragansctt.
vTHE Tom Newhalls are scheduled to
l. be on their way home from Europe
this week, and / for one will be glaf
70 see Mrs. Newhall again. She Is so
attractive and wears such wonderful
clothes. After being in Paris she'll
have more wonderful ones than ever.
The Newhalls have n delightful place
ut THAN, with a sunken garden and
pool.
places are too charming for anything.
And the bird baths! Have you watched
the birds bathing? ] saw large black
bird the other day pcrched on one side
Of the concrete basin in the garden
and tiny wren on the other. The wren
was looking severely at the blackbird,
with its wee head cooked on one side ns
~ defying him to come near. And the
blnckbird hcsitatcd moment and then
took a chance and made leap into
the basin with such splash that the
wren was all covered with water. Once
in, that blackbird took one of the most
thorough baths I ever saw and would
not get out till he was good and ready.
CPFAKING Of the Tom Ncwhalls re-
- minds me that the Dan Newhalls
will havo n dcbutante in their family
this year. Not daughter, but niece,
for Anne Townsend, daughter of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Ralphi Townsend,
lives with them, you know. Mrs. Dan
Newhal was Ellen Godfrey and Mrs.
Ralph Townsend was her sister, Daisy
Godfrey, quite one the handsOmest
women Philadelphia ever had to boast
Of She and her husband died within
a few months of each other, leaving
Anne an orphan ut an early age. She
Is a very attractive girl and will doubt
less have number Of parties given in
been at boarding school in Virginia for
several years, but l am told her rela-
tivcs have decided to introduce her
this season.
The Dan Newhalls live out at Merton.
Tom. Dan, Mrs. O'Bricn and Mrs.
Selfridgc are the children of the late
Daniel Newhall, who was one of the
officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad
and one of the famous Newhall cricket
ers Of more than II quarter of CEN
tury ago. Mr.. Dan Newhall was the
only member Of the family to move
to the Main Line. the others all set
Ting in and about Germantown and
Chestnut Hill. Mr.. Charles Newhall,
who is living now in New York State
and whose first wife was Miss Phoebe
Willing, is the sole survivor of that
family Of brothers.
TNIIE family decided to go to the
l. movies for the early performance, as
the nurse was Sout for the afternoon,
and Ellen could rot be put to bed and
left alone in the apartment. 1t was a
very solemn movie, even the elders in
the party felt bit depressed, and,
somehow, the funny" was not espe-
cially mirth provoking-altogether, it
was II weary evening. AS they were
walking home and talking things over
after the show, Ellen gave her opinion,
too. She is eight years old and has
opinions, and said she: "When l was
little, that picture would have made me
cry" NANCY WYNNE.
