As THE first of September ap-
a proaches the excitement in Cane
May grows more intense over the first
Charity Ball ever given there. In fact.
! have heard all sorts and kinds OF
rumors in regard to marvellous costumes
which are being fashioned behind closed
doors, because every one wants to have
her gown an absolute surprise. I Won
der whnt Maud Harrison, Joy Drew
Bear, Mrs. Algy Clapp and all Of them
will wear. Isn't Maud Harrison
pretty? I saw her on the boardwalk
one day last week wearing darling
frock of pink chambray. Maud has the
yellowest Of hair and bluest Of eyes, and
she has one of TIE most roSeleaf-like
(some word, compilations I ever saw.
Barbara Boyd. wl.o is at Cape May,
was wearing a perfectly stunning ging-
ham frock Of large black. brown and
yellow plaids. and it was finished with
black satin collar and cuffs. It's won.
delfully becoming to her with her
auburn hair. You know Barbara is en-
easel to Laurie Murdock.
The gingham bathing suits worn this
season seem to run to light blue and
white checks more than any other com.
h!nation. Joy Drew Bear has n very
pretty ono Of blue and white, made
plain and full and belted with a narrow
patent leather affair, while Emmy Nor
rls' who, by the way. has Just gone up
70 NarraranSett to stay with her Aunt
Eugene Wainwright. wears n blue and
white one. too. There are three narrow
rulleS OF the material around the skirt
and she also has leather belt.
WELL, you'll say. "She's off again."

those whose little boys and girls are
