a very large one. There will be four

TIVE never seen anybody quite as pop
l ular as Kitty Porter. Really. l
think she beats all records for the
number Of times she has been a brides
maid. First. she was one for Paulina
Bell. who married her cousin, Jack
Whelen. about two years ago: then she
was in Libby Strubing Gamers wedding
party last October: after that she was
q bridesmaid for Sarah Harrison, who
married Phil Price in June.
In that same month she was brides
maid for Mrs. Walter Pew, who was
Hannah Elliott. and then. as If that
wasn't enough, this fall she will assist
at Helen Sewell and Henry Coxe's
wedding on September o, and at Cor
nelia Rankin and Alfred Hunters on
October 7. Now I ask you Imagine
the number Of bridesmaids dresses and
hats she must have.
Just now Kitty Is up at Northeast.
and aunt. Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Balm.
and two weeks ago she was in the finals
Of the tennis tournament up there. She
is an awfully good player.
WELL. I've just heard rumors Of an
w other engagement which Is sched-
uled to be announced this fall that
makes the third engagement by now.
You remember the other two I spoke OF
several days ago. This one is most eX-
citing. il 1t is true. and ! am inclined
to think it Is. The girl, who came out
two years ago. is one of the prettiest
and most popular girls in Philadelphia
and the man is equally nice. When II
Is announced, it ought to cause quite
a stir. but you'll have to wait until
then to hear any more.
7 SAW Margah Toogood in town the
other day. She has fair hair and
blue eyes and she was most becomingly
dressed in light green chambray dress
with white collar and cuffs. and a
black hat Of rough straw trimmed on
either side with tiny little pink rose
buds. She is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ernest Toogood and is engaged
to Bromley Flood. NANCY WYNNE.
