that il I ever got through the sixth
grade they wouldn't catch me COM
ing back to school any more.

book again. That I was going into
another room where / could sew in
stead of worrying over foolish old
problems. had always liked to sew
and you ought to see the pretty
things 1 started II aking right away.

apron for my mother and two ging-
ham dresses for the school teachers.
I love to go to school now. wouldn't
quit for anything"

these princesses, Maud, younger
daughter Of the Princess Royal, and
Lady Mary Cambridge, niece OF the
queen, were bridesmaids at the we'd

Lady May Cambridge, the sixteen
year-old daughter of the Earl and
Countess of Athlone, will be the
third princess to attend the bride.
Another of Princess Mary's brides
maids, Lady Doris Gordon-Lennox,
so the gossips say, will also be IN the
wedding party at the coming royal
nuptials.
Among the other young women of
the aristocracy who, one hears, VIII
be similarly honored. are to be at
least two daughters of Scottish peers.
Lady Mary Fox Strangeways and
Lady Katherine Hamilton, daughter
of the Duke of Abercorn, also are
mentioned as likel. selections.

WOMEN PLAY

lONE of the seasons surprises was
~ sprung Mt the North End course
last Tuesday, when the darlington
women's team defeated their sisters
of the Seattle Golf club, by IS 70
ii score, in the first half of their
annual home.and.home fixture. The
North Enders were weakened by
the absence OF Miss Phebe Nell
Tidmarsh. but. otherwise, both clubs
were at full strength and the result
was in doubt until the last match
was finished. A victory on the
Seattle Golf club course is quite a
feather in the cap of any visiting
team.
