GIRL ABOUT
TOWN
BY MARILYN-

I met Mrs. Koehl Tuesday aft
ernoon! She was at the Wood
stock playing golf. Helen Fleischer
was having a luncheon for Miss
Marian Rombauer of st. Louis, who
was paying her flying visit en-
PEASANT from the Derby. We we're
just finishing our cigarets when
somebody said: There goes Mrs.
Koehl-want to meet her?" And
we swarmed.
She is a sturdy, healthy young
person with lovely vivid coloring
and an alert, intelligent face. Her
hair is cut in the most extreme boy
ish bob I ever saw and she wore a
white sleeveless sport dress very
short, above her knes, trimmed in
a narrow red and blue binding.
She had just finished a golf game
and was declaring her enthusiasm
for the game in a whirl Of German
and English which was only occa-
sionally understandable as to actual
words but unmistakable as to in
tent.
I couldn't help but contrast the
slim hipleSS silhouettes of the eight
American girls about her with her
short robust little figure. We must
have reminded her of nothing SO
much as string beans! I felt like
taking a drink of straight nuXated
iron after I saw her wonderful
natural complexion.
From this point the weeks pre-
gram gets complicated. The Tudor
Hall bridge party is Wednesday aft
ernoon at the Propylaeum, and the
chairman, Mrs Morris Floyd, pre-
diets a successful afternoon.
Today Mrs. Franklin Vonne-
gut and Mrs. David Foster are hav-
ing luncheon bridge at Mrs. Von-
negut's home, 4011 N. Pennsylvania
st. And Saturday evening is the
last party of the season of the
Bare Knees at the Woodstock, which
is a dinner dance.
Had a note from Mrs. John OAR
mody from Prague, Czechoslovakia.
From all of that she goes to Ores
den and then on to Berlin.
Mrs. Mark Pangborn leaves to-
day for Washington, D. c., to
be the guest of her sister, Mrs.
Frank Jelleff, for ten days.
And Amelia Henderson's engage
ment ring! NY eye! It's a gorgeous
thing-a square cut single diamond
in plain platinum band with two
small oblong diamonds on either
side Stunningly severe.

THEIR LETTERS

Darling Nom:
Don't worry about Pede. I'm
watching that bimbo like a hawk.
He's too innocent to be true.
There wasn't a hint of any change
in his manner toward me at lunch.
At first I thuoght everything was
the same as before his encounter
with Norman, but on second
thought don't see how he could
expect to take up our friendship
just where it was when I dropped
it.
was very careful not to give
him a chance to open up on the
subject of his affections. In fact
I told him frankly that I didn't in
tend to accept any more invita-
tons from him. But this once,
said, was just to tell him how sor-
ry was that my boy friend had
been so brash as to start some
thing in the street.
He said he would be pleased to
meet my "mucharcho" on the field
Of honor any time. "Muchacho, -
I gathered. is Spanish Tor boy"
Well, got a great idea from his
remark. I'll tell you about it if it
comes to anything.
After lunch, he wanted me to
go for a drive with him, but I fear
ed he wouldn't take seriously my
decision not to see him again if 1
did, so I let him buy me a lovely
bunch of gardenias and send me
to where I wanted to go in his car.
I went to Shirley'S.
You should have seen her eyes
pop open when I told her to look
opt of the window and she saw
the car. Then I went down and
sent the driver away. I had told
him when I went in to wait for me.
1 wanted Shirley to see Pede's
car because she's always boasting
about the imported car she rides
in. was too excited to notice at
first that she had a bandage on
her head. I thought it was a ban
deau because she had a ribbon over
the gauze.
1t seems she got a frightful blow
on her head while riding with this
boy friend who drives the foreign
car. About two weeks ago she went
out with him and he wanted to get
to a certain inn before it closed.
Shirley says she begged him to slow
up but he wouldn't do it. They hit
bump and she was thrown against
the top of the car and knocked I'M
conscious.
Her father says he's going to sue
Ted, that's the boy. Must close now
and write a note to Michele.
Dearest love,
MARYE.

the leafy mall leading to Bucking-

There, in the early evening, they
had to withstand the gazes and
finger pointing of curious crowds of
ordinary Londoners. In many
cases girls stood on the running
boads of the cars so they could get
closeup views.
After an hour or two, each wait
ing car reached the palace court
yard. The debutantes were ushered
inside and eventually up to the
throne room.

Sooner or later they adjourned
to an adjoining room for refresh-
ments, and the King and Queen
joined them there. After a willie,

liked, most of them direct to photo-
