NEW CENTURY CLUB

Undaunted by the disagreeable
weather on Monday, Mrs. A. D. War
ner, beloved of club women, came
down from Wilmington, and gave
the high lights of her trip to Iceland
and the Scandinavian Peninsula,
which she made last June in COM
pany with Miss Annie Jump Cannon
Miss May Shary and Dean Winifred
/ Robinson. The occasion which en-
ticed these ladies to Iceland was the
one thOusandth anniversary of the
founding of their Parliment, in other
words their law making body. PeO-
pie from all lands were there, and
thus together with new lands, new
scenes, new customs, new friends,
travel and this visit was made un-
usually pleasant for this congenial
quartette. Iceland has been thought
of in the terms that its name implies,
but Mrs. Warner said that their June
was much like our October, and was
very pleasant, the celebration taking
place out of doors. Contrary to eX-
pectatiOnS Iceland has boiling
springs, they being phenomena
that was particularly interesting 10
the visitors. WOman's position in
Iceland, was of natural interest to
Mrs. Warner, and it was gratifying
to find her advancing there is all
walks of life as well as in all other
parts of the world. Leaving Iceland
the itinerary took them to Norway,
Sweden and Denmark, of which Mrs.
Warner told of interesting incidents.
One thing of especial interest that
she told was, that Denmark was the
best educated country in the world.
She brought her talk to a close by
accentuating the value of travel and
the need of friendships
rather than battleships to bring
about a Ethiopian existance. Pur-
chases which Mrs. Warner made |
while away, peculiar to the cOun-
tries she visited, were on display |
and caused much favorable COM I
ment as to color and workmanship.
Mrs. Beniah Watson, of Dover, was
present and greeted the members in .
her usual happy manner. Mrs. Wat
son is always Il welcomed visitor

Next Monday is Business and So

SPRING FROLICS =.

1t is possible that we will have a
little social activity before house
cleaning claimed the attention of
all. These times for, what the men
call "the upheaval" will come around
and all too soon, for the most of us.
Easter being happily back of us,
one begins to look for the lovely
spring days when parties and a place
to go are so delightful. Next month
the 14th and 18th to be eXact-will
find visitors from all over the State
heading for Milford. The State Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs will meet
here. There will be little time for
parties, but it will be pleasant to
see so many new faces and to make
some new acQuaintances. MilfOrd's
renown for hospitality goes before
her, and this will be just another Op-
portunity to live up to the fame that
is here.

NEW YORK, Sept. livery
IN now and then I think that a
man should put on his hat, leave
the flat flat and get out and get
under the sun. Understand, I am
not any press agent for the sun
but after all, once in a while one
should be a man about such things
and brave its horrible rays.
So Thursday I met party named Ed
Anthony and the first thing I know we
are sitting in the east stands at Forest
Hills watching group of earnest young
men batting a little white ball back and
forth across the net.
Mr.. Anthony is the gentleman who
wrote that charming little bed time story
Bringing EN- Back Alive which is
the tale of Frank Bucks adventures while
capturing wild animals and Brooklyn out
fielders. Mr.. Anthony is what is known
as a master craftsman in this silly trade
of writing and the brave fellow has a
novel or two, book of poems and numer-
Gus other literary extravaganzas to his
credit. But the guy, who apparently is
normal otherwise, is nuts on tennis.

while sitting there minding my own bust

lady's parasol out of my remaining good
eye.
All unconsciously, I voice some OF my
thoughts and Mr.. Anthony gets very in
dignant. Mr.. Anthony is a gentleman who
should have literary caulihower ears from
his many years of ghost writing. He
should be bowed over from bending over
typewriters of all sexes and ages.
It might be mentioned in passing that
Mr.. Anthony. who is one of Gene Tunney's
best little playmates. is not fellow whom
you would expect to go overheard on any
thing like tennis. You might see him at
a ringside or at one of those evil places

The Philadelphia proved he was
gamester Of the highest order
when, after losing the first two sets
to Johnny Van Ryn Thursday, he
came back with tremendous surge
to run out the next three sets. His
comeback was all the more remark
able in the light of Van Ryn's per-
Torrance in the two sets he won.
Johnny simply blasted Lott off the
court with an assortment of shorts
that was almost unbelievable in &C
curcy and power.

young British internationalist. Vines
showed he was on top of his game
