Keane was oh, so sporting, in
her good-looking tweeds with
brown antelope hat and acces-
sories that defied the rain.
An almost daily visitor to the
thrilling track is Mrs. James
Salkeld, who, from her care
free smile, seems to know the
magic and quite necessary for
mula. Recently she was wear
ing a becoming rust-colored
suit trimmed with nutria. With
this she wore a small brown
felt hat and matching acces-
sories.
An attractive visitor from
Detroit, Michigan, will be the

Glimpsed Mrs. Cam p b e l l
Prichett in the cocktail lounge

her usual vivacious self, laugh

She was wearing a becoming

sleeves which were heavily
beaded.
Mary Jane Stanley, on a
short leave from her studies
at college, blew into town yes,
terday to do some shopping.
She had on a smart otter coat
under which we caught a
glimpse of green crepe S h o

most unusual affair, being of
black velvet cut square and
flat and worn at the most pro-

Mrs. Joseph H. Hines, who
comes down from her farm in
Frederick too rarely to please
her hosts of friends here, did
tear herself away from lovely
old Prospect Hall one day this
week. Country life and coun-
try air seems to agree with
her, for she looked like a mil
lion dollars, wearing a stunning
gray angora suit, silver fox
furs, topped off with a dashing
little gray hat with the sauciest
feather we've seen all winter.
