the northern woods are beat
country is the real Paul Buny
know, but this column didn
Diary figure up there who peri
It also seems that one is to
believe from the folk tales that
Bunyan's blue oxen team left all
the tracks that form the hun
dreds of lakes dotting the coun-
try and that he, alone, cleared all
the land of trees in a single day.
The Wheeler Sammons are also
up there and gave a "muSkey"
dinner for the CummingseS. A
''muskey" is the most marvellous
fish of the lakes and this par
ticular ''muskey" weighed 35
pounds and was 81 inches long.
The proper name for this fish
is MuSkellunge, and any one
caught weighing less than 20
pounds is entirely ignored by all
MinocquiahS. The CummingseS
have not felt any of the torrid
heat which descended upon US,
for every day they have open
fires in the cottage and plenty
of blankets for the evenings.
The CummingSeS are consider
ing a return home via Canada.
Frankly, we wish they would
consider coming home, right
away,
VIRGINIA DORSEY, lovely
' tall brunette and daughter
Of the Walter r. Dorseys, who
will be married to John Law
renee Herbert on the 26th of
August, is wearing the most gor.
geous engagement ring. A single
square cut diamond slightly
smaller than a carriage lamp
and set deeply in an intricately
carved setting.
0TELLA AKIN, attorney in the
Department of Justice, GER
tainly thinks nothing Of a few
hundreds of miles for a week
end. She departed on the Pan.
American Clipper last Friday,
had the most delicious luncheon
aboard, dined at the Belmont
Manor Hotel that night and was
back in Washington and in her
apartment, at 6, Sunday. Well.
MRS. WALTER WATSON
W1 just got back in town
(praise be, a few people are
coming bacD from a house
party in Plainfield, New Jersey,
and a few other stops on the
Jersey shore and is so tired that
she intends taking a vacation
If one week in her own house
md refuses to see anyone.
TOBY WING, movie star, has
L a new idea for sun glasses,
lr so we we're told. Toby wears
hem at 10 O'Clock at night, or
lid when she stopped off the
plane at the Airport here. Sun
day night, just long enough to
get a coca cola.
MADGE COTTER, who al
IVA ways looks as smart as
paint in all her clothes, IS wear
ing one of the best looking bath
ing suits in town, all white and
fashioned of the heaviest silk.
MRS. TOMMY" TOMPKINS,
WA who likes to wear flowers
in her dark hair for evenings,
Is using two small white Gala
lilies, as her favorite effect just
now. She also VOWS that the
Gala lilies come right out Of her
own garden at CheSterbrook. A
garden, by the way, which Mrs.
TompkinS has done all by her
self and extremely well.
THERE is a certain young
l. man in this town whose
initials are B. R., who, if a GER
tain, very annoyed young
woman ever gets hold of him,
will doubtless be Strangled to
death. For the other late morn
ing, this young woman's phone
rang, waking up her entire fam
lily at a most unearthly hour and
she was informed that her call
to Virginia Beach had been COM
pleted.
Having made no call to Vir-
ginia Beach and being involved
in explanations to the family,
she couldn't quite make sense of
anything. However. the next day,
she checked and discovered that
the aforementioned B. r. had
called to Virginia Beach and
told them that he would take
the call at a certain number.
The number was the young
lady's house and, of course, the
whole thing was a nice, practical
joke. But, is she on the war
path-and how.
