7 TITLE MARY MURPHY and
Ia her sister, Jean, are depart
ing this town on the seventeenth
of August for a South American
cruise, which will keep them
away nearly seven weeks. Mary,
who is a darling with the pref
tiest Irish eyes, is now working
on a new theory Of living. It is
so delightfully."- simple that 1t Is
q wonder no one has thought Of
it before, and consists Of dis
missing from your mind the
fact that your immediate pres
ence is so necessary, either to
your family or business. With
this thought, you can pack up
and go hither and yon as the
spirit or invitations move you.

T UCILLE ELLIOTT, who has
- been at Gibson Island for
several weeks, has returned with
nothing to show for her vaca-
tion, so she says, but a new crop
of freckleS and plenty Of sun
burn. The sunburn was a trifle
serious, however, Cne Saturday.
That day Lucille had spent on
the beach, thinking that because
the sun was overcast and a
breeze blowing, that all danger
of nunburn was gone.
Never has she been :uore com
)lete'v wrong in her thinking.
That night about 2 Lucille was
Is crimson as a poppy, her feet
were so burned and swollen that
she could not get one toe into
her evening sandals, and no less
than 20 of her friends from
Washington had come down to
Gibson Island for the weekend.
Well, it was the SaddeSt Situa-
lion and Lucille's weekend was
a complete flop.
TALL, dark Frances Kelly,
l. who is one of the feminine ex-
ecutives at WPA, possesses the
most intriguing ring and match
ing bar pin. The ring is rounded
and made of cloiSonne, with a
delicate hand which holds a
pearl, between the small thumb
and first finger, designed
through the center, and the
whole thing circled in heavy
gold.
Oddly enough. this ring and
pin were once cuff links, be-
longed to Frances great-great-
grandmother and were brought
from England. And, out Of the
many family heirloomS which
descended to Frances, she chose
these cuff links as her favorites.
and arranged them so that she
might wear them constantly.
DEHOBOTH BEACH, so we
~ hear. has a new fad. 1t is
very, very early morning wad-
ing in the ocean. One young
man whose initials are C. K.
got more wading than he bar
gained for early last Saturday:
A heavy wave just curled around
his feet, surged about his neck
and knocked him flat down IN
the ocean and then took him
swiftly out into deep water.
Promptly the wading party
discovered his disappearance.
Everyone of them struck out in
different directions in the ocean
to find him, only to return to
the shore and find c. K. sitting
a safe distance up on the beach
and announcing, in no uncer-
tain terms, his immediate res1g-
nation from the Wading Club.
