Tuesday evening Mrs. Herman
johnson entertained her Satur-
day Bridge Club and the Mon
day Bridge Club. In a gay mo-
ment the members agreed that
we should have a bridge tourna-
ment No one present knew
much about the conduct Of a
contest Of that kind, but shortly
one Of the ladies' will md out all
about 1t and the tournament will
be on. No money or prizes will
be involved, but just pleasant
entertainment and fun. Mrs.
johnson, very delightful hos
tess. made all welcome at her
home and the evening came to
the eleventh hour without the
knowledge OF the guests. To-
morrow a number Of ladies from
town win be the guests of Mrs.
Thomas Bright at her home in
Claymont. Mrs. Bright is the
sister of Mrs. Thomas Simpson
and because Of her frequent
visits here has made many
friends, some OF whom she will
entertain at luncheon tomor-
row Thursday. They are be-
side Mrs. Simpson, Mrs. Robert
C. Hall. Mrs. M. Haswell Pierce.
Mrs. Herman Johnson, Mrs. Ray
Warren, Mrs. William Hallett,
Mrs. Carl Allen, Mrs. Paul Feni-
more and Mrs. William d. Wat
son, of Dover. Should this lovely
weather continue, the day win
be perfect for the trip and the
laneheeh. Several from town
have visited the LongwoOd
Gardens within the past few
days and enjoyed the glory of
the azaleas and the rhOden-
drcns. they never seemed to be
more beautiful. It always SEEM
ed to me that any person, giving
so much pleasure, to so many
people, must be particularly
blessed with the thought of Civ
ing and the satisfaction of hav-
ing released folks for a time
from the worries and cares of
the day. The sunshine that
comes through the glass and the
foliage OF the fiOWerss making
lovely patterns in shadows, the
qnietness of the place. and the
perfume that peryades the at
mosphere. seems a glimpse of
heaven, as one lady puts it.
Gardens here are beautiful. too.
As look out OF my office win
dow, taking time out from this
letter to you, the pink dogwOOds
in the garden Of Mrs. Saunders
TrHitt give me such a thrill. I
want to be nearer to enjoy them
all the more. II is almost time
now for the ANNUAL garden par
ty which Mrs. Truitt gives to the
children OF one section of the
third grade. / must tell you one
more thing and then give you a
release from the reading Of this
long letter. Richard Browning.
