serves m e right,
the ere was to be
- some mention of the
club convention at Atlantic
City in this letter. The heat of
this week almost makes one
forget everything else but try
ing to keep cool. l should like
to go back to the GOODNESS of
the boardwalk of last week, for
it was delightful there until
Friday when you had a hot day,
too. There is always something
inspiring about large group
of people at a convention and
when you see representatives
from every state in this coun-
try of ours gathered together
you thrill to the sight of it.
Some of the Milford ladies went
to the shore on Sunday, but
Mrs. Thomas Davis and l did
not arrive until Tuesday, thus
missing DR.. Daniel Poling's ad-
dress on Mothers of Men,"
which every one considered
very excellent. did hear DR..
Thomas Parran, the Honorable
Thomas A. Dewey, Senators
Burton X. Wheeler and Claude
A. Pepper, Edward Weeks of
Of the Atlantic Monthly" and
perhaps the most colorful per-
sonality there = Viscountess
Halifax. Whether you agree
with what they say or not, you
know they are some of the fore
most personalities of today and
they command your respect and
attention. The chorus of nine
hundred OF more voices was a
thrilling sight and made an
evening of the sheerest joy to
all who heard it. Mrs. Clyde
Nelson was signally honored
when she was chosen to sing
the solo parts of the guest
Metropolitan star at the re-
hearsal. Another honor COM
ing to Delaware was the cash
award to Mrs. Helen Mckinley.
state chairman of American
Homes, for the statewide par
tieipation in Hobby Day. Mrs.
Lawrence Fitchett, chairman
for Kent county, helped gener-
ously in winning that award.
This was the Golden Jubilee of
the organization of clubs and
this fact was not forgotten.
A pageant depicting the prog
ress of women, from the timid
souls who dared to raise their
voices in the world of men to
the present day when women ,
have an equal place with them,
made an interesting evening of
history. Cordial and friendly
were all of those you met and
the memory of the convention
will stay with those attending
as long as life shall last. Sst
Home is always twice as nice
after a little vacation and on
Friday after coming through
the very worst thunder storm of
my experience in New Castle
county, 1 was indeed glad to
reach the place there is none
just like. Daylight saving time
was being considered and will
now be a fact. Awnings on my
own porch had been placed and
a number of small happenings
had transpired while 1 was
away. Interesting mail always
awaits ones return. Included
in mine was a delightful pic
ture of Mrs. Fred A. Deck and
her three boys, all of whom
were residents of Slaughter
Beach for several seasons.
Added up, these things make
homecoming delight to the
goer. OF course they are pecu-
liarly my own. All who go
away enjoy the same.
Interesting weddings have
aiken place lately. On Satur-
lay Mary Vinyard and Frank
5app were married at noon in
Houston Church, which they
nave both attended all of their
ives. Another interesting
