1EAR FRIENDS:

anu llio dAAua4 CAO-
~ dus to summer
homes, these are busy days for
many. Not having any children
in school and not having a
summer home, can quietly sit
and look on at all the activity,
much interested, but not really
a part of it. There were many
to witness the crowning Of the
May Queen and King out at
school Friday evening and what
a lovely sight of youth and
beauty it was! Proud parents
Of the participants looked on
and probably wondered why
there were not such wonderful
events during their school
days. Then the dance that fol-
lowed brought the upper class
members together for a few
hours of fun, accompanied by
music. Each do, will bring
some activity from now until
the end of school, and all Of it
will be worth while for par
ents and pupils.
Going back to last week
again, there was the coffee at
Mordington on Thursday. It
was a wet and rainy morning,
which brought disappointment
to Mrs. Leslie March, the grac-
iOus hostess, as we'll as to her
guests, for the yard and gard
en- is very beautiful at this
time. But, when you once got
inside of the historic home all
was warmth and friendliness.
Mrs. March was assisted by her
ninety two year = old mother,
Mrs. Martha Brown. and her
sister, Mrs. Edith Scott of
Corfu, N. Y, and many of her
friends. who served yon with
. dispatch. Then you were ready
for visits, conversatiOnally,
with those from town as well
as from other yicinities, while
you admired collections of love-
ly things that make every room
beautiful and interesting. Many
came and were oblivious of the
bad weather outside. Itswas a
beautiful party.
This is Wednesday and l can
imagine the excitement that is
going through these days for
Norma Prettyman, who is a
student at Goldey-BeacOm Col
lege. You will remember that
at Christmas time Norma was
chosen to be Miss Noel for the
lovely holiday dance in Will
mingtOn. Again she has been
chosen one of four girls to be
Miss Goldey-Beacom, and the
big moment will come ticking
away Friday evening, when
the final vote will be taken. It
is an honor to be one of four,
but if she is fortunate to be the
final choice, that will really be
a crOwning event of her young
years. Pull for her in your
thoughts.
Tuesday evening Mrs. Joseph
J. Pearce, Ellen Pearce and l
went to Wilmington for the
Charter Night dinner of the
WOmen's Republican Club Of
that city. And while that was
an auspiciOus occasion in which
we were fundamentally inter
ested, our primary interest was
the prence and speech of Mrs.
Pearce's sister, Mrs. Carroll d.
KearRs of Washington, wife
of Pennsylvania's Congressman
Kearns and national president
of the Federated WOmen's Re-
publican Clubs. It was a very
ine evening in the DuBarry
Room of the DUPONT Hotel, with
Governor BOggs, Representa-
tive WarburtOn and many other
ranking political people in at
tendance, which included our
own Lillian Martin, state presi-
dent of clubs. Mrs. Kearns is
a forceful speaker, getting
across to her listeners, in a
very gracious and well poised
manner the needs of the party
for a successful election. She is
a busy person, but her courte-
BUSINESS and affability follow
through, despite the constant
pressures. making her a noDu-
