phians Nancy Wynne Comments on In
numerable Events in Society
EVERYTHING nt Newport today was a
preparation for the wonderful cntcr
' ulnment which wrts Riven nt tho home of
Mrs. Arthur Curtlan James late this after,
noon. Mr nnd Mrs. Wtllnm Tavcrsham
arrived yesterday in Newport from Now
York to tak pnrt In tho entertainment,
and Madame ollda Darty, of tho "Como
die Francalse," recited "Tho Battle of the
jfsrne" In French during tho poetry period
j the entertainment. You remember tho
affair was called "Gardens In Color,
Poetry an1 Son " Frn-nces Johnson is to
hOW her movies of tho "Flagi in Color,"
and Mrs. Waldo Richards was In charge of
the poetry and tableaux effects. Cordelia
Piddle Duko took part In one of tho
pictures and, of course, most of tho Phlla.
delphlans thero were present If not
actually a part of the performance.
THE Bobble Cassatts nro on their house
boat, tho Gadfly, nt Newport nnd wilt
jpend the greater part of the summer
there, and Tony Riddle, Jr., has arrived
na registered at tho Newport Country
dub. He and Mary nre to spend most of
the summer at the resort, too. riven
though Tony and Cordelia both live In
New York, wo still claim them ns Phlla
delphlans, and I Ruess always will, so
long as their father, of Bible-class fame,
remains in our midst.
The bathlnK beach was a great mooting
nlace on Sunday nt Newport. Mrs. Clarria
M polan Is an Inveterate bather, nnd sho
and Mix were in togoiner, nnu in,
Olfford Cochran, who was pretty Mabel
Taylor, of this city. The Craig Biddies
have also gone up to their favorite sum
mer resort, and Mrs. Blddle Is recovering
from her operation vory rapidly Sho
was on the beach on Sunday, though not
In the surf. Craig, however was sport
lng In the waves. Paulino liisston and
John Wanamaker were bathing together.
They looked deliriously happy, nnd seem
very much In love. John Is visiting tho
Dlsstons nt the villa Mrs. Disston has
leased for the season. The Larry Pauls
are also at the fashionable rosoit, nnd
Mn. Joe Wldencr and Fin. who have the
Thaw cottage on Bellevuo avenue, arrived
jesterday.
IT HAS become quite the fad this sea
son to stay In one's country homo and
send the children away."That's Just what
Mr. and Mrs. Morris Clothier aro going
to do. They aro building a beautiful new
home In Vlllanovn, which they arc over
teeing, and naturally they want to be
within sight of the carpenters and paper
hangers, who have their own notions
about decorating a house sometimes, re
gardless of tho fact that those same no.
tlons may not meet with tho ownei's ap.
proval. The Clothiers hnve taken a cot
tage at Eaglcsmcre, where they have sent
the four kiddies nnd tho governess. Mrs.
Clothier was Llllle Harnshaw, you remem
ber, and Is one of the smartest nnd most
beautifully gowned of tho younger ma
trons on the Main Line.
JOE WILKINSON, otherwise known as
Joseph Darlington Wilkinson, who has
been In the Orient for the last two years,
returned -to Germantown last week. Ills
wife was Jane Burgess, ono of the pretty
Burgess sisters, another of whom married
Lannlng Harvey, of VJJIkes-Bai re. Well,
Jane was an aident suffragist and lover
of the drama, but forsook a perfectly
good career In either cr both fascinating
pursuits and married Joe. They lived for
some time in Sydney, Australia, and in
Hongkong, too, among Other places. They
are going to settle down now In Long
Island and enjoy their own country for
awhile,
MANY people are continuing to mlgrpto
north for the summer. Mr. and Mrs
Effingham Morris left today for Watch
Hill, It. I., and Rhoda Brooke, their grand,
daughter, has gone up with them. The
Earl Putnams, of Spruce street, expect
to leave soon for Watervllle, N. Y., and
It's quite safe to say that Nancy Wynne
Cook will be nmong their visitors this
summer, as she and Alfred announced
their engagement about a foitnlght ago.
Mrs. Richard Norton will take her small
daughters to Lockport, N. Y., to visit their
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Spalding
Evans. Mrs Norton Is so pretty and
popular
Mr. and Mrs. George Munson are plan,
nlng to move into their new house at
Overbrook this week. Then they will bo
right next to Raynham. where Mrs. Town
tend'a parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph'Tovvn
send, live. The place Is named for Rayn
ham, the country place of the Townsend
family In England. There are Townsends
In New York who spell their names
Townshend, but the connection Is evident
In Doctor Townshend's first name, which
Is Raynham,
Mr, and Mrs. Joseph Pennell, he the
artist and she the authoress, will pay
Philadelphia a visit some time during
the summer. Mrs. Pennell Is really a
fhlladelphlan, you know. She was Eliza
beth Robins, a daughter of the late Mr.
Edward Robins by his first wife and a
granddaughter of the fate Thomas Robins.
She wrote a book on Philadelphia a
few years ago, which raised quite some
feeling In the minds and hearts of some
of her contemporaries, who did not re
member thlngssqulte as she did,
She is a sister or Ned' Roblps, who is
connected with the University of Pennsyl
vanla's library.
The Pennella live most of the time In
London, but pay occasional visits to
Philadelphia.

debut next winter, sings beautifully, and
now I hear thero Is a parrot In the house,

Mrs. Dayton was Miss Mary Stuart

this afternoon in Cnlvary Church,
Germantown.
when Polly Thayer was playing her vlo
Hit, tho panot, being much pleased with
her own perfoimance, refused to accept
the applauso ns sulllclcnt acknowledg

Thayer or Polly Parrot ,tho audience
was left to decide. But sho kept it up
through tho wholo musicalo, and I'm
afraid sho was holf-sceklng In her ap.

Mrs. Thayer, -by tho way. lias been
nppolnted ticasurer of Department No.
3. a committee of prominent women or
ganized as the committee for food con
servation In Pennsylvania. I told you
recently that Mis. Charles M. Lea, of
Devon, Is the chairman, and she, It seems,
Is appointing a woman to represent eacli
county in the State.
JULV days see studio doors barred and
curtains drawn. Busts of Eecthovcn,
Liszt, Wagner and "sioh" have been
carefully covered In their now mosquito
netting clothes, and tho ,tudio instru
ments have been put nway until tho fall,
and why? Because musicians of Phila
delphia are hieing themselves off In
various and vaj-ied directions.
Mr. nnd Mrs. Leopold Stokowskl of
Merlon, have opened their summer homo
at Seal Harbor, Me., whllo several bache
lor musicians, members of the musical
Art Club, have taken a house in Chel
sea; among them Edwin Evans, Fred
erlck Hahn and Paul Volkmann.
Tho Stanley Addicks, or South Thirty
sixth street, will leave today by motor for
Ogonqult. Me., where they have taken a
house with Mr. nnd Mrs. Charles Adam-
son. Mr. and Mrs Clarence K Bawden
are occupying a house In Rosemont for
July and August, and tho Sturanls are at
their home In Glen-Riddle; that is. Alberta
and the baby are, but Cesaro is still spend
lrur some time n New York. His work
there, however, will be over In a week
or so.
Miss Elsie Morris Brlnton, a contralto
as you know, of vary unusual leglster,
will spend part of the summer in Capo
May. Part of Miss Brinton's success lti
singing comes from the splendid treat
ment she gives her lungs, spending so
much tlmo In the open air, riding on
horseback several times a week through
out the year.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gordon Thunder
have taken a house in Chelsea for the
season. Tho Camllle Zeckwers are going
to Cape May and other Jersey resorts,
and Hans Klndler has arranged to visit
friends In Seal Harbor. t
Aurello JlornI has also taken a house

tho girl herself accepted tho development

suppose, safely lodged In Unglnnd," said
Dnlroy
"If Leontlne likes to marry mn first, 1 m

It was a naive confession, and every one
lauded except Joos.
"Lcontlno marries neither you nor any

"and being an Invetercte matchmaker, am

Irene blushed scarlet and dropped her ser

pily hit on a way out.
"I'm surprised at you. monsieur!" he
cried. "Look at mademoiselle, and then run
your eye over me Did ever pretty maid

Dalroy. "Who would believe that I once

Dalroy hesitated. Neither his French nor

"A quoit thrower." suggested Ireno

clear of rocks ..,..,.
Thtnceforth, for a whole day, Irenes

was miserable. Inexperienced In the ways
of the sex, he little dreamed that Irene felt
she had been literally thrown at his head
But graver Issues soon dispersed that
small cloud On Saturday. 15th August, the
thunder of guns lessened and died down,
being replaced by the far more distant and
fitful barking of field batteries. But the
rumblo on the cobbles of the main road con
tinued What need to ask what had hap
pened? Around Liege lay the silence of
death
Late that afternoon a woman brought a
note to Dalro). It bore no address. She
merely handed It to him, and hurried off,
with the furtive air of one afraid of being
asked for an explanation It An:
"Dear Friend Save yourself and the oth

of the whole Belgian valley of the Mouse,
