ft; '- x' EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1914) 11 n It JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE Nancy Wynne Tells of the Doings of Yesterday She Tells of the Recovery of Mrs. Dallas Dixon, Jr. Mr. Hirst Better TWO SUB-DEBUTANTES K i rpOWN was perfectly dead yesterday but for tnc ceiCDrnuons 01 ' pendence Hall and a fcw'pnradrs. There .were very few fireworks In the early part of the day and most of those who have not yet moved out of town for the slimmer spent the day in the country, riding, motoring or playing golf and tennis. The Henry Brlnton Coxes party at Penllyn was n beautiful affair. You know they never send out invitations, but they expect all of their friends about the country to go and there are usually a hundred or more guests. Catherine Coxe in certainly very pretty. She is smaller than Ilutli, who was a belle in her debutante enr, and Catherine will be one of the belles of the Maun, I make little doubt, for she is charming, attractive, clever nnd always dresses well. She hns. beautiful features and a dear roseleaf complexion. There are to be lots of entertainments for her. A New Year's Eve ball is already planned by Mr. nnd Mm. Coxe nnd there will be numerous other parties. Catherine is the youngest girl in the family, though in a year or two her cousin, Jane Coxe, the daughter of the Charles K. Coxes, will he ready to make her bow to society. Last night nt l'enllyn they had dancing on the lawn and ilrcworks and supper, nud every one had a wonderful time. A great many pcoplo around l'enllyn gave dinners before the recep tion and went over to the Coxes in a crowd. It was "altogether a most at tractive affair. T'S alwa.s nice to be able to give good news, and today I heard that Mrs. Dal Dixon, Jr., is entirely recov ered from her very severe Illness and has left the hospital and gone to her new home in Ardmorc. You know Dal had just gotten bark' from overseas when Mrs. Dixon was taken desperately ill, and so they were not able to move into their house, ns they had hoped, in May. In fact, for sonic days it was very doubtful about her recovery. Mrs. Dixon was Miss Agnes Oroomc. a daughter of Colonel nnd Mrs. John C. Groome, and sister of Mrs. Lclnml Thompson, of Troy, X. 1., and of .lack Uroomo, wno married Gladys Teague, of Augusta. A XD while on the subject of recov- ii cries" I hear that Billic Hirst is getting along even better than they had hoped and will probably be able to be moved to Spring Lake about the middle of the month. Mrs. Hirst nnd the chil dren have already moved down there, though Mrs. Hirst spends most of her time in trains, coining up nearly every other day to see her husband and going back to be with the children at night. CHRIS IIAGEX, who is a cousin of Billie Hirst's, has taken a cottage r.t Cape May this bummer. Mrs. Hngen, who was Sylvia Fnssitt, was quite ill in the spring, but is better now,, nnd they were able to move to Cape May this week. They have the dearest children, all boys and ns cute as can be. TnE Pnnconsts have gone down to Cape May and they tell me that Pansy Scott has been smiling ever since. She 'and Polly are inseparable, you know. It seems to run in the Scott nnd Pnnconst? families, does it not? Do you rememben how deadly in timnte Petty Scott nnd Gertrude Pan coast were the year they came out? Betty Scott is now Mrs. Walton Clark. She is a cousin of Pansy's nnd Tolly nnd Gertrude Pnncodst are sisters. Pansy Scott is n sister of Nancy and Arabella, who married Joe Sims and Allen Hunter, respectively. Al the Scott girls are Wonderfully pretty. Pansy and Polly, the inseparables, are noted for their ever-present smiles. DID you ever hear anything like the number of small tennis tournaments that arc being given lately at people's private places? The Billic Clothiers gave one last Sunday, the Isaac.Clo thiers gave one nt their wonderful nlace. Sunnvbrook. yesterday, and Mrs. Ralph Earlc and Mrs. Edmund Thayer gave one nt the Merion last week, while the Herbert Pells gave one yesterday at their place in Devon. Mrs. Henry S. Jennes is giving one this afternoon at her place in Devon, They are quite the rage. You go in flannels nnd white shirts and skirts and you play and play and then in the cool of the late afternoon you have wonder ful cooling eats, iced tea and orange ade and luscious salads and sandwiches, and altogether it's some party. WE WENT out'to Willow Grove on Wednesday evening, nnd ns long ns I live I shall not forget what hap pened there, for I laughed until I was too exhausted to move. Wc were walk ing along, Nancy and another girl whom wc will call Sara, and several men, and ' mddeulra man, a perfect stranger, who was walking in front of us stooped over to tie his Bhoc-lace', and without a word of warning over ills back went Sara and landed on her chin. If you could have seen it as I did you would never be the same. The man was horribly embar rassed and much concrened, and poor Sara, even though her chin was quite badly scraped, laughed and roared until the tears came in her eyes At NANCY WYNNE L.

The geologists won't commit them selves. They say that the evolution of the earth is slower than molasses in January, and which btage Philadelphia reached just 200,000 jenrs ago they hesitate to admit. Dr. Samuel (!. Gor don, of the Academy of Natural Sciences nnd associate editor of the Mineraloprcal Journal, said that the question should be made more compre hensive, like: What might the country in the vicinity of Philadelphia have looked like if there was country above the surface of the Silurian sea ; if there was such a sea during the period of not less than fiOO.OOO years that ended 200, 000 years ngo.
