SWSiSp vm'"toi$&mr I55i .-- ,wviii.f-w---'T'ir "SY EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1919 9 tW? v KSr GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE Cape May Is Itself Again-r-Rcd Mill Opened Last Night. Damage Done to Broivning Home in Devon During Windstorm Debutantes of the Suburbs WELL, that fnmous wager thnt wns supposed to linvc lipid tip tlio dancing at the Hed MM the other night nt Cape May must have been ninn than that. You get me. don't you? For what with days and days of rain nn.l the fight on at the Hed Mill every one down there waa nbont wild. Such n thine had never happened before, nnd ovcry one says if St. Swlthln had any thing to do with It they rertalnly wnrn him or her to keep Ills or her finger out of the pie hereafter. Anyway, whoever was to blame about the lied Mill, it was n shnine to "piek on" a rainy week to close it. And also, anyway, it's all over now, both the vnin nnd the closed lied Mill, because It (the R. M.) opened Inst night with a new orchestra. Cheero ! That's where the 1 trouble began nnd let us hope it's ended I Certainly every one danced their "fool feet" off last night to ninkc tip for the "closed" state of last week nnd to let off excess energy. Most of this was cnmiiHinieated to me by the wee "sand Ilea" I told you nbout down there. It also snid that it went to the movies the other night nnd it wns nlmost as mnd as the rest of the nudicnee, but having been a boy itself once, it was a bit amused and reminis cent of those days. Ho that ns it may, this is what hap pened: The movie wns a real thriller, the kind that 1ms nn unexpected mur der always turning up, so to speak, as it were. Well, two small bojs who had evidently spent their la,t dimes to get in decided to have their full mono 'a worth before they got out, and so, they sat through the thriller three times. Just before the lion jumped out un expectedly from the bushes one would announce in a loud tone: "Now, now, watch him! Here's where he kills that man!" (which no one had suspected). Then a little Inter when the pretty heroine was camping around, one, in a piping voice exclaimed: "Now, watch, now's when that man is going to shoot her." And the snnd flea said "every one around would have cheerful' shot those two kidlets, for they never niKscd a tiick, nor did they let any one in the audience, and the whole movie was told iu detail before it actually happened on the screen." Or COrnSn we nil heard nbout the time there wns out on the Mnin Line on Tuesdny when that young hur ricane struck Devon, but I did not realize how strong thnt wind was till I rode past Mrs. George Hrowniug's house, high up on the hill there ; you see it from Devon station, you know. My dears, most of the porch was blown off nnd eleven pillnrs knocked down ; nnd they tell me that one of the family hav ing told the little sister to close one of tlie winnows ipsu.it,, "- '". " " nfter her. arriving in the door o smu , room just in time to sec Little Sister blown out of the window. Fortunately she was not hurt. I don't know how- true that is, but that's what every one ts snvlmr nbout it. At any rate my own eyes told me of J the damage. Why, there wns not a sum mer bouse nor a trellis left standing on tlie Browning plnce. I never would have dreamed that so much damage could be done in so short a time, for the wind lasted not five minutes. HAVE you noticed how many debu tantes there nre to be from Villa -nova this Beason? Why, there's n per fect nest of them ! l'mily Clothier, whose debut is to be on Wednesday, October 1; Antoinette ftcyclin, who is to come out in November ; Helen Hope Wilson, who made her debut on the 21st of June, nnd Marie Louise Hepburn whose tea was on June 28. AND then further up the line, take . Devon. There'll be Sarah Dolan nnd Anita Bvans and Edith Hutchinson from there, and from Rosemont Ger trude Conaway. Tlrt! Main Line nnd Chestnut Hill will vie with each other in the production of debs. Hala will be busy this winter, too, with Helen Strawbridge and Esther Rhoades, both debutantes from there, while Chestnut Hill will have Lorraiue Disston, Mnry Appleton, Mnrgaretta Sharpless, Celes tlne Warder, Margaret Graham, Rosnlie Johnson, Mabel Held, Nannie Dnle, Florence Griffith, Mary Goodman, n cousin of Mary Appleton and on and on; and, when it comes to debutantes from town, I just simply can't begin to tell thenAll. Some winter ! SHE wns n dignified-looking womnn dressed in n smart brown frock, nnd she approached the telephone exchange in the West Philadelphia station and asked for a number. While she was waiting a young naval officer came up and asked for his number. She gnzed at him lazily and then interest nwnkened in her eyes and she smiled nnd bowed nnd he immediately returned ner Saluta tion. Thev stood there and he finally snid "Still in Philadelphia?" And she snid - hurriedly "Ye-es, oh! yes," and just then the operator said "In number six. please," and she fled to the booth. I saw her out on the pavement afterward talking to a gentleman as they waited for n taxi, nnd ns she called him "dear" I trust it was her husband, nnd she " was saying, "You know, dear, I wish that cashier at your office and the nco Ivtc nt church did not look so much alike, because I never know which Is who and I just saw n naval officer who looked so much like both of them I thought I knew him and spoke to him until he said, 'Arc you still in Philadel phia? and then I knew I did not know him because where .filse would I be? And'her hifsband laughed nnd laughed. A NANCY WYNNE. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES Mrs. Joseph E. Widcner entertained ntluncheon yesterday at Fairlawn, her place In Newport.
