It would be hard to find a more attractive “pinch hitter” than Mrs. Sibley, the delightful wife of the president of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Mrs. Sibley maintains that Mrs, Margaret Culkin Banning, in introducing her, completely forgot to mention the fact that her only claim to fame is the fact that she has five children and six grandchildren. This was a shock and surprise to many of the listeners— it hardly seems possible, Mrs. Sibley looks so young. Much interest centered about the presence of Dorothy Thompson, wife of Sinclair Lewis. She was dressed in a very smart black tailleur and a snappy hat with a green feather. Mrs. Frederick M. Paist, sister of the former Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, was looking particularly chic, all in blue and white, and Virginia Howlett of the executive stafl of the Junior League came down from New York for the conference, 100k ing very attractive in a gray tailleur, with which she wore a bright yellow blouse. All the clothes yesterday just screamed of the fast- approaching Autumn days. * * % % ¥ % ARVIN BRECKENRIDGE'S activities in the Frontier Nursing Service in Kentucky has greatly advanced the project and created much interest locally. Every year in the lovely setting of the George Hewitt Myers’ Museum, all the younger set gather to hear reports of this wonderful work carried on for the mountaineers. 'l Entirely run by volunteers, mostly young women who ride over the wild mountain trails bringing relief and encouragement where a doctor is not known, this worthy enterprise is carried on after the same pattern of the government nurses of Canada, who, astride their gallant steeds, outshine Pegasus in their exciting tales of riding through floods, etc. And every year some fresh volunteers join. Marvin was one of the first young women from Washington and many have followed her example, among them Marion Shouse, Josephine Rice and now “Teene” Ekengren. So whea adverse creatures are moved to rate the social butterfly as useless, let us remind them of the unselfish and dangerous work required by the Frontier Nursing Service, as well as the time devoted to the Children's Hospital by the Junior League and Miss Mabel Boardman's efficient staff, assistanis and ambulance drivers of the Red Cross. * x x x "/ FTER having submerged herself to her heart's content in the quiet waters of Lake Sebago, Me., Enid Snow has returned. Insisting that she has gained 10 pounds, which we disbelieve, for it isn't dis- cernable—proves that perfection may often stray from the beaten path! For large meals and plenty of sleep, all factors to be avoided by those who would aspire to Enid’s symmetry of line, seem to have taken no toll. * % x x Capt. and Mme. Galbe of the Norwegian Legation left for a recent two-day visit they were faced with a great problem. What to do with their two adorable daughters, aged 6 and 8, who are already decidedly expressing their feminine personalities? They feared that to leave the children alone with the Norwegian Nanny and three competent house sere vants would result in the “little darlings” ruling the roost! So, after & conference in which the other members of the legation took an active part, by popular vote, the young and handsome attache, Ditlef Knudsen, was appointed Charge d'Affaires of the Galbe household. The role of a family man and “keeper of the jewels”—Cornelia, mother of the Gracchi, might dis« pute that, for hers were sons—was a new one for Mr. Knudsen. All's well tha§ ends well, and everything seems to be serene chez Galbe! g * ¥ ¥ % 'HERE has been a lot of coming and going around the “village” of late. Early in the week Mrs. Philip Coffin returned from Hamilton, Mass., glad to be back and welcomed by all; Mrs. Walter Edge was here for two days trying to get her house in order and Mrs. Dwight Davis was another one “here today and gone tomorrow,” so to speak, who appeared to take a look at things in her residence on Forhall road, which she will probably move into mext month.
