Pee I feel sure that vou remember Ruth King (Mrs. James L.
'King, Jr.) of Columbus, Ga„ who visits the Rinaldo B. Pages here
often. She is good company wherever she goes and the possessor
of two wonderful attributes, among many others, a winning per
sonality and a grand sense of humor. There is ‘Never A Dull
Moment” when “Ruthie” is anywhere around. And what finer thing
can be said of anyone, in this vail of tears, than that they like to
make people laugh? Now comes word from her native Georgia
that Ruth has added more laurels to her long list of accomplish
ments for in the Junior League Horse Show at Columbus last week
she won FIRST PLACE in THE FINE HARNESS CLASS and was
presented with a handsome silver trophy. And whom do you think
was asked to make the presentation? None other than Daisy Page
(Mrs. R. B. Page) of Wilmington who happened to be visiting her
sister-in-law and brother-in-law, the Edmond Pages there at that
time . ,
Mrs. Isaac B. Grainger of Montclair, N. J„ formerly or this
city, spent last week here visiting her mother-in-law, Mrs. J. Victor
Grainger, and her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac B.
Grainger, Jr . at their respective homes. Catherine Garrett Grainger
came to Wilmington from the. north as a bride and in no time at
all made a place for herself here in the hearts of all who know her.
Lovely to look at, friendly to know, and extremely clever at any
thing she tackled, we soon came to feel that she had belonged here
always, but then in the 1930’s with her husband, Isaac B. Grainger,
and their family she moved to New Jersey where they have resided
ever since. So, you see, her local friends are overjoyed when they
near sne is coming oacK nome ior i
one of her all too infrequent
visits.
Mrs. John Russell Pope of New
York city and Mrs. Gordon Wil
son of Baltimore have returned
to their homes after spending last
week at Mrs. Pope's seasonal
home, “Airlie-On-the-Sound.”
Mrs. Pope, who spent much of
her young ladyhood here, is the
former Miss Sadie Jones, daugh
ter of the late Mrs. Henry Wal
ters and the late Pembroke Jones
of New York, Newport and Wil
mington. Her husband, the late
John Russell Pope, was one of
America’s outstanding architects,
having designed the Lincoln
Memorial in Washington, D. C.,
among many other famous struc
tures. Mrs. Wilson (nee Elizabeth
Elliott) lived here with her fam
ily, the late Mr. and Mrs. Warren
G. Elliott, Sr., in the early 1900’s.
She is the sister of George B.
Elliott of this city.
Mrs. John N. Alexius of Olean
der is viisiting her sister and
brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam Wood, at their home in Nor
folk for a week.
Thomas H. Wright and L. Paul
Campbell are spending several
days in New York city on busi
ness.
Friends of Mrs. Louis B. Orrell
of 318 Orange street, will regret
to learn that she is a patient at
Duke University hospital at Dur
ham where she went several days
ago for rest and observation. Mr.
Orrell is in Durham with her.
Mr. and Mrs. Albert F. Perry
returned the first of the week
from Richmond by motor where
they spent the week-end with Mr.
and Mrs. John Hill Cronly and
visited their daughter, Miss Jane
Perry, who is a student at Miss
Madeira’s School in Washington,
D. C., while away. The John
Hill Cronleys spent last week here
with the Perrys at their Wrights
ville Beach home.
Henry Rehder has returned
from Alabama where he and
Mrs. Rheder spent the past three
weeks. Barbara Rehder is visiting
relatives and friends in Green
ville, Alabama, this week but is
expected home in the near future.
It is nice to see Mrs. Ashley
Curtis and Miss Jennie Murchi
son back home again after their
absence of several months. They
returned to the city abount two
weeks ago and are again occupy-,

spring have been making their
home with the former’s parents
in Oleander, will move within the
next few days to the Oleander
Court apartments. Mrs. Alexius
was Frances Warren of Trenton,
before her marriage.
We are thankful for the cool,
dry weather we are having at
present. Some people claim fall
is depressing but to our way of
thinking it is a season of thanks
giving that the heat of summer
is behind us for another year, and
a period of renewed energies and
bright promises of things to come.
We feel peppier at this time of
year than at any other so can
therefore accomplish much, and
what greater happiness or satis
faction is there in life than the
thrill of accomplishment?
With kindest regards and best
wishes.
Sincerely yours,
VIRGINIA.
