Gfltcwood Family
pisperscd for Summer.
How tho Gatewood Vamlly are scat
tere'd this summer! Hatlle, Mrs.'
Jenkins, Is nt' Newport, with the baby,
as I wroto you ; Dr. and Mrs. Gate
wood will spend the month bf August
with Dorothy Gatewood North' at West
Point, while Captain North Is at I'latts
burg; and the Toy Dixon Savages
Mrs. Savage was Hildrcth Gatewood
aro going to, spend their vacation In the
mountains of North Carolina.
IThcy tell me there is no more beau
tiful scertry In this country than North
Carolina bonsts; and last summer when
Mr. Savage' was visiting the Gatewoods
at their- camp on Raquette Lake, he
used always to say that the Adiron
dacks were Indisputably beautiful "but
you Just ought to see Toxaway,"
The place they have selected for their
summer outing Js not Toxaway proper,
but the Kanuga Club, which Is but a
few miles distant and' equally well
dowered as to scenery. It Is a sort of
club-hotel, frequented by the most de
lightful people, where each new guest
must be sponsored by some of the
habitues of the place; and Hlldreth is
looking forward to a thoroughly good
time. Her cousins, the two daughters
of Gen. Julian Whiting, who was a re
cent visitor at Mrs. Gatewood's, are
also there for the summer.
--
Mrs. Gatewood's sister, Lulle Critcher,
who Is now visiting Dorothy NorU), Is
going to Goshen, Va., In August to stay
with her brother, John Critcher; and
the oiner sister, ivnio, is at province
town, as I doubtless told you before,
busy, with her .paints and brushes.
inere you navo tno uatewoort fam

British Officer ",
Sends Farewell.
Do you recollect, that I said something
several weeks ugo about our meotlng
a particularly interesting British army
officer who wns heio on leave and
diplomatic business? Ills name. If you
have forgotten, was Norman Thwultcs,
British born, university bred, Atueiicuu
experienced, and heru of one ot tho
rout luulduiils of the lino in blunders.
Well, cnptuln 'Thwnltes hurrtca Back
to hnglunu the other day, und along
cume, presently, a letter, it was imileu
with very bum announcement that It
huu been "OPE.s'ED BV CENBOlt," and
was hn the stationery of the Conrtltu
tlohul Cluu oi 1-ondon. The paper and
envelop bore the black ltnes of mourn
ing, everything in Europe does that,
nowadays.
".My pluna. uro rathor uncertain, " he
wiote. "but 1 eXDt-ct to uo out to tho
Fitnch front In a day pr two, at least
for a period. Whether I am to return
to Arhcrlca' fater on 1 don't yet know,
but I' think quite probably 1 shall."
'
Do you realise what that really
meant, Susan? It was his quiet way of
saying good-by. Th same day that
letter came, the newspapers told that
over 4,000 British officers had been kill
ed. or captuied In thiee weeks. Captain
Thwolles Just wanted us to know ho
wus going to the front. That Is about
all that an officer needs to ray by way
of farewell. "Whether I am to rctuin
to America later, on I don't knowi"
What a specimen ot British incapacity
to be sentimental!
Still, he wouldn't need to prove that
he could be sentimental, after the things
I havo heard about. him. lie could have
well, not to be personal, almost. any
girl I know, if he'd only mention it!
And L'm told that ho hasn't tho cour
age to askt Aren't men funny?

Washington Colony Grows
On the North Shore.
With half ot Washington society al
ready gathered in that alluring little
corner of the North Shore, which In.
eludes East Gloucester and Bass -Rocks,
Mr. and Mrs. I. T. Mann are trying
with small difficulty I assure you to
inveigle the other halt to Join them as
their guests. The Washington colony
there Is flourishing and promises to grow
even larger.
The Reeve Lewises are occupying the
same cottage they had last year, and
May Adams, who has. Mrs. Buchanan
Merryman and Margaret Howard with
her, has a delightful cottage at Bass
Rocks which she leased way last fall.
Mrs." William Barrett Ridgely and her
mother, Mrs. Deering, have Joined tbe
hctel colony, which includes the Rich
ard K. Tylers and Mrs. Billy Hill. Mr.
and Mrs. G. Thomas Dunlop will close
their beautiful old place, "Hays," near
Chevy Chase Lake, tomorrow, and will
Join that Jolly throng for the remainder
of the summer.

And Now More Plana
For Navy League' Branch.
Ellzaboth Elllcott Poe has gone to
Wakefield to spend a few days with
Mrs. George Barnott, and I'mVwIlIIng
to wager that the two of them are
busy discussing plans for the
Woman's Section of' the Navy League
in general and the National Service
School Alumnae In particular,
Mrs. Barnett Is forming a surgical
dressings class at Wakefield and Will
thus qualify for the honor rqll of the
First National Service School; while
before she left town Miss Poe had
fiom twenty to thirty women working
under her every morning at the busi
ness of making scientific bandages
and dressings.
Now, that ,nearly. everybody Is out
of town the 'classes meet only every
other, day. They have a.- Red Cross
nurse to-see that everything Is done
correctly and you'd be surprised to
know how many 'dressings, scientific
and sanitary in every respect, have
been completed and laid away for fu
ture use.

Roll Is Feature
Of Alumnae Association.
the honor roll Is a feature ot tne
newly organized Alumnae Association
or the .First National Service School,
which has been formed to bind the
women who took the course together
Into an organization at once permanent
and qualified to be useful. As the girls
graduate rrom the three other oervico
oviiunlj on the tapis for this summer
they will bo eligible for membership.
Of these camps, the ono at San Fran
cisco which opened on June J, and will
close September 1,' is the most Im
portant In point of numbers. Its alum
nut will number S.0O0. There Is to be
a camp at Oencva .Lake, Wisconsin.

Mrs. Vylla Poe Wilson
Helping Organize Camp.
Mrs. Vylla Poe Wilson, who was adju
tant nt tho National Service School at
Chevy Chase, is helping to organize
the camp at Chicago; and who do you
suppose Is one of her ablest lieutenants
Lollta Armour. While I was in Chi
cago she announced that she was going
to Mexico as a Red Cross nurse she
could, too, at a pinch, for sho has
actually had a proper hospital course
but seems to have compromised on the
present work. She's tho little girl, you
remember, who was saved from being
a cripple for life by a famous European
doctor, who was Imported at rabuloua
expense. Now ahs's as healthy as you
please nnd unusually active.
1'hero now, I'm afraid I've worn your
patience thin and must pause to draw
breath. -
Yours fondly.
