TATTLING TIDBITS By DOT KAHN ’Tis the voice of the sluggard; I heard him complain, You have waked me too soon, I must slumber again. Sluggard. Who isn’t a sluggard these days? Just the very men tion of the word summer proves that there is a little bad in the best of us, that is if laziness can be termed as “Bad.” I personally think that our brains would soon be worn out if it were not for the summer and that this season has always been intended for a rest for we poor hard working mortals. Sluggards though we be, we don’t sleep all the time and the very next best thing is to tattle choice tidbits. However it often happens that some of the most choice die a natural death if, un fortunately, they reach a person, not talkatively inclined. So brave little me has come to the rescue. But I never will be able to ‘‘listen in” everwhere at once, so I am hereby extending a cordial invita- , tion to all members of the “Tat tling Organization” to help me 1 out and we ought to have some spicy “Tidbits.” , The first thing that I must tell < about is the surprise shower given e by Lottie Frambes to Marion 1 Glenn. Please notice that there c is an accent on the word SUR- i PRISE. Lottie never does things t half way and she didn’t make this t any exception. Early Tuesday 1 evening Lottie went over to I Marion’s house, and looked honest 1 and truly as though she were go ing to spend the evening sewing. However it wasn’t long before her mother called and informed her that a large package was waiting for her. Of course this offered a marvelous excuse for her to leave and take Marion, much against her will, home with her. The girls were all waiting on the steps and Marion received an absolute bath of rose petals. Then followed the lingerie shower, and of course the girls played bridge and Mah Jongg.

Charlie, the speed King. ’Tis >f Charlie Young I sing and of lis hydroplane. Last summer he ised to spend his idle hours twenty-four hours minus the lumber of hours he slept) riding omeone elses. He always threat ned us, saying that next year he’d ave one of his own. He ALMOST arried out his threat, too. He rould have, had not Dot decided hat she was to have a share in he company. She told me that he boat is to be called “Hytide.” 5he is to be the “Hy” and Charlie he “tide.” No departure could be a first rate one without a farewell card oarty. So Ruth Rosenthal had hers last Sunday. She is leaving for Camp Woodmere in Paradox N. Y. Considering the occasior there was a card party sans care: playing. Our table played cards for at least a half hour and was real pleased with itself. Ruth looked awfully cute. She wore an orchid dress. The entire frock was of beaded eyelets and the soft scarf about the neck gave just the right finishing touch. Ruth Keifer looked stunning (dumb remarks. I’ve never seen her when she didn’t) in a white dress, green beads and hair band furnishing the necessary color touch. 5 Amongst the tears and sobs I I managed to notice Lena Aber . nethy, Leonore Schaffer, Clara Sheppard, Ruth Kiefer, Celeste , Burkhard, Ruth Gossler, Harriet ! Gilbert, Leonore Gilbert, Lillian . Ritter, Floss Mason, Olive Brady , and Dot Feist. ! I just this minute got a phone ■ call from Henrietta Bogatin. I dare to tell about it because by the time this humble epistle reaches the eyes of the preying public the event will be sinking below the edge of the horizon. How’s that for literary lingo? No good? Well, it’s too late to change it now. The fact is that Henrietta is giv ing Eleanor Garfinkle a surprise party before she leaves for camp. When I asked who was going to be there she merely told me, “a good crowd” so it will take a better “tattler” than I to get the details, | until next week. I The much quoted ‘‘younger set” | has suffered quite a shock. When ever the train leaves, taking the boys to Lindol French’s Camp a feeling of emptiness much like unto the whole in the proverbial doughnut o’erspreads the commu nity. Oh, of course, dances will' still be crowded, due to the influx of summer residents, but they merely seem to form an overflow and there is still something miss ing somewhere. The “missing part” might be seen meanwhile walking off -the avoirdupois adopt ed this winter in A.C.H.S. or count ing the pebbles in Lake Stinson. Harry Merrill and Charlie Dar nell went up early to be a kind of reception committee. Ned Lippin cott told me that Bradley Geist, Fred Bolte, John Eisele and Sheridan Beaumont are all going up to the camp. From all accounts the summer is going to be a pleas ant one. Big excitement. I spent a whole honest-to-goodness afternoon with; Elizabeth Richmond. It surely: was a treat too. Between St. | Mary’s and Camp, Libby is a stranger in our midst. In fact! we had a reunion and a half.] Anne Cuthbert arrived home from Linden Hall not so long ago and Marion Moore is home until she goes - elsewhere. She has been threatening to go away to camp. She^actually told me confidentally that her trunk was in the attic and all packed, too. I couldn’t figure out if that was supposed to be a promise or a threat. But be that as it may, we “reunioned” on the beach. I called up Virginia Bossert to day. I always did enjoy going in j bathing with her. It is so fasci nating for me to go in up to my waist, while Miss Bossert sees how far she can go out and still not lose sight of the end of the Steel Pier. However, I have al ways had, not exactly a belief, but a hope that birds of a feather flock together and have tried to ELISBERG’S “The Quaintest Shop in Town** Gifts and Favors of Judg ment, where Pleasing Oddity kindly blends with the.

Then when the people see me come swinging along with Vir ginia they may never even guess the horrible truth. But, her mother told me that Ginny was at the Phi Del convention in Phila delphia. I suppose she’s having a marvelous time between all the dances. I thought of all the Phi Del boys, but I couldn’t seem to be able to guess who could pos sibly have taken her (?) Other signs of summer. The roller coaster is being featured among out door sports. Every one I speak to is either going on it “tomorrow” or was on it "last night.” I was talking to Ruth Keifer and Clara Sheppard and they both were “just frightened to death” when they went on but it was “simply grand.” And now I really am stalled. Can’t think of a single thing that has happened, is happening or is going to happen, so I am hereby signing off for the night. “H. G.” Sparkling GINGER ALE 10 Oz.
