THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK
W
Hill Road. Bishop is in the government
service at Washington, but Mrs. Bishop
will open the house and he is expected to
return as soon and as often as the un
scrambling of Count William Ilohenzol
lern's mess will allow.
Hard on our heels came Dr. and Mrs.
J. S. Brown. The Doctor was in his
usual inimitable form. He has the most
wonderful letters from the front.
Miss Dorothy has been nursing right
under the guns, and seeing everything to
be seen after the style of the American
girl. Jim has been in charge of the
reconnaissance photography for the whole
4 2d division. This is some entertaining
proposition. In the main it consists of
snooping out ahead of the lines and tak
ing snap shots of the Germans in their
positions, their neat little machine gun
traps, and other pictorial stunts that
make the rattlesnake and African lion
photography positively silly. He has
been over the top thirty-two times,been
blown bodily into the air by a big shell
and seen and taken most that there is
to see. When the curtain went down he
was captain in charge of the work for
the whole corps, lie will sure have a
tale to tell when he gets home.
Over on the hill the lights are shining
in the Linden where Mr. and Mrs. II.
W. Priest and Miss Lucy Priest have
been for some time. Miss Lucy has re
turned to the charge of the Library,
which will open its doors Monday next.
Mrs. George T. Dunlap left town the
day we got here to go after Mr. Dun
In p. He has been ill at the Battle
Creek Sanitarifim, but we are glad to
learn that he is on the high road to re
covery and will return to the Sandhills
over the road .
Mrs. lloman and her son Charlie Ilor
ton have been staying in Mrs. Spencer
Waters' Cotton Cottage for the month
of October and November, and will re
main there until the arrival of Mrs.
John List Crawford of New York, who
has rented it for the season. The whole
village shares with Mrs. Homan the
keenest sense of loss and sorrow for her
heroic, son Gifford, who met his fate like
McConnell and Quentin Roosevelt in
single combat over the Heathen Lines.
The most appaling racket and hub
bub ever chronicled in the annals of
Pinehurst brought the people rushing
into the streets and parkways last Mon
day. I went out by the roof expecting
nothing less than conflagration or inva
sion. And then everyone fell to adding
to the din. It was the official requiem
to William the Conquered.' A thousand
Hags appeared from God knows where.
The blinds in the stores ,went up, the chil
dren poured from the schools, and pla
cards hopped into place bearing the le
gend :
"Gone to Bad Bill's Funeral. "
By one accord the whole populace of
the county took to the road . From every
quarter the sound of horns and sirens, the
trebble yells of the youngsters and the
hum of motors heralded the coming of
squadrons of trucks and cars loaded to
the gunwale with the entire population.
Bedecked and festooned and covered
with mottoes with one accord they made
through Pinehurst on the way to Car
thage, . This outpouring revealed to
what an extent the colony has been ar
riving this October. A prominent place
was occupied in the line by Miss Bruce 's
big car. She and Mr. Frederick Bruce
were in line, leading a merry overflow
of childen who almost completely
swamped the chariot piloted by the Rev.
T. A. Cheathem. Mr. and Mrs. Arm
strong sprang from the "Orange" and
joined the glad throng.
On every hand the greeting and the
rejoicing was almost pandemonium.
Colonel and Mrs. Swigert and Stuyves
ant LeRoy, Mrs. Z. R. Bliss, who has
opened the Cherokee for the season, Mrs.
Donald Ross, Mr. and Mrs. P. B.
O'Brien and the children, who came
down in a car, Mrs. Dana and Mrs
Eric Parson, the Warings and the New
combs most of the familiar faces were
in evidence in the amazing interlude.
Eric of course was not on hand. Like
Achilles he couldnt' abide in school
when the great expedition was afoot, and
he followed the Red Cross to France,
and is doing his celebration in the Place
de Concorde. The same is true of a
host of the boys for years the prevail
ing figures on the links of Pinehurst.
Paul Dana is with the 302d Field Ar
tillery presumably at the moment firing
the last mammoth salvo over the grave
of Kultur. Bob Jewett is running an
ambulance in the Champaign. Henry
Seggerman is toting a musket in the
great advance. Phil Robeson is behind
the lines camouflaged to resemble a poilu
with a dashing mustache. Julian Bis
hop, after his tenth try, got into the
army in spite of his lack of ears, and
spends his time on fatigue for not obey
ing orders he doesn't hear. But he is
happy. He got into the game. And he
got there over the dead bodies of half
the enlistment corps of the United States
army . Trumbull Dana is wearing the
uniform at the training camp Kearney
in California.
The report of those on their way are
legion. Walter II. Page, former ambassa
dor to England, who has been convalesc
ing from a serious illness in New York,
is expected shortly at the Currituck,
where he will spend the winter with
Mrs. Page and his daughter, Mrs. C. G.
Loring. Lieutenant Loring is with the
big celebration in Sedan.
Coming with them, to occupy the lit
tle Brick House, is Mrs. Arthur W.
Page and her children. Arthur is a
captain in the Intelligence Department
stationed in Paris. It is also expected
that Major Frank C Page, who has just
returned from active service, will spend a
good part of his time under the famiy
roof tree.
The Albermarle, W. II. Thurston's
residence, will be shortly opened by the
J. D. Chapmans, who have taken it for
the season. The Watauga, which they
lived in last year has been sold to N. B.
Hersloff of Nutley, New Jersey, who
will be welcomed and initiated into the
colony counsels sometime about Christ
mas. Mr. and Mrs. II . F. Noyes are re
ported on their way here now, travelling
by the Capitol Highway. Mr. and Mrs.
Warren Bicknell and Miss Bicknell are
moving into the Warbeck, and a cordial
welcome has been extended to Mr. and
