THE WEEKLY DANCE party at the

The party did not go very far into the
oods on this trip. They met so many
fxes, they could not decide which trail
to hit first.
MISS O'ROURKE, it seems, never
gets tired of riding. In the morning she
usually goes hunting and in the after
noon, if it isn't the race track, it's the
bridle paths, but ride she must.

Alford, famous Princeton football
player.
FEW OF THE COLONY who know
Mr. Harold E. Portey, as a proline
writer of the most diverting sort of lit
erature, think of him as an authority
on Aerial Observation, a field in which
he performed highly specialized service
during the War. Mr. Porter revealed
himself in this new role at the last meet
ing of the Pinehurst Forum, held on
Sunday evening, February 15th, at the
Country Club, when he chose this sub
ject for his talk. He pointed out that
the publicity granted the romantic activ
ities of the pursuit pilot has put into
the shade, the business of the observer,
whose work during the Great War was
every whit as dangerous and, from a mil
itary standpoint, infinitely more impor
tant. Mr. Porter discussed in some de
tail the process of aerial regulation of
artillery fire and modern methods of re
connaissance photography. The latter
made it possible to bring operation
maps up to date hourly, and furnished
the most reliable means of learning the
conditions and modifications of the:
enemy's work, the result of bombard
ments, progress of an infantry attack,,
the location of hostile trench, field, and
heavy artillery, and movements of men
and material. The speaker cited as an
example of the effectiveness of aerial
photography the discovery of the super
guns employed by the Bodies for the
bombardment of Paris.
The meeting was attended by about
seventy-five . members of the Colony.
MR. AND MRS. A. T. MCDERMOTT
are at the Carolina and promise to be
with us for the next month. Mr. and
Mrs. McDermott are very fond of horse
back riding and a fox hunt is seldom
started without these tyvo representa
tives from Philadelphia being being
among the party.

W. Towle, of Boston, Mass., entertained

Merrill, of Boston, Mass., Mr. Charles
B. Davis, of Lexington, Mass., Miss
Helen Davis, Lexington, Mass., Mrs.
