A Poverty Stricken Party
“Of course here at Pinehurst
we always try to be up to date
in every way and since it is ‘*au
fait” these days to be poverty
stricken, we do hereby declare
! that this year’s tennis dinner will
be a poverty stricken party!
Not but what poverty will be
maintained within reasonable
limits and guests may expect the
customary high quality of good
fun, good music and good food,
enjoyed on previous occasions.
The idea is, that| like beauty
which is only skin deep, we shall
expect the guests to confine their
poverty to the surface and ap-
I pear outwardly garbed in what
ever sym'bol of destitue circum
stances they may select. Gues^
desiring to make a vulgar display
of their affluence will still be ac
cepted in evening clothes but we
hope that the majority will ac
knowledge the decree and appear
properly outfitted in “what the
well dressed bum will wear.”

Sales of Pinehurst
Property Significant
Emphasize the Favor in Which
Homes Here Are Held
by Visitors
Two significant sales in Pinehurst
emphasize the favor in which homes
in this interesting community are
held by visitors. The Gateside cottage
has been conveyed by Mrs. Ethel M.
I Sounders to W. Allen Taft of Arling-
I ton, Mass. Mr. and Mrs. Taft will oc-
I cupy the cottage until late in the
I season. Mr. Taft’s father. W. H. Taft,
of the Export Lumber Company of
Boston, was one of the first buyers
of a building lot when the section
west of the Carolina was put on the
market, so the younger members of
the name are not strangers to Pine
hurst. In addition to finding much
pleasure on the golf courses, Mr.
Taft is interested in hunting and will
probably spend much time in the
field during the open season.
Fred A. Powdrell of Chicago, vice-
president and treasurer of Montgom
ery Ward Company, has signed pa
pers to complete the purchase from
the estate of W. L. Glatfelter, Mr.
Glatfelter’s former residence, the
“Green Dial”, on Magnolia Road, di
rectly in front of the Carolina prop
erty adjoining the home of George
T. Dunlap. Mr. Powdrell will make
in Pinehurst a home for his young
family, and his selection is looked on
as a valuable evidence of the virtues
of this section as a winter location.
