CARDS have been sent out by Mrs.
Kirkland Wiley Todd, of Wightman
Street, and her sister, Miss Helen
Jackson Todd, daughter of Mr. George A.
Todd, of the Schenley Apartments, for a tea
they will give in the University Club, from
three until six oclock, the afternoon of Tuesday,
May twenty-second. The guests have
been asked to meet Miss Darrell Ewing Morrow,
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Henry Wilson
Morrow, of Swissvale, whose engagement to
Mr. Robert C. Todd, brother of the hostesses,
was announced recently. Assisting during
the afternoon will be Mrs. Edwin P. Buchanan,
Mrs. Gilbert P. McNiff, Mrs. Ernest N.
Calhoun, Mrs. Samuel A. Gilliland, Mrs.
Henry K. Holmes, Mrs. William A. Duckham,
Mrs. Philip C. Hodill, Miss Eleanor Grier,
Mrs. John V. Kimerer, Mrs. Ralph Rowles,
Mrs. Joseph H. Bowman, Mrs. Bailey H.
Moore, Mrs. R. B. Caldwell, Miss Marguerite
Hine, Miss Margaret Rodgers and Miss Phyllis

Mr. Ralph J. Stayman, of Murray Hill Avenue,
announces the engagement of his daughter,

of Evanston, Illinois.
Boxes and parking spaces at the Allegheny
Country Club Horse Show, June seventh,
eighth and ninth are being speedily preempted.
Practically all of the boxes have been
sold and much of the space about the ring is
taken, both box and parking space having
been secured by some families, with entries,
because it permits the individual to be a
member of a box party during the entire
show, with the additional privileges of getting
nearer the ring when the family entry
appears. The location close to the ring appeals
particularly to the youthful element
who find it fun to scramble about in and out
of automobiles, and perch precariously on top
to get the best of all possible views.
Many of this year's box holders are people
who have occupied the same box since the
Horse Shows were resumed four or five years
ago. Among them are Mr. George H. Calvert,
Mr. Ralph S. Richards, Dr. Maitland
Alexander, Mr. Frank Faber Brooks, Mrs.
William Thaw, Jr., Mr. James Crossan Chaplin,
Mr. Thomas A. McGinley, Mrs. John C.
