Passersby at Newport Tennis Open Show Fashion Amid Social Scene
Reporters note a sea of faces watching tennis at Newport on Tuesday afternoon. Mrs Delancey Kane Jay and Mr Jay attended at the home of Mr and Mrs Edward Morgan with guests in pale pink linen and white outfits. Also seen were Mrs Ralph Sanger with Mrs William Woodward in white, Mrs Townsend Burden Jr at Fairlawn in white whipcord, and Miss Esther Moreland in mustard ratine among other social observers. The piece shifts to a chiropody expert denouncing modern dances and the effect on feet, linking foot shape to personality and compatibility.
