What do you think? May Hodge and
Bertha Clark have decided to take up
nursing and are entered at the Penn
sylvania Hospital. Every one is won
derlng why they have decided to work,
when they have no urgent need for
this worlds goods; but after all, girls
do very often get tired of n constant
empty round of going out all the time,
and | hear they have decided they
want definite purpose in life, and 1t
surely is a fine thing to devote them
selves to helping their sisters and
brothers who are among the suffering.
Bertha is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Davis Clark, of 22l5 Spruce
street, She made her debut several
years ago and is n very popular young
person. She has n very attractive sis
ter, Frances. Mary Hodge is the
daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Wool
sey Hodge and n sister of Harry
Hodge, who is regarded as one of our
eligibles and is always sought after for
the various affairs. Her sister Loulie
married Joe Phillips and lives out at
Torresdale.
The William Ellis Sculls will give
dinner dance tonight for Mariana
GOwen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Francis I. Gowen, who was introduced
at a tea last month. The Sculls have
wonderful old place out at Over
brook. I often wonder why they don't
have out ut-of-door parties in the spring
and fall, for 1t is ideal for such pur-
pose. Margot. by the way, is very
sweet-everyone says she has such
charming manners and the few times
/ have talked with her I have been
struck with her perfect ease and savoir
falre without a grain of self-con-
sclousness.
Agnes Brockie will he given thea
I, tire party and supper by the Jack Ma
sons, of Chestnut Hill, tonight. Agnes,
so one of the boys tells me. Is the
greatest fun lover and is ready for
every kind of good time. into which
she enters with all the zest possible.
It makes her very nice person TO en-
tertain, don't you think?
