NANCY WYNNE INTERESTED IN PLAY
UNDER AUSPICES OF SUFFRAGE
"The Yellow Jacket Will Be Given in Dramatic Recital
Tomorrow at the Little Theatre by Dr. Fred
eric Poole-Other Matters of Interest

"TT1HE YELLOW JACKET" which
i many Of us had the pleasure Of
seeing last year at the Little Theatre,
will be given in dramatic recital again
at the tiny playhouse on De Lancey
street tomorrow evening under the
auspices of the Woman Suffrage party,
by DIR. Frederic Poole. The sudragists
who believe ut Pays to Advertise"
have succeeded in giving a decided
Chinese atmosphere to the Daffodil tea
room this week, where the tickets are
being sold by young women in Chinese
costume, and the window decorations
also suggest the Far East.
The story of "The Yellow Jacket" is
as old as the hills and as young as
springtime. It Is play without
scenery, but as the lecturer says its
scenery is as big as your imagination"
and he initiates his hearers into the
mysteries and humors of the Chinese
written language by means of crayon
drawings. Among the women of social
prominence who will act as patronesses
for "The Yellow Jacket" are Mrs.
George A. Dunning. Mrs Joseph NJ.
Gazzam, Mrs. William d. Grange, Miss
Ida Stokes Adams, DR.. Lucy L. w.
Wilson, Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson,
Mrs. William Rotch wister, Mrs. e. b.
Leaf, Mrs. I. II. O'Harra, Miss Vida
Hunt Frances, Mrs. John c. Trautwine,
Jr, and Miss Elizabeth Kirkbride. The
affair will be given under the auspices
of the Finance Committee, of which
Mrs. wolstan Dixey is chairman.
There Is a great romance about brass
buttons and the warriors who wear
them; in fact, some of the girls find
them quite Irresistible. 1t is therefore
not astonishing to hear charming
maiden talk about her lonely SOL
der" these days and wish he would
send her his photograph. That was what
I heard at luncheon recently, and
really her cheeks grew pink and her
eyes shone with excitement as she
talked about him. The idea is to write
to the soldier boys who have no near
and dear ones at home to cheer them
in the awful hours in the trenches. Be.
sides writing to him, you send him
cigars and cigarettes and handker.
chiefs and warm scarfs and quinine
pills, and one I know of thoughtfully
added a toothbrush to her packet for
Somewhere in France" for her Lone
ly Soldier" had said that receiving a
letter from her was as good as having
q whole new toothbrush. That gives us
an idea of the many so-called small
trials these good men, brave and true,
have to undergo. But before you start
this writing to him, you know, you go
to get his name from place in New
York and you have to solemnly swear
that you are no insinuating, aspiring
female on the job for husband for as
the clerk tells you, This is no matri-
monial bureau" What blow to some,
for, as I told you, there is n world of
romance about brass buttons and war.

ASK PROTECTION FOR
ARCHIVES OF STATE
Legislature Is Asked to Provide Means
For Preservation of Priceless
Manuscripts and Books.

Much activity is Being displayed by
many of those interested In the pres
ervation of valuable records in the
State Library, and 1t is hoped the
bill to appropriate funds Cor the pur-
pose. now before the Legislature. may
be acted upon favorably.
1t is not generally known that the
department of archives In the State
Library building holds the most valu-
able collection of manuscript records
of any State in the Union. and is sec
ond only to the National Library at
Washington in the wealth of historic
material. embracing the written rec
ords of the Commonwealth and that
vast section known as the Northwest
Territory.
More than seventy-five years ago
the State librarian pointed out the
need for properly protecting the rec
ords from the. ravages of time and
dangers Of theft or destruction by fire.
Since that time there have been made
more or less regular requests for the
Legislature to provide the necessary
means for such purpose, yet today
the papers and volumes are so ar
ranged that even small nre in the
department would quickly destroy pa
pers and volumes which once lost can
never be replaced.
Disastrous fires in other States have
destroyed thousands OF manuscripts.
and Virginia should not continue long,
ar to neglect her treasures which year
by year become more valuable.

Revolution in Virginia, with the CO.

has twice lin 1912 and 1910 en-
deavoret to induce the Legislature to
make the necessary appropriation for
the purcha OF metal filing cases. and

records; and again this session are en-
deavor!ng. through the good will OF
Senator James E. Cannon and Gran
willie r. Swift, to secure the passage
of the archives bill. From the in
terest which Is developing it's early
passage is confidently expected.
