NANCY WYNNE is MUCH INTERESTED
IN CHEVY CHASE CAMP FOR WOMEN
The Month of May at Least Will Be Devoted to Camping
Out by Members of the National School of the
Woman's Section of the Navy League

NTONDAY week women Of ali kinds
IVl and descriptions, single and other
wise, young and middle-aged, will start
out frocked In sports suits and hats
armed with tooth brush, comb, hand
kerchief and a few other extras, and
will ride gaily off to Chevy Chase to
ioin the encampment of the National
Service School of the woman's Section
of the Navy League. There are to be
two courses in May, lasting two weeks
each The first commences on May !
and the second May 16. And they are
all to wear khaki uniforms and learn
how to make beds scientifically, mind
you, and good gracious get up at $3.50
O'Clock; and just think, they may go in
TO Washington for two whole hours in
the afternoon, from 4 until o'clock.
Won't it be gay and festive2 Beside
this they will have to study how to
make surgical dressings and apply
those same, and cogitate this well, my
dears, they will learn dietetics and
cooking for the sick in two weeks
time. Furthermore, they are going to
live in tents. The last sentence of the
days program says, THE committee re-
SERVES the right of action i'm all matters
of discipline" Oh, Girls, aren't YOU
scared to death? You don't know what
might happen. BE that as 1t may 1t
will certainly be fine thing. beyond
doubt and the young campers will be
benefited in every way, methinks. Most
of the smart girls from here will go
down the second week because the
Junior League Convention will be on
during the first week in May.
Now that spring Is here and the sub
urban homes are never more attractive,
there will be fetes and fairs of every
dissertation and for all sorts of chart
ties. The beautiful home of Mrs. Henry
Pemberton, Jr., on School House lane
west of Wissahiclon avenue. German
town, will be the scene of large bazaar
on Friday afternoon, May IL, Tor the
benefit of the mountaineers of virginia
There will be pony rides, Punch ana
Judy show to delight the hearts of the
little tots: moving pictures and competl-
tIon dancing for the debutantes, and all
sorts of pretty and useful things to puy
beside cakes, candies and other eats
Among the girls who are interested are
Miss Edith Baily, Miss Josephine Fos-
ter, Miss Mary Clayton, Miss Josephine
Doran, Miss Mildred Lee, Mrs. Louis
Rodnan Page, Jr., Mrs. William Paul
o'Neill, Miss Lulu Duhring. Miss Lille
Crisfield, Miss Hope McMichael, Miss
Caroline II. Pemberton, Miss Virginia
Roberts. Miss Anita Stetson, Miss Edith
Smith, Miss Mary Smith and MISS
Eleanor Longstreth. Probably the most
interesting event of the afternoon will
be the baby show. All the fashionable
babies in the neighborhood will be there
and many will cCme from town and
along the Main Line, not in baby |
coaches. but in limousines, and dressed |
in dainty shocked frocks and cunning |
bonaets. The fair will last from until |
O'Clock and, from all accounts, it will |
be big success.
Maybe it is because the season was
very late this year and every one still
tired out, or maybe it is because the
women are much taken up with their
preparedness classes and sewing and
knitting for the wounded / cannot say;
but this is certain, though there will be
a number of weddings during the COM
ing week, there will be very little enter
tanning in the way of dinners and
dances. To be sure "Whoa-Phoebe" of
the Mask and Wig. will be an attrac-
ton during the entire week, and there
will be the much-talked-of Masquerade
dance at the Philadelphia Cricket Club
on Wednesday night, and, believe me,
that will be some dance from all 1 have
heard. The costumes are to be very un-
usual, and a great many persons will go
to 1t. But with the ex Heption of that
dance and Mrs. Scott's supper Clubs
extra meeting Saturday hight, there will
be no dances of importance during the
week, which is generally full of such
entertainments NANCY WYNNE.
