CONFINEMENT
FUND STARTED
South Philadelphians Give Con-
cert for Fund to Buy Pleas
ures for Soldiers

Now that 20 many of our soldiers are
at home" in Camp Meade, we are begin
ming TO hear lot Of things about that in
terestlng place and what is going on down
there. There seems TO have been no end
of splendid equipment to make everything
just as comfortable as possible, but at this
early period there is a woeful lack OF pleas
ure-giving devices. Fancy men by the thou
sands having only dozen footballs or an
evening gathering with a talking machine
And so, some of the more progressive off,
GERS have started what they call content
mend fund. The money Is to buy balls,
bats, tennis rackets, talking machine and
everything else that may add to the con-
tentment of the men, and, needless to say,
the project is meeting with favor every
where,
Lieutenant Harry Furey wrote so per-
suasively TO his sisters In the Glrard
Estate that big concert Is under way
by which the children Of the Rush and
Furness Schools hope to have most
acceptable mite to send to the camp be-
fore Thanksgiving. The Board OF Educa-
ton has very kindly donated the handsome
auditorium Of the Furness School, Third
and Mexican streets, for the evenings Of
November 4 and g. and the janitor and the
engineer. anxious to help, have volunteered
their services. The older children, that is
those attending InS FuTleSS oCHOol, are
working up some splendid patriotic num-
bers and, under the capable direction Of
Miss Helen Dussey, will be seen in some
delightful. folk dances. The tiny tots of
five and six who attend the Rush School,
Fourth and Snyder avenue, simply would
not be left out, and so Miss Anna Furey
has written a very clever little playlet
about Old Mother Goose, which somehow
never grows old when done by the little
ones, and OF course their number will not
by any means be the least interesting
Mr.. J. Beading, whose son. Captain
Beading. is much interested in the fund, is
also working hard to make the affair a
success Indeed. the appeal is such an
earnest one that II attendance at these first
little concerts for the fund will be the means
of purchasing enjoyment for the men who
have answered their country's call, It is a
foregone conclusion that the efforts of the
workers will be very successful.
Friends of Miss Marie Mohan, of 1927
Ritner street, will be glad to learn that she
is convalescing from her recent serious i'll
ness. Miss Mohan contracted pneumonia
on her way up from Atlantic City. where
she had spent her vacation, and for several
weeks her life was in danger

Mrs Charlie wrights return to the
East that I am glad to be able to saw
she really will arrive very soon and will
spend a month or two with Hebe Dick
her daughter in Chestnut Hill. before
going back to California; for they tell
me she finds the climate in the far West
more healthy than here and is quite
welded TO California.
Mrs Wright lived abroad for a long
time before the war broke out and does
not seem to want to give up travel.

several places during a year and has no

TO regular life again. Anyway, she seems
to love the Golden West. and I can't saw
blame her; 1t must be wonderful coun.

Philadelphia usually looks pretty good to
me.
Mrs. Wright was the beautiful Carrie
McMurtrie, sister of Miss Mary and
MISS Nellie McMurtrie and cousin of
the Murrays, Bohlens and McCans. You
remember she gave Mary Bohlen's com.
ing-out party two years ago at her lovely
nome at st. Martins. Mary Bohlen, by
the way, is now Mary Tilghman, she
and Dick having been married last May.
DICK Is in the army and Is at Fort Han
cock, so Mary is living in Augusta these
days. Perhaps Mrs. Wright may be per-
suaded to stay longer than a month or so
with her charming daughter and son-in-
law and the wee grandchildren.

''rake-off' and permit their workers
to be soaked a few dollars extra on
each uniform.

shall will be practically the same as
these and cost me $3.50.
Most of the railroads which have
contracted with Fields for uniforms
do not compel it's workers to buy
uniforms at Fields under pain Of dis
missal, but it will see that Fields gets
its money, if the employees envelope
has to be tapped, while it won't guar
antee that any other uniform MAX
eT's bill will be paid" said an indie
pendent tailor.
"The strictest road is the Illinois
Central. It's the talk in railroad cir
cIes that an l. c. worker who doesn't
want to pay Fields price for a uni
form had best watch his P's and Q's
if he wants to hold his Job.
Its the negro Pullman porter,
though, upon whom Fields has the
most thorough grip. I don't think
the porters are included in the late
Pullman ruling that permits condUc-
tors on eastern roads to buy uni
forms from Wanamaker's. l think
every Pullman porter in America
must buy his uniform from Marshall
Fields"
