TORS will receive. Mrs. Skinner is at pres
emf in Chicago, or rather was there last
week. She travels good deal with Mr.
Skinner, you know. A little bird whis'
pered to me that there was question OF
Mr.. Skinner getting up benefit wlren he
comes to Philadelphia. This time for the
Red Cross, not for the Charlotte Cushman
Club however.
THE Woman's Suffrage party here is
L so delighted with the carrying of New
York for suffrage, Mrs. George A. Dun
ming, who is chairman, tells me they are
planning to hold jubilee reception this
evening at the headquarters at 1921 Chest
nut street at o'clock to celebrate the
g1-t nj
they invite all to attend.
It certainly is worth celebrating. Don't
tell me if the women in this city could

They would BE in; Get me?
NEVER before had he been so popu-

dividing up the sailors from the Navy
Yard among the hospitable church mem
bers who had opened their doors to the
lonely creatures, one little jackie found
himself the common property of two OF
Z the sweetest old ladies imaginable. The
only difficulty lay in the fact that it was
a question of two against one, and that
he stood, had he but known it, in the very
midst of a lifelong friendship. Botr
ladies' had expected at least two of the
dear boys" and both had prepared din
.ners fit for a king. Alas! What should &
little boy do?
MY dear Margaret, you must tak'
him" said the little blueeyed lady.
mot at all, my dear Mary" said she o
the silvery curls. HE shall go with you.
And so it went on until our hero
crimson to the tips of his ears and driver
between politeness and desperation, sug
gested a way out of the difficulty. A
frst the ladies were a little shocked, bu
they were good sports and always ha
been, so at last with a twinkle of the ey
and little toss Of the head, they DREW
LOTS in the churchyard for that preciou
bit of humanity! That sailor lad!
OF course, the moral is that If NOR
sailors had been religiously inclined o
that bright Sunday morning it woul
have saved two little saints a few col
science pricks. 1t sometimes does seeI
