and that's fine, don't you think? Indeed,
the Scouts are by no means the smallest
OF the Junior organizations throughout the
country, and the members are helping very
materially In all the various branches of
patriotic work now going on.
Headed by their captains. who are most
of them Junior I.cagucrs though the
league, of course. has nothing to do with
the matter, they are cooperating in every
way by Offering their services in many of
the numerous undertakings. Mrs. Willis
Martin has offered "a merit stripe to the
scout who will turn in thirty or more new
members during the campaign of this and
next week.
Then, on December Is. there will he a
big bazaar at the Penfed Building to raise
money to obtain wool for the Scouts to
knit, as knitting, you see, is one of the
accomplishments Of the Scouts, and many
of them have made a great many articles
for the soldiers and sailors already.
In connection with the sale of fancy and
useful articles common to most bazaars
there will be "a lunchroom which Gwen
Martin will have in charge. and her troop
from Chestnut Hill. which, incidentally,
has many future bellies therein, will act as
mattresses. Those who will have charge
of the other doings at the fair include
Mrs. Drew.Baer. Ellen Mary Cassatt who
has had SO much to do with the Girl Scout
movement In this city; Katherine Lea,
Anne Meirs, Elizabeth Adams. Elisabeth

be stationed at one place or when he will
be sent off to camp. Mrs. f. c. Hakanson,

ing of II Don't Want to Get Well" by Eliz-
abeth Latta and an enthusiastic jackie,
brought the house down.
The ballroom was crowded to its utmost
capacity with pretty girls and marines and
jackies and older people, and the dancing
