noN'T you love the kiddies' ideas Of
~ religious things until they get a
better understanding and learn to know
the difference between temptation and
actual sin. So many Of them confuse
the two and think they are doing wrong,
poor little lambs, when they are tempted
to and yet resist. Frankie however,
though mixed on his Guilt about being
tempted, was certainly not mixed as to
his sin. He had been naughty and his
mother told him after talking seriously
to him and obtaining real sorrow for the
misdeed on his part Now, dear. lineel
down and tell God you are sorry and ask
Him to forgive you" How shall I tell
Him, mother?" asked Frankie. Just in
your own words, dear" she replied
So frankie knelt down and said, Dear
God, please forgive me for being tempted
by Satan to fall, for l not only slid but
l fell in with both feet. Amen"
TT WAS nothing short of thrilling on the
l. Fourth when the three companies Of
Home Defense marched into the Philadel
phia Cricket Club and went through their
various maneuvers. And when they came
up to company front" and marched down
the field as one man they looked, in spite
of their somewhat variegated khaki al
most like regulars. And they had an en-
thusastic audience, which stayed with
| them to the end, for the dance in the eve
ming was crowded. The Dave Newhalls
were there and the George Ffoulkes Mrs
| Ffoulke was Fisher Newhall, you know
saw Barker Mellor dancing around as
| II he had never heard OF such a thing as
a drill. Ivy and Aubrey williams were
there, and of course the younger set had
a beautiful time. All three Newbolds-
| Catherine, Ethel and Mary--were dane
ing. Mary will come out next year Mar
tina Henderson, another debutante, was
there, too, and Judith Jennings. Lee
Shipley looked awfully well in white and
Eleanor Edmonds Chat is to say Eleanor
Ketcham) also had on a white dress
Eleanor and Stan have just come back
from their wedding trip and they seemed
happier than ever. Dorothy Disston was
at the club in the afternoon, playing some
very good tennis with Molly Thayer. Both
girls looked as fresh as II they had just
|
was a pleasure to watch them. There is
a great difference, by the way, between
playing tennis during a drill of soldiers
and playing while a great rally is going
| on. There was great indignation among
the spectators at the rally last Sunday at
| ST. Martins because during the speeches
and the singing of national airs, princi'
pally the Star Spangled Banner certain
young men saw At to play tennis within
twenty-five feet Of the stand. In fact,
people were still talking about It on Wed
nesday night. It seems a pity that some
one in authority did not request them to
stop. Surely they could have played their
game in the morning or have taken their
exercise in some other spot, for the whole
of Germantown and Chestnut Hill turned
out there that afternoon and held com
bined Red Cross and Home Defense and
everything else, so to speak, meeting and
It was decidedly an occasion.
In fact, Mr.. lie Roy, pastor OF st. Mar
rins-in.the- Fields, had the afternoon serv.
ices put off until the meeting was over
and vet so poor are the manners Of some
of our young American men they are
| unable TO stop lheIE BeuheS iOhs eHOus"
to pay respect and attention to a meet
ing such as that was. It makes one
ashamed to think that they can show
80 little politeness, to say nothing Of pa
triotism and proper feeling.
MIR. AND MRS. WILSON POTTER,
lM accompanied by their cunning chill
dren, have gone to Kennebunkport Me-
where they. have opened their cottage.
Mrs Potter you know, is quite the ideal
mother. does not care fig for society
hut devotes her time to her children and
their careful training, and like her
r,other-in.law, Mrs. Thomas Potter, gives
au her spare time TO working for the
Red Cross. MANU- WINNIE
