way you say it--who is going up to Bar
Harbor this week is Mrs. Joe Walker, 3d.
in other words, Eleanor Cuyler. She has
been living in New York since her mar.
riage, you know, and of course there is
every expectation that Joe will have to
go soon to France, for he is in the Ma
tional Guard Of New York. Her parents,
the De Witt Cuylers, are at their cottage
In Bar Harbor, and so Eleanor will leave
in few days to visit them.
HATTIE GEYELIN is going up to Isles
- boro to visit Margot Scull I wonder
II Margot has her wee ukulee up there
with her? She has grown so fond Of it
that she scarcely moves without 1t, and
even travelling in and out Of the train
from Overlook carries 1t along, and
sings little songs to herself while playing
her accompaniments on the delightful
little instrument.
L Gertrude and Charles for Wyoming, g,
where they will spend the whole month
Of August. Houston Woodward is with
the American Ambulance in France, and
has written some very interesting letters
about his life and work over there
Stanley and George are both training,
I believe, at one Of the camps. and so to
make an Irish bull. Gertrude and Charles
are the only ones at home (seeing that
they have just left as I remarked, for
Wyoming).
The ambulance is calling great many
workers, more than ever now. and the
ready answer of so many Of our young
men is quite wonderful. One of the most
remarkable instances Of this is the sailing
of an entire family for France for hospp
tai work. They are Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Wharton, and their three sons, Harry,
Tom and Bayard.
They did it so quietly, too; Just left
home without a word except to one or
two intimate friends, and are now "over
there" working with the ambulance. In
fact their departure was almost as quiet
as that of Pershing and his many thou.
sand men.
TT is very sad to hear Of the death Of
MIS-, marry putSiiSis oi', WIN was Soii-
stance Devereux. She has been so i'll and
suffering so much for a long time that
we cannot wish her back. for we know
she is better off, but our hearts go out in
sympathy to her little motherless chill
dren. Mrs Butcher was a sister Of An.
telo and Alfred Devereux and daughter
of the late Alfred Devereux and his wife,
who was Miss Constance Antelo. She
married Harry Butcher about fifteen
years ago, and was one Of the prettiest
brides of the season. She died at the
home of her brother on Saturday, and
was buried yesterday morning at St.
Thomas's Church in Villanova.
Al MOTHER death which will throw a
"A large family connection into mourn
ing is that of Mr.. Thomas Roberts, which
took place on Friday. after severe i'll
ness of several days, IN York Harbor
where t.e and his family had gone for the
summer. Mr.. Roberts leaves his wife,
daughter and two sons; Mrs. Theodore
Reath is the daughter and his sons are
M. George w. B. Roberts and Mr..
rbomas Roberts, Jr. Mr.. Roberts was

Mace yesterday afternoon from his River

devoted, and his death will be great
sorrow TO them all.
U,HE Girl Scouts seem to be doing very
l. remarkable work out along the Main
Zine. They go about every Friday and
n,ck the vegetables and fruit at any OF
the large country places where their pres
.noe is asked. Mary Packard is the cap
tain and is directing their work. The
o,vners of places who have far more
,egetables and fruit than they can handle
sand word to the Scouts, and they de-
scend upon the orchards and gardens and
sather up the extras for canning ana
nrs.erying, taking them to the places
s..,snated, where classes are going on
rratty nearly every day., It's awfully
~ood. healthy work II they do not overdo
