For those who have been 10 Deyonshire
IN early summer and have had tea at one
nf ia deIi io,f fpIx
no word of explanation is necessary, but
iof tnose to whom this is novelty visit
TO this Devonshire tea is the best eXplana-
ton that can be made. For'he in the
beautiful sunken garden on the johnson
estate or in the walled and shaded gar
den, now brilliant with its many -colored
ANIMALS and fanked by soping lawns, will
be veritable old English tea party. There
will be Devonshire tea and real Devon
shire cream; this rich-cotted cream is
most essential for the Strawberries, cakes
and other good things that go to make
up Devonshire party.
There will also be two moving picture
shows for the young of all ages, while
music for dancing on the lawn will be
furnished by the Loto'Pep. Orchestra
will be arranged, while sweet lavender and
flowers will be sold by number of young
aides.
The entire affair has been planned by
the social service committee Of the Jeffer-
son Hospital. The social service has be-
come essential to the modern hospital 1t
inquiries into the means the needs, and the
home surroundings Of each patient. II
there Is destitution at home it is relieved.
II there is work to be found for the dis.
charged patient 1t fnds 1t. 1t helps the
tired wife and cares for the children. Many
times after surgical operations men are dis
charged as cured by the hospital who are
too weak to return Immediately to work
and to whom few weeks rest in the coun-
try at Ivycroft Farm is invaluable Then
there are wounded soldiers returning, and
cardiac cases, and typhoid convalescents to
whom Ivycroft is a veritable Garden Of
Eden. The pleasant afternoon to be spent
at Castana will in this way be converted
into health and happiness for others to
whom it means a better preparation for
victory in the renewed struggle for ex-
istence.
TIME Comtesse de Bryas's talk at the
1 Independence Square Auxiliary of the
American Red Cross on Monday will Ger.
tainly be extremely interesting. methinks.
The Comtesse will come from New York
and stop in this city with her cousin. Mrs.
Edwin Swift Balch, of 1906 Spruce street,
on Monday.
She has had all sorts of experience In
France, where she was with Miss Anne
Morgan with the American commission for
devastated France. and she founded the
society known as lie Bon Cite, which pro-
vided shelter for the children and
refugees Of northern France. Besides this,
she and her sister worked in the hospital
at st. Jean de Lux. near Biarritz. as nurses.
She is extremely interesting and has much
to tell of her experience and work and in
the most charming way. The Comtesse
has been asked to take up some special
Gov ernment work by George Creel Of
Washington, and I understand will leave
here next week for trip to the West. The
talk to the workers Of the Red Cross, 1t
COS Chestnut street, will be given at
O'Clock. the usual hour on Monday after
noon. and, be i"ve me, it viii be good.
TN THESE days one has to watch ones
step in everything. And lest we grown
pppers forget there are always the young
s:ers to remind us. You see. it's a bit dim.
cult these days to get just the proper maid
In the proper place. Well, the wee bird told
me about young couple who had moved to
the country recently. They have a fine
quiverful of kiddies, headed by two boys.
The second boy is thirteen years old, and
the other evening some friends Of
Mothers" having been asked to sup, young
John felt the lack of cookie and her hus-
band, who had departed the day before,
For mother, you see, still wanted the
friends for supper, and being one Of the
most hospitable souls on earth, had decided
to have a slam-bang good supper, including
Trojan Strawberries made of the berries
