and it's simply marvellous TO see now n'uch
money they have raised. The overseas :

amounts received In that club Is now more
than $4,000. The meeting was held this
morning.
It is remarkable TO note how many mems
organizations contribute to this fund. It's
natural, however, for they realize more
than the majority of women do how much
q smoke means TO man, and they give
gladly to help the boys 'over there" Just
lately the Philadelphia Club sent a con-
tribution of $3.50, employees of Section A.

VNEREN'T you surprised to see the Blue
w Devils at the Clothier Show? We were
all prepared to see them today at Mrs.
Munp's affair for the Overseas Hospitals,
90 when some dozen Of them turned up at
the Pony Show there was much excitement
And didn't you love the monkey? knew
they would have ponies and dogs and inno-
cent little sheep grazing in the held1 Tor
sale but I never dreamed thered be
monkey. did you?
thought the children would lose an
eye watching Alister st. Clair Campbell in
his kiltes, and heard one youngster say
to another in loud whispers, DO you think
he'd smile IL played 'Tickly. tickly on the
knee'?" I'm sure they expected bag pipes,
at least.
The Blue Devils seemed to have good
time though they could not speak word
of English. and some of us were timid
about our French. The evening was even
more fun than the afternoon. so l think
we may say twas a great success.
DID you see Ellen Mary Cassatt yester-
~ day. too? / could scarcely believe my
eyes, but 10 and behold! ;here she was
driving a huge motortruck along the
thing you see these days, Nancy, my child,
said I. And looked at the contents of
the truck. 1t was rummage. Then I re.
membered that the Girl Scouts were to
have their rummage sale this week at 1907
Market street. I was about to go over
and see how things were getting on when
met friend. who told me OF the troubles
Of the Scouts. 1t seems they had been
given the Mastbaum building for their
sale and two days ago the Government
commandeered It, and so the girls had to
tear around town to find a kindhearted
landlord minus a tenant. and in properly
prominent part of the city at that, with
this result: That the rummage sale has
had to be postponed to May cS, "a and %
and will be held at 1928 Chestnut street.
So II you have anything left in your
garrets let Miss Cassatt know and she'll
drive her truck up to your door.
LAVE you heard that Gay Tilghman is
IL going to take UP nursing? Not the
nrst-aid or surgical dressings or hygienic
courses, but an honest-to-goodness full
course, and she goes into the University
Hospital on Monday. They tell me she was
awfuly anxious to 20 abroad and help,
but Mrs. Tilghman did not feel she could
let both children so, as Dick. you know.
will go there eventually. So Gay has de.
cided to stay on this side and prepare
to graduate as a finished nurse
Mrs. Tilghman and her daughter and
young Mrs. Tilghman came up from Au.
gusta recently. Mary and the baby are
staying with Miss Woodvllle at Seven.
teenth and Walnut streets for little
while. and next week she will probably
join her mother.in-law at Tulip HILL i'm st.
Davids. In June she Qnd the baby will go
up to York harbor to join her mother,
Mrs. Woodvile Bohlen. who will open her
house there the early part OF next month.
I'd like to see Mary with her baby; she
must be picture. She is certainly pretty,
don't you think?
no YOU remember the way the dogs
used to get excited when people first
started to take them out in their cars with
them? They would stand up, put their
ears straight up into the air bark at every
thing that went by and nearly go crazy to
get out of the car. They have got more
accustomed to 1t now and take II quite
calmly. passed one yesterday that was
really more blase than any "nouveau riche''
ever saw. He was fox terrier, brown
and white and the car was the kind-I
ought to be able to tel you the make. but
