The Allied Tea Room there is a great
cess, hear. Mrs. Cassard and Catherine
are working very hard and their helpers
are ION the job too. Peggy Thayer and
Gladys Fox are down there this week, and
I'm told are helping beautifully at the Tea
Room. 1t must be delightful little place
to go after an afternoon dip. Think Of
iced tea and cinnamon toast, and all to
help the Great Cause.
II HEAR Mrs. George Thayer started
= South and West on Monday to Join
Captain Thayer in Texas. She is going
to stay with him until September. At
first there was some idea Of the children
going with her, but it was decided it would
be better for them to stay in climate
to which they were accustomed.
So Mary and George are going next week
with Mrs George Packard and her chill.
dren to Saranac Lake in the Adrondacks.
And Betty and Gertrude will stay at.home
for while and about the middle of Au.
gust go down to Beach Haven for three
weeks.
Mrs. Thayer deserves a rest if any one
did, and l hope she manages to find a
little down there without family cares for
q couple Of months She has been doing
wonderful work up here. Queen Mary's

down to the r. De Witt Cuyler's house in
Haverford, where the members meet now
and sew in the large ballroom.
1OW would you feel if you woke up in

your window? weli that's what the
people who live near the Marines Camp
1t Paoli are being treated to this summer.
For the boys march off early in the morn
Ing on their hikes. singing their hearts out.
And you feel as you awaken and hear
them as they tramp by with such as
these could the enemy conquer?" There's
D something So courageous and daring
about the swing of their walk and tho
sound Of their fine voices. They are all
such fine, strong, well.built men and, best
Of all. they are all SO good.natured and
Jolly. There never could be any doubt
but that we will win the war, and win
soon. with these boys to fight for US. God
bless them!
