en-. DAYS Of the Art Alliance"
NOME doings in the Stevens Heckscher
y household, aren't there? One Hopkins
r,ddv has the measles and one HecKscher
mia has chickenpox and the remaining
r,.ctscher and Hopkins children are at the
,,one Of the Heckschers' grandmother, Mrs.
THOMAS Leaning, with whom the Heck
.chers lived until their fathers marriage
70 Mrs. Hopkins. I think 1t was pretty
nicely arranged myself, for the honors in
either sickness or health do not go to
.itber side of the families. but are quite
evenly divided. Fortunately, the illnesses
are not severe and so. aside from the In
convenience Of being auarantined, there
has only been good deal Of joking and
fun over it.
IIAvE you noticed the crowds every
IL morning outside Of the, Rummage sale
on Chestnut street above Tenth? Why, it's
almost as much as your life's worth to get
In; but, once in, believe me you are glad
YOU went, for they really have perfectly
wonderful things for SALE some old, some
new and all good-looking and displayed to
the very best advantage.
There's crowd off and on all day, as
they only let few in at a time. 1t seems
II really is necessary. too. because other.
wise there would be little or no order It's
to help the Home for Cripples and Mrs.
James Mundy, Miss Adele Tack, Mrs.
Thomas T. Hunter. Mrs. Anthony IIirst,
Mrs. W. d. Watson and number of other
women are interested.
THE Women Writer'S Club is planning a
1 big time for next Monday night Major
William A. Garrett of the Midvale Steel
and Ordnance Works and a member of the
railroad commission to France. will speak
on his experiences and observations-in
so far as the censor allows-whch we
are told even at that will prove to be an
eye-opener for some Of us.
The women writer's have a Red Cross
auxiliary of their own, you know. and turn
out a great many congresses and knitted
garments each month. They have also
stocking machine now and the members
are much excited over learning how to knit
by machine. They have two very attrac-
tive rooms in the Art Alliance Building and
are going to give their annual dinner at
the Art Alliance on April II.
These annual dinners have come to be
quite some affairs, for there Is much talent
among these writer's and the entertain.
ments are usually quite remarkable. This
year there are to be six or seven vaudeville
stunts by members of the club during the
dinner
WHAT do you think Of the tobacco fund
F" of the Emergency Aid having passed
the $4,000 mark by $4,000?
II appears they made more than $4,000
in, Iata 20
with other contributions for tobacco Jam
and chocolate have received altogether $780,,
s77.21 since they started the Overseas Club.
That certainly Is going some. and I think
the women who are doing this work really
have a right to pat themselves on the
back for the success Of their undertaking
don't you?
lave You noticed how many Philadel
: phia women who have been spending
the winter in Washington have come UP
TO town in the last two weeks-Mrs. Harry
Hart and Mrs. Strawbridge and several
others? They tell me it's all because OF
the income tax.
i hope they won't get like the man in
Fontaine Foxs cartoon. who worked out
MS income tax and calculated all over the
moor and the ceiling and the doors and win
dows and finally climbed up on the big
furnace pipe and began making calcula
tons there.
Even ] with my little pencil and paper
ana income on sac in the saving funt
n~riy went raving crazy about it, For
sou see that $<6 was not there the whole
sf" last year and how calculate the Interest
= Income derived from s12 in September
10 October, sie in November and s12 in
pscembsr at ss5-10o per cent?
ana had to add that income to tn,
osner. I tell you It was one awful Job
oscauss you want to be honest and patri
oac above all things. so far be it from m,
iaeat the Government out of one cent.
