vI1HILE on the subject of the Mask and
W Wig, / have a bit of a story / would
like to relate. She tyou know her and 1
DO. tool was having tea with a friend one
afternoon about two weeks ago and was
cozily chatting when in came said friends
son. Now, he is student at Penn, as
s Mother proudly explained, and though, of
course. he would not admit it, he did get
along rather well with his studies Son,
who was tall and manly, didn't like that
{ IN the least, and hastily changing the sub
!. ject asked Mother IL he might use the
phone.
The permission granted, he picked up the
receiver and Did Mrs. HIS ears de-
ceive her or didn't the number he gave
belong to the highly renowned speciality
shop which she knew very we'll? Why,
my dear, the good.looking suit she wore
that very minute, and which every one
admired so much, had come from the very
same shop. And then came Sons voice:
"Hello. is this B-'s?' Good gracious!
she had been right; it was the same one)
"Well, this Is Mr.. NJ. Is my gown ready
for ftting?" pursued he. Right here
she could not refrain from setting her
Y teacup down with an astonished clatter)
y ut isn't? Now. look here. don't you know
& hafta have that?" and more, oh! much
more. to the same effect.
Tomorrow at four? Well, all right" and
he hung up resignedly. But when he be-
held Mrs. lis bewildered face and saw
how convulsed with mrth his mother was
4 he wanted to know where the joke came
In. There was nothing funny that he could
see about giving up perfectly good Sat-
urday afternoon for fitting.
h 'Oh, but don't you see, dear?" his
r-mother choked, Mrs. H didn't know
that you are in the Mask and Wig and I
guess she thought you'd gone crazy!"
And then the three of them did have a
laugh, assure you.
you know you really and truly can
h ~ make two pairs Of socks on four
needles at one time? Now am telling you
the truth. 1t not only "can be did," but
It is being did" this very minute; and
what is more. Eleanor Hartman, the
laughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Karl Edward
Hartman of Wister road, Ardmore, is
I doing 1t and Is demonstrating how it can
4 be done at the Arimore Red Cross head
4 quarters. Think of 1t! A pair can be
knitted in the time it usually takes to
make one sock. It's called the new double
knitting. Miss Hartman can make a
Z pair in this way in two days And she's
only fourteen years old, mind you. Some
knitter!
7 HEAR Jean Bulitt is to be Elizabeth
: Thompson's maid Of honor; in fact. her
only attendant, when she becomes the
bride of John Drexel, Jr.. in New York on
April 81. Jean and her father have been

Dick, you know. Dick was first with the
City Troop. you know. and then went into
the officers camp down there. The camp
X closes on April 10 and Mr.. Bullitt and Jean
