make such picturesque variation to the
dark afternoon clothes of the dancers.

T WAS interested yesterday to hear that
Gay Tilghman is down in Washington
taking a regular course in nursing. It's
quite remarkable what the war has de-
veloped. So many girls who formerly did
nothing but go to parties Il am not criti-
cizing for moment; there was nothing
else for them to do and no necessity for
them to do anything escI went to it,"
so to speak, with such good will when the
necessity, for nurses arose. And we have
in our midst Marion Wurts, who has been
studying at the Pennsylvania Hospital;
Eugenia Cassatt, who has studied in New
York and at the Presbyterian Hospital
here: Emily Welsh, who is hard at it at
Camp Dix, besides Gay Tilghman and
many others who have taken up serious
nursing and mean to make it a life work.
They will be invaluable in our hospitals.
W liar iS i,ISf u,i.b
so many of the regular doctors and nurses
in Europe doing their bit for the wounded
and MANNED. Gwen Martin is taking up
vocational therapy out at Bockley. | hear.
And the younger girls OF eighteen and
nineteen, who would have been debutantcs
last year and this. are busily engaged in
some solid, sensible work, too. It's fine for
the character, l tell you.
LIE WAS only fourteen and pretty nearly
- all the boys--or young men, excuse
me-in the place were alw. Us coming to
call on his sister, who was twenty and as
pretty could be. Brother admired sister
immensely and her popularity, as COM
pared with other boys sisters, even more.
Finally one of the many who came to
call managed to captivate the little lady
and after a sufficient time they were mar
ried Ever and anon the whole family
missed her and were heard to remark it
on many an occasion.
One evening mother was talking to four
teen.year- and she said, well, have you
found any other gir. to equal NJ"
mo, l haven't" said he, "and I don't be-
ieve I will. Why. just used to wish I
wasn't her brother SO | could call on her"
