as picture in her Emergency Aid Aide
costume and "Ag" BrocSie as busy as

"Just one more. you know"
Kitty Brnton is certainly pretty isn't
enc? Not so brilliant perhaps as her
sister Alberta Cesare dimpling as
the other sister Josephine du Pont was
when she was Kitty's age, but just so
sweet and bright and fair and very much
Ia earnest. In fact all the Emergency Aid
Aides are muchly in earnest. Have you
seen their new hats? Just like. the SOL
diers' Overseas caps, only in dark blue
to match the suits and they have a red
cockade at the side. Awfully fetching,
should say.
WIERENT you sorry to hear of young
w Dan Newhalls death? He was a son
Newhall Danny had been i'll with infu-
enza and a typhoid complication for two
weeks at the Jefferson Hospital His
mother who is one of the "gamest" women
know and one of the very smartest look
ing in Philadelphia went down to the
Hospital and stayed there and nursed him.
His father was in Scotland for a number
of months. He is in the Navy, you know,
b1at x1x,,
Few months ago and made Lieutenant
Commander and assistant chic of staff of
the Fourth Naval District with headquar-
'ters here.
Danny was named for his grandfather
the late Daniel Newhall who was one of
the foremost officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad at the time Of his death and was
one of the famous Newhall brothers whose
record as cricketers would be difficult to
beat.
Blackwell tne of the Newhall twins is
Also Ill with influenza but so far there are
no other complications, and there is every
reason to expect his speedy recovery.
Dams death occurred on Tuesday.
HEARD yesterday that Mrs. William
L Coke Wright Eleanor Carpenter. that
was) is down with influenza, but so far
there are no alarming complications, in
fact her temperature has not gone beyond
103. Ensign Wright has been sent here
to the ordnance department at Nicetown
and is with his wife helping to take care
of her.
Haven't they had a time of 1t since they
were married. First he was sent to New.
port In the summer of 1917 and down he
went with diphtheria, and then Eleanor
contracted 1t and had to be nursed in
their little home while Billie was in the
Naval hospital. About a year before her
marriage Eleanor was i'll with appendicitis
and had a rather bad operation.
She's been very we'll lately however and
there is every reason to hope that her pres.
cnt attack will not be severe.
CARAH NELSON MADEIRA, who has
~ been down in Texas with her husband
and only just returned to the Nelson home
in st. Davids a few weeks ago. is down
with influenza too. But in this case also
its not very severe attack Sarah is the
daughter of the Lewis Nelson's you know
and married Crawford Madeira last winter
She is a mighty pretty small person and
very extremely popular in the younger set.
T HEAR that Mrs. Bob Strawbridge has
taken a house at 1908 Sixteenth street !
N. w. Washington for the winter and will |
go down to-day. Major Strawbridge is
stationed near Washington and his wife |
naturally wants to be near him. Anita, |
their very attractive daughter, is going |
10 boarding school in Virginia for the |
winter
Mrs. Bob montgomery is going back to
Washington too, to be near Bob who is in |
the service and stationed there. Bill Mont
gomery and his wife are also in Washing
ton, though they come up to Radnor for
the week-ends very often. Mrs William
Montgomery was Fannie Brock YOU re-
member. a sister Of Sarah and Betty Brock
and Of Ella Du Barry.
T TELL you you have to be careful these
days when the youngsters are growing
up ana taking notice upon all occasions.
Often they say things just to be funny,
but sometimes those things are funny.
Nest-ce.pas?
The father and mother in a certain
family were discussing matters in general
at dinner recently and mother announced
to a guest that there was one thing she
insisted on always, and that was that her
husband do the carving. 1T does not look
well for the head of the house not to
carve at the table" she artlessly remarked.
HE should always carve. always appear
as the head" Appearances are often de-
ceitful." remarked the small daughter, from
a clear sky. And a general howl went up
around that table. NANCY WYNNE.
