n1D you hear that Edith Gillette is to
Be married on October 5. a Saturday?
Saturday is a sort of nice day TO choose,
isn't It? For. according to the old rhyme,
Saturday. no day at ALL" and so you have
no superstitions to think about. Anyhow
as was saying, it's nice day to choose.
Edith is perfect beauty. think. and
you probably agree with me. She has the
lovelest soft eyes and such pretty hair
and a perfectly lovely expression.
The lucky man in this marriage is Dick
Brown. more diynihedly known as Richard
p. Brown. and the wedding is to take place
at o'clock in the evening in Calvary
Church, Germantown.
TIIORD came yesterday that Ancc
!" Gwynne Of New York. and Lieuten-
ant Horace r. r. Allen were married in
Paris on August 13. You know. Alice
Gwynne is the daughter of the late Edward
, Gwynne. of New York, and IA niece of Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Of New York and
Newport. The interesting bit to Philadel.
phians is the fact that Major Barclay War
burton was one Of the witnesses. for, you
see even if you are an American in France.
you have n civil ceremony and you have
to have regular witnesses, and Major War
burton was one and Major Lydig, of New
York, was another for Lieutenan, Allen,
and Miss Gwynne had Mrs. George Munroe
and Harry Lehr as her witnesses. Harry
Lehr having married one of the Drexcls,
a daughter of the late MIR. and Mrs Joseph
Drexel. of this city, is an interesting per
sonality to Phladelphians. aside from his
famous dinners and remarkable costumes.
He is Batimorean, but has lived prin-
cipally in New York and is now in France
engaged in war work The religious we'd
ding ceremony for Lieutcnant Allen and
his bride followed the civil one and took
place in the American Church of the Holy
Trinity, in Paris.
MRS. ARCHIBALD BARKLIE came
AVA home this week and will open her
house in Wayne for three weeks. She Is
going to spend the winter in Boston. to
be near Majcr Barklie, who is stationed at
Camp Aver. But. you see, Mrs Barklie
promised to see the Cafeteria Of the Horse
Show through, and so she is going to do it
and has opened her house ana will have
meetings of committees and various
preparations there until after the show
=,
his wife, and Mrs. Edward Stettinius and
her daughter, Of Washington. are coming
up to stay with Mrs. BarEle as her guests
over the show. Admiral Grayson is the
Presidents doctor, you know. think
Mrs. Barklie is an awfully good sport to
go to SO much trouble to keep her word
and stand by her friends in this work
For you would not blame her in wartimes
II she did not come on when she had a
perfectly good excuse not to, owing to her
husbands change of camp. But she is a
good sport, and that's one reason why
every one likes her much. She can al
ways be relied upon. and she's simple and
unassumng and charming and does vast
amount of work.
MRS. BARCLAY WARBURTON will
AVA give n decidedly interesting luncheon
at the Ritz tomorrow for Floyd Gibbons,
the American war correspondent, who lost
an eye "over there" when rushing to the
assistance of Major Berry, when the latter
was hit during tire charge or June 4 at
Chateau Thierry. Some sentenced. He
went "over the top" with the Rainbow
Division, you know, and is certainly one
interesting. Major General Waller, l.. S.
Nj. c., will be one of the guests.
EOUR patriotic little girls out in Ger
mantown gave a fair recently on the
lawn Of Doctor Rhoad's house, on School
lane, for the Red Cross. They were Mil
dred and Elizabeth Gray, Frances k'elin
and Oracle Pitfield. They sold paper dolls
and ice cream cones, candy and cake, and
there were also grabbass, which are al.
ways exciting. The proceeds amounted to
$21, and the young workers handed it all
over to the Red Cross
Little Oracle Pitfield Is very specially
interested in the soldiers now, for isn't
her brother-in-law, Sergeant Jacob Riegel
Jr., one? OF course he is and he's some
brotherin-law, let me tell you. So, of
course, she's working even harder to help
the soldiers
no YOU feel about caterpillars as l do?
- II you do, you're mighty glad that the
summer is fast coming to a close, and that
you won't have to meet them across your
