there as they would on any large, hectic

MRS. RUFUS SCOTT of Germantown,
A'A tells me that there is still very urgent
need for women to carry on the good work
they have been doing at the Germantown
Y. w. G., A. with Auxiliary No. 200. The
last hurry.up call they have had has been
for 500 Siberian Jackets for the American
soldiers who are to spend the winter in
Siberia. The jackets are wonderfully warm
things made of gray flannel and lined with
ART tight paper. There is a corps of girls
packing Christmas boxes out there, too
every day. The boxes are filled with things
brought in by the families of boys over
seas, and I hear that every box has
goodly supply of sweets. There is work
for many more months yet in making gar
ments for the refugees, so 1 guess we
cant sit back and fold our hands for
while anyhow 1 don't believe we'll want
20 after this, do YOU?
= family parties are well on the way
already. hear the Henry Rawle Geyeins

and bringing their darling baby with them
to spend the holiday with DR.. Geyelin's

Marks is in the English army. Nancy
went over there to be married about a
year or more after the beginning of the
war, and before we had entered it. I hear
that Mrs. Geyelin is most attractive and is
great favorite with her in-laws.
y 6INNGAGEMENTS seem to be coming on
- thick and fast. There was Helen
Towers on Saturday, and Ethel Newbold's
yesterday and now Marjory Taylor's to-
day, and all to soldiers, and unless that
! wee bird is mighty wrong thereIl be an
other, in a very short time. Perhaps in a
week, perhaps in "A month or maybe not
until after Christmas but sooner or later
SI'll tell you; and you'll be pleased as
can be.
2 CMALL Allen wrote a letter to Santa last
- week and in it he asked for pairs of
everything: Two dolls and two chairs, and
two little books and two umbrellas and
two parasols and everything but the
Kitchen stove" but all in twos. He is
young believer in the everlasting truth,
z that It is not good for man (or anything
for that matter) to live alone" Finally he
asked for "al the toys Sister wants"
(some engagement that if you knew Sis
ter's wants) Well, he hadn't been SO good
that you could notice it on Sunday; SO
\ Daddy undertook to state, that Sanity did
not come to any but good little boys and

head on one side and replied "Oh all right,
then, but let him give me back my letter"
