VNHERE was a Red Cross rally out at

pices of the Wayne branch of the society

course everybody was on hand to hear
Lieutenant Frank Sutton, who gave a
talk on his experiences at the front and,
as everybody who has heard him knows
they are some experiences He told again
about giving the Turks 'as good as they
sent in the way of hand grenades, and
incidentally losing a hand during the send
ing. IT. certainly seems to be incidental
to him, for he drives his own car. plays
an awfully good game of golf and does
all kinds of things with his one left hand.
He's the most popular person I ever saw;
everybody is so fond of him. Mrs. Henry
Brooks, chairman of the Wayne Red Cross.

ISN'T it wonderful how you hear of an
engagement on one day and almost be-
Tore you have time to breathe YOU hear
OF the wedding? There's Pauline Maynard
and Bill Taylor. Their engagement was
announced only about a month ago and
then Pauline came up here from Knoxville
to stay, and 10 and behold, she'll never
90 back to Knoxville as Pauline Maynard.
Cause why? Well. they decided that
owing to the exigencies of war"-have you
noticed how I like that expression, "exi-
gencies of war? I've got a run on that
now-theyd be married now.
Well. to return to the wedding 1t was
decided last week that the wedding should.
take place on Saturday and take place it
did, at the home of Miss Mary Vanuxcm
in Chestnut HILL for you see Miss Van
uxem is an aunt of Pauline's.
In these days of exquisite looking ready
made frocks it is not impossible to be mar.

In fetching gowns even on one days notice.
And in this case there was more than one
days notice, because there was time to
have Elizabeth Maynard, Paulines sister,
and Elizabeth Madden dear friend. come
UP from Tennessee to be maids of honor,
and Eleanor Atkin and Edith Harvey. also
of Knoxville, came up to he bridesmaids.
Then Marion Taylor, Bits sister, and
Patty Borie and Mary Hebard were the
bridesmaids from Philadelphia. Patty
Borie is first cousin of Bills, you know.
Bill wanted to have his brother, Captain
Clement Newbold Taylor, as best man. but
he could not get on, Francis. second
brother, acted the part Newhold YOU
know. is engaged to Anne Meirs, and I
suppose that will be the next wedding We'll
hear of.
A ND we have in our midst these days
xAa new Master Walker, son Of DR.. and
Mrs. Warren Walker. Mrs. Walker was
pretty Helen Perot, with her glorious
golden hair, you remember. The Walkers
have been living in Ardmore since they
moved from Twenty-second street. An
other arrival in the social world as we'll as
whirl is a small daughter for the Houston
Dunns. Mrs. Dunn was Elsie Taylor. The
Dunns are extremely popular members of
the younger married set Of this city, as
are the Walkers.
AREN'T they cunning, these little wee
n kiddies that you see every once in a
while in uniforms, who want to- be just
like daddy or brother? Most of them have
.t;f a.
they march along the street. with mother
holding their hand tight. Yes, and some
of them are quite ''up" on military ETH
quette, let me tell you. AS for instance:
There was a certain small seven-year-old
walking along, proud to pieces of his
reg'lar sailor suit. People are apt to
notice you so much more If you are in
uniform. you know, and he was realizing
the truth of this fact and enjoying it lot
when whom should he see approaching
him but another sailor-a real one, and
not just pretend one" with bang
showing under his hat. Well, do you
think he didn't know what was expected
of him? Believe me. he did His little
mind knew that that sailor was his su-
perior and what do you do to your SUI
perior? You salute him, of course.
Hadn't he seen that done lots of times?
So he stood very still and very straight
and very tense and very stiff and saluted-
oh, splendidly! And the big sailor looked
down and saw his manly little counterpart
and gravely and with infinite courtesy re-
turned that salute. Nice of him, wasn't it?
For when we realize how many times a
day he probably has to make a salute
anyhow, he might easily have walked past
without noticing the wee small boy
