"A party the Emergency Aid is get
ting up? It's to be held tomorrow
night on Broad street between Pine and
Spruce streets; and that square is to
be roped off. so there will be no traf-
fic to interfere with the dancing in the
middle Of the street. 1t is to be hoped
that it will be clear: though goodness
knows il it is as hot on Frilay>>1s it
has been for the past fewsdfS no one
would want to dance. However, it does
get a bit cooler at night and on the
broad open street it will be great to
whirl around to stirring music.
The various theatres have lent
scenery for the street. = I don't know
] do know it will look wonderful, for
when the Emergency Aid gets started
doing things it usually does them all
right and Mrs. Tom Robins is getting
II up. Mrs. Warburton. Mrs. George
Lorimcr and number of other women
are deep in the work. There will be
some candy booths, fruit, vegetables
and flowers for sale, and there are to
be several bands to keep the dancing
going NJ
I'VE heard the incest things about the
1 new Mrs. Eckley Coke. You know
Eckley was married yesterday down
in Savannah to Mary Owens. was
talking to girl who knows her. She
had met her last summer and she says
she is very good looking and charm
ing. Has pretty but not too decided
southern accent and seems to be an cx-
tremely sensible, loveable girl. One
who will mix in we'll with strangers:
That's some recommendation for a glri
who is coming to Philadelphia to live.
I always feel sorry for any one going
to a strange city and it seems as II
Philadelphia is particularly hard that
way. But the Coxes are so popular.
there's no question but that the new
Mrs. Coke will be warmly welcomed
and she will keep that welcome for her
own sake once she becomes known. for
] have reason to think my informant
knows.
Eckley is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles f.. Coke, of Paoli. you know.
and is a nephew of Alexander Brown
Coke and Henry Brinton Coke. His
sister is Jane Coke. who is or rather
was, at boarding school this, year at
Middleburg, Va.
7 AM sorry to tell you that Mrs. Ber-
L tram Lippincott, whose condition was
improving very much of late has not
been so we'll. Pleurisy set in as the
typhoid was clearing off so it will be
impossible to move her from the city for
some time.
1t has been long and trying illness.
and her family and friends will be
greatly relieved when she can be moved
from the heat of the city to the. country
or to some resort to recuperate further.
once in a while, between the stories
" of devastation and want in the
lately occupied region of France, ray
of light comes into the darkness. l was
interested in reading a letter Miss Julia
Williamson.sent home recently where
In she tells of her travels to the front.
1t is a long letter and tells of covering
miles and miles of country and town
after town. She is over there doing
of going to "Nadelain Farm" at Nan
titles, which was virtually ruin.
She says that some soldiers who were
there told her that they had been sent
there at the time of the armistice and
that while they were on duty the pro-
prietor of the Farm had come back and
dug up from the cellar 65 900 francs
which he had buried there in 1914.
What a happiness that must have been
to one who had known poverty and pri-
vation all during the war, to find so
much of his one time possessions left
intact, and real money, too.
r HOPE it won't be so hot today for
L Harriet Frazier's wedding, and Alas
tair McCloud too is to be married today
in New York. The Cheston Frazier
nuptials will take place out in Jenkin-
town, where the Fraziers have moved to
their country place. Harriet is named
for her grandmother, the late Mrs. Will
liam West Frazier, who was Miss
Harriet Harrison. She is sister of
George Harrison Frazier, Jr., who is
engaged to Marys Clark, and cousin
of Bob Frazier whose engagement to
I.uella Edwards of Brooklyn was an
nounccd last week.
Charlie Chestop is the son of DR.. and
Mrs. Radcliffe Cheston. of Chestnut
Hill. and brother of Radcliffe Cheston,
Jr, whose wife, Sydney Ellis, }ied this
spring. He is also brother of Betty
and Charlotte Cheston and of Morris
and James Cheston, 4th.
