THE Committee Class was great last
night! just lots of fun, and so many
dinners before the party that Iii say every
body who belongs to the class went to some
eats" somewhere before. Catherine Coke
looked particularly pretty. She has ~uch
exquisite features. don't you think? Aris-
tocrat is written all over her: but don't
think from that she's a snob, because she
isn't; she's perfectly charming.
Another pretty sub-deb is Elizabeth Bar
tow, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Barlow. She had a dinner before the
dance last night and certainly looked a
picture with her bright color and laughing
eyes when she and her guests entered the
ballroom. l see the Won SAauensee boys
are going aroiau a lot. They are staying
with their grandmother, Mrs. Robert To-
land. Their mother, who was Miss Matilda
Toland, has come on here to stay with her
mother. The boys are very attractive.
They were guests at the Owen Wister din
ner before the class.
They have many cousins here in the
Dale and Toland connections and are bound
to have good time for their own sakes
anyhow.
l was amused to think that in the Sat
urday evening class there were three girls
who, though not out are already engaged
and their engagements are announced, to
say nothing of several we think are en-
gagged but about whom no announcement
has yet been made. It's the war, of course,
as otherwise they would have come out,
and even if engaged 1t would not have
been announced until after the year of
social doings. The three | refer to were
guests of the Henry Thompsons, of Will
mington, at the Bellevue-Stratford before
the dance: Mary Glendinning, whose tiance
is Morris Freeman; Marys Clark, who Is
engaged to George Harrison Frazier, Jr.,
and Phebe Mexican Downs, who is engaged
to young Mr.. Sargent, of New Haven or
somewhere in Connecticut, could not just
swear where. Well, it was great last night,
as ] said before.
COOD night! Two more rummage sales
~ in the offing! One next week at 1925
Chestnut street on Wednesday and Thurs
day, and this is for the benefit of St. Anna's
Home for Aged Women at 2016 Race street,
which is cared for by the Sisters of st.
Margaret an Episcopal sisterhood. you
know. ! hear this sale is to be quite un.
usual as the committee has had such a
remarkable number of perfectly new dona-
tions. Then the second affair opens on
April at 800 Chestnut street, and will be
for the social service work of the Jefferson
Hospital.
DID you hear that Heath Barnard, Jr.,
- son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Heath
Barnard, of 1902 De Lancey street, has
been made captain in the 3I0th Field
Artillery, And l hear he also is acting
battalion adjutant. He's with the army of
occupation in Grincourt, France, at present.
Heath was originally a City Trooper and
served with the troop on the Mexican bor-
der three summers ago. On leaving there
he was commissioned a second lieutenant
of cavalry. He went through the officers
training camp at Fort Niagara, and was
then commissioned first lieutenant in the
field artillery and assigned to the 310th
Field Artillery, Seventy ninth Division at
Camp Meade. From there he went to the
school of fire at Fort Sill, Okla, thence to
France in July of last year. and over there
went through the officers artillery school
at La Contine.
Heath's sister, Margaret, married Ted
McCawley, you remember. He's in the
navy, and SO when he's on the seas Mar
garet and their baby stay mostly with the
Bannards in this city. They have been
married about three years, I think; maybe
more.
.nUR returning soldiers certainly have
~ some wonderful tales to tell. One of
the members of a Philadelphia regiment
was coming into headquarters with two
German prisoners, The prisoners were
walking ahead and he was following with
his rifle and pack. They came to trench
and the Germans jumped it, but when our
man jumped he fell in, for his rifle and
pack were too heavy. WE'LL do you think
those Germans ran? Not a bit Of it. They
climbed down into the trench, helped our
! hero up and, finding he had broken his arm,
one took his gun and the other his pack
and they proceeded on ahead while he fol-
lowed, holding his arm with the other one.
When they reached a dressing station
the two prisoners stood outside and refused
to give themselves up to any one else to
!, take them back to the lines. No, they
were his prisoners, and so they waited
patiently until his arm was set and then
they started off again. carrying his things
for him until they reached the lines and
he handed them over to the authorities and
was himself sent to the hospital for fur
ther treatment. Can you beat it?
