News of Society and Activities of Wonnem

Headquarters have been establishe1 here on Twentieth street, north. next to Jemison's office, and Mrs. Eugene Munger will act as general chairman and will be assisted by a splendid eom- inittee of workers.
 The volunteer relief committee will act as the packing committee, with Mrs. Raymond Jones. chairman. Mrs Roberly Munger will be chairman oi the receiving committee; Mrs. B. M. Alien, the collecting committee; Mrs. John Fletcher, the shipping committee, Mrs. Louis Saks, the asserting com nittee, and Mrs. oscar Hundley, the publicity committee.
 The Red Cross will undertake the task of collecting and clothing thou sands of women and children and even men in the devastated countries of Eli rope.
 While the gulf division chapters a,e conducting the collection, the other 'ei- ,tsions of the United States also are doing their share.
 Three months after the armistica was signed there were in Paris ap. proXimately 100000 refugees unable ts return to their homes before spring
 That the principal sufferers from lack of clothing among the refugee population are the women and children is shown from the report of one Re, Cross clothing dispensary in ParIs, covering the months of September. De tober, November and December las; It aided 776S refugees, dissrihutinS among them 40,s17 garments. Of the number aided 6112 were women anu children and 1775 were men. Up t. September l of last year the Red Gross had distributed nearly half a millioH articles of clothing to refugees in ths Paris district alone
 An illustration of the increasing de- mand for clothing among the refugee of France can be seen in a report oil the western district of the country. In September the number was 15,946. in october 1t increased to 1S.S5S, and the following month it amounted tc 20,Z41 In the months of September, october, November and December, last, the Red Cross had distributed clothlns 10 373.019 refugees outside of the Paris district.
 Some idea for the enormous need for clothing among the refugees of the devastated and liberated regions oi France and Belgium can be obtainei from a Red Cross report which shows that up to last fall it had distributed ,G29.00 articles of clothing and 260,- 900 pairs of shoes.

cal, and besides, he is very broadmind- ed. When he realized that I had fully made up my mind to go~on the stage, he said. Just make a success; that's all ask your breeding and your edu- cation will stand you in good stead. and when you are tired. there's always q home to come back to- Now isn't that nice sort of parent to possess
 '"Tell me something about your nu- sical studies" l asked. after this sen- sible. sane story that nice Miss Ruth oswald told me-so unlike most of the stale" stories one hears" With whom have you studied and where and when?'
 q was pupil for several years of Perley Dunn Aldrich. who is Paul Alt houses teacher.' she said. and thAN l studied at the Peabody institute in Baltimore with Adlin Fremin-and l. ! received the Scholarship medal over I5 contestants there. Then I had the
 most wonderful chance; I was in New York with some friends and dining one evening at the Claridge, Mir. St. Leger. Madame Melba's accompanist, dropped ir My friend. Mir Tate. the big Aus tralian manager, with whom I was din- ing, saw Mir. St. Leger and he is al Australian, too, by the way-and ask ed him to join us. After dinner it was suggested that we'd join some friends who were having a little musicale And when we got there I sang. I happen ed to be in rather good voice and MT St. Leger happened to like my voice which is lyric soprano, and he said: I want Madame Melba to hear you sing The result was that she did, and she said that she would give me some lessons. Imagine my delight! I coach ed with her for several weeks, and I regard that as the greatest event in my life. She is to me the diva of all divas-. the very atmosphere of her presence is musical and her coloratura work the most perfect I've ever heard.
 Now, to make a long story short" Miss Oswald said, some friends New York introduced me to MT. Hen ry Blossom-this was two years ago just after I came out of school and he gave me a part in a play, called
 The Grass Widow, at the Princess theatre, and then I stepped into the present company, Have Heart,' af- ter last summer in stock company work
 Every experience is just one rung of the ladder higher up,' Miss Oswald said. and I am trying to profit by each one. I adore opera-and have sung a number of opera roles-'Mimi' in Boheme, Aida and several others. I have done lot of concert work and last summer when heard Maggie Teyte give cycle of French songs at Aeo- Han hall-I became more inspired over concertizing than ever before. Maggie Teyte is such perfect artiste in every respect and her French is so exquisite 1t appealed to me tremendously, be- cause I love the French composers more than any other; Charpentier and DeBussy especially. I adore to sing Louise Indeed opera is my ambi- tion and maybe one of these days may have chance to try my voice out"
 This last. pretty Ruth Oswald told

1 hadn't any idea what sort of girl 1 was going to meet; her name sound cd rather imposing; it is printed out i'll full, you know, in the press notices" as well as the programme-Miss Ruth | Oswald-and as most of the stage peo- | pie I meet have "flossy" names at I tached to them, such as kitty" Dol l ly," "Mable" Pearl" or Dorothy" always feel. before meeting them, that ! I've sort of" got their number, and can drift into their mode of thinking rather leisurely and automatically, but-Ruth Oswald-well, let's hurry
 on and get to her and Ill tell you just what she's 1ike-despite the dignified name.
 Of course, when I arrived at the Tutwiler she was there. as she said she'd be; she couldn't very we'll be any, where else-and the girl I met was g Trim. unpainted, unfrillsd, imposed nice, everyday girl She didn't look like an actress-less like Heading lady'--in fact. she didn't look like any kind of a "player-queen' at all. She looked just like a sweet, lovely, quiet ladylike girl in her very early twen- ties-which she is!
 Miss Ruth Oswalds name is but the indication of her lovely personality- dignified--reserved- modest-her big. gray-blue eyes, her straight, patrfcfan nose, her beautiful mouth and more beautiful teeth-and her lovely dark hair, falling in natural waves about her aristocratic forehead-all make her an unusual sort of girl-certainly not the type that one Is in the habit of meeting generally.
 To crown it all-when I said some thing about her name, Ruth" being Biblical, she smiled back one of her fascinating smiles and said: "Well--why not? My father is a minister--a Presbyterian minister at that-and so 1t is only natural that his
 daughter should have Biblical name" (Which brings on more talk" sug-
 gested quickly, taking the "cue" from
 her, for however and whenever did
 you happen to be an actress if your
 father is a Presbyterian minister?" "Of course, he didn't want me to be-"
 she said shyly but I have always loved the stage; I presume it is be-
 cause I have always loved music and
 have studied music and sung a great
 deal in public. Why, the first time
 ever sang on the platform I sang
 duet with my father: he is very musi-
