no YOU remember last summer the
Dhousc of the Hostess League which
was opened down in Ocean City for
returned convalescent men! l told you
of it at the time. Well. it's been
going on this year. too. and the women
IN the league rented an apartment on
the boardwalk and are there themselves
daily nursing the sick boys back 10
health. And the men are so grateful IL
certainly has paid to take care OF them.
The men express their appreciation IN
various ways, | can tell you. and when
the women interested hear that one boy
said "he had no recollection of his own
mother. but when he was ut the Hostess
House he had had a dozen mothers and
he wished that any one of them might
be his own" they must feel glad of
their own inconvenience.
Mrs. Kenton Warnc is president of
the Hostess House. Miss Anna Craeth
is first vice president; Mrs. II. X.
Crawford, second vice president; Mrs.
s. w. Webster, treasurer; Mrs. Il.
Maschal, assistant treasurer Miss
Eleanor Ferguson, secretary; Miss Bes-
sic Macmillan, assistant secretary {;
Mrs. a. Kcseler, corresponding sccre
tary, and Mrs. A. w. Craig. head of
entertainment committee. Last week
they took care Of thirty five men. Now
that's going some, isn't it?
MIoObb you DelleVe II, rummaSe
w sales are starting up again. But
the unbelievable part Of it is that there
are still things to send to them, They
are getting one up for October at the
Independence Square Red Cross Auxil-
larry, and though the postcards are
only just now going out to the mem
bers of the auxiliary, the telephone is
busy answering those who wish to send
articles in.
l happened to stop in yesterday when
three wheeled baby carriage and
thirty five flower pots were offered for
sale, together with tin bathtub which
had leak in it, but as the person
who offered this remarked. "You can
put n cork in it and it'll only leak
a little while you're taking a bath"
So. you see, there's use for every
thing, is there not? And, bless your
heart, they welcome anything at Il rum
mage sale, because there is always
bound to be some one who wants what
ever is sent And. after all. it's easier
to get fourth wheel for a baby coach
than it is to buy whole coach. pro
viding you have the baby to go in it.
uOT weather, you'll no doubl agree
- Don't you pity those poor Templars
with their long, hot coats and their
spEk and span gloves? If it had only
been last week, when we had a little
cooler weather; but, then, conventions
never by any possible chance have any
thing but either rainy weather or stuff
like this. And stuff like this is not
pleasant for anybody, although you al
ways expect it in September.
A certain suburbanite who lives in
delightfully."- cool house and has an
equally delightful but rather sunny
garden strolled out across the lawn the
other day to exchange a few remarks
with her gardener. Its a warm day.
isn't it, William?" she said, sympa.
thetically. YES, ma am" replied Will
liam, squinting up at the sun, but it
wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't
80 much humanity in the air"
