weeks at her home, 1912 Spruce street.
Mrs. John Frederick Lewis is very i'll, too,
and Mrs. Arthur Emlen Newbold, Jr. They
are all three so active in good works that
they have been greatly missed. Mrs. New
bold was really feeling wretchcd the night
she danced at the Easter party at the Ritz
Carlton. She told some one ut the time
that she did not believe she could do it, but
because she had given her word to do
solo dance she appeared and went through
with it and, in fact, danced exceedingly
well. Typhoid developed a, very few days
after that.
hear that Mrs. Lippincott is a tiny
shade better, but she has been gravely ill
and her family have been most anxious, to
say nothing of her friends, whose name is
legion. Mrs. Lippincott is certainly
whole hearted, unselfsh; charming woman.
She has been so Interested in the work for
the soldiers. She Joined the ''Cheero" Club
at the Independence Square Auxiliary of the
Red Cross, and loved to wait on the boys,
herself dealing out the ''eats." She visited
the hospitals every week regularly, and she
took very great interest in everything
uplifting, not a passing interest, but last
ing one of years standing.

every one loves Mrs John Frederick Lewis,
whose charities are as wide as Mrs. Lip
pincott's. We will all breathe a sigh of
relief when we hear that these good women
are entirely out of danger. Typhoid is not
exactly what might be called joke, you
know.
