II NENb SO many inherent
~ about the returning men it's no wonder
we are slightly mixed. Most of us in our
minds eye have had the Gurnee Munns
home from New York for a day or two,
and as a matter of fact they are not here
yet. In the first place, Gurnee, who had
been overseas more than n year, landed at
st. Johns in Canada on Monday, and
Marie Louise and her mother.inlaw, Mrs.
Charles A. Mum, went up there to meet
him. They went from Canada to New
York and the elder Mrs. Mum returned to
Washington on Wednesday night Mr.. and
Mrs. Mum are still in New York, but they
will come over here the end of the week
and go to Radnor.
What a relief it must be to these young
wives to have their husbands back safe
and sound after so long an absence. Mrs
Rrrnee Mum was Marie Louise Wana-
u ", you remember. She is very young
~, though she has been married about
three year, She has the darlingest little
son, Gurnee, Jr., who is about two years
old.
1T TOLD you the other day that the
L Church of the Good Shepherd at Rose
Amont had decided to continue the all-day
#meeting for sewing and to serve luncheon
Has in Red Cross times I was told at the
{Rtime that this church auxiliary was taking
Ethe lead, but since then have received
Kletter from Miss Emily Walton which tells
Y me that for many years the women of the
Church of the Good Samaritan in Paol
have held all.day Thursday meetings for
sewing, and that in the last year it was
*decided to serve luncheon at the Red Cross
servings, and that this will be continued.
All along the Main Line the workers of
the auxiliaries are doing very good work,
it seems.
T AM really getting quite excited over the
l. giving of "Ravished Armenia" at the
. Bellevue tomorrow evening and Saturday
afternoon and evening. There's a terrific
sdemand for invitations, and it seems as If
armenia would surely be much richer for
Ills party to be given for her. The women
on the committee are working like Trojans,
know, for I stopped in at the Bellevue
yesterday when the bids were going for
the boxes, and they were going some.
"a VOU know Evelyn Chew Stevenson and
"A l. her small son have been staying with
4 Mrs. Sam Chew. Evelyns grandmother at
, her home. 1916 Walnut street. Well, they
left last week for San Domingo. where
Major Stevenson is stationed. It's funny
how domestiCated girl becomes after mar
riage, isn't it? The year Evelyn came out
she was a regular will o the wsp. No
one would ever have thought that she
would settle down to home and a baby.
But she has, and there isn't a more dc.
voted mother to he found among the girls
of that year, many of whom have been
married several years.
Evelyn is very good looking and is al
ways so well-dressed. They expect to re.

army, you know

in hospital in New York. He was

y only for while, so you knOlO that is good
news. isn't it? Mrs. Drayton is living at
the Wellington this winter. She rented her
house in Harrison Row in the carly part
Of the year It's pretty lonely to live in
that great big house when both sons arc in
the army, so the logical thing to do was to
take an apartment.
The Brooks have apartments there, too,
