JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE,
Nancy lynne Laments the Death of Mrs. Rodman
Griscom- Tells of Chestnut Hills Community
Center-Cirls and Boys in Play

WERE you not sorry to hear of the
w death of Mrs. Rod Griscom? She
had been ill only about ten days and
there had been change for the better a
few days before her death. so in the
end it was quite a shock even to those
/ who had known of her illness. She was
Miss Annie Starr you know, a daugh-
ter of Mrs. Edward Starr, and a sis
ter of Isaac Tatnall Starr and of Mrs.
Frederick w. Morris, who was Sophie
Starr. -.
Mrs. Griscom was one of the most
active workers of the Emergency Aid,
being one of the vice chairmen and
during the war was head of the surgi-
cal dressing class. and she was one of
the four women who started Penn Cot
tage, the tea room at Wynnewood in
the old house where William Penn once
lived.
Mr.. Griscom is the son of the late
Clement A. Griscom, of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. He and his wife had
house built on the Griscom estate at
Dolobran, Haverford, and lived there
all the year round. Their daughter,
Mary Starr Griscom, was to have made
her debut, in the fall at tea given by
her grandmother, Mrs. Clement A.
Griscom. Their son is Clement A.
Griscom, Sd.
Mrs. Griscom will be greatly missed
BY her family and friends and by the
many poor she so often helped in
quiet way, but a way that will not be
forgotten by them for many a day.
The last services will be held TO-DAY Ut
noon for her in the Church OF the he-
deemer, Bryn Mawr.
TTAVE you heard about the Com
II munity Center House out in Chest.
nut Hill? It's the old headquarters Oh
the National League. The various
women in Chestnut Hill felt that much
of the work started during wartimes
should be kept up and so they nave
started the Community Center, with
Mrs. George Woodward as chairman OF
the whole thing, with an advisory poafq
and many committees on all KINDS OIL
subjects, such as housing conditions,
sanitation and the like.
They are starting open air movies ana
they are given every Friday evening as
soon as it is dark. The old barn serves
as a background for the pictures ana
there are rows and rows of benches, ana
they are going to serve ice cream cones
: and it sounds great to me. It's hkeiy
that the Community Center will greatly
benefit by it. What think you! 1t
very spiffy there on Friday nights, m
told.
NNARGARETTA HARRISON is
AVA coming up from Cape May this
week to stay with her grandmother
Mrs. Harrison. in Rosemont. She is to
take part in "Jane,' a play which the
= younger girls and boys will give at the
Wayne moving picture theatre on June
30 for the benefit of the Reed Street
House. Besides Margaretta, the two
Yarnalls. Agnes and Sophie, will take
part, and Virginia Heckscher and the
bows will be George Gibbs, Jr.. Billie
Ashton, Edward Ritter, Bob Oliphant
and Matthew Baird, Sd.
Il CPEAKING of Margaretta Harrison
- makes me think of Edith Newlin
again. They are cousins, you know
but incidentally 1 must have been WOOL
gathering on Saturday when l said that
Y Mr.. Charles Eisenbrey and Mr.. Stephen
Eisenbrey were Edith Newlin's uncles
brothers of her mother. / suddenly re-
membered when reading it over today
that Mrs. Newlin is a first cousin oi
those Eisenbreys, not sister tle'
father was Harrison Eisenbrey and hel
brothers were the late Kenton Eisen
brey, who married Miss Fannie Baird
81 and Howard Eisenbrey, who married
Miss Frost. Sadie Eisenbrey, who
married an out town man, was
{ sister.
