Nancy lynne Hears OF Fine Patriotic York the Part of
Small Sis-Yea-OM-SheT Tells OF the Indoor
Horse Sho,U Judges

no YOU know it's really remarkable the
~ work the kiddies do in raising the loans? ?
overheard Mrs Frank Clyde telling some
one yesterday that her small grandson,
Alexander Bloomfield McFadden (Josephine
4 Mcllvaine's little SON. you know she mar
= ried George McFadden), who is six years
. of age, had collected $1,000 in bonds. Did
you ever? I think that is marvellous.
On the other hand, if you had cent left
In your pocket or bank could you see your
self refusing a lambkin Of six if he asked
you to buy bond? I don't wonder Mrs.
Clyde was proud of him, though. And he's
the cutest looking youngster.
TALKING of Victory Bonds and such,
i makes me think of the fair going on at
! that beautiful garden that belongs to Notre
Dame Convent on Rittenhouse Square. The
"A bumnae of the school are running the mar
Y ket or garden fete and the proceeds are to
Y 20 toward helping the sisters of that society
Tin Belgium, who are in great want. The
1 Ilprices Of things in Belgium are SO high, and
" Of course scarcely any of the schools were
Il Aable to keep up on anything like living basis
Va during the German occupation. Several Of
VI the women interested tell me that letters
have been received here stating that the Sis
Y ters have no shoes at all and very little to
A eat. So the alumnae in this city decided to
II get busy and to ask their friends to help.
"A HAny number~of women ARE doing their ut
NJ most to make the two days sale success.
Among the patronesses are Mrs. Robert
n Lesley, Mrs. Percy Heating, Mrs. William
Mercer, Mrs. John s. Newbold, Jr.. Mrs.
Thomas Gates and Mrs Mason Campbell.

II WAS interesting to see Sir Henry Thorn
Z = ton on Chestnut street yesterday. Do you
remember him when he was on the football
team? He's just as wonderful looking now,
broad and strong and fine and all decorated
{ up in his uniform with its red fixings. He
E came home just about two weeks ago, you
remember. He was knighted by the English
for the wonderful work he did there at the
II head of one of their railways.
