WELL, passed by 500 ard 81 Chestnut
w street yesterday morning and I just
wish you could have seen the collection of
things they had in the windows already for
the rummage that is to start there today.
I look at these different windows. You
know, they're having a rummage a COS
Chestnut, too, and marvel where on earth
these things come from. Mustn't every
one who has garret and trunkroom have
empted it out by now? And must they
not have given away everything they can .
lay their hands on? So it would appear,
and yet every day some one plans another
rummage and they get more things.
The sale going on at 500 Chestnut that
is starting today is the annual affair given
for st. Edmonds Home for Crippled Chill
for lunch every day And now, would you
believe it, hear they are going to have
one at that same building, 500 Chestnut
street, on April 9"for the jefferson Hos
pital.
l never knew anything to beat it. Just
one excitement after another, and, really,
some wonderful things are collected. I
heard of one article of bric-a- -brac which
for $40, and the sellers were delighted at
the Offer when a Cealer who had come in
said, "Oh I'll give you $40 for that" and,
Furthermore, he did and that self same
article is now for sale at his shop for SIS.
Now and again You do get marvellous bar,
gains.
IND you know that Frances Gamble is
IL to be married shortly after Easter,
April 20? 1t will be a very quiet wedding,
because, you remember, Bob Gamble was
killed in action last September and the
family are in mourning. Frances is to
marry Ensign David Lewis Daggett of
New Haven. He's an awfully nice fellow
I think, and I hope they will be very
happy.
Frances is very good looking, don't you
think? She has such wonderful dark hair
and have never seen any one fix her hair
with more taste than she. 1t seems to me
she can do anything with it and it always
stays just as she arranges it, I remember
her one night at the opera last year
She had on a very beautiful golden yellow
frocl and her hair was swirled way high
up on the top of her small head (only
as I have seen hair in magazines or hair
dressers' windows 1t was not waved or
dressed by hair dresser, however. On
the contrary, heard her sister explain to
some one as ] passed them on the grand
tier. "No, she does it herself. 1t is lovely,
isn't it?'
Her mother, Mrs Robert Gamble, is a
very good-looking woman and the younger
sister, Eleanor is very pretty, too.
r HEARD lovely story about little AL
bert H the other day. He's just
five, you know, and he went to school for
the first time last week At noon the car
was sent for him and he came home in a
very indignant mood. exclaiming, Don't
send Sam for me again, mother, I want to
walk"
Mother, torn between desire to have him
all boy and independent and fears that he
was too small to come home alone, finally
gave way to the latter and an older boy
at school at her request was delegated to
pilot him home.
However, he was not to be steered. He
ran ahead anf, racing into the house, sang
out, Mother, mother! what do you think
I found?'
IT just couldn't guess, darling. What
did you fnd?"
my way home" returned Albert.
Something tells me Albert will soon get
his way and go and come by his inde-
pendent small self. How about it?
