Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-09-10

I TOLD you about n month ago.
think. that the Sanders twins were
expected back from Frame. Well,
they came at that time and have been
staying with their grandmother. Mrs.
Clarke Merchant. down in Atlantic
City. Anita Evans, who is their first
cousin and a granddaughter OF Mrs.
Merchants too, has been with her
grandmother and last week end, Anita
and the Twinnies motored from Atlantic
City to Cape May and stayed there with
DIR. and Mrs. Lands.
Anita is the daughter of the Powell
Evans and is to make her debut this
season. The Evans live in Devon in the
summer and last winter spent their time
at the Longacre in town. Anita is ex-
tremely attractive and several dances
and dinners have already been planned
for her entertainment.
To 90 back to the Twinnies. they are
going to White Sulphur about the
middle Of the month and then will come
back to Philadelphia.
CPEAKING of the Sanders and Anita
~ Evans being in Cape May, reminds
me the Mcclure Fahnestocks are down
there too and are visiting Edith's par
ents at their Beach avenue house. You
remember, Edith Smith and Mcclure
Fahnestock were married early in June,
very shortly after his return from over
seas. They are living in Pittsburgh, so
Of course, do not see the families here
very often. And as the Smiths have
always been a very united family | am
sure they are delighted to have their
visit from the newlyweds.
A LBERT COOK MYERS was at his
"A hike again Sunday, starting the men
from the Central Y as usual. and end E
ing there in the pool. And believe
me it must have been fine to have that
pool to get into after walking in last
Sundays heat. After the swim in the
Y pool, the men went to the Benedict
Club, conducted by the Catholic War
Council at 1919 Market street, for
supper and an entertainment.
VOU remember the other day l was
\ l. talking about Philippus Miller, Jr.,
/ and that he had been moved to Rah-
way from Camp Dix hospital. ! had
been told at the time that he had been
gassed, but my informant. | find, made
a mistake in that part of his account
of the happenings. Lieutenant Miller
was not gassed at any time while in
action in France. He was wounded
on October of last year in the drive
In the Argonne forest which, you re
member, commenced September %.
1t was while he was leading his men
at o'clock on the morning of the
first, and while under machine gun
and artillery fire that high explosive
shell struck near him, wOunding and
killing most of the men around him.
Pieces of the shell entered his upper
right arm, and shattered the bone.
A portion of it went into his leg. This,
however, was removed successfully
shortly after that and his leg is as
sound as ever. His arm, however, is
still helpless and as I said the othe
day, he has spent his time in the
hospitals in France and in this country
ever since the sixth of October, 1918,
| He received a citation by the way
from his acting captain during the en-
gagement in which he was wounded
praising his courage and efficiency
under fire. But it seems to me the
bravest part of it all is the paticnc,
he shows now, still suffering after al
these months.
ISN'T it exciting all the people o
Il prominence who are coming here
General Pershing this week and Car
dinal Mercier, that great noble out
standing figure of the war, and lastl
Edward Albert, otherwise Sknown a
the Prince of Wales. I do hope thos
who entertain any one of these angus
personages won't have the experienc
of a well known man whom you knoy
and / know. who entertained a yer
well-known English writer here yea
or SO ago. He had beautiful countr
place and any number of maids, but h
did not have "a man." for the simpl
reason that he did not want one.
Well. this night, after the guest ar
rived, he happened to stay up late
than the rest of the family, and as h
was going upstairs, to his horror an
amaze. he discovered the eminen
writer's shoes sitting neatly outside c
his door, politely waiting to be brushe
and cleaned, as is the way in all Eng
lish houses and a few American ones.
Well, he went on to his own room
and then he thought and thought. Sue
was his terror Of those who contribute
to the domestic felicity of the house
hold, that he did not even consult hi
wife as to whether she thought Mar
or Jane would do it, but he tiptoed bac
= to the door, whipped up the boot'
rushed into his wife's room and de
4 manded polish which he industriousl
applied to said boots, and before h
finally retired one of the best loo kin
pair Of neatly polished boots you eve
saw rested neatly on the floor outsiG
the eminent personages door.
