Nancy lynne Chats about the Play to Be Giuen by the
Younger Set at Wayne on Monday-Another
Engagement in the Cra,Utord Family

THE Main Line is nightly interested
L in this "Jane' thing that's to be
given at Merton Cricket Club on Friday
night. It's to o. repeated on June 30,
you know. at the Wayne Theatre, so
that everybody in two or three counties
will have chance to see it. The femi-
nine part Of the cast is composed of q
deb and subdebs. Agnes Yarnall being
the only real deb. n The others are
Sophie Yarnall, Margaretta Harrison
and Virginia Heckscher.
The rest of the cast includes George
Gibbs, Jr., William NJ. Ashton, How
ard Ritter, who is quite an actor.
having taken part in any number Of
plays with the Plays and Players and
other organizations Robert Oliphant
and Matthew Baird, Sd. The play,
which is farce and said to be awfully
funny, is for the benefit Of the Reed
Street Neighborhood House. That
b charity seems to have been put suddenly
on the map. doesn't it? All kinds Of
benefits have been given for it just
lately.
THAT reminds me of a story I heard
cent unpleasantness, this has been
that's been annoying us for so long.
The story is about n certain tiny little
town in Italy. called Borraricco. It's
about as big as City Hall courtyard,
or at least the descriptions make it
sound that size. and some of the Amer.
lean Ambulance troops who were with
the Italian army were stationed there.
One of the men received a letter, and
the address consisted merely OF his name
and the name Of tho town. For some
unknown reason it reached him. al
though letters covered on all sides, with
addresses and initials and military terms
were lost With a shout of glee he fas-
tened the envelope on post as high as
hc could reach and announced, 'Bor-
garicco is now on the map
A RENT the Crawford men getting
n engaged, as it were, in a bunch! !
Henrique's engagement to Gretchen
Clay was announced about three months
ago, you remember. and now Stenhen
is engaged to a southern girl. Florence
Whitaker. I suppose West Virginia Is
not exactly South, but somehow you
think of any part Of the country below
the Pennsylvania line as South. dom
you? Isn't it "sinsular' there's an.
other southern and northern wedding?
Not that ! personally think it's singu-
lar; think It's very nice. but some per-
sons have a funny way OF wording
things. Funny is an odd word. isn't it!
It's real meaning is anything but the
meaning we use it in. Sometimes we
say funny when we only mean coincl-
dence. Well, it depends on the point of
view what you mean anyhow, doesn't t 1t!
DID you know that Gertrude Hollis
~ has come back from overseas! She
Just got back on Saturday. | saw her
Yesterday on Chestnut street. still in
her uniform, the light blue with blaze
on her left shoulder. She has a gold
service chevron on her sleeve, so she
has been over for at least six months.
She looks very we'll. although rather
tired. You know her mother was Mrs.
William II. Hollis of st. Martins. who
died about three years ago. Gertrude
has been living with her aunt, Mrs.
Hollinshcad Taylor at 402 Moreland
avenue, st. Martins.
AND speaking of the Hollinshead
"A Taylors, I saw Christine Stockton
yesterday, too. She had on such a
pretty blue plaid. l imagine it was
whole dress, but it may have been just
gingham skirt for she wore blue coat,
and she went by in such q hurry that
I couldn't take it all in. I did man
age to see her hat, though. and it was
awfully pretty. 1t was dark blue straw
with wide brim, and was trimmed
with big white flowers all the way
round the crown. Christine, you know,
Is a sister of Mrs. Hollinshead n. Iay-
lor. who was q Miss Stockton.
