one for the Girl Scouts summer camp
benefit. 1t is to be held on Saturday
of this week and on Monday and Tues
day of next week at the old saloon at
Seventeenth and Market streets.

jewelry and pictures and books and

things that have been given by the
stores, and that have been found in the
attics of various members of the board

want to take advantage of it. Ruth
Draper is coming here. and will give
her delightful monologues on Thursday
afternoon at the Settlement Music
School, 416 Queen street, at 3 o'clock.

were she to give her rccitals at League
Island, or way up in Port Richmond,
the trip would be well worth it. She is
simply wonderful.
She has been in Europe for two years,
