Returned to this side.
QUITE number Of women are In
VI town, whether to put names on tho
sssersors' lists or not, Is hard to say.
In sure Maize Stewart Is not here for
nat purpose, unless she Is putting her
,nother's name on for her, because
Ms1ie IA certainly not twenty one by
Eeveral years. length. Anyway she
was In town q few days and ! happened
h see her. She was wearing soft
rotfee colored sports suit, which was
kastly becoming to her and her simple
Hst was also in brown. The coat was
Eery long wasted and she looked ex-
kremely smart.
Another person I spied was Betty
Brock. She was In a tweed sports suit
which was very good looking, and her
hat was Of the same tweed, muchly
stitched.
rIAvE you heard about the big doings
II the women way out on the Main
Line are getting up? They are going
b have a supper and dance on the turn.
Eeptember 1S. And for a very flne
Feason, to raise funds to maintain
Community nurse for Whitford and the
eountry round about there.
You know Whitford Is beyond Paoli,
Ind there were many times last year
Ind the year before when the people
n that vicinity were In dire need of a
nurse. And so It was determined to
have one for this year, who would live
here and do community nursing In that
Iection Of the Chester valley on the
Main Line. They have obtained Miss
Katharine Rohrer, who for number
pf years was head nurse at the Preston
Retreat. And 1t Is the hope of those
who have engineered this step that many
bf the. families out there. win be aided
By daily or weekly visits when illness
tomes along. Miss Rohrer. will also
visit the schools of that district and
Iollow up cases needing attention.
I hear the women In charge Of the
party on the eighteenth have arranged
10 hold the dance. rain or shine, as Il
will be given at Whitford Lodge, and
supper can be served under cover there
while the large diving rooms used by the
girls who spend their vacations at the
lodge can be easily used for dancing.
Among the women Interested In the
work, are, Mrs. Lardner Howell, Mrs.
George Coates, Mrs. George Thomas,
d., Mrs. Francis Strawbridge. Mrs.
William f. Lockwood, Miss Jane
Thomas, Miss Grace Thomas, Mrs.
Combs, Miss Miller, Mrs. Reilly, Mrs.
blodgett and Mrs. Francis Jacobs. +
ope the affair will be success. and I
N sure It will be.
