Celia Mitchell. II. leaves Balti-
more where she has lived with her
seamstress mother, Margaret Rogers,
to join her wealthy father, John
Mitchell, in New York. The par
ents are divorced and Mrs. Rogers
is a widow following a second mar
riage.
Barney Shields, young newspaper
photographer, is in love with the
girl. Mitchell asks Evelyn Parsons,
beautiful widow, TO introduce his
daughter to other young people. Mrs.
Parsons agrees. considering Celia
a means to win Mitchell's affections.
She soon becomes jealous Of the
girl and schemes to get rid of her
b. encouraging a romance between
Celia and Tod Jordan. fascinating
but of dubious character.
Mitchell has forbidden his daugh-
ter to see Jordan. Shields comes to
New York to work for a photo
graphic service and meets Celia
She tells him she cares for Jordan
but later realizes 1t is Shields whom
she loves.
Mrs. Parsons goes to Mitchell and
tells him the girl has been meeting
Shields surreptitiously. Father and
daughter quarrel and Celia leaves
for Baltimore. Her mother is not
there and all clews TO Mrs. Rogers
whereabouts fail. Mitchell arrives.
He and Celia become r~econciled
and return to New York after he
has promised to locate Mrs. Rogers.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Parsons invites
Shields to dinner and tells him Celia
is to marry Jordan. When they
meet next Celia is broken-hearted
at Shields GOODNESS and the inter
view ends with the understanding
that everything Is over between
them. No word comes from Mrs,
Rogers. Celia is lonely and miser-
able when Jordan begs her TO elope
with him. 1t Is several hours later
that Mrs. Parsons notifies Mitchell
the girl Is missing.

A Suggestion
In this column recently We were
bewailing the lack Of news, ex-
planning that a newspaper reporter
without something to write about
was as bad off as a college boy
without a yellow slicker. We earneS-
tly requested thst someone do any
thing about something.
We received an answer and a
suggestion TODAY from Monty"
Montgomery OF McAllen. genial
publisher or Monty's Monthly.
Monty. His 81 Mark. suggested
that We run a series Of photographs
of the Valleys handsomest men,
listing their achievements. fine
idea, Monty. but the trouble is very
few handsome men ever achieve
anything. It's usually the guy with
a wart on his nose and the cauli-
flower ears who Is elected mavor
or made president of the hank. The
man with the body by Fisher and
the cupid-bow lips Is rarely listed
in the news columns as zone OF our
leadinc citizens"
There are exceptions. of course.

for us 70 take his suggestion too
literally. In fact. he offered to send
us a photograph OF the best look

Mrs. Richard Derby, Of oyster
Bay, the former Miss Ethel
Roosevelt, daughter of Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt, has
been chosen national chairman
of the Florence Nightingale
fund committee which will un-
dertake to raise $150,000 t o
found a memorial to Florence
Nightingale in Istanbul (Con-
stantinople).
The fund will provide q resi-
dence for student nurses and an
endowment for the free training
of 20 nurses every year, many
of whom will be the future lead
erS in public health work in the
Near East.
Founded 10 Years Ago
The School of Nursing which
is attached to the American Hos
pital in Istanbul was founded
10 years ago on the Tooth ami
versary of the birth of Florence
Nightingale. The memorial will
commemorate the service rem
dered by her in the Near East
during the Crimean war, when
with 10000 men under her
charge, she had the general SUI
perintendence of all the British
hospitals on the Bosphorus. AS
a result of her report and plans
laid before Queen Victoria after
the war a complete reform OF
military hospitals was affected
and Miss Nightingale became
the founder of the modern nurs-
ing system.
Cooperating with Mrs. Derby
are local Florence Nightingale
committees in various schools OF
nursing in the United States.
Nurses In Demand
To meet the growing demand
for trained nurses in the Near
East there is today only two
accredited schools Of nursing
in Istanbul, a city of more than
a million persons. One is con-
Quoted by the Red Crescent So
ciety and the other is the
American Hospital School Of
Nursing. About 10 nurses have
been graduated from the Red
Crescent School in the last five
years, and 78 from the Ameri-
can school. ...
Many of the graduates Of the
early classes of the American
school were Greeks and Bull
garians, who are today leaders
in the education Of nurses in

200 Guests Will
Dine and Dance at
Christmas Pnrty

Among the most interesting Of
the Christmas festivities will be
the dinner-dance which Mr.. and
Mrs. Eugene Meyer will give on
Friday evening for their debu-
tante daughter, Miss Elizabeth
Myer. For the past few years
Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer have enter
tanned at a small dance during
the holidays for one Of their
daughters. Their beautiful home
on Crescent Place, former home
Of the late Henry White, lends
itself well to elaborate enter
tanning, and this year the din
ner for about 100 young people
will be a splendid affair.
Over 200 guests have been In
vited later for the dance. Miss
Florence Meyer, elder daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer, made
her debut two seasons ago and
then returned to her studies at
college. Miss Elizabeth Meyer
made her bow on Saturday and,
like her sister, will return to
college at the end Of the holi-
days.

Another interesting party this
week will be that which Mrs.

row night at the beautiful old
Wylie home on Thomas Circle.
Every Christmas night Mrs.
Wylie invites a few Of her
friends and a larger group Of
her children's friends for an in

nor Mrs. Hugh F. Saworidge,

sturdy ribbed stockings we hung
