By the Way
Beth Blaine

Mrs. Martin Vogel was just
finishing her luncheon, along
with three women friends the
other day, when the butler an
nounced that some one from the
Metropolitan Civilian Defense
Recreation Services was on the
telephone. He wanted to know
if three young enlisted men, in
town on short leave. might come
to Mrs. Vogel's for luncheon.
Completely undaunted. because
as Chairman of the Home Hos
pitality Committee, she is quite
accustomed to receive such re-
quests, Mrs. vogel sent back the
answer that she was having her
luncheon but that II the young
men would like to take pot luck
she would be delighted to have
them.
The young men arrived. pot
luck" turned out to be luck in
deed, for the luncheon was delici-
Gus, the ladies friendly and
gracious. After lunch one Of
the men spotted a piano and
asked If he might play 1t. Mrs.
Vogel said indeed he might, and
so to the ladies amazement and
delight he played for several
hours-not only we'll, but ex-
pertly. He even played some of
his own compositions, for before
the war, it seems, he was a COM
poser.
Imagine what it must mean to
these men to drop in" to such
a friendly home. Fighting men
away from home-biding their
time at camp until they're called
to the front; with very little
money left over for any of the
niceties after the necessities are
paid for. Well, it means quite a
lot and the men themselves are
so grateful that 1t makes you
proud to be an American too.
Under Mrs. Vogel's able leader
ship the Home Hospitality Com
mittee Is quite a thriving or
ganization now. She's turned the
small library of her Woodland
Drive home into an Office. With
her niece, Baroness Stackleberg
and her efficient young secretary,
Miss Suzanne Happier, she ar
ranges parties, picnics, in her own
home - contacts other women
who want to help with parties or
sightseeing trips for the service
men. Through Miss Buckner
Blackberry of the OPA (who
formerly was instructor at one of
the local secretarial schools) and
Miss Elizabeth, Bell, from the
office of personnel for the ma
tional war agencies-she gets at
tractive young women Govern
ment workers to come to the
parties. Many of these girls are
lonely and homesick and as
pleased to come to the parties as
the men are to have them.
Every Friday evening there is
a buffet supper at Mrs. Vogel's.
Usually there is an entertainer
who has volunteered his services.
