NANCY WYNNE CHATS ABOUT
WOMAN'S PEACE PARTY OBJECT
Recital" by Fuller Sisters Replete With Interest for
Main Line Advocates of Peace and Others.
Queen Mary's Needlework Guild
THE return of tlio Fuller sisters, of
Dorset, End, (thd very name spelt
charm), was heartily welcomed by those
of us who had had the delightful experi
ence ot hearing them before and by
many rHIiers who had not thai pleasure,
Tou remember, of course, tho garden
party given two seasons ago by tho In
defatigable Ely girls at their home In
Bryn Mawr, when tho Fuller sisters
wero engaged to entertain the guests.
The day proved unfortunate itnd so tho
garden party had to bo moved Indoors,
but onco Inside ono completely forgot
the Inclement woather so great was tho
epelt cast by theso throe charming
young women with tholr quaint songs.
On Friday evening last they gave a
concert at tho Morion Cricket Club
under tho auspices of tho Main Lino
branch of the "Woman's Peace party.
Tho program was arranged with n view
to contrasting in each little group of
aongs tho Joy and courngo of llfo with
tho grief and fear brought about by
war, and ho there woro songs for tho
militarists ns well as pcaco songs for
tho pnclflsts, and every ono wns I was
about to Bay happy but tho themo
hardly mario that possible so I shall
say at least ovory one was thrilled.
Suoh songs as "Hero Comet a Dulto
Hiding," "The Koman Soldiers," a
Kentish song; "I Would That tho War
"Were Well Over," out of Devonshire,
and "Tho White Cockade," a song from
Cornwall, woro contrasted boldly with
Cornish lullabys, lovo songs such ns
"My Man John" and "Dabbling In the
Dew," from Somerset; "Llzrlo Lindsay"
and other Scotch melodies.
Tho Main Lino branch of tho
Woman's Peace party, which was or
ganized In December of last year at tho
homo of Mrs. Edmund C. Evans, of Ard
more, Is a most energetic society and
has already done wonderful educational
work In tho vicinity of tho Main Line.
Thoy toll me that tho Woman's Pence
party does not bellovo In nonreslstanco
nor pcaco nt any price but Is trying to
devlso means other than war In settling
Intornntlonal disputes. They are ar
ranging for many moro meetings, to
Which tho public will bo invltod. Tho
offlcera of tho organization nro Mrs.
Jonathan M. Stcoro, preslHont; Mrs.
Frank W. Garrison, vice president and
treasurer; Mrs. Harland C. Nicholson,
sooretary; Mrs. David O. AIsop, Mrs.
William W. Collins. Mrs. Edward C.
Evans and Mls3 Miriam Thomas, advis
ory board.
And tho committee which arranged
the recital Included Mrs. Ezra Allen,
Mrs. Goorgo Vaux, Jr., Mrs. ThomaH
Branson, Mrs. Don C. Barrett, Mrs.
Leah Cadbury, Miss Gortrudo Ely, Mrs.
Charles Edn-orton, Mrs. Edmund C.
Evans, Mrs. .Richard M. Gummcro, Mrs.
Edward Y. H&rtshorno, Mrs. William C.
Ladd, Mrs. IVnltcr M. Newkirk, Mrs.
D. L. Schwartz, Miss Hannah Shipley,
'Mrs, Noah Bwayno, 2d, and Dr. Marl
anna Taylor.
I was sonuiwhat amused and not a
littlo peeved ono day last weok whllo
"nosing" around for summer apparol by
nn Incident vihlch occurred In n milli
nery Balon of ono of our smaller shops.
I found two hats which were perfect
ducks, slmpl littlo things of striped
crope do chl.io, and was picturing my
self in ono cif them on tho veranda ot
the country club, when my pleasant lit
tle day dream was rudely shattered by
the saleswoman, who hastened to In
form mo that, devoid of trimming ns
they were, thoy sold at $12 each. I was
Just turning away when a handsome
matron, Boniewhat with tho nlr of a
grande dame, entered and. Indicating
tho aforesaid hats, ordered them
charged and sent, without so much ns
s. glance at tho prices. Tho sales
woman could not refrain from asking
whether madamo would try them on, to
which the reply came In shocked tones,
"Oh, no, they're for ono of my maids."

SALE OF OLD ST PAUL'S
Some Lot Owners in Church
Cemetery Don't Want to
Move Will Fight
Records ISO years old will be Invoked
to prevent tho proposed sol of the prop
erty of Old St. Paul's Church, 228 South
Ed street, If plans of thoso who own lots
In the church graveyard and oppose the
Idea ot selling be carried through. The lot
owners profess to havo discovered a clause
In tho original charter of the church which
tics Uie property to tho church for use
In pcrpotulty.
Tho church officers and most of the con
gregation want to sell tho property, of
which tho churchyard makes up a large
part, and move up on Broad street or Into
a newer neighborhood somewhere else.
Counsel has been retained to examine
tho old records of tho church and the
charter, which dntes back td J '69, to see
whether anything appears In .hem that
would prevent n transfer of tho property,
according to Walter H, Thomas, secretary
ot the City Mission, which Is connected
v-ith Old St. Paul's Church.
Tho Idea of dismantling the graveyard,
disinterring the bodies and moving them
to new graves has not been cordially ac
cepted by those who own lots and whose
ancestors and relatlvos are burled In
them. Mr. Thomas explained this as the
cause of tho opposition. He blames tho
lot owners, however, as having spread
rumors that the propoBod salo could never
go through. The selling of cemetery
property was a dellcato matter, Mr. Thom
as said, and the situation would have to
be carefully handled.
Tho Rev. H. Cresson MeHenry, rector
of Old St. Paul's Church, said today ho
knew the proposed sale was meeting op
position, but believed it would be found
there was nothing In tho charter to stop
the transactl i.

POLISH RELIEF PLAN
APPROVED BY RUSSIA
S
Rockefeller Foundation to Tako
Caro of Six Centres Occur-
plod by Germans
PETROCKIAJ, April 17 The plan for
the sending of fotOstutrs into Russian Po
land, submitted to the Russian Govern
ment, has met with approval, 'says the
semtofllolal Petrograd news agency,
which, "In view of tho sensational Infor
mation that has been disseminated, that
the Russian Go,ernment has placed obsta.
"oles In the way of American philanthro
pists desiring to neslst tho Inhabitants of
Russian Poland occupied by Germany," '
makes tho following explanation:
"The rcllof plan, will tako the following
shape: Tho Rockefeller Foundation will
undertake tho task of supplying food to
tho Inhabitants of six Polish city centres.
Tho Germans, cm their part, are to make
provision for tho remainder of the occu
pied country, at tho same tlmo insuring
entire freedom of the American enterprise,
guaranteeing that foodstuffs shall not bo
exported from Poland and forbidding their
troops irora using local roodstulis."
BERLTN, April 17. Herr von ICrics,
ohlof of the civil administration of the
occupied district of Poland, has given the
following Interview:
"When wo entered Poland the Russian
civil officers had left tho country with
tho troops, th(S country was without gov
ernment and In a state of chaos.
"At tho start, when the Germans held
only one-third of territory now occupled
by them, thoy wore able to feed the peo
ple on n very comfortable scale, since
there wan a.falrly good crop In the barns.
A change came, however, with the occu
pation of Warsaw and other large dis
tricts. Not only did thlslncrease the
extent of conquered territory by rco.e
than twice, but tho Russians had burned
all tho houses for miles around and had
destroyed whatever they found; leaving
tho country in a condition which la al
most unimaginable. Everywhere were
ruins, desolation and anarchy. It be
came necessary to feed the Inhabitants
of this larger district on supplies which
had been available for one-third of that
area. This Imposed a rather difficult task
on tho German administration. Fortu
nately wo succeeded In averting n catas
trophe. "However, It would have been of great
service to the population If the projected
American relief had not failed on ac
count of the conditions Imposed by Great
Britain. The British Government made
conditions which It must certainly have
known could not be complied with."
