NANCY WYNNE SAYS A FEW
THINGS ABOUT SOCIAL DOINGS
Much Interest Is Felt in the Movies to Be Given in Lenox
the Latter Part of This Week Humorous
Incidents Amuse Many
MOVIES are decidedly the craze at
all the fashionable rcnorts this sea
on and by this I do not mean "going
Jo the movies." but actually taking part
therein, I remember the excitement hero
when the worthy board of governors of
the Charlotte Cushman Cub decided to
,ve an original movie two years ago
with real, live society persons In It, and
actually did give It out at the Orlscom
place In Haverford, and then It was re
peated at the Arcadia In town last year,
jf 1 am not mistaken It was the first
jnovle of tho kind ever perpetrated, and
the men far outdid tho women in It. Al
berta Drlnton fituranl, however, was fine,
and. by the way, her marriage was the
outcome of a romance started then, when
the and Mr. Sturanl and Reginald Oatos
were the three "vllllnns" In the plot. At
Lenox, Mass., on Friday and Saturday
night of this week "Tho Treasures of the
Incas," written by Draco Henry, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Howard II. Henry, of
New Tork, and acted by various members
of the Lenox social set wilt be given, and
I am glad to say that the lending ladles
and heroines are of a later vintage than
the heroines of tho Mclodratnatla Movies
of the Cushman Club; for talented though
Boph Norrls, Mrs. Jab Drlnton nnd others
may be, a heroine still In. her teens or
very early twontles, appea's to the g. p.
far more than one of maturer .years.
Don't you love to get into the car with
another girl and proceed to havo a fight
or, excuse me, a discussion as to who
thall pay the fare, and Isn't It equally
delightful to go to a cafo for supper
with two cavaliers and have each one in
sist that he must have the check? Tho
loveliest thing happened the other night
to two young members of the beau
mondjo who had taken two girls and their
mother to supper after the theater. Each
young man asked tho waiter surrepti
tiously for the check, and as It was a gay
and homey little party and overy one was
talking busily, nobody noticed anything
peculiar until long after they had left
the place, when one man said to the
ether, "Ah, hat got ahead of you this
time; paid that check all right." "You
didn't!" exclaimed tho party of the sec
ond part, "I paid it myself," and If you
, please, my dear, said waiter having been
a smart young man and about to leave
his place that night had seen a splendid
chance for a bit extra on the Bide, and
had brought a check, to each and gotten
tipped by each. Needless to say, these
same young men will probab'y consult
together before they give parties after
this and "divvy up" ''the costs,

dresses Appeal to America
Is there a woman In Philadelphia who
would be a "godmother" to a twenty-yc.ir-old
Belgian soldier, who lost his mother
seven weeks ago nnd who wants some one
to write him letters whllo he serves in tho
trenches?
The lad Is Anatole Wauters, who has been
serving In tho army of K'ng Albert slnco
Belgium was Invaded by the Germans. His
aged father Is Imprisoned In Germany, and
the homeless boy has written to tho United
Press, telling of his plight. Thousands of
French and English women are acting as
"godmothers" to tho Bold ers
But Anatole explains that he has not been
as fortunate as his comrades, and wants nn
American woman to- "mother" him. Ills
letter sent to the United Press Is as fol
lows :
"Being at the front since the start of
hostilities and seeing that almost all of my
comrades had a French or English god
mother, I am also permitted to search for
one. Unhappily, tho French and English
godmothers nre exhausted; that Is to say
they are all taken.
"Seeing that my efforts are without re-
suits, I thought to address myself to the
great America, so generous, that has fed
until now our fathers, mothers, brothers
and, sisters who nre In Belgium.
, "I nm twenty years of nge am willing
to work and without support whateer. I
lost my mother seven weeks ago and my
father Is ery old and a prisoner In Ger
many. I thought of your service, which
has printed the fine articles by your cor
respondent, Henry Wood, of Paris.

me. If you please, gentlemen, and with as
surance of my distinguished esteem,

MARK 66TH WEDDING DAY
Dr. and Mrs. William Bartlet Dixon
Celebrate Anniversary at Frank
ford Home
Dr and Mrs. William Bartlet Dixon, of
4644 Penn street. Frankford, aro today
celebrating the sixty-sixth anniversary of
their wedding with the lmmed'ote mem
bers of their family. Both are In fairly
good health.
Doctor Dixon can remember when Frank
ford was a mere village. He said that In
1840 Frankford Included that portion of tho
city north of the Frankford Creek to the
county line. At that t'me Frankford had a
population of 2223. Now more than 35,000
persons live there.
Doctor Dixon was born at Pine Creek.
Pa., nearly eighty-nine years ago and carne
to Frankford In 1842, where he conducted
an extensive grocery business on Frankford
avenue below Church street. In fact, he
was the first groceryman In Frankford
Later he practiced dentistry, retiring about
nineteen years ago. Until he was eighty
years old he was an enthusiastic golf
player. Doctor and Mrs. D'xon, who was
Miss Mary Boyd, were married with the
ceremony of the Society of Friends In
Frankford In 1850, The pair have five
children, six grandchildren and five great
grandchildren. To Pass Medical Supplies for Jerusalem
WASHINGTON, Sept 12. American
Consul Garrels, at Alexandria, Egypt, has
cabled the State Department that permis
sion has been granted for passage through
the Allied blockade of medical supplies
shipped by New .York Jewish societies
on the cruiser Des Moines for relief of suf
ferers in Jerusalem.

RODUCED his pipe and tobacco.
he used his right hand awkwardly.
It was exldcnt to her alert eyes that tho
torn quick on Ms Injured finger wns hurt
ing him a great deal. The exciting events
of the morning had c.uiwil him temporarily
to forget his wound, nnd tho rapid cours
ing of the blooa through the elns was
now causing him agonized throbs.
With a c-y of distress she sprang to
her feet and Insisted upon washing the
wound. Then she tenderly dressed It with
a strip of linen woll soaked In brandy,
thinking the while, with a Budden rush of
color to her fnce, that although ho could
suggest this remedy for her slight hurt,
he gae no thought to his own serious
Injury. Finally sho pounced upon his plpo
nnd tobacco box
"Don't be alarmed," she laughed. "I
hae often filled my father's plpo for him.
First, you putHhe tobacco In toosely, taking
cere not to use any that Is too finely
powdered Then you pack the remainder
quite tightly. But I was nearly forgetting
I haven't blown through the plpo to see
If It Is clean."
'That Is a flrt-rate pipe." she declared.
"My father alwajs said that a straight
stem, with tho bol nt a right angle, was
the correct shape. You evidently agree with
him."
"Absolutely "
"You will like my father when you meet
him. He Is the cry best man alive, I am
sure."
"You two are great friends, then?"
"Great friends 1 He Is the only friend
I possess In tho world."
"What I Is that quite nccurate?"
"Oh, quite. Of course, Mr. Jenks, I can
never forget how much I owe to you. I
like you Immensely, too, although you are
soso gruff to me at times. But but you
Bee, my father nnd I have always been to
cotlicr. I have neither brother nor sister,
not even n cousin. My dear moier died
fiom somo horrid fever when I ,as quite
a llttlo girl. My father Is everything to
me."
"Dear child 1" he murmured, apparently
uttering his thoughts aloud rather than
addressing her directly. "So you find me
gruff, eh?"
"A regular bear, when you lecture me.
But that Is only occasionally. You can
bo very nlco when you like, when you for
get your past troubles. And pray, why do
you call me a child?"
"Hno I done so?"
"Not a moment ago. How old nre you,
Mr. Jenks? I am 20 20 last December."
"And I," ho said, "will be 28 In August."
"Good gracious i" she gasped. "I nm
ery sorry, but I really thought you were
40 nt least."
"I look It, no doubt Let mo be equally
candid nnd admit that you, too, show your
nge markedly."
She smiled nervously, "What a lot of
troublo you must hae had to to to
give you those llttlo wrinkles In the corners
of your mouth and eyes," she said.
'Wrinkles! How terrible!"
"I don't know. I think they rather suit
you ; besides, it was stupid of me to Imagine
you were so old. I suppose exposure to
the sun creates wrinkles, and you must
have lived much In the open air.
"I often wonder how army officers man
age to oxlst." she said. "They never seem
,to get enough sleep. In the East, at any
rate. I hae seen them dancing for hours
after midnight, and heard of them pig
sticking or schooling hunters at B o'clock
next morning."
"So you assume I have been In the army?"
"I am quite sure of It."
"May I ask why?"
"Your manner, your voice, your quiet
air of authority, the very way you walk,
all betray you."
"Then," he said sadly, "I will not at
tempt to deny the fact. I held a commls
s on In the Indian Staff Corps for nine years.
It was a hobby of mine, Miss Deane, to
make myself acquainted with the best
means of victualing my men and keeping
thorn In good health under all sorts of
fanciful conditions and In every kind of
climate, especially under circumstances
when ordinary stores were not available.
With that object In view I read up every
possible country In which my regiment
might be engaged, learned the local names
of common articles of food, nnd ascertained
particularly what provision naturo made
to sustain life. The study Interested me.
Once, during tho Soudnn campaign. It wns
really useful, and procured mo promotion."
"Tell me about It."
"During some operations In the desert It
was necessary for my troop to follow up a
small party of rebels mounted on cnmels,
which, as you probably know, cin go with
out wnter much longer than horses. Wo
were almost wltkln striking distance, when
our horses completely cab out. but I
lucMlv noticed Indications which showed
that there wns water beneath n portion of
tho plain much below the general lecl.
Hnlf an hour's spade work proved thnl 1
was right. Wo took up tho pursuit ngaln,
and ran tho qunrry to earth, and I got my
captaincy."
"Was there no fight?"
Ho paused an appreciable tlmo before
replying. Then ho evidently made up his
mind to perform some disagreeable task.
Tho watching girl could sco the chango In
his fnce, the sharp transition from eager
Interest to angry resentment.
"Yes." ho went on nt last, "there was a
fight. It wns a rather stiff nftalr. because
a troop of British cavalry which should
have supported me had turned back, owing
to the want of water already mentioned.
But that did not save the olllcer In charge
of the Twenty-fourth Lancers from being
Bevcrely reprimanded."
"The Twenty-fourth Lancers!" cried Iris.
"I.ord Ventnor's regiment I"
"Lord Vcntnor was tho olllcer In ques
tion." Her face crimsoned. "Then you know
him?" she said.
"I do."
"Is ho your enemy?"
"Yes."
"And that Is why you were so ngltated
that last day on the Sirdar, when poor
Lady Tozer asked me if I vvcro engaged to
him?"
"Yes."
"How could It affect you? You did not
even know my name then?"
"It nffected mo because tho sudden men
tion of his name recalled my own disgrace.
I quitted the army six months ngo, Miss
Deano, under very painful circumstances.
A general court-martial found me guilty ot
conduct unbecoming nn olllcer and a
gentleman. I was not even given a chance
to resign. I was cashiered."
Ho pretended to speak with cool trucu
lcnce. He thought to compel her Into
shrinking contempt. Yet his fnce blanched
somewhat, nnd though ho steadily kept the
plpo between his teeth, and smoked with
Btudlcd unconcern, his lips twitched a llttlo
And ho dared not look at her, for the
irlrl's wondering eyes were fixed on him.
and the blush had disappeared as quickly
as It came.
"I remember something of this," she said
slowly, never once averting her gaze. 'There
was some cossln concerning It when I first
came to Hongkong. You nio Captain Robert
Anstruther7"
"I nm."
"And you publicly thrashed Lord Ventnor
as tho result of a quarrel about a woman?"
"Your recollection Is quite accurate."
"Who was to blame?"
'The lady Bald that I was."
"Was It true?"
Robert Anstruthcr. late captain of Bengal
Cavalry, rose to his feet. He preferred to
take his punishment standing.
'The court-martial agreed with her. Miss
Deane. and I am a prejudiced witness," he
rcpl.ed.
"Who waB tho lady?"
"The wife of my colonel, Mrs. Costobell."
"Oh I"
Long afterward he remembered the agony
of that moment, and winced even at tho
remembrance Hut he had decided upon a
fixed policy, and he wns not n man to flinch
from consequences. Miss Deano must bo
taught to desp'se him c's "vl hn "!
' nth she might learn to love him as he now
loved her. So, blundering tim..u u. .
as men nlways blunder where a woman s
heart s concerned, ho blindly persisted
In allowing her to make such fnlse deduc
tions ns she chose from his words.
Iris was the first to regain somo measure
of self-control.
"I nm glad you have been so candid. Cap
tain Anstruther." she commenced, but ho
broke In abruptly
"Jenks, If you please. Miss Deano. Robert
Jenks."
There wns a curious 1 ght In her eyes, but
ho did not sec It, nnd her volco was mar
vclously subdued ns nhe continued
"Certnlnly, Mr. Jenks. Let me be equally
explicit before we quit the subject. I have
met Mrs. Costobell I do not like her I
consider her n deceitful woman. Your
court-mart nl might have found a different
verdict had Its members been of her sex.
As for Lord Ventnor, he Is nothing to me.
It Is trt,o he nsked my father to be per
mitted to pny his addresses to mo, but my
dear old dad left the matter wholly to my
decision, nnd 1 certnlnly never gave Lord
Ventnor any encouragement. I believe now
tlint Mrs. Costobell lied, nnd that Lord Vent
nor I ed. when they attributed any dishonor
able action to jou. nnd I am glad that you
bent him In the club. I am quite sure he
deserved It."
Not one word did this strange man vouch
safe In reply. Ho started violently, seized
tho ax lying nt his feet, nnd went strn'ght
among the trees, keeping his face turned
from Iris so that she might not see the tears
In his eyes
As for tho girl, she beenn to scour her
cooking utensils with much energy, and
soon commenced a song. Considering that
she wns compelled to constantly endure the
company of n degraded officer, who had
been expelled from the service with Igno
miny, she was absurdly contented. Indeed,
with tho happy Inconsequence of youth,
she quickly threw nil care to tho winds
and devoted her thoughts to planning a
surprise for the next day by preparing some
tea, provided sho could surreptitiously open
tho chest.
C1IAPTRH VII
sunvHiiEs
BEFORE night closed their third day on
tho Island Jenks managed to construct
a roomy tent house, with a framework of
sturdy trees selected on account of their
location. To these he nailed or tied cross
beams of felled saplings; and the tar
paulins dragged from the beach supplied
roof and walls. It required the "nlted
strength of Iris nnd hlmselr to haul Into
position the heavy sheet that topped the
structure, white he was compelled to de
sist from active building operations In order
to fashion a rough ladder. Without some
such contrivance he could not get the top
most supports adjusted at a sufficient
height.
Although the edifice required at least two
more days of hard work before It would
bo fit for habitation, Iris wished to take
up her quarters there Immediately, This
the sailor would not hear of.
"In the cave," ho said, '"you are abso
lutely sheltered from all the winds that blow
or rain that falls. Our villa, however". Is
painfully leaky and draughty at present.
When asleep, the whole body Is relaxed and
you are then most open to the attacks or
cold or fever. In which case. Miss Deane,
I shall be reluctantly obliged to dose you
with a concoction of that tree there."
He pointed to a neighboring cinchona.
and Iris naturally staked why M
that .mrucuier ft.'anel '
"Because It Is atrlrrtne. jrot made uft M
nice little tabloids, but au natural H
will not be a bad plan If we prep t
strong Infusion, and take a small tMMtft
every morning on the excellent prlMMir
that prevention Is better than cure."
The girl laughed.
"Good gracious t she mid ', that remind
me "
But the words died away on her llfw' tit
sudden fright They were standing
the level plateau In front of the cave, well
removed from the trees, and they could
see distinctly on all sides, for the nn was
sinking In a cloudless cky and the air
was proterniturnlly clear, being free now
from the tremulous haxs of the hot hoim.
Across the smooth expanse of sandy
ground came the ngonlzed ehrteks of a
startled bird a large bird, It would seem
winging Its way toward them with Incred
ible swiftness, and uttering a succession of
loud full-voiced notes of alarm.
et the strange thing was that not a
bird was to be seen. At that hour the
ordinary feathered Inhabitants of tho, Island
were quietly nestling among branches pre
paratory to making a final selection of the
night's resting place. None of them would
stl- unless actually disturbed.
Iris drew near to the sailor. Involun-
tarlly she caught his arm. He stepped a
half pace In front of her to ward off any
danger that might be heralded by this new
and uncanny phenomenon. Together they
strained their eyes In the direction of the
approaching sound, but apparently their
sight was bewitched, as nothing whatever
was visible. 1,
"Oh, what It Isr walled Iris, who new '
clung to Jenks In a state of great appre
hension. The clucking noise came nearer, passed
them within a yard, and was already some
distance nway toward tho reef when the
sailor burst Into a. hearty laugh, none the :
less genuine becauso of the relief It gave
to his bewildered senses.
Reassured, but still white with fear. Iris
cried? "Do speak, please, Mr. Jenka. What
was It?" '
"A beetle l" he managed to gasp.
"A beetle?"
"Yes, a small. Insignificant-looking fil-'
low. too so small that I did not see him
until ho wns almost out of range. He has
the loudest voice for his size In the whole '
of creation. A man able to shout on the
same scale would easily make himself heard
for 20 miles."
"TJion I do not like such beetles; I al
ways hated them, but this latest Variety
is positively detestable. Such nasty things
ought to be kept In zoological gardens, and
not turned loose. Moreover, my tea will
b-s boiled Into spinach."
Nevertheless, the tea, though minus sugar
or milk, was grateful enough and partic
ularly acceptable to the sailor, who enter
tained Iris with a disquisition on the many
virtues of thit marvelous beverage. Cu
riously enough, the lifting of the veil upon
the man's earlier history made these two
much better friends. With more complete
acquaintance there was far less tendency
toward certain passages which, under or
dlna.-y conditions, could be construed as
nothing else tlnn downright flirtation.
They made the nleaslns- ritftrnveev that
they could both sing. There was hardly
an opera In vogue that one or other did
not know sufficiently well to bq able to
recall tho chief musical numbers. Iris had
a sweet and sympathetic mezzo-soprano
voice, Jenks nn excellent baritone, and. to
the secret amazement of the girl, he
rendered one or two well-l.nown Anglo
Indian barrack-room ditties with much
humor.
This, then, was the mlse-en-scene.
Iris, seated In the broken saloon chair,
which the sailor had firmly wedged Into the
sand for her accommodation, was attired
In a close-fitting costume selected from
the small store of garments so wisely pre
served by Jenks. She wore a pair of
clumsy men's boots several sizes too large
for her. Her hair was tied up In a gypsy
knot on the back of her head, and the
light of a cheerful log fire danced In her
blue eyes.
Jenks, unshaven and ragged, squatted
tallorwlse near her. Close at hand, on two
sides, the shaggy walls of rock rose In
solemn grandeur. The neighboring trees.
decked now In the sable livery of night;
were dimly outlined against the deep misty
Diue or sea and sKy or wholly merged la
the shadow of the cliffs.

Twin-six gives to the new Packard
iBi
Air-men travel the most
treacherous of all roads.
They must have dfptnrfable,
continuous power with energy
wasting vibrations canceled.
Therefore
The Twin-six type of motor is
the dominant equipment of the
modern aeroplane.
In sky-flight and track-flight,
in America and Europe, in peace
and war, in the automobile and
the aeroplane this motor is the
modern and the most efficient
power plant.
Man's fiercest tests in his
tory's great motor epoch have
culminatM in the Twin-six.
And Packard, ever leading,
leads here.
Eight thousand of the first
rnodel Packard Twin-sixes were
too few to satisfy tlie demand
of fore-seeing buyers.
Both the demand and supply
are now immensely greater. An
