Nancy Wynne Takes in Sporting Carnival and
Chats About Chestnut Hill Branch of Na
tional League for Woman's Service
iN SPITK of tho rain nnd threatening
weather the Sporting Carnival was
eerwtaly some carnival. Why. I haven t
Zn so many people one knows all
Aether In one spot since one ot the huge
ff t winter, "befo' de wah. And
o booths and the shows were all they
threatened to bo when wc heard of them.
Rimntv crcatl
one of the best Ideas b gotten up and
copyrighted by Mrs. Edwin Eldon
Graham, wife ot Doctor Graham o.
.. a i7in Snruco street. Mrs.
I Graham donated several hundred of these
L ideas in practical lorrn . "-"-
and her daughter ueriruuu. u. ... . .
Red Cross nurse, sold them for the
-Wayne Branch. Perhaps you might like
to know what tho Ideas were: They are
small booklets made In tho shape of a
Hed Cross with red cardboard covers and
white leaves and the wco booklet's tltlo
is "Quick Cures for Common Ailments."
The cures are printed alphabetically
and aro remedies for bruises, burns,
sprains, cuts and other accidents.
I think It was a dandy Idea and should
think nearly every one would want one
to hang by the family medicine chest.
Gertrude looked perfectly bewitching with
her wicker tray held over her shoulders,
tied on with red ribbons, and tho book
lets sold llko hot cakes.

I.JJ with the megaphone? He was quite
marvelous with his many announcements,
"Don't forget to seo tho German War
Relics, Just beyond the Rubbish Sale," and
other llko remarks. I must confess I
spent most of the tlmo In tho vaudeville'
tent, for Ituth Draper recited four times
and If shels anywhere near, I never wont
to miss hearing her.
Her Impersonation of a debutanlo
talking to a man In the conservatory be
tween dances was quite tho best of its
kind I have ever heard. Tho "Whistling
Cop" opened tho afternoon's performance
by whistling tho "Star Spangled Banner."
for which every one uncrossed his legs
and arose. Why Nancy, what on earth
do you mean? Oh! I did not tell you at
Arf. did I. that tho chairs for tho vaude-
E vllle did not arrive till quite some tlmo
after tho performance started, so every
one was sitting Turk fashion.
There was a Frenchman who Imitated
canaries, nightingales, robins and every
kind of bird; he was simply marvelous.
John Braun sang and Jane McLoughlln
did too, and Frances Lodge and Mr. Tp
land. Then there was a lovely little
trained dog and a violinist und the
eurhythmio dancing of the four small pu
pilu of Monsieur and Madame de Mon
tollu was lovely.
The exhibition of produco was excep
tionally fine. Mrs. Billy Clothier was
greatly Interested In this und was much
excited to And that her potatoes had been
given a first prize. She looked perfectly
bewitching in the Bed Cross costume; so
did Peggy Thayer and Lois Cassatt.
.., iiornio un n wonder hero, there
S" and everywhere. She certainly deserves
I" nil thn nrnlse Dosslblc for having made
V the Jlrst day of the carnival a hugo sue-
E, cess, and with today's clear weamcr u.
large amount must surely be guaranteea
the Red Cross.
When I left about 7 o'clock crowds
wero going up to the grounds to witness
the pageant, which was a wonder.
AN ADDJ3D attraction at ihe bazaar to
L be given at Camp Hill Hall on
October 6 will bo tho Dog Show, which
will take place at 2:30 o'clock under the
direction of Mariana Gowen.
All breeds of doggies, from the high
est and most fashionable, to the lowest
and least popular, will be entered. Dogglei.
with long, sleek hair and quivering noses;
doggies with turncdup noses, as well;
pups with bushy tails and bow-wows with
almost no tails at all will be there, and
little fluffy Pomeranians and long-bodleu
Dachels, and great greyhounds, and teeny
little Pekinese. Yes. they'll all be thero
and on their very best behavior, too.
They'll not speak out of turn. Oh, no,
but their little hearts wilt beat with pride
In their long pedigrees, and if one'should
have a "skeleton in his closet'' ho'll not
wink an eye, but hold his breath when the
medals and ribbons go the rounds, hoping
that the key to the closet has been irrev
ocably lost. Commander Payne, of the
Navy Yard, will send a Great Dane and
four puppies. Then Mrs. Francis Gowen,
Mariana's mother, will be in charge of
the bridge whist tables, and certainly a
number of prominent women have re
served tables for this feature. Among
them aro Mrs. Alexander Brlnton Coxe,
Mrs. C. Randolph Snowden, Mrs. Frank
Samuel, Mrs. Beverly Robinson Potter,
Mrs. A. J. Drexel Paul. Mrs. Stacy B.
Lloyd, Mrs. Richard J. Mattlson, Jr., Miss
Harriet Drayton, Mrs. John Latham, Mrs.
Effingham B. Morris and Mrs-. J. Walter
Steel. The committee assisting Mrs.
Gowen Includes Mrs. John White Geary.
Mrs. William C. Bullitt, Mrs. J. Kearsley
Mitchell, 3d, Mrs. Harry Wain Harrison,
1 Mrs. Joseph B. Hutchinson, Mrs. Richard
Cadwalader and Mrs. W. Frazier Harrl
on. Several beautiful prizes have been
donated for the occasion.
rpilB flower, vegetable and garden tool
-department will be ono of the 'attrac
tive features of the fete. Many well-known
florists will send contributions and the
gardeners from the big estates in the
Gwynedd Valley section aro also at work
Preparing exhibits and bouquets fpr sale.
Mrs. K. JI. Bayard Bowie Is chairman ot
that section of the affair, and will be a
lated, among others, by Mrs. Benson,
Mrs. George Willing, Jr., and M,s. de
Saint Shalle.
"My Lady's Boudoir" and fancy arti
cles will be directed by Mrs. Robert Kelso
Cassatt. Many of the Chestnut and Wal
nut street shops are contributing articles
and New York stores have also added to
the collection of attractive things which
Will be sold under the direction of Mrs,

Postcards, grab, bag, fortuno teller, nil
houottes, an accordion player nnd a magi
cian. Other features are being kept secret
in order to provide surprises for tho vlsl
tors. A doll house nnd doll show will be
among tho attractions for children. Com
mander Payne will provide a very un
usual donkey for tho children to ride.
Tho animal is particularly docile and will
carry three children at once. The donkey
with a full cargo will bo one of the charm-
mg pictures to be presented at tho fete.
A group of girls will net as aides nt
the refreshment tables. They will bo at
tired In tho navy colors nnd will dispose
of all sorts ot good things. Mrs. William
A. Piatt Is chairman of that department
of tho fete. .
pHE Chestnut Hill Branch of tho Na
tional League for Woman's Service Is
an active and ever-growing organization.
The Red Cross, under Mrs, Frederick A.
Packard, meets twlco a week to make
surgical dressings nnd other hospital sup
Plies. A great many women arc working
and a. great many more will bo needed,
for there Is a growing demand for this
end of tho service. And breathes there
a woman who doesn't knit? Certainly
not In tho Chestnut Hill Branch of the
Navy League, of which Mrs. U. N. Ben
fcon, Jr., Is chairman. Winter is coming
by leaps nnd bounds, nnd Jack Frost
must be cheated out of his annual nip
Ping of noses nnd toes. And thero Is
only one way to do this knit.
If you wore over in France, and very
lonely, wouldn't you llko tho consolation
of borne really delicious Jelly or Jam? I
think when you had finished homo would
not seem qulto so far away. And Mrs.
George Woodward seems to undcrstanS
this, for sho Is chairman of tho Canning
Center, where women meet to conscj-vo
fruits and vegetables, not only to be used
in their homes, but also to be sent In
large quantities to homesick boys in
Franco.
Wo all know that tho motor messenger
uniform is most becoming, but there are
a great many people who aro making
themselves generally useful without tho
aid of this picturesque addition. Lectures
are being given and new classes being
formed all the time to enable the women
of Chestnut Hill to have a sharo In th
national lesponslblllty.

SMOKES FOR SAMMEES
TO "GO OVER THE TOP"
Emergency Aid Fund Increases,
but the Demand Still Far
Exceeds the Supply
Smokes for tho Sammees abroad promise
to go over In largo numbers. Itospomo to
movements for this purpose has been ex
ceedingly generous. But it must bo re
membered that tho number of our fighters
In Franc'o will bo constantly Increasing nnd
that they will need many thousands of cig
arettes and packages of tobacco.
About 310.000 has been subscribed to tho
fund up to tho present time, with promises
of more It would be well to bear In
mind, however, that 325,000 would bo none
too much for this purpose, so nil are urged
to Join tho army of contributors and send
"their bit" for smoke Joy for tho man who
Is fighting your battlo as well as his own.
An Increase In the price of tobacco Is a
further nrgument to do tho level best There
Is no placo for ldlo change when It might
buy a pound of tobacco for a fighting
Sammee. , .,
Send the money to tho tobacco commit
tee ot tho Emergency Aid. 1428 Walnut

The change was made by the State he.
quarters In charge of the Government's jmw

In view of the decision of the provoa
mnrshal general's office that the lol
boards shall Immediately supply men In the)
Place of deserters, the delay is welcomes!
by tho local boards, who will be given thr4s
days In which to supply the Increments.
Notaries public., and unscrupulous law
yers nre rennlnc extortionate croflt jfroea
people who find the draft nrocess too com
plicated, according to ofllclals ot various
draft boards In the city. Complaints Are
In tho hands of the chief clerk of District
Appeal Board No. 2, Bronte Greenwood,
and John P. Connors, chairman of local
Draft Board No. 6, threatens to resign fcte
position rather than be subjected to con
nection with such methods, and has i
notified Colonel Frank Q. Sweeney. 1H
chargo of the State Draft Bureau at Har- ' .
rlsburg.
A bill of particulars, setting forth the
grounds for an indictment against Jacob R.
Baltr, of Sherwood road. Overbrook. who Is
"awaiting trial on a charge of perjury In
claiming exemption from tho draft, was,fllea
yesterday in the Federal Court by United
States Dhtrlct Attorney Kane.
In a letter to Colonel Sweeney, Connora
alleges that U A. Bloom, of 716 North
Fifth street, has been charging women
high as tCO for his services. Last night
Connors declared that Bloom recently held
up an exemption claim which a man had
filled out until his wife borrowed $9 td
make up $10. the fee demanded.
Bloom said last nlcht there was ns
truth In Connors's charges, and added that
he did not charge more than an ordinary
fee for assisting men In making out and
attesting exemption claims.
in his letter to Colonel Sweeney, Con
nors said tho practises of such lawyers
were "getting us a bad name," and "peopla
think wo are acting with tho men taking
the fees." Connors also accused a man
named Firestone, of Fifth street and Fair
mount avenue, with charging excessive fees.
An extract from Connors's letter to Colonel
Sweeney follows:
Bloom took $10 from one poor woman
for taking her affidavit, J60 from another
OP? -two at $4.50. Firestone charged
$20 for one affidavit. And to add Insult ,
to Injury, I am sending you a letter V
Bloom Wroto to this board.
This letter bears the name of L. A.
Bloom, 715 Race street, Philadelphia. Tha
communication Is signed, "L. A, Bloom, per
It." Tho letter concludes:
How are you getting on in gettlng.evi
dence against me and exposing me 7
Tho letter referred to the case of Steva
Katzul, who, because he was In jail th
letter states, was unable to appear when
called for examination. He Is out and ready
to appear before the board, the letter says,
Gustavo Carlson, of 1317 Parish street,
called by the Ninth District Local Board,
to go with .the recent detail for Camp
Meade, Is now being sought by the police as
a deserter, since he did not appear for en
trapment. The police declare that he was
a writer on tho Philadelphia Tageblatt.
