AND now It's tho Italian Branch of tho
Aemergenclr Aid -which Is coming Into
th limelight nealn, and this tlma an
auction bridge party has bten planned
to Uko Plce at Manhelm: In other
words, the Germahtown Cricket Club,
and on "Wednesday, October 24, at 2
o'clock.
Something tells me that Just purely
bridge parties, precedod by luncheon or
followed by tea, are not goltyr to bo
tho thing they were In tho way of
recreation last year, and so those of us
who enjoy a game of auction will have
extreme pleasure In playing at this af
fair without feeling that wo aro wast
ing our tlmo when It should bo more
profitably spent In knitting or cutting
oakum pads. You see, the money will
be used for the Italians, as tho mem
bers of tho Comltato Pro Italia, of which
Mrs. Benjamin Mlllor Is chairman, sec
fit, and, Incidentally, let mo mention,
although tho Incident will not be In the
least Incidental, that Mrs. Miller will
peak on tho work of the committee and
"The Italian Battlefront" that after
noon. Tho stirring pictures shown at tho
Garrlck a fortnight ago did much to
etlmulato interest in tho Italian side of
tho war question and to bring to our
people the realization that these men
and women aro in need of our Immediate
aid. Flags of tho Allies wilt be artis
tically used In decorating the hall at
Manhelm. Tho committee on arrange
ments includes Mrs. Walter D. Bains,
chairman; Mrs. Francis Ellis MacGrath,
Mrs. Nicholas Petry, Mrs. Perclval Tat
tersfleld, Mrs. James Campbell and Mrs.
Foster Boeder.
Margaret Law Is chairman of the
Junior committee and her aides will bo
Josephine Reeves, Mary Primrose
Reeves, Betty MacCuen Smith. Christine
Rehn, Eloanor "Wunder, Marguerite
Burton, Ruth Marshall, Dorothy
Marshall, Elizabeth Van Dusen, Joseph
ine Dodge, Theodora Ross and Emlyn
Shipley. ,
Cake and cand'y will be sold during
tho afternoon and somo one was r.n.art
enough to think of having a booth
whero Instruction In knitting articles
for soldiers and sailors will be given and
demonstrations jr. surgical dressings will
also be made. Margaret Tattjrsflel 1 will
be In charge of this part of tho affair.
DID you know Mary Thomas Is to bo
mnrrled In West Chester on Saturday
of this woek to Lieutenant Carroll Hall,
,of the navy? Mary Is so pretty she la
sure' to make a stunning bride, and Mario
Sellers la going to bo maid of honor.
Strikes me that wedding party will be
worth seeing. How about it?
It's going to take place at 12:30 In tho
Church of tho Holy Trinity, In West
Chester,, and the Rev. John Mills Gilbert,
who Is rector of tho church, will officiate.
Mary's two sisters, Carol and Linda, will
be bridesmaids, and there are to be two
small flower girls.
Mr. Hall's brother, William Hall, who
is a second lleutonant In the army and
has been at Fort Hancock, Is coming up
specially on leavo to act as best man for
his brother, and there are to bo two navy
men among the ushcrB. Jack Hastings,
Dick Murtha and Mary's two brothers
will be ushers, too, and Wallace Lee,
who you remember is a Philadelphian,
but has been living In Cuba, will be
another usher. He married tho bridegroom-elect's
sister several years ago.
I don't dare tell you anything about
the dresses yet, but I hear they aro to
be perfectly lovely, and I don't doubt it.
Mary 1b certainly a peach of a 'girl and
I wish her tho best of happiness.
ONE of the most attractive features of
tho Navy Day Fete tomorrow will bo
the Tea GardclH with Mrs. Charles B.
Penrose, of Devon, as chairman. This
department will have an Inclosu.-t on tne
grounds of Camp Hill Hall, where tho Mg
fete Is to be held and the incloiuro tvM
be decorated with cherry blossoms,
while the pretty aides will bo dressed as
Japanese Geisha girls. Among the aides
will bo Hannah Wright, Sarah Penrose,
who Is Mrs. Penrose's daughter; Leta
Sullivan, Frances Sullivan, Betty Miller,
Lorraine Graham and Clyde Brodhead.
I hear Frances Sullivan is going to
wear a perfectly marvelous kimono which
was brought from Japan by Gladys
Hinckley, of Washington, who is a great
friend of Frances, you know. It is a wed
ding kimono, made ot white silk, beauti
fully embroidered In colors and lined with
an exquisite shad? of salmon pink satin.
All of the Geisha girls will have their
hair dressed In Japanese fashion and
adorned with fans' and chrysanthemums.
They ought to look sweet, don't you
think?
The women on the committee with
Mrs. Penrose include Mrs. Phlllppus
Miller, Mrs. Tom Kewhall, Mrs. James
Francis Sullivan and Mrs- D. M. Barring,
ton. Mrs. William Anthony Piatt will
entertain In the restaurant at luncheon
during tho fete.
TCTVERY week alm6at I hear something
J-J new about the Wayne Branch or the
Red Cross. It sure is a live proposition.
They are always doing something1 an
ooing mat something well, too. You re
member, I told you about the bed they
had endowed In the Red Cross Hospital
In France fend the "birthday" box whlcHt
they sent oyer when (he branch was a
year old.
Well, the latest thing Is that they aro
going to send an ambulance to France.
They have one fully equipped and ready
to send, and hope to have another soon.
At the last meeting of the Red Cross at
the Wayne headquarters Mrs. William H.
Brooks, who Is chairman, spoke about
an ambulance and said it had been a pet
scheme of hers that the Wayno Branch
would be able pdmatlme t6 send an ambu
tone. Well, my dears, after that meet
ing, one of the members told Mrs. Brooks
that she would send her a check to pay
for half of an ambulance, and that very
evening another said she would give tin?
other half. Think of ltl And so fired
with enthusiasm are other, members of
the, branch they havo decldod o raise
, asi fpr a second ambulance by small
, tkn. tht.!i jmV fcaYa,ahara in W,.
make, decdedly large and will accommo
date four stretchers In service. It Is fitted
out with a complete first-aid kit and has
various other articles of equipment,
which make It as near complete as It Is
posolble for it to be.
rpHERE has been bo much' said about
A Mrs. Charlie Wright's return to the
East that I am glad to be able to say
she really will arrive very soon and will
spend a month or two with Hebo Dick,
her daughter, in Chestnut Hill, bofore
going. back to California; for they tell
me sho finds the climate In the far West
moro healthy than here and is quite
wedded to California.
Mrs. Wright lived abroad fnr n lnnc
tlmo before tho war broko out and does
not seem to want to give up travel
ing and stay at home In Chestnut Hill,
r suppose, once one has started to llvo In
several places during a year and has no
settled homo, It la hard to como down
to regular llfo again. Anyway, sho seems
to love tho Golden West, and I can't say
I blame her; It must bo wonderful coun
try, though as far ns I nm concerned
Philadelphia usually looks pretty good to
me.
Mrs. Wright was tho beautiful Carrlo
McMurtrle, a sister ot Miss Mary and
Miss Nelllo McMurtrle and a cousin ot
the Murrays, Bohlens and McCalls. You
remember Bhe gavo Mary Bohlen's coming-out
party two years ago at her lovely
home at St. Martins. Mary Bohlcn, by
the way, Is now Mary Tllghman. sho
and Dick having been married last May.
Dick Is In the army and Is at Fort Han
cock, so Mary is living In Augusta these
days. Perhaps Mrs. Wright may bo per
suaded to stay longer than a month or so
with her charming dauehter nnd son-ln-law
and the wee grandchildren.
rpHE Langdon Mitchells havo como
down from their summer homo in
Northeast Harbor and aro In Media for
tho present before going to Washington.
You know they havo takon a house thero
for tho winter. We'll miss Valentine a
lot here; she is an exceedingly clover
girl nnd very well liked. Sho came out
here a couple of years ago and had a
very good time.

CONTENTMENT
FUND STARTED
South Philadelphians Give Con
cert for Fund to Buy Pleas
ures for Soldiers
Now that fo many of our soldiers are
"at home" In Camp Meade, we are begin
ning to hear a lot ot things about that In
teresting place and what Is going on down
there. There seems to havo been no end
of splendid equipment to mako everything
Just as comfortable as possible, but at this
early period there Is a woeful lack of pltns-ure-glvlng
devices. Fancy men by the thou
sands having only a dozen footballs, or an
evening gathering with a talking machine.
And so, some of tho more progressive ofTl
cers have started what they call a "content,
mend fund. The money Is to buy balls,
bats, tennis rackets, a talking machine and
everything else that may add to the con
tentment of the men, and, needless to say,
the project Is meeting with favor every
where., Lleute'nant Harry Furcy wrote so per
suasively to his sisters In the Glrard
Estate that a big concert te under way,
by which the children of th'e Rush and
Fumess Schools hopo to have a most
acceptable mite to send to the camp be
fore Thanksgiving. The Board of Educa
tion has very kindly donated the handsome
auditorium of the Furness School, Third
and McKean streets, for the ovenlngs of
November 4 and 5, and the Janitor and the
engineer, anxious to help, have volunteered
their services. The older children, that Is
those attending the Furness School, aro
working up some splendid patriotic num
bers and, under the capable direction of
Miss Helen Dussey. will be seen In some
delightful, folk dances. The tiny tots of
five and six who attend the Rush School,
Fourth and Snyder avenue, simply would
not be left out, and so Miss Anna Furey
has written a very clever little playlet
about Old Mother Goose, which somehow
never grows old when done by the little
ones, and of course their number will not
by any means bo tho least Interesting.
Mr. J. Bcadllng, whose son, Captain
Deadline. Is much Interested In the fund, Is
also working hard to make the affair a
success. Indeed, the appeal Is such an
earnest one that If attendance at these first
little concert for tho fund will be the means
of purchasing enjoyment for the men who
have answered their country's call, It Is a
foregone conclusion that the efforts of the'
workers will be very successful.
Friends of Miss Marie Mohan, of 1537
nitner street, will be glad to learn that she
Is convalescing from her recent serious Ill
ness. Miss Mohan contracted pneumonia
on her way up from Atlantic City, where
she had spent her vacation, and for several
weeks her life was In danger.
Cynwyd to Hnvc "War Relief Bazaar
A baraar will be held for the benefit ot
War and Local Relief Work by the Women h
Club of Cynwyd. In St. John's Parish House
at Cynwyd, today and tomorrow afternoons,
r.tartlng at 3 o'clock. Supper will be
served each evonlng from 6 to 7:30. Mrs.
George E. Bean Is president of tho club, and

secretary.

SAILORS SING
FOR MUSIC FUND
Entertainment Given by Crew of
Iowa at Century Club in
Lansdowne
Quite the best and most enjoyable en
tertainment Lantdowne has had for a long
time wbp given last Saturday night at the
Century Club by some thirty of the sailors
from the battleship Iowa. The program was
so good nnd of such variety that the audi
ence wns kept continually In that highly
Interested I-wonder-what's-comlng-next
state of rr.'nd. And that audience was some
audience. Every single seat In tho hall was
taken, and eery spot that could be used
for "standing room," too. Perhaps this
spurred the sailors on to do their very
bes'j any way, they surely did It. Mr.
Gou'.d, the .chaplain of the Iowa, had charge
of tho entertainment, and Introduced each
number In tho most delightful manner.
Several sailors sang solos, and they had
good voices, too. The audience was a wee
bit scared when the good chaplain came
out and announced, in a woeful voice, that
one of the sailors had lost his voice. Hut,
to everybody's relief, It turned out that the
name of the song he was to Blng was
"Mountain Voice," and, that the piece of
music had playfully hidden Itself under
something or other. It was soon discov
ered, however, and the sailor-owner, who
sang It, proved that he had his voice right
with him.
Then there were several groups of recita
tions, "of Infinite variety," for some were
serious, nnd others were Bcreamlngly funny.
One sailor recited some original poems
nnd others, one of them being this gentle
little "shot" at borne of tho knitting the
boys get presented with:
"Some socks, some lit !
I'll use one for a hammock, one for a mitt.
I'd like to meet you when I've done my bit,
But who in thunder taught you to knit?"
However, the Jackie evidently didn't
mean what he said, for he wore a perfectly
good knitted sweater himself.
One of the best features of the program
was tho Iowa Quartet. How those four
sailors did sing I They put so much vim
Into It that the audience simply would not
stop clrpplng when they had finished. One
of the quartet later Impersonated Harry
Lauder, and he did It ery cleverly. Thero
was a pianist, too, and then several num
bers were played by the "famous Iowa
band," that title being laughingly bestowed
upon It by tho chaplain But the band
really deserved It, for It was splendid. At
the very last It played several popular airs,
and the audience was urged to join In the
chorus ot each one. The people were
rather timid at first, but when the band
struck up "Where Do Wo Go From Here.
Boys," well, didn't everybody sing then?
Tho sailors want to buy a piano, or a
tnlklng machine with records, before they
leave for overseas. Everybody heartily
approved of the Idea, for think how much
It will mean, to all those boys In blue to
have somo music to keep them bright and
cheerful! Mr and Mrs. E. Wager-Smith
made It possible for them to come out to
Lansdowne and give their entertainment,
and when Mr Wager-Smith made an earn
est plea for each person to give his bit
toward the music fund, everybody gave it
gladl.f, and contributed a considerable
amount.
After the entertainment the sailors were
served with Ice cream and cake, and then
the band played splendid music and lots
ot people stayed and danced. It certainly
was a pleasant eenlng xor everybody.
Mr. and Mrs. W. It. Davis, with Mr. and
Mrs, T. E. Hlnkson. of Philadelphia, have
been motoring through the Alleghanles.

NOW that tho many suburban residents
have been and are giving such wonder
ful carnivals and outdoor fetes In aid of
the nod Cross Society, It may be Inter
esting to noto that among the features of
society life in the 60s was the Fetes
Champetrcs, given In the summer at the
various country seats of the neighborhood.
These functions wore In tho naturo of large
picnics and wcro managed very much In
tho snmo way as the Assemblies In the
winter. In those days the majority of the
Invitations were either written or pflnted,
not engraved ; and even the Assonibly cardu
wero not the engraved Invitations sent to
day to each subscriber One of these printed
Invitations was as follows:
Fete Chsmpetre at Old Oaks, Towmhtp I.ln

SperUl cars hae been provided by tho man

The train will leavo the depot, Ninth nnd

Coachca will cumer the ffucata from the station
to "Old Oaka."
The train with private cara will leave "Tlosa"
Station at 8 p. m. for the city.
Private carriages may remain on the sroundf.
Hired coneyanceH Inust.no to hotel nt Nlcetovtn

If It should rain the fete will be postponed
until the following day.
Philadelphia, May. 1863.
The managers of th'R fete were Dr. Athci
ton Blight. Mr. Alfred Dcvereux, Mr. John
Large. Mr. John T. Lewis, Jr. Mr. Harry
Markoe and Mr. Henry Pepper.
Of course the fashionable set In those
days In Philadelphia was very much smaller
than It Is today, and all of the entertain
ments, excepting the Assemblies, were given
In private houses, ns It was considered in
very bad taste to give a party In a public
riacc. As to Old Oaks, passengers on
ho Gcrmantown and Chestnut Hill division
of tho Pennsylvania Itallroad In passing
through Tioga going north may see this
onco palatial brownstone mansion standing
on the summit of a hill. With nil Its wear
and neglect it has still the appearanci of an
aristocrat.
It was built In the 40s of the laBt cen
tury, by Mr. Chrlst'an Swartz for Mr. John
Tucker, the first prerldent of the Philadel
phia and Heading Railroad. Back of mo
mansion was a forest of majestic oaks from
which the owner gave It Its name, Old
Oaks. Everything about the house waB In
accord with Its external appearance. Tim
hallway through the center was very broad,
and tho stairway magnificent Tho large
reception room was at the west end ot tno
building. In the rear of tho mansion was a
large octagonal-shaped summer houso of
ornamental Ironwork, and a stable of
brownstone. In the valley to the west ww
a large circular-top grapery, glazed with Im
ported glass of rich ornamentation and col
oring. The building was approached by
drives from Abbotsford avenuo on the
north, and on the south from Nlcetown
lane by two bridges crossing the Port Rich
mond branch of the Reading Railway.
The property passed from the Tucker
possession, and Inter, tho railroad pnsslng
through tho estate, tho mansion became
dilapidated nnd the grounds were Bold to
tho Old Oaks Cemetery Company. The
cemetery was laid out In circles radiating
from a large circular plot owned by the
Volunteer Firemen's Association of Phila
delphia on which was erected a large
monument surmounted by a heroic statue
of Peter Lyle, chief of the volunteer firemen.
This statue was subsequently removed to
another cemetery. While the estate was
