EVlOA'ING LEDGER 11J1LA1)::. IIL "W
DO YOU remember tho letter t iuoteil
to J on several weeks ngo from tho
dear old lady who wrote to tho Inde
pendence Square Ucil Cioss Auxiliary
and said sho wus endliiK them somo
worsted Beaif8 and rugs und old linen?
Well, my dears, they have- arilvcil, nnd
really I have seldom hecn such lovely
work or so many wonderful thing"!.
Croat rainbow rugs lorn; enough to cover
a huge dlvnn, and touch rovers and
shawls ot tho loveliest shades of pink
and blue nnd durk led or two shades of
dark blue. Absolutely, the rugs and
Afghans would do to fill nisi; a den ex
quisitely with covers und hangings.
And ns for tho linens! Well, such sheets
and pillow cases as cannot do bought for
lovo or money now, and not a tear or
patch; simply womloiful for bandages nnd
hospital things. Indeed, tho bis doublo
sheets could be made Into two for tho
almplo hospital bed; und Imagine tho sol
diers lying on ie.nl linen!
I stopped In by chnnco to sco the work
ers, for tho room is always filled and tho
bandages and dressings piles on the closet
shelves aro growing nnd growing, and
they showed mo tho lovely things.
Tho auxiliary will sell the scarfs nnd
rues to the highest bidders, nnd tho sweet
old lady still remains unknown. Just as
she wished; there Is no way ot tracing
hor, though I even examined tho trunks
myself.
It's wonderful to see In one auxiliary
alono how many donations come In day
after day, checks and wool and dressings
materials! And the workers thete hard
at It for hours at n time.
Tljcy havo tho most remarkable pipes
for sale for tho soldier boys, or for any
boys, for that matter. They aro mado
from the mocha nut, which Is scooped
out and tho end of tho bowl Is polished,
whl'o tho rough nut, which resembles u
minlaturo cocoanut, Is left on tho sides.
A small hole Is bored In the sldo and a
wooden pipe stem inserted. Tho pipes
cost only twenty-flvo cents and they last
forever, for tho nut will not break no
matter how hard ou tlnow It on tho
rround, nor will tho edges burn or crust.
In the big show window they havo a
plpo bowl mado twenty-three years ago
Tihlch has been .smoked for twenty ears,
and It Is as clean and sweet ns a whistle.
It strikes mo that that is somo pipo to
end to a soldier In the trenches, what
do you think? I'll find out how they aro
rolng to dlsposo of tho rugs and scarfs
and tell you, for I feel suro you'll want
to be let In on it.
MnS. ARCHIBALD BARKLin, gen
eral chairman of the recent Sporting
Carnival yesterday announced that tho
returns from tho affair will net tho
American Rod Cross moro than $20,000.
Tho money Is to bo divided among tho
Main Lino branches of tho organization
&nd will bo used to buy bandages and ma
terials for other hospital supplies.
"Whllo It might havo been possible to
make moro money by charging a higher
admission," said Sirs. Barklio yesterday,
"wo feel that tho carnival achieved Its
greatest success In carrying the message
of the Red Cross to thousands who havo
never been directly In contact with the
movement before. Visitors came- from
miles around and tho carnival was Just
what wo had hoped It would be, a
big democratic affair, with eery one
having an Interest and every ono helping.
There is no question but that the lied
Cross will be better known now In our
mall hamlets and In the remote farming
Motions near the Main Line.
"Wholo families came to spend the day
at the carnival and none of them went
away displeased. They wero all welcome
and we hope they had a good time. Every
one connected with tho affair worked
very hard and the success which 'at
tended it was deserved."
The pageant, which was held both
nights and which was pronounced the
best thing of Its kind ever attempted on
the Main Line, was directed by Mrs.
Otis Skinner, and every one connected
with the carnival was according high
praise to Mrs. Skinner's efficient man
agement, At the end of the tableau on
Saturday night Edward T. Stotcsbury got
a megaphone nnd demanded three cheers
for Mrs. Barklle, which wero given with
such enthusiasm ns to cause evident em
barrassment to the general chairman.
Then Mr. Stotesbury called for the samo
tribute to Mrs. William J. Clothier, vlco
chairman, nnd other aides, qnd again'
the reply was thunderous.
Tho baby show developed a cfcso ot
ballot-box stuffing by a United States Sen.
ator. Senator Knox's grandchild was en
tered in the popul.uity contest. Votes
cost ten cents apiece and tho Junior Sen
ator from Pennsylvania made sure that
the younger Knox generation should be
honored by casting enough votes to bilng
first prize.
In the honest-to goodness baby show
the prizes wero all taken by children of
farmers and other residents along the
Main Line, with tho exception of tho prize
for the cutest baby, which went to Mr.
r-Mi MrS" Sydney K T- Crock's child.
Children of many prominent families
eio enccred h! tho baby show, but the
Brock youngster was the only one tc
come away with a prize, which war
awar!J stilctly on the merits of the
case.
WELL' I lpe you and your children
