HOYT, FARCE ACTOR, PRAISES FILM WORK EVENING LEDGEPHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1917 It i Otis Harlan Rejoices in Fresh Air Features of Screen Plays IN THE MOMENT'S MODES Some of the Season's Smart Hats Have High Crowns Ma MA SMOKES FOR SAMMEES, ALL RIGHT, BUT FOR SAMMETTES? HORRORS! Comfort Kits for American Nurses in Europe From Philadelphia Will NOT Contain Cigar ettes, Says Mrs. Lorimer at Red Cross Rooms By M'LISS SHADES of Florence Nightingale! They've put a cigarette In the mouth of the nngel of mercy and, according to latest reports, she's puffing hard. Which Is to say that that many women nlllcd with the Red Cross believe that one of tho first comforts of the comfort kit sent to the Sammcttes In war hospitals abroad should be clcarettcs. Noxious though the weed may be, the contention Is that It Is not nearly so noxious as the odors from a gan gangreno wound and that a redolent "smoke" may serve, paradoxical ly, to clear the atmosphere when alt else falls. New York has been rocked with the prob lem for a week. To Include the cigarettes or not? In Philadelphia the problem exists not at all. The answer Is simple. "Smokes will NOT bo Included In the kits." "We haven't begun making up comfort kits for nurses," Mrs. George Horace Lorlmcr. In charge of the Independence Square Red Cross working room, said, "but I think it can be stated positively that cigarettes will not be Included. The con ception of n nurse at her duties with- a cigarette In her mouth Is foreign to us. r don't believe our American nurses abroad would appreciate the enclosure of smokes In their kits." According to Miss Stella Hall, a Red Cross nurse, who was In Serbia at the time of the German Invasion and who now Is doing her bit at tho Red Cross head quarters, 2S1 South Eighteenth street, the American nOYfee does ry well, thank you, without her "clgs " "I do not believe the American nurse will want cigarettes," Miss Hall said; "from my ob-ervatlfln she won't. They Bay that tho excitement, particularly when the horribly wounded nro being brought In by tho thou sands, makes this form of stimulation a help, If not an nctuat necessity, to tho nurse who wants' to keep on her feet. "It Is not true. 1 wns In llelgrade when the Serbians took 60.000 Germans. The ex citement was frenzied. The nurses wcro wild with work. Thcro were only twelve grnduatcs there 1 saw none smoking whllo on duty. "It Is true that the Serbian nnd French nurses smoked when they were oft duty. J have not worked with tiro English nurses. I did not see the entlro time t wns oer thcro nn American nurse smoking, either on or off duty. I do not think wo shall have that problem to consider at all." CHIP IN NOW AND HELP SAMMEES' SMOKE FUND Give a Dollar or a Dime ; What ever You Can Afford Will Be Appreciated One of the most attractive uses to which ostrich trimming is being put in the development of winter chapeaux is that illustrated in the upper model of the two hats sketched. This high - crowned, drooping brim chapcau is of black velvet. The ostrich band is black and the brim's facing i3 shirred rose velvet. A crown of more than average or conventional height, and yet one that stops short of being extreme, makes the lower model different from many other of the wide-brimmed chapeaux now being shown in the style shops. The crown is of black hatter's plush. The trimming is a huge bow of castle-rose velvet ribbon, and this same ribbon, shirred, is used for the covering of the brim. DIVORCE ENDS WIFE CHASB Young Italian Girls Rids Herself Unwelcome Husband of Its some consolation to reach In your pocket and pull out a handy smoke when you're feeing blue. Theic's an ease of mind as you watch the smiiko clouds floating away just as your troubles will, eventually, If you go after them In the right manner. Hut when you are away from home In a strange land where strenuous duties mako It Impossible to get In touch with smokes of any kind you certainly miss your old-time puffa of peace. That Is Just tho plight of thousands of our fighting soldiers abroad. There Is a way, however, of supplying this great comfort. Tho tobacco commltteo of the Kmergeucy Aid, 142S Walnut street. Is gathering money to buy smokes of all kinds for the boys In France. It Is the hope of tho committee to make this fund thoroughly representative, m they urge you to chip In and give what you can to the 'Smokes for Snmmees" fund. The contributions received jesterday amounted to Jlooo, making a total up to the present time of $13,338.41. A card party at Mlllbourno brought $150, while a number of other contributions wcro raised by similar affairs. Among the largest con tributions during the last week were thos-e collected at performances of the Jack o' Lnntern Company, which totaled $J-'S 29, and another of JW.51, collected at the concerts of tho Great Lakes Naval Training Station Hand. If you can afford u dollar, so much tho better, but should you feel that a dime Is your limit for the time being. Just slip It In an envelope and send It to tho committee. Later on you may find sumo other coins when tho financial harvest Is better. If so, you may send them along too. Jinny contributors to the smoke, fund have ni.ido it u habit. Incidentally, it's a good habit to cultivate. Yield to thlp temptation now and help to Increase the J13.000 which has been contributed up to the present time. Club Discharges German Waiters 'IIOSTON, Oct. 18. The German waiters and servants employed at the IJoMon City Club, numbering about twenty, have been 'discharged because of complaints by mem bers of alleged ' breaches of discipline."
