Sunnyside Day Nursery to Hold Halloween Enter
tainment at Merion Cricket Club Nancy
Wynne Makes Many Comments
WELL, tho Sunnysldo Day Nursery is
nt It again; thnt Is. the committee of
markers 1ms decided to got up an en
tertainment nt tho Merlon Cricket Club
on tho afternoon nnd evening of October
II for tho nursery's benefit. Tho attract
' vc circular which has been rent out
ttates that "In order to meet conditions
arising from the war the Sunnyside Day
Nursery has doubled Its rapacity and li
already caring for children whose fathers
are serving In the armed forces of our
country. The malingers hope that the
proceeds of this entcrtnlnment will en
able them to enrry on through the coming
year the work for which they are now
to well prepared."
The afternoon will bo for tho children
and the entertainment will last from 3
until fi o'clock. There will be movlej,
toys for sale, nnd enke, candy nnd Ice
cream, nnd tho admission will be only
fifty cents.
Can't you sen them, nil the l'lddles
about the Main I.'.nc gathered together in
their smocked frocks nn 1 DIcHens suits,
chattering and gurgling and giggling over
the pictures nnd nurroundlng the goodies
with pink lips and gaaps of delight! I'd
bate to miss seeing them.
Then In tho evening there will be a
dance to meet tho officers of the navy
and marine corps, and that will last from
t until midnight and will be n subscrip
tion affair, the tickets costing $1.50. The
whole Idea seems rather unlqu) to me,
and I am very glad thnt a new arrange
ment of old things has been possible,
for even movies nnd a dance under such
attractive conditions may seem new.
The managers of tho Sunnyside Day
Nursery (which, by tho wuy, Is bituated
at 1211 Thompson street) lncludo Miss
Georgane S. Butler, Miss Marian F. But
3r, Mrs. J. Kmott Caldwell, Mrs. Walter
Clothier. Miss Kdlth Collins, Mrs. John

THE Charity Ball Is to take place, after
all; some people, you know, predicted
that It would not; but, goodness gracious!
our own local charities have lo bo kept
up as well as the charities for those
across the sens, and some three or four
hospltnls would certainly suffer If there
were no churlty hall.
So CHAIUTY Ball there will be. and
.for the first time for many a year. If over
before. It will be given after Christmas.
The beneficiaries decided upon nre the
Children's Aid Society, Jefferson Medical
College, Philadelphia Lying-in Charity
and the Children's Medical Wurd of the
University Hospital.
There will bo some special feature at
the opening of the ball, as In the last
five or six years, ond many prominent
members of "SusBlcty" will take part
therein.
WHEN I whh talking nbout the Junior
League girls two days ago I never
dreamed they would be up and doing in
active work as soon as they Intend to be.
Bo it Is, however; for lo and hohold you!
they held a meeting on Tuesday In their
pretty rooms at the College Club und de
cided to hold a huge rummage sale, to
tart November 27 and last through five
days until December 1. Preliminary ar
rangements were made .and every girl
present offered her services. The pro
ceeds are to go to the Bed Cross, to
which most if not all of the members
belong.
It is interesting to me and probably to
you to know thnt among those who at
tended the meeting nnd were assigned to
different departments for tho salo were
Mrs, Joe Thayer, who wlfl have charge
of the men's clothing department, as
sisted by Jean Thompson, Dorothy New
bold, Mrs. Rowland Evans and Mrs.
Fenno Hoffman. Women's clothes will be
sold by Mrs. Kustls Payne, Helen Tower
and Marion Taylor, while Gertrude Heck
cher will havo charge of tho books. An
attractive floral booth will be under the
direction of Emily Fox. Light refresh
ments will be served by Mary Newbold,
asisted by Rachel Baker and Isabel
Howell, while a barrel of chestnuts at
ten cents a grab will be dispensed by
ceclly Barnes.
The committee on ways and means
includes Gwen Martin, Dorothy Newbold,
Charlotte Brown nndy Sarnh Nellson.
AS I entered the subway car recently
a young man In the new winter army
uniform arose and, offering me a seat,
.called me by my name. I was terrifically
purzled, for I knew I ought to know him,
nd fumbled along In my conversation
with him, careful not to make any vlarlng
"faux pas" to show him that I had not
recognlred him. I asked questions ns to
hla camp, what he was doing and so on.
He told me all about the dally routine
nd of the advantages tf the life he was
now leading. Among other things, he
aid he had always had good health, but
that Now It was wonderful health.
Then ho said he was up on a furlough
and that his former "boss" (I immediately
took notice), and he mentioned his name,
had gone down to Camp Meade to bring
h'n up in his machine.
It was the young man who had often
bean sent to do PLUMBING Jobs at the
houae. Still, I never would have known
him. From tho man In old, soiled clothes,
who stooped slightly under the we'ght
of a heavy kit of tools ond bent over hla
work, there was n great distance to this
tall, aquaro-ahouldered man 'standing so
rct and looking ao fine and strong,
greatly enjoyed my talk with him,
ivhlchi Incidentally, ended by his saying:
"Whether we ever see, real service or
, t, J for on am glad to have had this
better T U. Sh0Uld and w" "
,l,lnR,JM very bad. down deep, the
roots would never come up"
I-crhaps the men In camp are not the

Philadelphia Orchestra Fur-
nished Music for Charming
Allegory by Wellesley Club
-.m1!?1? '"i,1" Philadelphia, Orchestra, dl
rocted by Mr. Knnrlcli. of Boston; dancing
by moro than 100 high nchool and college
girls, costumes that are a riot of br'lllat.t
color against u tnckground of great natural
?.'?. y"7,'",.i ,nl" n" Imposing array of
factors for the success of a pageant" Such
are the elements which make up tho won-
??(. ?"t,vn lr. ,f whlc tl,e Wellesley
t lub, of Philadelphia, Is staging today on
tho fpnclous grounds of Dr. and Mrs
Thomas O. Ashton at Wynnewood. who
have so generously thrown open their coun
try cMato. Bed Leaf, for this occasion.
In these days, when all sortR of women
are doing their b:t," you may be sure that
crlSs.e ?lR nro not Boln to lag behind.
And In this cnie they nre doing something
winch Is entirely unique, and nre contribut
ing not only tu the funds of the Red Cross
and Emergency Aid. but to the pleasure of
the goncrul public as well. It has bcn the
am of Dr. Emllle H. Gregory, who has so
amy headed tho Imceant mmmiiiu in .!...,
an Inspiring entertainment In these das
when wholesome recreation Is hi greatly
needed, ns well as to aid the stricken
women of Europe's war-devastated regions,
lor college women to stretch the hand of
aid to needy women across the sens Is
surely a splendid aim, especially If they
can do so by giving to us a spectacle of
rare artistic merit
Wpllesley's beautiful campus has been
the scene of many open-air performances,
but none has surpassed the Tree Day
pageant of 101G. It Is, in fact, tho wtory of
Wellesley's life nnd development as a col
lege. The allegory is very finely conceived.
After the entrance of the mistress of rere
monlcs. Miss Dorothy Spelllseey, who typi
fies tho College Beautiful, and her aides,
Wellesley (Mrs i:. (l. Hughes), a figure
veiled In gray chiffon over blue, enters hesi
tatingly ns the young nnd struggling col
lege. Faith nnd the attending Virtues. In
coral robes, meet her nnd encourage her.
Their joyous dance of freedom Ik inter
rupted by Prejudice. Ignorance and Conven
tion, who, In somber costumes, accompanied
by Doubts nnd Fears In batllkc garb, br.r
the wny Hut Faith dispels them and
leases the young Wellesley free to meet
Wlrdnm and Honor, two stately figures,
M'si Harding and Miss Van Dyke, who now
advance across the green. They symbolise
the college departments of study and tho
Student Government Association.
Next Strength, In hunter's green, with
bow nnd arrow, and Play in Pierrot cos
tume, dance down from the hill to personify
the uthletlc and social life of the college.
Now Wisdom Invokes tho different branches
of study, personified by groups of dancers
In symbolic costume. The classics nro
brought to life by the dance of nymph nnd
fuwn, Miss Schaeffer nnd .Miss Perkins, In
puro pngnn Joy. The hclcnces ure repre
sented by Astronomy, dainty figures In sky
blue, who toes sliver balls; I'hemlstr?.
quaint figures of alchemists in effective
dances; Botany, n group of dancers In pale
tints carrying llower gnrlands; History, a
Renaissance soldier, and Philosophy with a
torch to light tho wny, Art. Poetry nnd
Music. All these nre single figures in pro
cessional effect. Tho modern language;,
French, German, Spanish nnd Italian, In
striking national costume, give chacterls
tic folk dances.
Suddenly all the groups sweep together
und mingle In a joyous ballet, now going
faster nnd faster, till all la a circling mass
of brilliant hue. Just as the whirl and mo
tion 1h at Its he'ght the climax of the
pageant Is renched, for down from the hill
sweeps Fire (Ml.ts Gehrls), accompanied by
row after row of Smoke and Flamo dancers.
It Is a highly dramatic moment, and specta
tors watched with tense Interest the scat
tering of tho ballet by the onslaught of
Fire. As many of us will remember, the
highly effective acting Is reminiscent of tho
fire of March, 1914. when College Hall was
destroyed.
The flguic of Wellesley Is overwhelmed.
Her companions aro now Grief and De
spair, who soon, at the touch of Faith,
chango to Hope and Promise and lead her
to meet In the golden figure of the New
Era (MUs Waters) a future of renewed life
and power.
Such is the charming allegory presented
at Wynnewood this' afternoon. It is won
derful In conception and execution. In dance
step nnd color scheme. It 1b needless to add
that the orchestra's performance was of the
hlglie.it value for the artistic scheme of the
whole. Too much praise cannot be given
to Dr. Eniille B. Gregory, who headed th
executive committee; to Miss Harriet Jt
Blake, of the Baldwin School, Bryn Mawr,
and MUs Constance Gill, of Overbrook, of
the publicity committee, and to Miss Helen
Harbison, who as chairman of tho costume
committee has worked ludefatlgably to
secure tho proper colors, which wcro m
effectively used. Tho dancing was taught
by Mls Sarnh Schaeffer and Miss Emma
Salom. Probably the finest solo work of
the afternoon was done by Miss Marlon
Waters, as the New Era. who danced with
splendid vigor and grace, and by Miss
Helen Gehrls In her spirited rendering of
the Fire dance.
VACATION TIME STILL LINGERS

of Mild Weather to Visit Seashore
It seems as though the wanderlust still
has the people In Its grasp for, although the
summer Is past, vacation time Is still here.
Time was that on September 1 seaside and
country hotels closed the shutters, barred
the doors and said good-by until next
season, but now hotels put on a gala air.

SERIES OF BRIDGE
PARTIES PLANNED
Navy Yard Colony to Give Only
Small Informal Entertain
ments This Year
There must bo social diversion of soma
kind, no matter how stronuous theso war
times become. So, at least, tho naval set
has decreed. "All work and no play" makes
the proverbial dull boy, and besides, one
cannot go on knitting forever. So several
of the navy yard women have planned a
series of small, informal bridgo parties.
Mrs. Charles Brnnd, wlfo of Naval Con
structor Brand, l S. N., has planned such
a berles, tho first of which she will give on
Wednesday nftcrnoon nt her home, 2518
South Twenty-tecond street. In honor of
Mrs. Frederick Colburn, wife of Navat Con
structor Colburn. U. S. N.
Mrs. Robert Dennlg, wife of Captain
Dennlg, U. S. N . will also havo a very small
bridge on Monday afternoon at her home,
2121 Porter street. This, too, 'is the first
of a series of email parties that Mrs. Den
nlg has planned for the winter.
Mrs. Raymond S. Kcyes, wlf of Com
mander Key ph. t:. S. N., will give her second
party on Tuesday afternoon at her home.
2101 Rhunk street. Like her first party,
this will be strlrtly Informal and limited to
three or four tables.
A recent arrival In the naval colony In
Glrard Farms Is Mrs. Theodore Hugh Win
tors, wife of Lieutenant Winters. U. S. N.,
who' has taken the houso formerly occupied
by Mrs. Allen at 2501 South Garnet street.
Mrs. Winters has many friends in Philadel
phia, as she spent several winters here two
or threo years ngo. Sha has been living
in Norfolk recently.
Several of tho naval set havo been asked
to Join the attractive chnrlty bridge clubs
that Mrs. Rowland Vletch. of Hamilton
Court, and Mrs Thomas Lukens, of South
Forty-third street, are planning. These twt.
very energetic Red Cross workers thought It
mlrht be n llttlo diversion from the constant
rodtlne of Red Cross work tu nrganlze two
clubs of about sixteen members to meet on
alternate Wednesdays, each member paying
twenty-five cents at each game, the pro
ceeds of which are to bo turned cver to the
Red Cross fund. This seems like a very
pleasant arrangement, as each member has
tho satisfaction of realizing that her very
enjoyable afternoon was turned tu more
than the usual "good account."

I
une, of the most "interesting blu of ww?
work accomplished downtown Is being dan x
by the welfare committee of Tabor rresby
terlan Church, at the corner of Klghteti
and Christian etreots. This particular
church has pent twenty-eight men to th
national service, five of whom ore already
In Frnnce, and any one who is familiar
with the pastor of the church, tho rtev. Dr.
Willis n. Sklllman. will not be surprised ,
nt the great amount of work being done for
these twenty-eight For Thanksgiving tho
flvn boys who have already "gone over"
will receive a splendid roasted turkey, with
all the "trlmmln's," mlnca pie. cranberry
r.auce, nuts, etc., while the other twenty
three In all wctlons of the country will re
ceive a bra of "goodies," not quite so elab
orate ns that of the brothers overseas, but
every bit as good. Then, too, each soldier
has received a complete knitted outfit This
Included n sweater, homlet. wristlets, socks,
mufflers and pillow. In addition to this,
they havo each received a leather-bound
Tostnment and pictures of their class and
teachers to keep nllva the local church
spirit, and last, but not least, caoh ono has
a correspondent in the parish, who writes
weakly to his particular charge, and. need
less to ray, contributes much to his gen
eral contentment. The whole welfare schema
Is splendidly organlxed. Doctor Sklllman
has been pnstor of the Tabor Church for
moro than thirty-six years, and has seen

little scctlcn, dovclop as few ministers down
