JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Women's League for Good Government Held
Luncheon at Art Alliance Building Yesterday.
Tommy Wonders About Engagements
and Marriages
THE New Art Alllanco Building offered
a novelty yesterday In the shape of a
voters' luncheon In aid of tho Town Meet
Ins party, which Mrs. Yorko Stevenson
had arranged- At 1 o'clock a couplo of
hundred well-known men and women met
there to lunch together and listen to
speeches, political and other-Wise, from
Thomas F. Armstrong, Thomas P. Mc
Mahon, both of tho Town Meeting party
ticket; Somerset Bryan Scott, Mrs. Cor
nelius Stovenson and Miss Agnes Rop
pller. Quite a galaxy nntl a most unusual
combination of attractions to offer.
Doesn't It Just show that good national
citizenship means good local citizenship
when two women who havo been spending
themselves as Miss Reppller and Mrs.
Cornelius Stevenson have been doing In
their nation's service feel the call to
help mako their city a safo placo to llvo
In? This luncheon Is tho last sccno In
the very lively and successful campaign
which tho Women's League for Good
Government has been waging In support
of the Town Meeting party. For the last
two weeks Mrs. Samuel Bryan Scott, Miss
Florcnco Kane and her sister, Mrs,
Foulke; Miss Elizabeth Klrkbrlde, Miss
Sophia Dulles, Miss Mary Converse, Mrs.
C. Watson McKeehan, Mrs. Arthur Lea,
Mrs, John Oakley and a host of other
well-known civlc-splrlted women have
been slaving for the league. To tho
luncheon each woman Invited was al
lowed to bring one Town Meetlnc party
oter this meant a hunt for registered
toters, and so many men had not regls
tired that It certainly was soirie hunting
to" find acceptable escorts who were.
AFTER tho Theatro Meeting held by
. tho Leaguo last Tuesday, In which
the Close connection between corrupt city
governments and tho servlco to the sol
dier" and sailor boys In tho national
tmps was so stirringly brought out, a
letter arrived from a Philadelphia boy
Tho Is fighting In France, a brother of
one of tho actlvo campaign workers. The
following paragraph was so extraordi
narily apropos to our local politics that
the league has printed and distributed It
by the thousand. Llston to'lt:-
"George wanted to know what could be
done to help out 'over here.' I will write
and tell of anything I see; but one thing
Is sure that there Is no fun In fighting
to save democracy for a lot of grafting
politicians, and nothing would put more
'pep' Into me than to know that tho peo
ple at home wero awake to their civic
responsibilities. While I believe that
eventually wo will win out, we have a
hard job on our hands and graft is as
much of a foe as autocracy."
TOMMY'S Bister is engaged, and tho
best thing tho family docs Is talk about
engaged people, engagements and en
gagement presents. Vaguely, Tommy
realizes that -getting married has some
thing to do with being engaged, although
the exact connection Is decidedly a thln
that means nothing In his young life.
The other day he was sitting on father's
lap, trying not to speak until spoken to,
and sister and uomo of her friends were
In the room. Ono of them spoke of an
engagement that had Just been an-,
nounced. That was something In his
line, so Tom pricked up his ears. "I
never," continued tho fair gosslper, "I
never saw two people so different; vhy,
you'd never in tho vorld think that slie'd
marry Mm." This was something new.
"Father," exclaimed Tommy, forgetting
to keep his volco down, "when people get
tnarrled do they choose the ono they
want?"
APTTIMES, It's tho llttlo things that
count a whole lot, Isn't It? And tho
Uee people who sometimes do these little
Chlngs well, even they, with all their
childish pride In tho doing, don't realize
the good that may come from them.
Now, one day last week a small young
irr from nobody knows where walked Into
the headquarters of the Overseas Com
tolttee of the Emergency Aid (that must
have been an awf ly big name for him
'to read, don't you s'pose?) and, in a most
Business-like voice, asked a rather amused
Hdy in charge:
"Is this where you send things 'to sol
Jers?" "Yes," was the reply.
"Well, can you buy things hero for
soljersj too?" continued our diminutive
friend. And he proceeded to hurl ques
tions thusly at the astonished Miss
until he must have accumulated a vast
amount of Information about his soljers.
Then, gravely, though with much fum
bling and pulling tho wrong thing out, he
drew from his pocket a small almond bar
and handed It to the no longer amused
young lady. a
"There," very earnestly, "could you
send this to the soljers?" And then ho
hurried out. But think o? that weo kiddle
denying himself precious bites of choco
late so that some one elso might have
them and bo able to fight betterl It's a
fine spirit, Isn't It?

downo Red Crossers are to have on Friday
and Saturday, is not going to be held at the
Red Cross house, as had been planned
Thero Is such a -iery urgent need for sur
ttlcal dressings at present that It was felt
that the women who are busy making theso
all the time should not be deprived of their
workrooms, If only for a few days, So tho
affair will bo held on the second floor of
the Barker Building, which Is right In the
center of tho town. The largo hall will be
converted Into an Indian warpath and In
various smaller rooms will be the different
booths.
Miss Emily Grace will havo charge of
tho war garden room. This summer Miss
Grace had a larco eardon of her own, and
she has canned a great many ot tho vege
tables that were raised In It. These will all
bo for sale, besides numerous tumblers of
very good Jelly.
There will be a utility room with ngato
pots and pans (or tin ones. If you prefer
them), aprons, dust caps that aro really
becoming and other useful things. Mrs..
Loe will havo charge of these things. One
corner of the warpath will bo taken up by
a little frontier store with everything for
sale there that could be Imagined from
gingham to vegetables. Mrs. Garrctson
Cook will be the "storekeeper."
Now. there must bo a cake and candy
table at a fair, but with sugar playing hide I
and seek how can there be ono? And es
pecially If said fair Is glen for the Red
Cross. However, tho women thought! and
thought and at last decided to mako heaps
of candy, but, Instead of sugar, molasses
and honey will be chiefly used Mrs. John
flolenbereer Is studying up all sorts of de
licious new recipes, so the candy Is sure to
be the best ever. And, then, Mrs Daniel
De Vaux, who has charge of the table of
pies and cakes, will make most of the
latter out of cornmeal and oatmeal. It Is
remarkable what patriotism can accomplish,
Mrs. Mercer Bailey will have charge of

At a recent meeting In Germantown the
speaker referred to the many places of In
terest In Germantown nnd the Falls ot
Schuylkill and remarked that, "while many
persons were acquainted with tho early his
tory of the Falls and tho prominent men
who had at one time lived In the village,
yet few can tell anything about tho man In
whose honor the only public echool In the
village Is named. Samuel Breck." The Falls
has especial reason for attracting the at
tention of the friends of education. It was
hero that the first provost of the University
of Pennsylvanli nnd the first Governor of
Pennsylvania under the Constitution, who
was by virtue of office the first president
of the board of trustees of the same great
'nstltutlon, lived on largo estates. It was
here that Joseph Neef Introduced the
methods of Pestalozzl Into this country. So
why call tho school Samuel Breck Instead
of William Smith, Thomas Mlftlln or Joseph
Neef?
Samuel Breck, a Senator of our State,
labored for free schools In Pennsylvania and
was made chairman of tho Joint committee
on education of the two houses, and was
spci'Iallj appointed "for the purpose of di
gesting 0" general system of education." He
went lo the Legislature for the purpose of
using his best efforts to secure the establish
ment ot a system of common schools In
the State Tho general school bill. Intro
duced by him. passed the House of Repre
sentatives and the Senate In 1834.
Samuel Breck's father bought a home In
Philadelphia opposite Washington's and
brought his family hero from Boston, Mass. ;
so Samuel lived In "great pomp and cere
mony after manner of the rich men of his
day." Later he occupied an estate In Fair
mount Park called Sweet Brier It was
here thai he entertained Washington, La
fayette. Robert Morris and other distin
guished men of his time He was born In
1771 anu lived almost a century through
tho most eventful period of American his
