?:" W'P XM t EVENING mix -,." : JUSf GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE ' MEMBERS OF PENN CHARTER LITERARY SOCIETY LUNCHEON MLLOWEtf 'Armenian Benefit Meeting at Scottish Rite Hall. Bazaar at Suffrage Headquarters During the Week Red Cross News THERE: ore ciulte a few things dolnj; to night, and there were yostrt1r.y, too, for that matter. There's to be the big meet In? for the Armenians this cvonlnir at Scottish .Illto Halt and the I'cnn Charter play at the Beltevuc-Strntfor.l. And then last night there was the big rally of the National League for Women's Service at the Academy of Music nml there wns the Junior League luncheon at tho Acorn Club. at which Mr. Krancls Hnckett, of the New Republic, talked on the "Oppressed Kng Hah." Altogether, It's been almost as busy a week as If one had had a ball to gn to vary night Instead of some Interesting talk or bit of music. DID It ever occur to you what a learned generation ours will be, especially now that we have cut down so much on dances and other ways of entertaining? We learn something new every day nnd hear the old things dressed up In new clothes, and wo hear one man's theo'rles and another man's proved stories, and now and again In be tween wo hear some woman who has u message for us, until we nil will be so full of knowledge I hope we won't burst. DID you know they arc having a sale all day and well, no, not all night, but part of the evening at the suffrage headquarters, 1721 Chestnut street? I think they speak of It as a bag sale, but goodness knows they have about every thing else but tho kitchen stove, bo far ns I can see. It opened on Wednesday and will keep up until tomorrow evening. They have clothes, pictures. Jewelry, books, an tiques, old silver, afternoon tea and all the other things which go to make up a suc cessful sale. It's worth going to, really, and It's under Dr. E. M. Hlestand Moore, who Is chairman of the Ambulance Aid of the Woman Suffrage party. Mrs. George Dunning, you know, Is gen eral chairman of the Woman Suffrage party and she Is Interested in the bazaar, as are a number of other women who go regularly to tho Chestnut street head quarters. AT THE Armenian meeting tonight at XI Scottish Kite Hall the committee of men and the women's committee of tho Emergency Aid will both be represented. Bishop Tlhlnelander will mnko the opening address he Is the head of the men. you know and Mrs. George Horace Lorlmer will tell something of her committee's work. There will be music and the Honor able A. J. I.ClkiiH, American Ambassador to Constantinople, will speak. AMONG the auxiliaries looking forward most eagerly to the lied Cross drive for membership the week of December 17 Is Auxiliary No. 324, which meets every Friday afternoon In the parish house of the Chapel of tho Holy CoTimunlon, at Twenty-seventh and Wharton streets, from 1 to 5 o'clock. Tho auxiliary started last July as Group No. 2 of Auxiliary No. 47, but grew so rapidly that two weeks ago It became a separate unit. Out of a membership of sixty there Is nn average attendance of forty-Aye, ,who already have made and sent in forty-two shoulder capes, seventeen pairs qfbed socks, fifteen pairs of pajamas, twenty-six hospital shirts and 159 towels, while they have knit Ave sweaters, nine pairs of socks, Ave pairs of wristlets and nine trench washcloths. Plans are being made to have various speakers during the winter who will tell of their experiences In Red Cross work. This afternoon Mrs. Walter Fox will tell 'of her work at the Hopltal Jardln Colo nial, near Paris. Mrs. Frank Williamson, of 2302 Spruce street, Is chairman of the auxiliary, and Mrs. Thomas Harvey Is chairman of the new membership committee. AND two more engagements to be talked .about! Did you 'ever know anything like the number of them these days? Mar garet Burton and Cowan Bain and Mar Jorle Wlllcox and Alberto Santa Maria. They are very nice ones, too. I am sure you'll agree with me on this matter. Margaret Burton is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Burton, you know. Her mother was Margaret Handy, a very popu lar belle In her debutante years. Cowan Bain is a son of the late Frederick Bain, a well-known broker, who married Miss Charlotte Mock, of Salisbury, N. C. Mrs. Bain lives at 221 I'lne street with her daughter Charlotte. Cowan Is In the avia tion corps of the United States army nnd Is stationed at Princeton. Marjorle Wlllcox is the daughter of Mr. ,and Mrs. James Wlllcox, bf Wawa, and a sister of Mark WJIlcox, who married Mar garet Keating about ten years ago. Her fiance, Alberto Santa Maria, ca:.ie here from Cuba to attend college and later en gaged In the automobile business with Bruder Diddle. Several months ago he Joined the Imperial Royal Flying Corps and has been commissioned a lieutenant. His mother was -Miss Ma'rle Lalne, a sister of Dr. Dama Lalne, her mother having been a Miss Oaresche. It Is an odd thing ,that through the Gareschetf the Lalno and the Keating family are related, Mrs. .Santa Maria being a cousin of Mrs. Mason Lisle, who was Miss Mary Keating. The Santa Marias now live at Ardmore. There Is no talk yet of a marriage late In either engagement, but 'ho can tell these days7 IT WAS a dismal, rainy afternoon, and Mrs. S had nothing to do; but that ras only part of the trouble. The real ache was caused by the fact that she had no word from Bob the apple of her eye for whom she bravely flaunted a service flag since he had left her several weeks before. She had been very proud of him In his uniform and had thrilled at the news of hli promotion at camp; but now tho un certainty of his whereabouts was driving her wild. And bo on that rainy afternoon ahe picked up her knitting and started for a motion-picture show In the hope of a little diversion. ' The pictures were good and a little fat man In one of them had done much to help Mrs. 8 ou,t of the blues, for she even .found herself chuckllngsa little; but the araedy ended and Pathe News was flashed '' the oren. Thiawaa generally Interest- pHf, iMit toiaym waa war, war, var. and "American troops In England reviewed by King George," rend the headlines. Yes. there they were: all those nice big American boys. Hut who was that? It couldn't be? Hut It wasl ' "Hob!" said Mrs. 8 out loud, much" to the amazement of the gentleman In tho next seat. "Oh. It Is!" The picture faded, but Mrs. 8 sat there filled with conflicting emotions. Joy that she knew at Inst where he was; fear be cause he wns so far away, nnd pride, for was ho hot representing AmoMca to the King of England? NANCY WYNNE.
