Constanco Collier, who Is no v playing in
"Peter Ibbetson." Tho tea will bo held
.from 4 until 5:30 o'clock on Friday after
noon. Won't it bo interesting to meet her?
DID you happen to bo lunching nt tho
Green Dragon Tea Iloom on Saturday
between tho hours of one and threo? If so,
Lyou must have been awaro of tho fact that
tho girls of Camp Iroquois, under tho
chaperonago of Dr. Ann Tomklns Gibson,
director of- tho camp, and threo of last
years counselors were there, having n re
union. Not that they were noisy ut till,
for has not Camp Iroquois gained tho repu
tation if being nn unusually well-mannered
carnp7 But then, of course, this is only
natural, comprising as it does, u mot-t at
tractive lot of girls, ranging from eight to
eighteen years, from all along tho Main
2ne, Germantown and Chestnut Hill. And
this doesn't mean, cither, that they nro
mado to sit up liko perfect llttlo ladles all
the time, with knitting qulto tho opposite.
Tho entiro aim of tho camp Is to glvo tho
girls, a healthy, happy summer, by encour
aging all kinds of 'athletics, particularly
walking, and tho success of their cffortH
was certainly proved by tho way In which
the older girls climbed to 'tho top of Mount
"Washington last year. Illght hero I might
add, for tho benefit of fhoso whoso mem
ories concerning certain geographical de
tails may bo somewhat rusty that tho
height of said mountain Is C500 feet. Be
sides this they wcro taught swimming,
paddling and all water sports under tho In
struction of Betty Dallas (head counselor)
and Isabel GIttlngs, whllo Mary Tyler had
chargo of tho basketball, tennis, archery
and baseball. Tho last week that' wcro
thero they gave a play and operetta, under
the supervision of Betty Delias, stage
manager, and Dorothy Dlnsmorc, musical
counselor, and their attempts, both vocally
and histrionically, wcro most successful.
For tho reunion they engaged a. private
room upstairs In tho tea room, and pos
elbly ycu heard fragments of camp bongs
that may liavo floated to tho main dining
room downstairs. After luncheon they saw
movie. ,
A few of. tho girls who couldn't get thero
on account of tho weather, or provlous eiv
gagements, wero so Ulsarrolntod that
Pimo'ther reunion was planned for next Fob-
juarj, and later on toward spring a large
affair wIILJjo' given to which not only
Itho old flBrls but tha new ones' who 'tiro
coming to camp next year, as well, will bo
Invited and Initiated into tho joys of a
Camp Iroquois life on Lako Wlnnepc

toy Robinson, of Swarthmore Collegf, gave a
very Instructive and Interesting talk on food
conservation. He spoko of the' food situation
as brought about by tho submarine warfare;
the shortage of sugar, both cano nnd beet,
which had formerly been raised hi Germany,
Austria, Russia nnd Italy and Is confined now
to tho Weit Indies and the United States, and
wheat, which Is raised In Canada, Rumania,
Russia and tho British Indies, the Argentino
and Australia; and meat from tho United
States, Argentina and Austrnlla; and tho
good butter which wo have got from Den
mark and Germany. And he explained what
has puzzled some of us why we are bending
our wheat abroad and not corn, becauto of
the people of Europe tho Italians aro the
only ones who eat It, becauso It Is only good
when eaten hot, nnd principally becauso It
docs not keep In going through warm coun
tries as wheat Hour will. And ho mentioned
tho fact that we aro not nsked to llvo more
cheaply, but more carefully; that wo should
try to mak a shift In our diet In order that
wo may give to our allies the things that aro
least perishable; In short, to put It Inele
gantly, "Do not stuff your husband, but hus
band your stuff I" Miss Mallaby, of tho fac
ulty of Bccchvvood School, also gavo two
readings.
There will be an evening meeting tonight,
