And so It goes; when It Is not ono charity
U'b another, and wo dig Into our pockets
and purses and, Instead of begrudging It or
complaining, thank Ood that wo hao a
little Gomcthlng to help with.
NEXT Monday evening n unlriuo and In
teresting concert will bo given nt tho
League Island Navy Yard, Under the
leadership of Miss Martha Barry a chorus
of seventy women, composed of tho chorus
of tho Women's Club of Swarthmore, tho
New Century Chorus and tho chorus of
Presbyterian deaconesses, will bring much
pleasure to their sailor audlenco by their
well-chosen selections.
Assisting this largo chores will bo two
small ones mado up of tho following girls,
who will glvo a bit of frivolity to tho 'pro
gram by singing several of tho popular
song lilts. In ono group will bo Helen
Dando, Eleanor McCawlcy, Mrs. Dancn
baum, Miss Champion, Mrs. Hiram Eltason
and Miss Potter. In tho other group will
be. Dorothy Fagan, Sldnoy Lear, Gcorglana
PHfleJd, Dorothy Dlnsmoro, Helen Pltfleld,
and Margaretta Dixon. Mrs. Arthur La
Roche, Mrs. Thaw Mlllington nnd Mr. Glen
Staples will bo soloists. Mrs. Mlllington
you'll remember as Miss Elizabeth McClos
key; sho Is going to sing u numbor of
French songs.
Mr. Staples, who Is a distinguished con
cert singer from Chicago, enlisted last
spring In tho Radio School at Leaguo
.Island before completing tho course at Har
vard. His volco and singing havo great
charm and will add much to tho evening's
enjoyment.
IT'S a funny thing when jou go to tho
opera all keyed up to enjoy It, as In tho
caso of "Faust" last week, you're apt 'to got
disappointed; and when you go to ono such
as tho "Daughter of tho Heginient," you ex
pect a fairly pleasant evening and you aro
surprised to hear Hempcl In perfect volco,
Scottl a. marvel as Sulplclo, und from
Donizetti's llttlo breath of tunefulness an
almost perfect performance, for they wero
all at their best. There wcro not as many
In nttendanco last night, and it Is a funny
thing to mo that somo Americans can't
stand quiet during tho playing of ono
stanza of tho national air. All through
tho audlenco oflkcrs were standing at
salute, and In tho grand tier tho women
stood liko statues in their colorful gowns,
but In tho orchestra there were some who
had to talk the enduring time nnd remark
the officers at salute. And there was one
woman who Insisted on alnglnffi or rather
thinking sho was singing all through tho
soprano parts, thereby almost .polling
Hempel's cxqulslto work. What I think
.other! 1 ! ! !
Flo Rlvlnus was In tho 'Van nensselacr
box looking very smart with his newly
acquired stripes; the Stotesburys had an
English officer with them and a real
United States captain on crutches was In
ono of tho boxes also. Mrs. Charles Coxo
knitted Industriously nil through tho per
formance. Margot Scull Blddlo looked very
well In a pale pink frock and Frances Gamblo
had her hair arranged In tho most wonder
ful way. Sho and Eleanor both looked per
fectly stunning. Tho DeWltt Cuylers had
the Dick Elliots and Sydney Keiths in
their box. and Mrs. Craig Biddle, looking,
llko a iucen, was In tho Diesel box.
There was ono moment In tho perform
ance when the matter o( factness of a cer
tain young woman of .quality camo out to
the full, though no ono would havo suspect
ed her of such "goings on" at homo. Two
lackeys came on tho stage to light tho
chandeliers during tho last act, and the
lights refused to light. "Good night,"
whispered tho small person; "somebody for
got to put a quarter in tho slot."
WITH most of tho parties called oft this
year It was good to go to the opening
dance of tho three which aro to bo given
by Mrs. Edward Troth at tho Germantown
Cricket Club. Itcally, I don't know of any
dancing class that is moropopular than
' Mrs. Troth's, and I'm go glad sho decided
- to keep up threo meetings anyhow. It's
such a relaxation to get away for twd or
three nights In tbo year from tho sorrows
and sufferings of tho world. It makes one
more ready to help and sympathlzo after a
little recreation.
Such u crowd as thcro was on Saturday
ntghtl You never haw so many!
Uniforms to front of you, uniforms to
' left of you, uniforms to right of you and
on danced tho six hundred! It really was
qulto thrilling, and tho variety of uniforms
tended to keep them from becoming mo
notonous, If such could possibly bo the
case. Of course, tho class Is always great
.fun, but everybody seemed to bo having a
, particularly good time tho other evening,
r perhaps because It was tho first real danco
: they had -been to for omo time'.
THEY only announced their engagement
a few months ago and, of course, sho
' was collecting for her trousseau, and cen
terploccs and linen of any kind wherever
displayed were; Irresistible, so when last
Iwcek Elsie and' Fiance were walking homo

he was no longer accompanied, and, turning

'dow, twisting her head In a vain ondeavor
to follow tho courso of a Una of embroidery
on a centerpiece' Not being interested In
that. Fiance looked over the rest of, tho dls-'
