Nancy Wynne Talks About Many Things IfTUIU mitcli-loolcd-forward-to conceit for ' tho benefit of tlio Settlement Music School will take place tonlRht In the ball, room of the IJellevuc-Stratford, and Judging from the artists who will give f their time and talent to this affair It will be a delightful evening. You know, It wiw to take place In De cember, but owlnff to tho Illness of Osslp Gabrllowltsch It was postponed until Jan. nary .1, which, jou will no doubt admit, Is this very cvenliiK. Tho Settlement Music School Is well worth fneouruftement. It was established gome j cars hko with tho Idea of maklnc tho study of music, and "Rood" music at that, avaltablo for those who could not afford to nttend tho more expensive con servatories, and some very good artists have had their start In this way. Among those who will play tonight at tho Bcllcvue-Stratford for this worthy cause ate Clara Clemens, Olga Samarorf, Osslp Ciabrltowltsch, Thaddeus lllch and Hans Klndlcr, nnd Mr. Stokovvskl will speak. It seems we have a treat In stole If we will only take advantago of It nnd njoy this music, at .tho same time helping along a good work of Importance. wt MICHAEL KIIRET was married yesterday In St. James's Church at Twenty-second and Walnut streets, to Mr. 1'rcdcrlck Baldwin, of New York. That's the second wedding in a week to take place between lather older people, so to speak. Mrs. I.eland Harrison and Mr. Trank Tat. terson were married Inst Saturday, you know. Tho Pattersons will live in Mr. Tat. terson's house, at 2200 St. James place, and I hear that Mr. and Mis. Baldwin will live at 2200 Walnut street. WASN'T It too bad about Mrs. Ronald Barlow's accident? Every one was skating out at Merlon on New Year's afternoon, and it certainly was n glorious day to be there, wasn't it? Well, Mrs. Bar low Is as good a skater as she Is a golfer (and that's" going some, you must admit) and she looked particularly stunning In a black velvet costume nnd little black "til cornc" tilmmed with fur pompoms. Kery ono had been watching her exhibition of skating with envy, when suddenly home thing tripped her nnd she went down with a terrific whack and really It seemed as If the next moment ever body on that lnko wns trying to get Into that tiny hut on the bank at the same identical moment to seo If they could help. Of couise, they were all pietty much scared, for she looked so vUilto lying there on the floor, and I heard two "first-alders" struggling to remember tho difference be tween a bioken or a sprained or a strained ankle. 1'lnally some ona did get her up to one of the motors on the hill, and I "was very glad to see them stait for home. I do hope the accident will prove to be less serious than It at first seemed. IT'S awfully hard when you're a very oung war brldo to remember to he ready for any emergency when you nie giving your grocery order. So, It's awfully fortunato for a certain chaimlng Philadcl phlan, who only giaduated from school a few years ago, that her neighbor in the apartment house Is jutt us young nnd In experienced as she, and that they are both "doing without" maids. One Sunday ufter noon not long ago some friends dropped In unexpectedly for tea. Hushing out to her maldless kitchen, the young matron hur lledly arranged somo delicious llttlo cakes on a wcddlng:prcscnt plate, and somo 'wedding-present teacups on an engagement present teatray, and picked up a five and-tcn-ccnt-store knlfo to slice homo lemons. But there were no lemons, and tho store was closed, nnd there was only ono thing to do so she did it. And Friend Neighbor was "Why, my dear, perfectly delighted to bo able to do it." So that was all right, and the tea was delicious. A few evenings later a hurried knock at tho back door preceded a plea for "somo kind, any kind of cunncd stuff," because tho candled sweet potatoes got burned, nnd there were people for dinner and only ono vegetable, with dlstrcs- in every tone, tho llttlo housekeeper admitted that ho had nothing In a can except a clean ing powder. Then, Just as tho door closed, she called, "Oh, wait a minute!" and a hopeful face appeared again around tho edge of tho door. "Won't you Just let me hand you a lemon, now? I forgot all about it tilt Just this minute." And then as It struck them both at tho samo moment, they flood and locked together on tho back porch, and, laughed and laughed, while their respective) dinners burned and burned! NANCY WYNNE.

We. cannot tell what the French nr saying, but It Is great to hear them. It certainly wns a sight the way we were received by the French peo ple. You could hear them a mile vway run ning down the street to meet us, and they sure did greet us. They even spread flowers when we were 1 larchlng and when the French band played tho "Star Spangled Banner" each one of us was glien a flower The weather Is cold, but vve have good clothes and plenty of gloves.
