I STOPPED In nt tho llellcvue for tea on
Tuesday nftcrnoon, nnd ou never saw
10 many motor messengers in your life as
ero nxlng their hair and pondering their
imftll noses and rushing around generally.
Katurally, ono wondered what It was all

sked what was rolnK on nnd found that

.ml erv few of us rcallzo It or know nbout
It. Tliey hao been drilling unco n week
under n sergeant from tho mnrlno corps
and now General Piersol Is giving them n
litter drill, as vhen tho time comes for
the wounded to nrrlvo In this counfry these
nomcn will run their ambulances and carry
the men to tho base hospitals designated.
It's a well sybtematlzcd, splendid work, and
ntlrcly Independent of all It to-operates
with. And It co-operates with every known
aaoclatlon under tho sun nnd has direct
communication with Washington, llellevo
me, those women nro working!
DID you know that n numbti of girls
from town nnd tho Mnln Lino hae
formed a class together and mo Mudylng
nursing at Oynecean Hospital, nt 217 North
Klghteenth street. They havo taken tho
work up in dead earnest and go thero four
dajs a week. Among them nro Sarah Pen
rose, Prances Hulllan, Margaret nnd Han
nah Wright un-i Clyde lirodhe.id. It seems
to mo a very sensible thing to do, for if tho
war does not end soon thcio will bo great,
and moro than great, need of nurses and
assistant nurses In this country ns well as
In England nnd I'rnncu.
MrnilU country's call has been heard and
answered In this house." That I. tho
message tho Service I"lag tells us ns it
bravely flaunts its htars from ncnily every
window; and every wife and mother feels
a thrill of prido as she counts her own
particular Mais. I'vcn tho children havo
ltarncd Its meaning, nnd, us Is their way,
compare notes.
Mttlo Cynthia looked with pildo at tho
blue (tar that hung In their window;, for
While she fched a few aulet tears when sho
remcmbeied tho day UIg llrother had sailed
away to help tho poor French people, sho
was proudf him ns only a llttlo sister can
be proud. Uo was her hero, and therefore
It was hard to have only n star to show,
when Mary, who lived accoss tho street,
had a tall brother who wore spurs and had
a sword and who wasn't bo far away that
he couldn't sp iro n few hours to rome and
ee his family.
13ut Cjnthla was a brao little thing.
Whllo sho did not understand It nt all, sho
was silent, and icvcienced her bluo star
all to herself. And then, oh, then, or,,
morning sho awoke to llnd a bluo star In
Marj's window two. And thcro was Marj's
big brother looking particulate hero-liko.
In her small mind this was not fair, and
to a child unfairness Is the last straw.
She knew what she would do now! Tak
ing a sheet of paper and a pencil sho seated
herself at a low table and began to wrlto
carefully nnd painstakingly, ns well ns
painfully, her llttlo face Hushed and her
amall hand trembling.
"Dear Mr. Wilson My HIg P.rothcr has

Millie her Big Brother was already safe In

UNIQUE DECORATIONS
AT PRETTY DINNER
Tabic Arranged to Represent
Western Valley, With Desert,
Hills and Railroads
An InteM-sllng entertainment given recently
In California was tho "cainoufluga" dinner
given hi honor of Miss Jean Miller, of San
Diego, and Captain Lapham Loomls Brun
dred, V. S. A., a tow nights before their
mart lage.
Boughs of trees to slmulato thn out-of-doors
lined tho walls, overhead was sus
pended a huge airplane formed of crimson
roses nnd foliage, and about tho room wero
great baskets and vases of pink rosebuds
and ferns.
From this room a. "fiist lino trench" led
Into tho fortifications. Tho cntlro room was
tiunsformcd Into a wooded valley with n
gigantic fort made of canvas and covered
with branches of euealjptus and other foll
fiK. tiny electric lights showing through tho
leaves to slmulato tho lights of the foit. As
tho honor guests passed thiough, a gun
salute was tired, and from somewhere in
ho follago that lined tho walls an orchestra
played "Over There."
The tablo Itself was a mlnlatuie valley,
vlth desert hills and outlying mountains all
Perfectly carried out In every detail. At
ono end was represented Balboa Park en
campment, whero tho oung ofllcer was sta
tioned, and the other Brundiedvlllc, which
was christened "Somo Cltv Somewhere In
America." In tho center of the plain rose
tho Boeky Mountains. DruiidrcdvUlo on
ono side and California on the other, the
ormer In tho heart of tho desert, and Cali
fornia shining with all her wealth of fruit'
and (lowers. A tiny trnln, presumably bear
ing the bridal couple, tan on steel tracks
"11 around tho circle from California to
Brundredvllle The tracks were bordered
with pink rosebuds and foliage, slender tele
graph poles carried messages of congratu
lation throughout the dinner, and tiny electric
h s along tho way lighted tho "road to
happiness." Tho Idea was very novel and
surely most attractive.
Not all of tho lngenuilv of tho occasion,
however, was expended In the decoiatlon
the menu was a continuous tourco of merri
ment from tho llrtt courso to tho last. The
soup was found hidden beneath tin cans Just
when itll of tho guests wero reaching the
conclusion that that part of tho menu had
been omitted. Butter pats wero successfully
concealed beneath Iminenko greon bell uep
pera. lettuce heads, that looked nothing but
lettuce, concealed crab legs : salted almonds
were found In walnut shells ; olives wero
apparently growing In the heart of a to
mato; tenderloin ot beef was served In
crab shells, nnd sherbet made Its appear-
ca In rosy apples. Cabbage leaves that,
suggested their accompaniment of corned
beef wero In reality found to be merely tho
"camoufiago" for mallard duck. Celery
salad was served In carrot shells and Ico
cream In orange shells, while a banana, per
fect from the outside, was found to bo
merely a container for bread rolls. Other
bread rollM that seemed perfect examples of
thobo mother used to mako wero found to
'bo filled with tiny cakes, and black coffee
vi as served In cocoanut shells. The evening's
entertainment was copcluded'by dancing.

PHILADELPHIA POET
CHARMS SOUTHERNERS
Miss Margaret Widdemer Speaks
to Meeting in Nashville, Tenn.,
During Tour of South
riilladelphlans who Knew Mlri Malg.uet
Widdemer nro alw.tvs Interested to bee bet
poems In the various magazine j and papers
In which they appear. Mis Wlddonrr lived
nt ono time In West Philadelphia, and al
though sho now lives In New York she has
many friends In this city who nro proud of
her success. Becently she spoko at n meet
ing in Nashville, Tenn, and gained many
new friends at tho tea which was given tho
day beforo tho meeting. A Nashvlllo paper
has tho following account of the affair:
"Previous to Miss Margaret Wlddemer's
apearanco at tho Centennial l iuh a limited
number of Nashvlllo people vim aro espe
cially Interested In things literary were in
vited to meet socially this distinguished mem
ber of tho Toetry Soclctv of America by Mrs.
John II. Jteeves, chairman of tho llteiary
department of tho club, nnd Ml( Wlddemer's
hostess for her stny In tho cltv. Tho ac
quaintance which Mrs Itcevcs's ton. gavo to
her guests with Miss Widdemer was a de
lightful prologue to an Interesting following
Ono fjrmed the most delightful Impression of
her. Sho is very ehnnnlBg In appearance
nnd converbatlon A refreshing sense of
humor was quickly noted Bearing nut this
fact was tho Instance of ono of the guests
relating nn appropriately humorous stnrs,
which had moro or less a local kIkiiIIIciiro.
Tho ready and slncero merriment In Miss
Wlddemer's roponslvo laugh and thn telling
of a companion story told the tain of her
natlvo appreciation of humor. Her chnrac
ttrlstlo pel feet naturalnes which marks her
writings was qulto predominant In her per
sonality, and sho spoke of her writings, am
bitions and purpose with a formal modesty
and Interest that Indicated this personality.
It was suggested to Mlsj Widdemer that one
was rather Impressed with tho fact that sho
was more interested In hr poetic endeivora
than her prose. 'I suppose I am,' she re
plied. 'I believe I put more of my phllsosophy
Into my poetry than I do In my prose. My"
novels, though, partake of tho nature of a
story that I mself like tn read. My poetry
Is, howover, my natural pelf, for It Is almost
entirely tho product of my subconscious
mind.
"Insphod by nn ardent principle or a de
slro to know further tho poet's belief In
woman, one caller asked her her suffrage
views. She quickly replied, 'Vhy, 1 would
bo surprised to know that there Is uny ono
who does not believe in the equal suffrage
principles. It seems to mo that It Is nn ac
cepted question that suffrage Is right; thai
all would believe l It. 1mt as ono would
havo a religion Coming direct from New
York, her home, It was an Interesting leply
to thoxn who ailvocato tho suffrage c lusn to
hear Miss Widdemer answer tho question,
'How do the women In New York feel after
the suffrage vletory?" 'Why, wo wulk with
our heads up, bo to speak, and feel Uko an
individual."
After leaving Nashville Miss Widdemer
went on to Pulaski nnd Memphis, whern sho
will speak to several women's club
