R.'s Philadelphia Chapter Has Large Red CrossAuxii- iary Juniors of Saturday Club to Entertain DON'T you wonder wliat on earth they uro eolne to do nbout tho opera here? There's tho lieatlcrH night on TuesdayF, you know, for theatres nnd opera house, Rnd bo tlio performances havo all been In definitely postponed until some decision la made. It docs Mem aa If. perhaps, tho "cloBcd" command might bo lifted for opera, tlnce coal la only burned In tho opera houso onco a wcclt, and tho performances tako placo In New York every day but Tues day. It Is to wnlt. und meantime I won der If nil thoso who vvcro Invited to attend "Travlatu." which had been scheduled for Tuesday night licfo rnd had to bo put off, will bo expected for tho next pcrformanco given, and If there won't bo a terrlllc mix up when tho dates are finally settled. Of course, when tho hcatlcss Mondays uro passed things will probably bo as beforo say tome. I wonder. Is nnylhlng In this world as It was beforo blnce this IiQrrlblo war started? milL' Philadelphia Chapter of the DaUKli--- ters of tho American Revolution Aux iliary of tho American lied Cross Is doing lnter6stlng work. Tho chapter, of which Mrs. Charles Nevln is regent, Is located at 1126 Sprueo street, and tho rooms there arc given oer entirely to Ued Cross work, all meetings of tho chapter being held clso wherc. Dining tho last week they have been having n drive, In which they tried to ex ceed all tho previous work they havo done, and from tho report It seems us It they must havo succeeded pretty well, for they havo turned out HOO 2,i by 2U wipes (hao jou over dono them, oh, gcntlo reader, I .ask you; havo you7); 300 4 by 4 wipes, 300 4 by S compresses, 200 8 by 12 cotton pads, 200 12 by 24 cotton pads, 60 16 by 24 paper back pads and numerous other dressings. In making all these, moro than 100 pounds of gauze and 100 pounds of absorbent cot ton havo been used. QrEAKING of tho Itcd Cross work, havo J you seen tho beautiful work tho stock ing machines do? They make up almost a wholo stocking in about fifteen minutes, and then you catch up tho stitches on four steel needles and finish tho toes and heels by hand. It saves Immeasurable time, and is just as well done as when all Is by hand; In fact, thoso I havo seen show no mark where tho handwork is taken up after tho machine has finished its part. It is cer tainly worth while ha Ing one. Tho Women Writers' Auxiliary, which has rooms In the Itocord Dulldlng, you know, has gottcn,one, and It's awfully Interesting. rpo GU back to tho Daughters of tho -- American ltovolutlon; they liavo plan ned to tako one week In every month for a drlo nnd intend to work steadily on overy day In that week. Mrs. Samuel Kerr is chairman of tho auxiliary and Miss Dob bins Is treasurer. A member of tho chapter, who did not wish her namo divulged, donated an am bulance and kitchen trailer to, tho Ameri can Ambulance abroad. You know, the trailers arc attached to the ambulances and can bo uecd at any tlmo to provide the wounded men with hot food. Tho authori ties havo allowed tho donation to bo placed In the division of tho American Ambulance In which young Ogden Novln, son of the chapter's regent, Is serving. ThU chapter, which claims to be tho old est in Philadelphia, Is constantly adding new members, and Is certainly ono of tho most successful In tho city. But then they aro all successful in tho way of good will and good work. More praise, to them! rpm: junior branch of tho Saturday Club - at Wayno has planned nn elaborate pro gram for tho entertainment to bo held to morrow afternoon In tho clubhouse for tho benefit of tho French war orphans about whom Miss Nina Mlel has written.
