"Tf7" S fipTvnrjiii' " r, EVENING PUBLIC LEDGERPHILAI)ELPHIA, MONDAY, HAROH 31, 19i8 I i if it JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE Nancy Wynne Talks About a Number of Things , That Are Happening in Society The Wee Bird Has a Rumor Xo Tell CnllTAlXLY Hie Chestnut Hilt branch of tlio National I.caRUo for "Woman's Service, Is a Hvo one, Isn't It? Do you know wliat a group of women associated there) haa decided to do? Well, they havo formed a farm unit, and they will on April 1 (but H'b not nn April Fool story, believe me) leave their knitting nnd stir jlcal dressings and, shouldering rakci nnd hoes, march forth to malto war upon the potato bug al tho weed. Don't think for u mlnuto that tho knit ting and purglcnl dressings will bo neg lected on this account; no. Indeed; there txt plenty of others, who go to tho servlco house to keep that going strong. This new unit which will do farm work Is headed by Mrs. Norton Downs and the iromen on her committee nro Miss Wool ton, Miss Krnfstlno Onodman, Mrs. Aicob Dlsston, Mr.-?. Thomas Dixon nnd Mrs. Mar jhall Morgan. Itecrults aio enlisting dally through tho Council of National Defense, ind It Is expected that ut least fifty women fill Join In. Mr. Jacob Dlsston has con tributed a large portion of ground for the jardenlng. There's a cettaln good common Konf.0 tbout this work besides the patriotic aspect of It. It's awfully healthy, you know, to work out In tho open, and IC tho uniform chosen Is not becoming I'm not a good guesicr. I'm only afraid tho farinors In tiearby lands will forsake their work to vatch the farnicresiis decked out In brown smocks, brown bloomers, legglngH and big ahads 1 ats. You know that will be fetch In;. fjrent things will be eM'Coted from tho n omen's farm unit uud Chzstnut Hill is loyally mppartlng tho undertaking. ISUl'POSn, of courhp, If you had uny thlng to send to that queer "Clefoojet" at 1021 Chestnut street you have ulready done, to. I wonder who on earth found out that name. Somo one who was "high brow" enough to own a certain dictionary tihlch iound3 like u 3afcty razor. That Is, tho namo thereof does. Anyhow, I hear all tho gilst that Ins come to tho Oefoojet's mill Is not old and ivorii out, but much of It Is new, and bo handsome Is sonic that It has been decided to havo an auction each day of tho three to be given over to selling, namely, AVcd nesday, Thursday nnd Friday of this week. And who do you think they havo Invited to act as auctioneers? None 'other than members of the "Lord and Lady Algy" company, who are to arrlvo today, you know, b'o perhaps tho beautiful Maxine Klllott or Ireno Fenwlck may bo auctlon eerestcs, or wo may see William Favor sham or Maclyn Arbuckle In tho lolc. Who can tell? Anyway, It shows theso nomen who nro Interested In the sale havo good news sense, doebn't It? I am rather taken up with the things that aro to bo auctioned, for they Include an ostrich plume fan, n fur-llncd evening wrap with ii skunk collar, a set of china and a vase worth $400. Some donations! Managers of tho Visiting Nurse Society ulll run things on Wednesday, managers of tho Franklin Day Nursery will take charge Thursday and on Friday Miss Colo's Blblo class members will superintend.' I suess I'll stop in nnd see what bit of old bric-a-brac I can pick up for seventeen cents or so. rTMIEKE'S cry little of personal Interest -1- going on theso days in tho social world; few parties now nnd then, but that's about all. And In tho meantlmo many changes aro taking placo in tho camps among the ofllccrs, who are being sent to various distant assignments, nnd naturally the mothers, wives .and bisters and sweet hearts follow along. About the only girl I know of who has Sone South to ono given spot and staed there Is Jean Uullltt. You see, her brother DIeh went down to Georgia with tho Troop and then after tho Troop was, disbanded In four or Ave months' tlmo nidr went tntr kf. the ofllccrs' camp there, and to Jean and ner father, who wont to Amrustn In ririn.

He said lie had tent another man, but thnt If hn didn't KCt the Job perhaps I might. On arriving there I found the first man wns being Interviewed, and from where I was sitting I could not help ocihcnrlng all that transpired. After some preliminaries the manager said' "Hno you any references"" "Sure." replied tho young fellow, letting his hand In his pocket nnd bringing out a bunch of letters, "Aro those jour references?" quietly nslied the malinger "Ves, sir. twenty-elnht of them" 'You h,i! got a lot of references, haven't )ou? What period do they rover?" i'lvo years, and ecry one of them speaks well of me," proudly answered the young fellow.
