Nancy Wynne Tells of Entertainment Next Sunday
at Arc Alliance one unats About Various
Items of Social Interest
PmHB Ait Alliance has certainly planned
J. A vUllueu fcn-..iw.. -
for tho men In the servico mis coming oun
toy. Some concert, let mo tell you; quite
I- wninr with the Monday morning mu
ll Scales, which you will admit are always
i fine. i
Mrs. William !) ......-
8 Grove, Mr. Henry S. Drinker, Jr., and
und Mr. Ellis Clarke Hammann are in
charge ot tho afternoon, and tho program
nd tho artlsta who have consented to
,lve their services are Miss Julia Helnrtch.
formerly of tho Metropolitan Opera Com
pany. and Hans Klndlcr. Mr. Hammann
M himself accompany the artists andyrlll
do some piano solo work as well. "
These Sunday afternoon affairs have cer
tainly taken with the enlisted men, who
co for tho concert and remain for supper
.ft.rward. As I have lemarked many and
t various times, what did we ever do before
the dajs of the Art Alliance ;
SOMD doings In the Stevens Heckscher
household, aren't there? One Hopkins
jjddy has the measles and one Heckscher
child has chlckcnpox and tho remaining
Heckscher and Hopkins children are at the
home of the Heckschers' grandmother. Mis.
.. .,,, T-onmlncr. with whom tho Heels-
C gchers lived until their father's marriage
to Mrs. Hopkins. I think It was preuy
nicely arranged myself, for the honors In
cither sickness or health do not go to
either sldo of tho families but are quite
evenly divided, fortunately, the Illnesses
are not severe and so, aside from the In
convenience of being quarantined, there
has only been a good deal of Joking and
fun over It.
TTAVE sou noticed the ciovvds every
XI morning outside of the.Hummage Sale
on Chestnut street above Tenth? ny. it s
almost as much as your life's worth to get
In; but, once in, bellevo me you are glnd
jou went, for they really h.ive perfectly
wonderful things for talc, some old. some
new and all good-looking and display ed to
the very best 'advantage.
There's a crowd oft and on all day, as
they only let a few In at a time. It teems
it really Is necessary, too. because other
wise there woutd be little or no older. It's
to help the Home for Cripples and Mrs.

school teachers should not devote five hours
dally to classroom service, as tho grade

Charged with manifesting strong pro-Ger-man
sympathies, Miss Gertrude A. M. I'lgnol,
of to South Portland avenue, Brooklyn, In
structor In German at the Manual Training
High .school of Btookljn, faces probable dis
missal. A native of Berlin and a descendant of
I-rench Huguenots who adopted Germany as
their homo after being banished from France,
Jllss Plgnol has long been under the close
scrutiny of school officials as a result of her
boldly acknowledged love for Germany,
"Jtls I'lgnol Is not the person to teach
the kind of patriotism we believe In," slid
Doctor Knjder. ''and the attitude of the other
teache.-.i Is ery pronounced against her.
Three months ago I gave Miss Plgnol a leave
of absence with the hope that her war attl
tudo would change. She returned to the
school, but her Mews veto the samo as
ever.
Miss rignol Is said to have refus-ed to buy
Liberty Bonds and to have declined to urge
pupils to buy thrift stamp.. She also Is
2. . i'. llilv deil"'l that the United

"If the United States were at war with
Jle-tlco or any other country Jllss Plgnol
would be an acceptable teacher," said Doctor

intolerable.

"Given it up" those words aro the symbol
of my feeling. How can I go on? I nut
my best effort Into that first venture the
house-party. And there have been no re
suits none.
I looked at myself In the tiny glats above
my bureau. 1 reasoned thus: 'Sara Lane
ou have no baclj bone. You trv once Yoi!
fall. But Is that the way to win? If such
a little thing Is to dlscourago vou, how can
jou ever hope to go on " uut tho other
side of me said, "Why doesn t he come?"

It Is not to bo he. It shall he tome ono 'else.
Already I feel better,
I pulled the hairpins out ot mv hair I
took up mv new li.ud-brlstled 'bruli l
brushed my hair, till It and my scalp glow-d'
T bathed mself. I put on fiesh tlothes
from top to toe. Jly new ehoe, nice, dark
slender tan ones, that make m feel well
set-up. I opened lny closet The tsffeta
that I have not worn since the huuse-narlv
Fresh white gloves "
I looked at the face glowing hack at mo
from the minor. It has paid.
1 went for a long walk. I felt fresh
bouyaiu. My dear, wise little, old lads- was
my destination. Her first word, "Why Sara,
child, how pretty and joung jou look," gave
ine new courage.
I don't know how, but I shall gain my
end.
