Indoor Horse Show at First City Troop Armory on
May 2, 3 and 4 Nancy Wynne Has
Other Things to Tell
Hc
row the eur does fly around I Here
comes tlio first news on tho Indoor
homo show, which la to be held tho first
week In May; that Is, on May 2, 3 and 4.
Now May seems a great way off, does It
not? But before you know It It will bo
hero and we'll bo trotting up to Twenty
third and Chestnut streets to tho .l'lrst
City Troop Armory to see tho show vvlitch
has Rrown to be an nnnual Institution.
The committee of tho Indoor show this
year Includes Mrs, Gardner Cassatt, Mrs.
WlllUm J. Clothier, Jr., Mrs. John Cooke
Hirst, Mr. John I. Holltngswortli, Mrs.
William S. New comet, Mrs. William C.
Warden, MIsh Lauru Cnrncll, Mrs. Herbert
Llncoln'-Clark, Mrs. I. W. Holllnsshead,
Mrs. Oeorgo Peterson, Miss Mao Htokes,
Mrs. Charles Codman, Mrs. Wllmcr Kru
gen, Mrs. J6hn M. Patterson, Mrs, Joseph
Rogers, Mrs! Merrill Weeks and Mrs.
Edwin H. Vare. Mrs. Walter C. Hancock
Is chairman.
Some of us wondered If It would be de
cided not to ha.o tho show this jcar on
account of tho war. Hut It was not to
wonder long, for my goodness! aren't somo
of the hospitals to bo beneficiaries and
don't the hospitals need every bit of help
they can get these days?
Gracious knows, some uro already re
ceiving our men from this sldo If not from
the other yet. For so many who have not
been used to so much outdoor exposure
have been taken very 111 from all sorts and
kinds of various causes; bo more power
to any undertaking that helps tho hos
pitals, say I.
Tho shows have always been given at
tho Third Regiment Armory, but this
3 car Judge Martin, who Is custodian of
the First City Troop building, has con
sented to turn It over to tho s,how, and
you will admit that It Is certainly far more
conveniently located than down at Broad
and Federal streets.
rt. Penn Smith will be, as heretofore,
master of tho ring. Indeed, I don't bc
llevo wo co-Id hold a show unless Mr.
Smith had something to do with It, so
indlspcn&ablo docs ho iecm on such occa
sions. I bcllevo tho committee will tell tho
beneficiaries' names In a few dajs, then
I'll pass it on, of cour&o.
rTIIilS afternoon at tho Independence
Square lied Cross Auxiliary wo ara
going to havo Warden McKcnty, of tho
Penitentiary. Ho is going to tell us a
great deal about his men nnd about tho
things they havo dono for tho boldlcrs fIiic-o
the war sturted. J have always wanted
to hear him and, bcllevo me, 1 am glad of
this opportunity.
Then in tho evening thero will be tho
address by Major Garrett, of the Midvulo
Steel Works and Ordniiuco Department,
who is going to address tho Women Writ
ers" Club at their rooms nt tho Art Alli
ance Building. Bcllevo me, Nancy will
have somo busy day, for she ccrtulnly
wants to go to both.
T FIND it wonderfully Interesting, having
Jus.t reud a criticism of Dcmctra Vuka'i
new book on Greece, to leurn that this
same Dcmctr.i Vaka, in other words Mrs.
Kenneth Brown, is coming to Philadelphia
today and will bo tho guest of Dr. and
Mrs. I. Webster Fox. And what is more,
sho will mako un address tomorrow morn
ing at tho Illtz-Carlton. Mrs. Fox has
been having a series of talks by various
prominent persons on Internationalism and
tho last scheduled ono took place last
tweek, so this talk Is to bs u special one.
Mrs. Kenneth Ilrown was born In Con
stantinople and her parents wcro among
tho most distinguished Greeks In that
country. Sho married an American, oung
Kenneth Brown, of Virginia,, but has gone
back t6 her homo on many occasions.
Sho docs not sjpeak as an onlooker, there
fore, becaubo sho Is not an onlooker; sha
Is of tho Greek nobility. On the contrary,
In her book, which has only recently been
published, sho tells of her talks with King
Constantino and with Vcnlzelos and other
Important Greek statesmen which arc truly
marvelous. So thcro Is Uttlo doubt that
tomorrow's talk at 11:15 o'clock will prove
a most interesting thing.
T HAVE told you.about Mnull Kmlly nnd
how sho counted among her sweet
hearts Gcorgo Washlncton and her grand
father. Well, Hmlly, being now llvo years
nnd about twomonths old, was Invjtcd to
attend a dancing class with a littlo gill
aeveral years older. Tho littlo girl and
her mother camo for Emily, who, muchly
washed and dressed, accompanied them to
i her very first party.
That night when Daddy camo homo lie
asked her how bho enjoyed the class.
"Oh, very much Indeed; and plcaso get me
right away a silk bag nnd a. pair of danc
ing slippers to go in It," replied Miss Gol
e'en Curls.
Poor father! Mother laughed and said,
"If you did but know, this Is only tho
beginning!"
Out on tho porch, her dear littlo voice
trilling In through tho window, Hmlly re
marked, "Thcro was u sweet boy there.
Daddy, but ho'did not dance with me." So
perhaps aliens not uulto so grown up, after
all. Later In life she- won't bo boasting
about thoso who do not dance with her,
will she? NANCV WVNNU.

Hunting a Husband

Preparations
niArTBii x
THIl mall brought mo a letter today. A
different letter, with thick, creamy white
paper. I stared long at tho envelope guess
ing, speculating.
At last monther said, "Why don't you open
It, Sara? Then ou'll know who wrote It."
It was from James Jlerlo. 1 liked tho wnv
ho wrote, very black nnd scrawly. I could
feel his personality III the strong way ho
crossed his "T's."
It said:
"Dear Jllss Lane.
"1'vo discovered a new and fascinating
little restaurant In tho nethermost parts ot
tho city. Would 1011 give me tho pleasuro
of dining thcro with you tonight?
"I shall come for jou at. seven.
"Faithfully, I
"JAMES JIEHLE."
Hlw first letter ! I read It. Over nnd over
again. I put It In tho pocket of my gingham
morning dress All morning as I did Mmplu
littlo things around tho house, dusting, pol
ishing silver, straightening a picture, I could
feel his letter give a little friendly crinkle
In my pocket.
I must bend every energy on looking well
tonight. Everything will do except my hut.
That Is pa.se. It looks as If it had spenr
a long hard summer. It Is my one and only
hat. It Is too early for a velvet one. What
shall I do? I walked upstairs to the store
room. 1 hero stood tho old hat trunk. One
nfter another I pulled them out. Old and
battered each seemed worse than tho last
Then I had an Inspiration. Jty black Milan
of last car, nnd my black horse-hair of thrco
searons ago.
I carried them down triumphantly to my
room Thero mother found me, sitting on
tho floor with two dismantled hats, nnd my
Idea. Mother looked" puzzled. "Would my
purplo asters help jou?" she- asked. Help
me why, they were the finishing touch! In
fifteen minutes with some, long blauk pins
nnd my nail telssors I had made a fetching
creation.
I dashed Into mother's 100m. "How do jou
like It, mothei?" I asked.
"It Is becoming," sho answered.
It was. JI horse-hair crown was now oh
a Jlllan rim. A tight row of purplo nstcrs
bid the Joining It had tm air!
"You havo changed. Sara." mother t-ald
with a sigh But sho would say to more,
I lay down In tho nfternoon. I tried to
tleep. In vain. I had hazy, fascinating
pictures of James Jlerle und me. I could
seo tho dimly lighted restaurant. Our corner.
Ills eyes 011 mine acrosw tho tabic. Tho
savory smell of food. Perhaps at the end ho
would light a elgaiettc. Lean back and
regard mo through lazily moving bluo rings.
At this point I sat up. I could not sleep
It was & o'clock anyway. 1 might as well
dress myself.
Never before havo 1 known what fun It
Is to dawdle over mv dressing, To brush
nnd brush my hair. To rub my checks until
they aro rosy.
At last I was dressed I survejed injhClf
from well-polished too to my "new" hat. Yes,
1 would do. Just a touch of lose perfipnu
nnd I was read
The clock struck seven! I am putting on
mv glovcb. Jly heart beats fast, un I bear
fo'otslcpi pass tho house. A taxi whhiH
b. Is It he? It Is 7:15. I sit down and
try to rend the words blur before my ries.
Tho bell rings. Jly breath comes In a littlo
catch Only the laundry. Suppose hn does
not come? For tho llrst tlmo I think ha
nllght not 7. IB. No sIkii Jly faro Is
burning red. Is ho coming?
