Nancy Wynne 'Attends Plays and Players' Invitation Night.
Girl Scouts' Rummage Sale to Take Place
This Week Poor Ethel
WELL, certainly, the Ploys and Plajcrs
outdid themselves on Thursday and
last night In their production of three
eastern plays at Oiclr annual Invitation
night at the, Little Theatre.
The first whs well done, hut lackici ac
tion; the second vvaH a delightful comedy,
and the third, well, words fall me; It was
so exceedingly fine.
Frederic Poole, for so Ions mlsslouarj In
China, wrolo the lines and himself was the
chorus, telling hefore each scene what It all
would mean. And we laughed a lot. for it
was exceedingly eker. and each one did
Ills or her part lemaiktiblv well, nut do
su know, with the fun of It all one could
not help hut have an Immense udmiratlon
for the simplicity of the Chinese, who could
so govern their Imaginations as to picture
tho scene just as It would have been had it
had all the embellishments and adorn
ments of magnificent modern scenerj.
There had to be wisteria In the scene,
.so, as thoro was no lattice on which to
twine it, naturally the propel t man. Hcnrv
RchaJTcr, Jr., had to hold the wisteria hark
of tho lovers in their garden scene
Tn fact, during their flight In a boat he
had to climb a stepladder nnJ hold a lai'go
moon on the end of a bamboo pole, to the
great Joy of the audieuec. Certainly Mt.
Kchaffcr worked hard.
Tho audience was much in sympatliv
with the musician, who sat outside the
curtain und played on three strange in
struments. In fact, he Kept up a constant
tat-too, while he changed his position as
often as possible between acts, for It must
have been u,"hard position" to sn the
least. I wish sou could havo been there
to see the wink that musician gac to the
appreciative audience.
Tho costumes were simply goigeous, and
ecept for tho fact that the wealthy suitor
who, by the vv-a.v. acted wonderfully
almost sat on the floor instead of on his
hair on Thursday night. It went off with
no accident.
It was on the order of "The Yellow
Jacket" and was as singular as could be.
It tolcf the tragedy of tho willow pattern
plate. Lorraine Graham was the heroine
and her acting was marelous. Altogthcr,
I do not know when I hao mjoved an
evening more thoroughly
rpHK Girl Scout- Rummage Sa.o, which
- was scheduled to take place last week.
was obliged to 6e postponed, as the wai
work committee took possession 0r t li?
building at 1007 Market street, where the
sale was planned to be held.
As a consequence the committee in
i harge, which is made up of the local cap
tains and lieutenants under the chairman
ship of Harriet Deavcr, is planning to hold
the sale on Thursday, Friday and Satur
day of next week at 152J Chestnut stieet.
Although in tho nature of a regulation
i ummage sale, where second-hand articles
of every description, from a Ford car to a
penny whistle, will be sold, many novelties
aie being introduced. Pour minute speeches
by various prominent men will be deliv
ered at Intervals duilng these three das.
n up-to-date restauiant. under the man
agement of Cecily Barnes, will serve lunch
con and afternoon tea, while a day nuiserj,
where babies and small children can be
ihecked while their mothers shop, is an
other practical accessor to the sale. One
of the most popular departments, that of
household furnishings, is under the direc
tion of Mrs. Nicholas Roosevelt, while Mrs.
Gardner Cassatt und Mrs. David Stern will
sell clothing of all varieties.
An ideal toy department, which, after
the spring cleaning of many richly fur
nished nurseries, has much in the way of
attractive toys to offer, will be managed
by Ellen Mary Cassatt. The various other
departments will bo under the dliection of
other members of the committee, Including
Miss L'llzabeth Adams, .Miss Katherinc
Hutchinson, Mis. Alexander Coe, Slls
Cecily Barnes, Miss Rdith Riddle, Miss
Kugenla Cassatt, Miss Anna I'. Uav Is, Miss
tlertrude Rly. Miss Helen Flelsher, Miss
Anne Thomson, Miss L'lsie Koerdcrer, Mrs.
.lohn Grolle, Miss Katharine Lea, Mrs. Rob
ei t Lesley, Miss Anne Melrs, Mrs. Richard
T. Xallc, Miss Dicky New bold, Mrs. Nicho
las Roosovelt, Miss Almce Stone and Mrs.
Edward Marshall,
The contemplated summer camp Is sit
uated on the George H. McFndden cstato
at West Chester, Mr. McFadden having
donated the ground and two houses for
this purpose. There uie accommodations
for about thirty scouts at one time, who
while enjoying camp life are under strict
military C.sclpline, the camp director in
Lhargo being a graduate of Chevj Chusc.
"nYTHEL that isn't her name, but it will
"do as well us any other wus at the
dentlsfs tho other day. Ordinarily this
is something of u pleasure, because he has
the chair right in the center of u big bay
window and jou can see everything that
goes on down in tho street flvo stories
below. Incidciitully, one of tho lamest
hotels in town Is directly opposite, and It
sort of tukes your mind off the hurt when
you have something like that to look at
and wonder who has the different rooms
and wish you were hearing the music up
on the roof. Well, tho other day tho den
tist put a porcelain filling In Ethel's tooth.
Did you ever have a porcelain rilling put
in? Tou havo to sit and Walt until It
hardens. So Ethel did, her upper lip It's
awfully short, anyhow propped up on a
lvel with her eyebrows and everything
that the dentist could find in tho oflleo In
her mouth.
There were no curtains at the window
and Ethel would havo been In full view of
anybody who happened to look out of a
window In the hotel. Ethel devoutly
hoped nobody would; she was all garnished
up with apparatus until she looked like
a new gas rango and tho adenoids ex
pression was far from becoming. How.
ever, she had her knitting, so she settled
herbelf (or as comfortable a half hour as
possible. Every few minutes an uinbu
lance clanged by and tho whole front of
the hotel Immediately stuck its head out
of the opposite windows. After u minute
inspection nf Ethel and tho dentist's tools
they would go In again and Ethel --ould
cairn down the embarrassment.
r, ., As soon as the windows closed a bugle
. wauM start a war'Stamp entreaty and up
would fly till the windows and out would
come nil the heads to Und nothing but a
much embarrassed person knitting In a
dentist's chair, with her mouth full of
steel, trying to look unconcerned nt the
scrutiny. It was n horrible thirty min
utes for Ethel, but I'm pcrfrctlv sure the
people in that hotel never had a mure
amusing time In any hotrl befoie, and
Ethel knows thci never will again
