JVWy JFynne Tcffe Afore About "Vanity Fair' She Talks of
Several Girls Taking Up Jobs in Department Stores
Other Matters
H1HE latest excitement for "Vanity Fair"
the tact that the hounds of the
Huntlnrdon Valley Country Club have been
entered for the dor show and they and
their master In their lovely pink coate
will come riding over the' hills together,
and. you will aires with me, will greatly
add to the general beauty of the landscape.
"Vanity Pair" will be the fifth annual
fete In aid of the Ablngton Memorial Hos
pital since that beautiful building was
erected by Mr. Qeorge W. Elklns In memory
of his first wife, who died some six or
seven years ago.
The fetes are given under the auspices
of the Women's Auxiliary, and, incidentally,
aren't you glad to hear "women's," It's so
much better form than ladles?
They are going to have totlgates, and
Mrs. Henry M. Watts and her sister, Mrs.
Archibald Hubard, will be the tellkeepers.
Another delightful feature of the fete be
sides the hounds and huntsmen In pink
coats and white breeches will be the kid
dles' playground. There are to be amuse
ments of every kind under the sun dolls,
balloons, candy, toys, all sorts of useful and
foolish things, and slides and swings and
pony rides. In fact, everything baby
could wish. You just wait and see!
Mrs. Edward Marshall is to be the cashier
of the day and Mrs. Laurance Butler treas
urer of the whole tea party.
It's going to be on June 5, unlets it goes
and rains, but that will not daunt the fair
"upgetters," for they'll up and have it the
next day If the weather is not In cahoots
with them.
There are to be several cash prizes for
the dog show and any number of war
stamps. Mrs. BUlle Mulford has the dog
show in charge, and has reported a de
cidedly big number of entries.
DID you know that Bessie Cartwrlght
and the two Lelper girls have taken
"Jobs" In one of our department stores?
Well, they have, and what Is more, they are
hard at it. The Idea Is to turn what money
they make over to the Bed Cross each
week, so I understand. Perhaps it's not the
Red Cross, but It's soma other war work,
then.
Bessie Cartwrlght is an aisle manager,
and she certainly looks stunning when she
approaches you and asks if you are being
attended to. Bessie Is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry R. Cartwright, of Chestnut
Hill, and Is engaged to Lieutenant Steven
son Brogden, U. S. A., a brother of Mrs.
Alexander Cheston, also of Chestnut Hill.
Mary and Frances Lelper are the daugh
ters of Commander Edwards Lelper. who Is
stationed at the Episcopal Hospital. These
three glr'.s, you see, are starting out on a
read along which, no doubt, they will have
many followers.
WORD comes to me from over the leng
arm of th6 sea regarding a former
Phlladelphian, Virginia Eyre, the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln Eyre and a cousin
of Mrs. Billy Drayton. 8he 'writes that
since the war began she and her mother,
assisted only by one old man, a former
coachman, go out into the fields every day
and work Indefatigably from 8 to 6 digging
potatoes. She has bobbed her hair and
wears overalls, which is now the feminine
badge of labor in Scotland as well as Eng
land. Her husband, Captain Jack Ballan
tyne, is with hU regiment, haying been
Invalided home once.
A "SPRING MUSICALE" Is being given
this afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home
of Mr. John Braun, Highland avenue,
Merlon, for the benefit of the summer
work ot the Settlement Music School. This
school does a great deal of good work, and
every once In a while somebodywho is in
terested In It gives one ot these benefit
affairs, and they are certainly most en.
Joyable. The artists for this afternoon are
well known and very popular. They are
Miss Eleanor Spencer, Mrs. William Baker
Whelen, Mr. Sascha Jacoblnoff and Mr.
Braun himself, who has a delightful voice.
Mr. Braun, you know, is much interested
n community singing, and led the choruses
at the various mass-meetings for Liberty
Loan and other war drives. His is a very
pleating personality, and he "gets" the
crowd with him Immediately In these big
"sings." Mr. Ellis Clark Hammann Is the
accompanist this afternoon. The program
Is certainly very interesting, and it Is for a
very worthwhile charity.
, "RTRS. WALTER BLABON will return to
LV1 her charming place In Tokeneke,
Conn-, for the summer. In addition to her
great affection for the place, she' is also
Inspired with the desire to defer to little
Dickie's wishes, for the little boy whom
Jane ha now legally adopted has become
very dear to her, and Dickie mane a nose
ot, friends there & few seasons ago. Mrs.
Tom Cover, who had the Blabon house last
season, will return there this summer If
he succeeds In locating a place. There
are a few other former Phlladelphlana
there, Including Captain Herbert Wheeler
and his wife, who was Catharine Dutth!
8mlth. Dutlhl Smith, Jr., Is a lieutenant

Council of Defense Urges Econ

All Lines
"The council of national defense and the
advisory commission of the council believe
that concerted effort for economy by the
people of the nation will not only go far
toward paying America's expenses In the
war, but wilt also redues the consumption
of raw and manufactured materials which
are essential to the conduct of the war.
"The council urges all to referaln from
unnecessary expenditures ot every kind and
to bear constantly in mind the fact that
now only one thing is of real Importance, and
that Is winning the war.
"The nation's resources In man-opower,
money, transportation, foodstuffs, raw ma
terials and fuel have already been sub
jected to heavy strain, and It Is the duty
of every cltlsen to guard against Increasing

"It Is most creditable for every one man
and woman, boy and girl to be economical
In dress, food and manner ot living. Every
evidence of helpful self-denial on the part
of al In a time like this Is commendable.
'This war Is more than a conflict between

FIGHT TO KNIT SOCKS
College Club's Red Cross Avail-
iary Has Place for Several
Patriots
Any man who feels that he would like to
knit either for patriotic purposes or for the
simple Joy of turning alever and watching
endless miles of ssckit come out of the
machine like saussge meat will find a warm
welcome at the Red Cross Auxiliary of the
College Club from members of both sexes.
It Is, in fact, expected that this summer
all men who have been prevented from serv
ing their country with the rifle will spend
much, If net all, of their spare moments
Industriously running the neat little ma
chines. The occupation is a manly one : no man
need blush for being found at the simple
task. He can knit and at the same time ex
ercise his mind with meditations: he docs
not have to vex his soul with the eternal
song of the sock "Knit Two; Purl Two."
He simply grinds
Those who remember making horse reins
on little red wooden frames In their early
youth will understand the principle of the
sock machine which Is engaging the raptur
ous attention of some brilliant masculine
minds The sock comes out In a long, shape
less string As far as the stupid work of
sewing up the toe and heel, and so forth, Is
concerned, the mascullno Intellect need not
descend to that. The sock may be conveyed
to the wife or mother-in-law for that.
Two machines have been Installed In the
little Red Cross office of the College Club,
and different hours are assigned to different
members. Already all the time Is taken.
The socks knitted on these machines art,
of course, beautifully even; nothing more
delightful to the earnest knitters than to see
at the end of several hours' work as many
pairs of socks neatly picketed, flawless and
enormous. So far, the record at the College
Club Is held. It Is believed, by a woman
who knitted Ave pairs of socks between
10 o'clock In the morning and 4 o'clock In
the afternoon . but there Is a man who Is
not far behind her In skill. His record Is
five In an eight-hour day
Competition Is growing warm ; but the
bounds of politeness have, so far, not beer,
transgressed The hours of quiet work are
passed In the utmost goodf ellowshlp : and
man's Invasion of woman's province Is hailed
by their feminine co-workers not with howls
of Indignation but with warmth and courtesy
Some difficulty Is experienced In prying
the diligent males from the knitting ma
chines; but. so far. feminine tact has done
wonders ; no feelings have been hurt.
The Interest that men are taking In the
work Is Important ; for the need for knitted
goods, especially socks, neer decreases, and
every one who Is willing to undertake the
tatk will find the demand Is continuous.
MAYOR PROMISES AD)
TO WAR HIGH SCHOOL
Plan to Giv Girls Nine Weeks
Intensive Training Draws
Nearer to Reality
Mayor Smith har promised his aid In put
ting through the plars for the War Emer
gency High School for Girls, recognising the
Imperative need for training women in all
branches of office and war work. Dr. Wll
!Um P. Wilson, wha Is dlrjr.tln the plans
for a nine-weeks' course of Intensive train
ing, called upon the Mayor and received a
rromlsn of support.
The demand for skilled women far sur
passes the supply, promoters of the project
assert, and the opportunity for 2000 young
women to receive nine weeks' Intensive train
ing will be eagerly seized.
Great Britain has organised many such
schools, with the result that nearly 90,000
women have been put Into positions formerly
occupied by skilled men workers. The Pei.n
sylvanla Railroad has trained by Its own
methods more than 9000 women and placed
them In sixty-one divisions of the work.
The Board ot Education has placed a build
ing and janitor service at the disposal ot the
proposed school.
Since arrangements for the faculty must be
made before the available teachers make
plans for the summer, speed Is vital In rais
ing the required 110,000. Many teachers feel
ing that the work Is a patriotic duty are ask
ing no pay and others request merely a
living wage.
Students are required to have had a high
school education. They can specialise In
drafting, tracing, lettering, reading blue
prints or In accounts.

The committee of the Deon War Relief
Horse Show, which consists of Dr. Thomas
G. Ashton. chairman; William H Wana

Shetland pony, which he wishes the manage
ment to dispose of tn such a way, by shares
or otherwise, that some child may be Its
winner.
Doctor Elliott, In presenting the pony,
says It la his particular wish that whatever
child shall win the pony shall keep it.
and that It be not passed on to some other
show for further bidding, since he Is willing
lo give every credited horse show held this
year a Shetland pony for a like purpose.
The pony. Doctor Elliott says, Is a lovable

NEW NATIONAL DISH
And Cottage Cheese Is Likely to Be the
First Choice
Cottage cheese promises to develop Into the
national dish this summer, if the diminished
pile of pamphlets containing cottage cheese
recipes at the food conservation bureau Is
any Indication
Women all over the city are showing a
steady Interest in the efforts of the food dem
onstrators, and according to Mls Newcome
are seeming to realize more clearly the
grave need of the utmost efficiency In plan
ning their menus
At the luncheon given here a short time
ago by the representatives of the Department
of Agriculture the remarkable adaptability of
skim milk was demonstrated, and since then'
at least a curiosity has been shown by wom
en, who would like to know just how thev
can make out of one commonplace food stuff
"The time is coming and it is coming soon
when we shall have to learn that wc can
not pick and choose what we are going to
eat," Bald Mrs. H. C. Boden, of the food
conservation committee "Wastefulness wll!
be a crime, and the woman who does not
guard her kitchen Is a slacker Just as sure
ly as any man who skipped the draft
"Do we have to put things off until we've
got to starve to learn that war means a
need for economy; end yet there are women
who seem quite Indifferent to the pleas that
fairly scream at them from every sign board
and building In the city to eat efficiently
that Is the all-Important thing; and it Is a
strategic problem that every woman must
stt her wits to solve."
Cottage cheese Is urged upon the nation
as the most "efficient" substitute for meat,
eggs and other Important food stuffs. Ex
perts have experimented with It, and a
means has been found of' eliminating the
taste ot It by borax, so that it can be used
with any sort ot camouflage as either soup,
meat or dessert.
