? JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
. Nancy Wynne Tells More of "Vanity Fair" Which Will Be Held
at the Huntingdon Valley Club War Exhibit
to Open at Bellevuc-Stratford
T CERTAINLY feel as if I should have
started oft for the Huntingdon Valley
Club today all dressed up like Piccadilly
Circus or Temple Bar. For every one out
there Is dressed In some fashion to repre
feent the times of which Thackeray wrote In
his famous story, "Vanity Fair." And
there Is so much 'to see and do that really
It will bo dldlcult to know where to bo
next.
The loan exhibit Is very wonderful.
Think of seeing the genuine wedding cer
tificate of Napoleon and Josephine! That Is
just one jif the things that Mrs. John
Grlbbel has loaned to the fair, bosldcs her
wonderful collection of butterflies from all
over the world. There have been loan
exhibits at many out-of-door fetes before,
of course, but I have never heard of such
truly valuable exhibits as these.
Needless to say, the exhibit has to
be shown under pollco protection. For
the value of that certificate means more
to the present owner than it meant In later
life to poor Josephine. It Is certainly worth
a great deal In gold.
The posters and signs at the booths are
no small part of the fair, for they have
all been planned and executed by Ouernsey
Mooie, the artist, and the results have out
done even the utmost expectations.
I really cannot hegln to tell you of all
the wonderful things there are to see.
Anyway, you'll see for yourself.
The characters are simply perfect.
Sirs. Dencgre, for Instance, who had
"Mrs. O'Dovvd's Wool Shop," was dressed to
Impersonate that lady, and Mrs. Waller,
wife of Brigadier General Waller, repre
sents Mrs. Sedley. Mrs. George Fales
t Baker has a wonderful old-fashioned cos
tume, In which she is selling her exquisite
flowers, which are to be sent direct from
her country, home In Rosemont, cut fresh
every hour or so and brought over In her
car. All of her aides are wearing quaint
frocks also.
Mrs. Drayton and her sister-in-law. Mrs
Voorhees, conduct the rummage sale, and
Mrs. Warburton has the lemonade and
other "eats" of "Temple Bar." Altogether,
it's some party, believe me;
And In the evening, after the Hupper and
probably between dances, there will be an
auction sale of leftovers In all the booths.
This will be held under the direction of
Calfeb Fox. George Frazler c:-.d John
Mason.
The whole affair Is being given Tor the'
benefit of the Ablngton Hospital, which,
fully equipped and with a retinue of muses
and doctors, has been accepted by the Gov
ernment for the wounded men, when the
time comes for Its use.
The committee in charge of the whole
fete includes Mrs. George Horace Lorlmer.
chairman; Mrs. Barclay H. Warburton,
Mrs. John Gilbert, Mrs. George W. Klklns.
Jr;., Mrs. RoBeit Sewell. Mrs. Edward Mar
shall and Mrs. Laurance Butler.
THERE will be a gala time at the Belle
s vue Stratford Monday afternoon next,
when the official opening of the French war
exhibit will take place. This Is the same
collection that has been on view at the
Roberts Mansion, at Nineteenth und Wal
nut streets. It will be moved In Its en
tirety to the main cafe -of the Bellevue,
and the exhibit will continue at that place
until the last of this month. Mr, Frazler,
the manager of the Bellevue, whose sym
pathies for everything Fiench are well
known, has kindly donated the use of the
cafe. , '
The exhibit, which is under the direction
of Jules Ratzkowskl, a well-known art
critic and publicist of Paris, has as its
chief feature a number of pictures of Ger
man atrocities. These were made at the
"command of the French Government by
Ferdinand Gueldry, a famous French arflst,
and have been creating much Interest here.
They were formerly on view at the Vander
bllt mansion, on Fifth avenue, New York,
and effected a decided sensation.
The money obtained will b"e turned over
to the French committee ofjfhe Emergency
Aid, of which Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson Is
chairman. Through this committee it will
be dispersed for war-rel(ef work.
The members besides Mrs. Stevenson are
Mrs. Edwin Balch, Mrs. Ronald Barlow,

ONE FAMILY ADOPTS
EIGHT "WAR KIDDIES"
Catholic Children's Bureau Tries
to Find Temporary Homes
for 1000 Wards
Taking eight children Into the famllv rlr
cle all In nne grand swoop Is almost more
than most people can Imagine, but that Is
what several CafTiollc pnrents have recently
done at the appeal or BlFhop McCort
The problem of an Increased number of
dependent children because of war condi
tions Is being partially solved bv parents
of Inen In service. Homes that have been
left desolate und lonely because the "bovs"
have gone "over there" are being enlivened
by orphans or children left temporarily de
pendent upon society.
The Catholic Children's Bureau of Phlla
delphla today has under Its piotectlon more
than 1000 little wards, who have been given
temporary homes till their fathers come back
from war or their own homes arc re-established
Besides thjtse, many have been adopted
through the medium of the bureau during
the last few months in accordance with
tbe fundamental Catholic principles the bu
reau etrlvcs to preserve the family as a unit
of sofclety.
It tries, flret of all. to reunite parents,
to find work for the unemploed and to plan
methods whereby the family may be kept
together. But if this Is impossible, the
bureau takes the children, and, in placing
them In new homes, still keeps the brothers
and slBters together. Some times there are
only two or three In the family, but there
have been many cases where there were six
dhlldren and several In which there were
eight.
Bcause many of tho children are left to the
care of the bureau only temporarily until
the mother or father becomes well or can get
a little money ahead, a system of boarding
out has been arranged. Instead of legally
adopting the little ones, parents take ihem
Into comfortable homes temporarily For
this they nre paid hoard.
"Of course, we cannot pay these parents
for the home love and the inttlnslcally val
uable things thaconie with It," said Miss
Leslie SI. Hoy, In charge of the case depart
ment of the bureau "But we do pay a small
sum, which covers the cost of food conrumed
by each chili!- This money Is furnished by
the Philadelphia County court for Its desti
tute children clothing Is also furnished by
this means From the lime the children
are brought to us hv their parents until they
are returned to their original homes or else
legally adopted, they are directly under our
supervision, no matter what homes they mav
enter. Our workers visit every child at least
once a month to see that he or she Ls well
cared for.
"Our Institution acts as an lntenned'ate
stage between the worit and the best In the
children's lives Some of them come to us
from tho very worst Imaginable places We
teach them the beautv of cleanliness and
try to In'tlll in thfm the common courtesies
of life before sending them Into homes. We
are Just as sure of the character of our chil
dren before placing them as we must be of
the families Into which they go Our aim Is
to place the right child In th right home
In manv casa the girls and boys come from
excellent families and some of them have
fortunes which they will Inherit when of
"Six-year-old Marie, of Hungarian parents,
was brought to us recently Her parents are
dead and she Is alone in this ciuntry. But
she has relatives and large estates In Hun
cary which w-lll he hers if there Is anything
left after the war. In the meantime bh" ls
being cared for by a splendid family here."
Two of the most beautiful children In the
care of the bureau are the eon and daugh
ir of a man hentenced to twenty years in
ne penitentiary for killing his wife. The girl
is eleht and the boy Ave years old Most of
the children ara left destitute by sickness
r,'A good family history Is needed to de
termine whether a dull child Is backward or
feeble-minded." said one of the bureau dlrec.
tors "It l unfair to place a feeble-minded
child with normal children, or the child of
bad habits and much evil knowledge with
children of Innocent minds. Even with normal
children the bent of the mind and talents
must be known for proper placing. Yet we
find that wonderful changes are made In
children by placing them In proper sur
roundings. More and more we realtft the
power of environment and dally training
"Truly. It Is a deep study In human nature
to pick" up these children, learn their traits of
character and find for them homes where
they will develop Intohe best types of man
hood and womanhood."
Children between the ages of four and six
teen are admitted to the care of the bureau,
and once taken tncharge they are given
every care poBSlblevllll they become of age.
Every nationality Is represented and the
institution strives to place the'boys and girls
according to nationality. .
"There are undoubtedly more dependent
children because of war conditions and the
number Is steadily increasing," said a di
rector. "Because of this Bishop SIcCort hs
urged parents to -it their bit by taking care
of some of these little pnes."

There Is raid to be ro Immediate danger
of drnftlng skilled nurses Into the service of
the lountrj, but an Individual and personal
call Is to be made on all nurses In an effort
to enlist their services
The personal canvass of nurses, according
to .Miss Susan Frauds, head of the Pennsyl
vania Delaware division of the Bed Cross, will
be part of the campaign now under way for
JS.flOO recruits before January 1,
"No nurse of military age and physical re
quirements should remain In an Industrial
position "
Thlf Is the attitude of tho National Red
Cross Societv, which declares that the need
for nurses In saving the lives of soldiers at
the front and of ministering to the wounded
is so Intense that as many as possible must
be released for this service.
A lecord has been kept In training schools
and registration bureaus throughout the
country of graduate nurses. Committees' will
be organized to make personal visits to these
nurses with the view to explaining the need
and urging upon them the vital necessity of
offering themselves for duty abroad, should
their home ties and their health permit. Tpi
campaign will be as personal as the cam
palgnt for money In Liberty Loan and Red
Cros, fund drives. v
In the present campaign four purposes are
paramount First, the enrollment of ftllgrad- t ,'
uate nurses of military age and physical i
