X, ' k .J. in s U Nancy Wynne Tells of Fete St. Pantalcon She Warns Against Gossip in Wartimes & rTlHE Little House of Saint Panaleon, the iciiiniaauifl war renei orgunizuuun founded by two women physicians. Dr. Ellae Whltlock nose and Dr. Elizabeth V. O. Clark, will benefit by tho fete cham petro which was held today at the country home of Mr. Warren Carter, In Springfield, Delaware County. The fete Is given under the auspices of the Women's Club of Springfield, but the Interests go far out side that little township. The little house of Saint Pantaleon, has grown up since the war, and Is doing a tremendous amount of-"good in France by caring for the smaller hospitals and or phanages In the smaller towns and villages jand the refugees from the occupied terri tories who are sent to these out-of-the-way places which other relief organizations may fall to reach. All tho proceeds of this outdoor fete will be donated to this purpose. The affair Is unique. In that It had many of the characteristics of the fairs given In the springtime In Paris and other French cities. There are outdoor plays, all sorts of amusements for the children, a typical French bazaar and a flower and vegetable market. Mrs. William A. Al lison, who, as president of the Women's , Club of Springfield, is directing the ar rangements, promises that as virtually everything for the bazaar has been donated the Various articles are sold at pre-war prices? This Is most unusual In these times, and those who are enjoying the fete do so with profit and still aid In this deserv ing charity. The program for the outdoor theatre Is very fine also, for a number of good shows have been provided. Mr. Frederic Poole Is taking part, as are also a coterie of young women from the Philadelphia School of Design for Women, Who are giving a number of dances and show tableaux of the inspiring patriotic posters for the Liberty Loan. There Is a Dance du Prlntemps by a well trained group of young children of Dela- ware County. Other specialties are Riven and the students of the Academy of the Fine Arts are flower girls in the marche des flours. The kiddles are being regaled with mov ing pictures, and there are also amusements of all sorts and pony rides for them, as well as sports and gymkhana races for the grown-ups. The thrift-stamp whirl is another de cided novelty which the visitors are en Joying. Cards and games are under the direction of Mrs. George E. Spelrs, who Is "chairman of the fete, and a number of 1 sailors are acting as aids. v Catharine Wharton Morris is to dance a mysterious Oriental dance (Knntasle d'Inde), which Is one of the delightful conceits which the youn& women mem bers of the Women's School of Design have undertaken for the affair. And ,Mr. Frederic Poole, the noted Chi 'nese missionary scholar and impersonator's reading of "The Yellow Jacket" Is remark able without doubt. T SOMETIMES wonder, when I see a lot of women gossiping together over their "Bed Cross or other activities. If they ever . stop to consider what they are saying and if they could possibly imagine how far their idle gossip goes. ' Only recently some women out on the Main Line got talking, and, "Well, my dear, you know that good-looking French 's man ? They've discovered he's a German spy, caught him with the goods. He's to be shot." "Oh, my dear, no!" and so it went. And the man was blackened " forever in the minds of all present. One -woman, however, thought' to herself, "I'm going to follow that up and see how true it Is." She told some one who was able to follow It up, and It proved to be not an exaggeration, not just hearsay, but a downright He. ' It's a pure case of German propaganda. 'Trying to discredit our allies among us over here. DOWN-RIGHT LIES. And Idle .women hear them, pick them up and pass them along. The man with whom this woman talked went into the matter thor oughly, and, let me tell you, that both the Army and Navy Intelligence Departments are on the track of the gossiping women, and the first thing they know they'll be getting into real trouble for repeating un founded tales about Government and ; service. '' Ask some of these women when .they "'tell you these tales if they can prove their stories, and nail the lie on the head In this way at the start. You'll be helping , your country if you do.

Class Day events at the Abington High School last night attracted an audience of more than five hundred people from the Old York Road section.

Eight thousand to 12,000 or 15,000 Is the minimum quota named for im mediate enrollment ; 50,000 1b not an extrava gant estimate of tho number of women In Philadelphia who before long will be in war Industries, according to a statement made at the Emergency Aid headqunrters. Recruiting stations at five places In the city open Monday, when the drle for women workers begins, at 1724 Chestnut street, 133 South Third street, 135 South Sixteenth htreet. 1428 Walnut street and 1607 Walnut street. Women of every typo are needed, trained or untrained, although in the cont of nst numbers applying the professional women will be accepted first. The pay is very goon It Is Important that women should regard the arsenal work as war work, and not In the light of drudgery. It Is work such as the women of England and Franco have been doing and which has received the greatest recognition and admira tion. It Is war work in the truest sense; not bo romantic as Red Cross nursing Is sup posed to be. but a grim, big task, nnd one that truly patriotic women who can see what war demands will recognize as of vital Im portance. Mrs. Barclay H. Warburton. chair man of the emergency Aid. hpoke of the effect a special uniform for the arsenal workers and recognition of them bj the Gov ernment would mean. "It Isn't from any foolish reason that a uniform has an Inspiriting effect on the women," said Mrs Warburton. "It Is simply that It Is In human nature to work better when public recognition and appreciation of services aro given. And no one will question that tha same Instinct vvhlih prompts the soldier In the trenches to revere the uniform he wears would prompt the women hero to work with a greater zest than they them Belves would be conscious of." The Emergency Aid Is authorized to create such subcommittees as aro necessary and to lay out Its own plans for handling the work. Thus far plans have been mao not only for the recruiting, but for the Inspection of the arsenals and comparison In conditions surh as they are under women's handling and aa they were under Government supervision. "One thing we found," Bald Mrs. Warbur ton, "was that In many factories there are no lunch rooms, nor any place where the girls could go tq reBt or where they could get a 'Bort of first aid. Already several of our aides have attended to fitting up rooms, and laBt winter they took a course In nurs ing, so that they are able to treat the girls for any minor Injuries or Ills." Co-operation with other war committees Is part of the Emergency Aid's plans ; as, for example, with the Visiting Nurses. "For merly," said Mrs. Warburton, "a girl would come to an employer or to the arsenal, saying that she could work for, perhaps, four hours ; but that her mother was 111 and there was no one to look after the house. Now, In such a case, a visiting nurse would be Bent and the girl freed which, Incidentally, will have more than one good slde.to It, both for the girl and the mother." The complaint of committees overlapping each other will no longer be called forth, for the work Is to be arranged so that It will interlock Instead of overlap. Efficiency, with out the slightest waste of time or of energy, is all-important for the administration of the vast work that must be done by American women.

U-- N'CI,K SAM Is setting his Washington house In order, but, IIKc every other housekeeper, he Is finding It hard work, "Comtt'ny keeps a-com;n' and help can't be had," as the farmer's wife put It. And your Uncle Samuel Is wrestling with these and other dllllcultles peculiar to hla lot. He keeps right on Inviting men and women mostly women to work for hlni. They come to Washington as he bids them, stay a short time and then go home, disgusted with his housekeeping and declaring he should never have Invited them If he couldn't entertain them better than he does. Very few women realize that their work In the capital Is war work of the most Im portant sort and that they have no more right to object to dlFcomforts than their brothers In the trenAes. On the contrary, so many women have failed to stick to their Jobs because of temporary hardships that In some weeks Uncle Sam loses more workers thnn he gains. For the last two months for every three who came to Washington one left for home and mother The Government has paid their railroad fare for nothing and has to begin all over again to break In a green worker. A' S the experts In Industrial management high labor turnover among Its civil employes In Washington. Figures on this turnover, according to the housing and health division of the War Department recently, ra-i: During the week ending April 20, 1766 persons, of whom nearly 70 per cent are women, came to Washington for Government work i 728 left the city, yielding a net sraln of 1038. In the week of April 27, 1626 came J ,w ....... w. ..... uu.t;, ...Mem, 1011 ien ineir JfJs and the net gain was 843. May 4 the figures ran: Oross, 1512; loss, 687; net rain, 825. May 11 was the worst week, with a gross Increase of 1580, loss of 802 and net gain of 778. M1 ISS VAN' KLEER. of the Industrial Service Bureau of the Ordnance Deoart. ment, tells of a manufacturer who requested her department to remove all restrictions on night and Sunday work for women that he might catch up on Important war contracts. Miss Van Kleek sent her assistant, Mrs. Ord way Tead, to learn whether such exemptions should be granted. The first question Mrs. Tead asked was "What Is your labor turnover?" When she found that It ran monthly from 20 to 30 per cent she sought to provide the remedy. Be fore very long, under her suggestions, the women workers found conditions so much bettered that they were satisfied to remain on the job. THE bousing and health division of the War Department Is at work along these lines. It seeks to remove Just discontent and to provide better housing, proper recrea tion and adequate health provision far all Government employes. It has co-operated with the Department of Labor In plans for buildings which will take care of 6000 women, but these houses have not yet been begun and In the meantime the girls are pourlnc In at the rate of nearly 1000 a week.
