fST GOSSIP' ABOUT PEOPLE
Nancy Wynne Attends Opera She Also Goes to a Pretty Wed
ding She Has a Lot to Say About a Great
Many Other Things, Too
"!E felt quite as It ono were at tlio
-'Metropolitan on Tuesday night at tlio
opera festival. There were the Ned Brown
ings entertaining In ono box nnd the
Richard Gilpin Woods and the Lawrence
Begs In another. Mrs. Stotcsbury, look
ing very handsome In a Nllp preen gown,
was In a box and entertained Lady Lister
Kaye. Mrs. Alexander Williams Blddle,
John Bell and Willing Hare. The John
Scotts were In the stockholders' seats and
all through the audlenco were familiar
faces of opera-goers during the bis season.
It only goes to prove that the usual
opera'goer 3ocs appreciate good music and
Is willing to go to populnr-prlced operas,
even If the scenic effects are not those ot
tho Metropolitan; at least the voices are
on a par with the finest, many of them
being Metropolitan stars and the others
Chicago Opera Company stars.
Yesterday afternoon was another sample
of Roclety In attendance. I only wish they
had planned a three of four weeks'. stay
rather than two only. Mr. and Mrs. Charlos
D. Barney and their daughter, Baroness
von Hlller, were there, and Mrs. Ashton
Little and Mary, Mrs. George Horace Lorl
mer nnd several others.
DID you go to tho Zockvver-McDonogh
wedding yesterday? It was awfully
pretty. In St. Patrick's Church, ou Know,
and there never was a moie wonderful
background for a wedding than that gor
geous church, with Its wide sanctuary and
beautiful marble altars. Tho bridesmaids
and ushers were arranged In two rows on
prle dieus nnd knelt there during the
ceremony and the nuptial mass, which was
said by Monslgnor Klercn, who Is rector
of that church, nnd who will, Incidentally,
celebrate this year his fiftieth anniversary
In the priesthood.
The sanctuary was simply banked on
either side with huge palms and pink
climbing roses and azaleas, and tho altar
was decorated with pink cluster roses.
Jamard's white uniform and thoso of four
of his ushers added greatly to tho plc
turesqucness of the scene, nnd Agnes cer
tainly did look lovely. Her dress was
weet, all tulle and cloth of silver, and she
wore a low coronet of orango blossoms,
which was so much more becoming than
the stiff coronet effects so many brides are
wearing this year. Jamard Is Hn ensign of
the navy, you know, and Is stationed at
Lewes, Del., Bt present, so after a short
wedding trip ho and his brido will live
tiiere. r
THEY really had a delightful time, the
girl who was helping to entertain the
sailors and marines and the bigjhandsomo
marine who played "Threo Deep" with
her.
Don't be worried, gentle reader; "Three
Deep" Is simply another wordjfor French
tag, I believe, in the language of the clill
.dren. and. as Ethel says: "It's more darn
fun. One is 'It' and you stand In a
circle, and the ono that's 'If no I think
there are two 'If but anyhow, you stand
In two circles, one outside of the other,
and you have partners and hold hand,
and the one that's 'It' stands in front of
one couple In the inside of tho circle, nnd
then the one opposite the one that's 'If
makes It threo deep, "and that ono has to
run. It's more darn fun; we used to. do
It at school." Well, It certainly sounds
funny to me. I can't quite yet get whero
the one runs to nor how long he or sho
runs or keeps on running and how you
get to be "It" next time; but they tell me
no one else does, so what's the difference?
However, It's "more darn fun."
And tffeTi, anyway, this story Is not about
"Three Deep"; It's about the girl and the
marine. Well, after he and she had played
she danced with a sailor boy and then an
other marine sauntered up and they talked
and talked, and In between times tho first
marine would come up and talk and talk,
too. Well, he was almost making an Im
pression when the becond marlno re
marked sweetly; "He's nice-looking, isn't
" he? And looks so young, too. You'd never
dream he was married and had a little
1 daughier four years old, would you?"
Nice fellow., these men, aren't they?
But you can't blame them If they see n
perfectly nice girl about -to fall for a gay
' deceiver, now can you? Anyway," she had
fun and so had the two marines. I'll war
rant. And no one was hurt.
mHERE was much excitement yesterday
-L afternoon at the Broad Street Theatre
when. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson arrived and
gave the Girl Scouts Troop No. 67 a flag
for the splendid work done In the last
Ltbertv Loan drive. The lower part of the
house was n wonderful Bight. Tho Scouts
were all In uniform and looked great, and
the new ones who had not yet received,
their uniforms wore white middles and sat
In the balcony. Ellen Mary Cassatt, the
real leader of the Girl Scout movement In
this city, met Mrs. Wilson at the station
and took her to the theatie, where the
girls received her with grea.t enthuslzvm.
It was altogether a dandy affair.

What Women Arc
Doing in Washington
WOMEN are taking their places In army
hospltaN In u new role. Not content' with
with nursing sick soldiers, they are minister
ing to their needs as tamp hospital librarians
under tho direction of the war service of the
American Library Association.
In the left wing or the great library of
Congress at Washington In the headquarters
of the association's war service more than
sixty men nnd women are giving tholr time
to providing books for soldiers, both over here
nnd over there They are detailed from
libraries and library schools all over the
country to serve for three months or longer
In Washington, while their salaries are paid
by their home associations
In this way they enrry on tho clerical and
administrative machinery for dispatching
1(10,000 books a month to France nnd of
supporting 600 camps, stations and vessels
with a million and a half volumes. In addi
tion they have sent 120 librarians after these
books to care for them In thn camps, nnd
are now supplvlng military hospitals with
women to net as librarians
SICK soldiers create special demands which
must be met In extraordinary ways. These
camp hospital librarians aro an example, out
of the hosts of applicants for the position
emly fifteen women have as yet been selected.
There Is not the slightest dlfllculty In securing
all the women needed but first the Library
Association must be sure of tho right type
of woman and second a place for her to live
must be found
Undoubtedly the army looks with favor on
the "lady librarian" In camp hospitals, since
It has olllclally i (-quested that she adopt a
uniform This means that she has bten
accepted a an Institution, n part of the
great war machine
Her ponwee shirtwaist suit white collar
nnd dark-brown tie i an Ideal costume for
hot summer da.vs, a brown brassard on the
left arm, lettered "A L A." and Panama
hat and Library Association pin complete
the attractive picture Some wonder that
candidates must be chosen with special at
tention to the'r dignity and experience
BOOKS for stele men and those slowly pull
ing batk to health are selected rlBor
ously. Love snorle", of course, lead all the
rest 'Give in- a real lovt story, caserly
demanded one fellow in a convalescent waril
' All the men laughed " said the librarian,
"but as I went from bed to bed one after
another would ny 'I want one like lhat
other f'llow asked for "
Strapbooks made of cheery clippings,
Illustrations and short stories nre- favorites,
for they are light to hold and their pages
easy to turn Book wagons go from ward to
ward, bringing a small asortmenl of special
bt'oks to ttast the patients' Interest
li) the p&vchlatrlc wards the librarian mbst
often turn story-teller and take the books
to the men In a spoken form. Anyone who
has cultivated the Flft of vivid, sustained
story telling such as ued In the children's
hour Ir many city llhrarles, should offer
their services now at nil army hospitals for
a' many hours a week as they can give.
DETROIT'S public library system Is doing
Its bit In the war emergency by loaning
Miss Marian Humble to the library war serv
ice in Washington for the ne-t few months.
She has bten director of publicity for De
troit's libraries and comes to the capital to
work along the same lines for the national
association
If the American public can be made to
understand tha,t more and better books are
wanted by the men who are fighting their
battles they will strip the shelves of every
private collection in tne country to provide
them
it has been hoped that this ruling of the
Postmaster General would result in a steady
stream of our best periodicals Into the camp
libraries. On the contrary, the dear public
seems to have developed a curious tendency
to dump the accumulation of years on to the
Postoffice Department. Back numbers for
three and four years, sometimes for ten, have
been sent, evidently In the attempt to clean
out the attic thelves.

TO SING NEW ODE TONIGHT
Voicing the spirit of democracy, the 8trav--brldge
& Clothier Chorus will sing "The Call
of Freedom," a new patriotic ode by Victor
Herbert, for the first time tonight at Willow
Grove. The ode, which Is written In cantata
form. Is dedicated to Dr. Herbert J. Tlly.
director of the chorus.
It tells the itory of tl uprising of the
nations of the world against tjranny and
carries the message of the victory of right
eousness. The patience, despair and finally; the
wrath of the world, kindled by prolonged In
dignities, are depicted In the melody, which
many believe will prove to be one of Mr
Herbert's best creation. May EbryHeU
