X: JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Very Little Entertaining Marks Independence Day This Year.
Nancy Wynne Speaks of Mrs.
Keen's Death
T WONDER as I look out over the broad
expanse of Colonial bulldlncs nnil the
trees of Independence Hnll and Square Just
how the women of those days 142 years aKO
felt the day before the Declaration of In
dependence. Just what It must have meant
to them, when that plorlous bell ran? out
the strokes which proclaimed to the world
that the Colonies had declared Inde
pendence. I think their spirit was back of
It nil, Just ns their spirit Is back of the
boys of today, who 142 years later are
fighting side by side with their allies to
help make that freedom which our fore
fathers won for us those many years ago
a possible thing for other lands and other
people. Those were primitive days com
pared with these, and waifare then waged
was warfare with some degree of decency.
There were no Huns to contend with. If
our soldiers were taken prisoners they
were not found later by their fellow sol
diers crucified with bayonets on barn doois.
Neither were our prisoners treated but ns
men. '
Is U any wonder we lovers of freedom are
engaged In this war to make the world
a safe place to live In and to be free in,
when we see the horrors of militarism'.'
All honor and pi also to the Hag of" this
great nation whose birth l.iy we celebrate
tomorrow. Long may It wave o'er lands
and seas In Freedom's name.
rpHERU are not to be any fireworks cele--
brutlons at the cricket clubs, but there
will be quite a few dlnnern and Informal
dancing In the evening at several.
At Manhelm there will be several events
all day long. In the moinlng theie will be
a drill by men who are drilling there every
week to get ready for the draft. Later a
cricket match between Manhcim and the
Philadelphia ("ticket Club will bring out a
good audience, for Gcrmantown always Is
Interested in cricket. And then at 1 o'clock
In the afternoon the (icrmnntown and
Chestnut Hill Homo Defense Reserves will
give an exhibition battalion drill. There
will be a band of them to march to
" "neverythlng." In the evening there will
bo a dance In the clubhouse, and, of course,
a lot of people will stay for dinner after
tho drill.
Most of the excitement of the day.
however, will center around the launch
lngs of the ships, for ninotv aie to
be launched from the great shipbuilding
yards throughout tho country and we will
have quite some few of those oeitcments
on the Delaware from Bilstol and Croy
don down.
A number of persons are making up
iaunch parties, and will hold picnic lunches
on board the boats.
The heretofore nnnual party for July 4
at the Henry Rrlnton Coxes Is not to bo
held this year. As I've said at various times,
there Is little entertaining at private
houses.
"DECAUSE Mrs. George V. Chllds Drexel's
'-' mother's name was Mrs. Keen, very
few but Mr. and Mrs. Drexel's most intl
mato friends knew of her death last 1'rld.iy
fs.ertt AVootton. the home of her son-in-law anil
daughter, the old George W. Chllds place
at Bryn Mawr. Mrs. Drexel was Miss
Mary Iilck and her mother, Mrs. hick,
married Mr. Keen after the death of her
first husband. The funei'al took place )es
terday morning at 10 o'clock in Vlnc-en-town,
5.'. J.
I am suie that Mrs. Prexel will receive
expressions of sympathy on all sides fioni
Ut" those who know of her berea-vement. for
there are few women held In higher ic-
"i etnt tlmn elm thi'OQ rtlrlillo mfWl'u lielciCei
"Aunt Mary." As for the ennteen work
she has Inaugurated and kept up through
out tho city, too much cannot be said of it.
And yet it Is one of those things pf which
very little may he said, for canteen workers
must know of the movement of tioop
tialns and for obvious reasons such move
ments may not be made public. And so
Mrs. Drexel and the thousands of women
throughout the city who work night anil
day to feed the men who pass throtish here
have little to say of their work and very
little Is said about It. But they are on the
Job at any moment, and they are working
magnificently and certainly it cannot bo
for the name, since it cannot be Known.
It seems to me that theie is real giving of
self, when It Is done as quietly ns this is
and with the splendid discipline which I am
told Is always maintained.
ANOTHER little man has made his
.appearance on the Main Line. Small
Francis Forbes, born on Saturday. His
father, Major William I lines Forbes, was
home on furlough at the time and was able
to welcome this second smull gem. He was
obliged to go back to Fort Sam Houston,
Texas, on Monday, but In the fall Mrs.
Forbes and her two little boys will go
down there to live In tho house which
Major Korbc3 has.
Last spring they moved into the house
where tho Oglesby Pauls lived formerly.
Mrs. Paul, you know, has gone back to
Boston to live, blnce Oglesby died, and the
Forbes took tho house this spring. Mrs.
Forbes was Daisy Coxe Wright, you know,
a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Town
send Wilslit and a sister of Ensign Billie
Wright, who man led Eleanor Carpenter.
DON'T the most upespected things hap
pen sometimes? For Instance, how, I
ask you, could two families who live on a
tnuch-traveled road In one of our nearby
suburbs know that at about 1 o'clock on
a Sunday afternoon a group of army trucks
would stop In front of their respectivo
houses? It was .some surprise to them
when they saw what was lined up before
their very doors, so to speak, and naturally
they hurt lei out to see the excitement.
Said excitement was, of course, the
eroun of soldiers vvhn manned tho trucks
ft and who were now gathered together on
the pavement. When they found that the
boys were resting for a short while the
first family Invited them up on their wide
veranda. And then it was gleefully dis
covered that Family 1 and Family 2 were
both having Ice cream that day for dinner,
and wasn't It lucky they hadn't eaten It
yjt. for tho boys would JUBt love It.
The, were right there, I can tell you.
' fof the men In khaki were "tickled to (death"
with the ice cream, and other good things
i'f Qbaldes, which were pressed upon them so
. .'iU.
,
fl ,"
unexpectedly. And when they loft n llttlo
while later they were a Jolly anil muchly
refreshed bunch; while F. 1 nnd F. 2 really
enjoyed going without dessert better than
any dessert they could ever lemembur
having eatrn. NANCY WYNNE.
