Fashion Show for Navy Recreation Nancy Wynne Tallcs of

"tXTHAT do you know about this fashion
" hov that's going to be' held next
Wednesday, Thursday nnd Friday at the
Walton In the Pierrot Roof Garden from
9 until 10 o'clock?
Some Idea, that, It strikes me! There
will be a display of gowns and hats by living
models, and they will' be auctioned off
every evening. And the whole thing will
be he.ld under the auspices of the Navy
riecreatlon. The Fashion Show Is to take
In Industrial garments and gowns In tho
summer modes. And wait till you see
those Industrial garmentst
TT WAS while observing the many
women war workers In New York that
Mrs. Charlotte Hale, of Boston (who has
given two sons to the service), became In.
spired with the trjea of originating an
entirely new costume, which, unlike the
present stiff uniforms, would appeal to all
vomen for their modesty, comfort and
safety.
Six different garments have been de
signed by Mrs. Hale, and they Include ap
propriate costumes for the farmerette,
munition worker, elevator operator and
conductor, while In response to appeals
ft particular gown has even been ar-
ranged for evening wear. All of these
dresses conform to the war regulations In
regard to conservation of material, and none
of them requires the addition of a petticoat
beneath. They are made of the ordinary,
everyday materials, such as gingham and
khaki cloth, with a tilm. cuff at the ankle:
but much skill has been employed In the
designing that utility never once over
shadows the delightfully feminine!
A NUMBER of additional garments which
"have been donated by the leading firms
in the city will be auctioned off to the high
est bidder those evenings, too. And Chris
tie MacDonald and other well-known act
resbes will bo present each evening.
The proceeds of the affair will bo given
to the work of the Department of Navy
Recreation, of which Mrs. Edward T.
Stotesbury Is national chairman. The
Woman's Navy Service, of which Mrs.
George Dewey Is president, has created a
department of navy recreation for the pur
pose of providing the men with such arti
cles of amusement and diversion as will
promote their contentment and happiness
during the war. Tobacco, games, books,
magazines, comfort kits, musical Instru
ments, motlon-plctuie films, athletic out
fits and any practical articles tho men
themselves ask for and It Is possible to
provide are sent by patriotic individuals
and organizations; nnd It Is the knowledge
that these tokens of gratitude and affection
are received from the people at home for
whom they are fighting that does more
than anything else to enhance the morale
of our American navy.
THE Navy Recreation ought to make a
lot out of the show, because there's a
fascination about buying frocks at auction.'
and those of us who have felt that on nc
count of the war wo had better economize
In sowns perhaps can buy them with a
clear conscience, and in this way help the
cause.
There is to be dancing every evening
after 10 o'clock, and I suppose supper will
be served for those who want It; and al
together It's a delightful idea right in the
middle of summer, this way to hae tome
thing like this to go to besides movle3,
though they are ever diverting and very
often highly Instructive.
WEREN'T you surprised to hear that
Jan. Smith nnd Katifarlne Hancock
were married on Friday evening? I'm sure
I don't know why any one bhould be sur
prised though, in these days, for once
you're engaged you're liable to get married
any moment If your fiance is a "sojer,"
and you !ce Jas. is a "sojer" and a lieu
tenant, too, If I am not mistaken.
They were married In old St. David's
Church by Doctor Mpckrldge, who Is out
there for the summer, on Friday evening
at half-past S o'clock, and' left Immediately
after the ceremony on' a wedding trip. I
suppose Jas. had only a few days' furlough
and will be going over soon, so What will
you? It's a decidedly nico match, but I
don't feel awfully happy about any of these
weddings. It's so hard "cm the man who
has to go and so hard on the woman who ,
has to stay. But I believe If I were In the
same position I'd do the same thing nnd so
would you. Don't contradict me.
Katharine is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. James Hancock, of St. Davids, and
Jos., who Is really Jumes Somers Smith,
Jr., Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Somers
Smith, of this city.
THE Sullivan wedding ,was a lovely affair
indeed VThe little church St. Kath
erine's, which you know Is o'n Lancaster
Pike, was a mass of bloom, and the bridal
party was so large and impressive it al
most filled the upper part of the church.
Leta did certainly look radiant. Her amber
gold hair shone against the lace veil like
an aureole, and she was extremely graceful.
Frankle, too, looked lovely in her pink
frock; and as for Elaine, she Is really Btun
nlng,. and will no doubt make a sensation
when the time for her debut arrives. If this
awful war is over then.
There were crowds of people from Wash
ington, New York, Boston and other cities,
besides the large circle of Philadelphia
acquaintances. In fact, it was hard for
every one to get Into the church In spite ot
the fact that It was a card wedding "and
only those holding the small squares were
admitted. I saw the Van ftensselaers. Bid.
die;, Stotesburys, Sculls, Cadwaladers, Nor
rises, Munns, Mills, Montgomerys oh,
everybody!
I liked the Idea of the bridesmaids carry
ing pink parasols. They are even more
graceful things to carry than bouquets,
and one can walk so much more gracefully
it one has a parasol fo wield. It was most
artistic in ihat sort of way, you know, the
arious shades of pink in the frocks and
the beautiful picture hats. You couldn't
imagine Mrs. Jlmmle or Leta In anything
that was not frilly and picturesque, could
jou? They sort of lend themselves to the
graceful and feminine through and
through.
Of course, the men in the party were
nlcturesaue. too. for the uniform ia-cer-
jtr -''!; talnly a help. Mrs, Sullivan lobkcij quite, as
young as her daughters In a pale gray
gown of spangled lace, with a lace hat to
match and a graceful scarf of tulle. Mrs.
Hoffman was In black.
TEDDY'S mother Is an ardent Red Cross
wqrker. She Is busy all day long almost
evet;y day, and Teddy does miss her most
awfully sometimes. Rut he got even yes
terday, although It was entirely Innocent
on his part, for even his childish mind
realizes the Importance of the work.
Mother had a day at home, It being Sunday,
and as they arc out In their country
house and the house is surrounded by trees,
she was showing Teddy a bird book to
teach him the names of the birds. "This Is
the oven-bird," she explained. "When he
comes down to the ground he walks Just
the way you do, Instead of hopping, as most
birds do." "Teddy was much amused at
that thought and had n pleasant mind
picture of the walking bird during which
mother finished turning a heel. "Now this
Is the cow-bird," she said, ns Teddy looked
up Inquiringly from the next picture.
"Sho is'a very bad mother. She lays her
eggs In some other bird's nest and then
files away and leaves her babies for the
other birds to bring up. All her children
have to bo taken care of by somebody else.
Isn't that naughty?" Teddy meditated
deeply. "Well, I don't know, mother," he
remarked finally, "maybe she does Red
Cross work." NANCY WYNNE.

SCHOOLS EMPHASIZE
FOOD CONSERVATION
tn Cambria County Production
and Saving Keynote of Every
Branch
Mrs, Charles I.ca, chairman of the com
mittee on food conservation and home eco
nomics with the Council of National' Defense,
has found that the schools of Cambria Coun
ty, Pa., teach food conservation with every
lessqn.
The students have thus gained an appre
ciation of the need for Increasing the food
output and avoiding waste that would put
many older folk to shame. Food conserva
tion work i.s the motive In every branch
taught the students.
Mls. Matilda Krebs, pilnclpal of the Johns
town High School, assisted by Miss Cooper,
director of pilmarj work, has Installed a
system by which every class and children of
all ages learn the relation of toods.
For instance. Instead ot the prosaic teach
ing of geography as it Is exploited In text
books, production in rclitlon to cllm.ite, lati
tude and longitude Is the fundamental on
which studv "Hs based.
These are built around ihr same general
subject, drawing Is taught with fruits, meats
and vegetables, and no longer does still life
mean boes, vases and uuuh futile objects.
In every grade of elementarj nnd high
school the relation of foods has vitalized the
viork, and in Cambria County Mrs. Lea finds
the Influence far-reaching, since It extends
from the chlldieu dltcct Into nil homes.

4,900,000 WR GARDENS
IN THE U.S. AID PERSHING
President of National Commission
Predicts 1,500,000,000 Quarts of
Canned Food for Year
The war gardeners of the United States
answered Pershing's call to "keep the frod
coming" There are. according to figures
being tubulated by the National War Garden
Commission, 4, 000,000 war gardens In the
United States
These figures are Incomplete, but they Indi
cate an Increase of 40 per cent over last year
Figuring In the Increased cost this year over
last further estimates will be made by the
commission both on the number nf gardens
and the estimated rrop value.
Taking these tnrly figures Into consider
ation said Charles Lathrop Pack, president
of the commission, in making public the pre
liminary urve, "together with the increased
canning demonstration work being done by
the I'nlted States Department of Agriculture
In I'ltlep nnd towns, we feel safe tn saving
the l.Knn onn.ooo quarts in tin and glass of
canned s-tuff forecast by the department will
be reached
The report points to the early planting sea
son this year, which was made possible by
weather generally favorable throughout the
country To encourage saving the garden
crop the National War Garden Commission,
which plantrd a tno-acre demonstration war
garden at Camp Dlx, N" J , Is offering $10,000
in prizes for the best ennned vegetables
grown In war gardens, with the slognn "Back
up the Cannon by ue of the Canner "
In nearlv every section of the country
there has been an appreciable and encourag
ing Increase In the number ot war gardens
this .vear, the commission announced This
has ranged anywhere front 10 to CO per cent
In the eastern portions there was failure o
note n gali on the arly returns
"The greatest percentage of Increase." the
commission's statement adds, "was in the
central western States nnd Pacific lonst,
taking any one section of the country as a
whole There an awakening has taken place
which revealed Itself In an enthusiastic,
widespread drive to help home food produc
tion Of the total number of war gardens In
the United States the prellmlnar) reports
show that more than 2,000,000 of them
2,27fi,O0O, to be exact were in the centinl
western tenitory. There was a gain of fully
50 per cent over the war garden activity of
last car.
"The eastern States, Including New Eng
land, New York. Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Delaware, on the whole showed little In
crease over last year. In certain parts of all
this terrltor there has been a better show
ing, and particularly has there been a greater
activity among manufacturing concerns In
providing land for their employes , but these
gains have been counteracted to a certain
extent by less activity In other places, so
that the amount of food home-grown along
the upper Atlantic toast this year will ho
slightly if any greater than last year
"Better cultivation in hundreds of caes
may make up for what Is lacking in num
bers. In New York city the park department
alone reports 2000 war gardens 20 by 40
The total number of war gardens In this ter
ritory, as shown by tho reports, is 848,000,
of which 737.000 are In New York, Pennsyl
vania, New Jersey and Delaware
"The South has made an excellent record,
certain States In particular having made no
table gains. Including Texas and Oklahoma
there are a total of 1.24G.OOO war gardenn
in the s-outhern States this year, one-fourth
of the number In the entire United States.
California, Washington and Oregon show a
total of 463,000 war gardens. That the war
