Other Subjects Talked Of T TOLD you the othor day about the Allied Tea Room which has been started down at Capo May, did I not? Well, did you know that there's one out on tho Old York road? Yes, my dears, gotten up by the Ogontz and' Huntingdon Valley Branch of tho H.cd Cross. It's on tho Old York road Itself, and It's open ullday, and the different women who aro running It act as waitresses! The proceeds aro all to go to tho Red Cross, and It's qulto a delight ful little place. And In, as one of the women Interested in It told me, quite a strategic position, right on tho turnpike or thoroughfare, of that wholo long stretch of country. It's most attractively gotten up, and has tho dearest curtains nt tho windows and pretty painted furniture and odd things about tho rooms. It's very much on the order of Penn Cottage, over on tho Main Lino, you know, and I understand Is run the same way, only this one Is dis tinctively for the Red Crojs. But by that, understand me, I do not mean that tho patrons must be Red Cross members On the contrary, It Is open to every ono who passes, and every one is to bo encouraged to go in and lunch or tea or sup at any hour, but tho proceeds aro to go to the Red Cross entirely. Mrs. Voorhees Drayton and Mrs. John Gilbert and all those who ato great Red Cross workers out there are deeply Inter ested In the undertaking, and It has been running now for some time and Is dolnc "N beautifully. ITHAT did I tell you you announce ' your engagement one day und you aro married the next! And this Is tho truth, almost literally speaking, In regard to Audrey Kane and Jack Moffly, though I believe they did havo two duys between the engagement and w.cddlng. Tho en gagement was announced on Monday after noon and tho date of tho wedding yester day und tho wedding took placo today. I hear the nicest things about Audrey Kane on all sides. She's been down In Baltimore studying in Johns Hopkins Hospital for the last two years, you know, and uhe'll be awfully useful to her country novy if she takes up nursing for tho Red Crobs, which I hear is her Intention. She can not go abroad as a nurse, now she has a husband who is going, but It's very well to have tho training for any emergency. Her sister Miriam has Just come back, you know, from a year or two over there in Paris and Nevers. She was In an Kng llsh hospital at Nevers and at the Light houso In Paris. Tho Rev. Stewart Keeling performed tho ceremony today at noon, and Miriam Kane v and Lieutenant Karl Dodgo wero tho at tendants. "VJEWPORT Is beginning to get very gay, 1 and all sorts of philanthropic enter- talnments are In the wind. On Saturday afternoon of this' week society as lepre sented there will turn out for a theatrical event, "Three Acts," which will be given by tho Amateur Comedy Club, of Now York, at the Casino. The proceeds will bo given for the benefit of the Frcebod Park Athletic Field for tho men In the service, and most of tho women In Newport have given their names as patronesses of the affair, chief among them being Mrs. Henry Clews, Mrs. "V. Storrs Wells and Mrs. Pembroke Jones. Another event on Saturday will be the recital to be given at Harbounvlew, Mrs. French Vanderbilt's villa on the Cliffs, and this will be for the Red Cross. So you bee no matter where you aro this year you can get Into Red Cross work either actively In the workrooms or contrlbutlvely (don't you like that word?) in the ballroom. It all helps and it's all good. Mrs. Alexander Hamilton Rice, formerly Mrs. George D. Widener, of Elklns Park, is among the women Interested In tho Red Cross benefit. T1TITH all the manifold duties devolving upon mothers" who are conserving labor at the present day and- the real dlf-, Acuity to get and keep maids, too, is it any wonder that occasionally they aro overtaken by absent mlndednoss? A short time ago In a suburban church, where each member knows every other member and looks for the familiar faces In the family pews each week, Mrs. D sat with a serene and smiling countenance listening to the rector read tho scrip tural lesson for the service. Devotion wus pictured on the face of each one. Sud denly Mrs. D.'s facial muscles contracted, she gasped and hurried from her front pew Hor daughter, who was In tho choir facing the congregation, seeing mother leave so hurriedly, did likewise. Then Mrs. D.'s sister, over in the middle of the right aisle, felt her heart sink with fear. Mrs. D must be sick, and very sick at that, and so up started sister in a hurry, and as she hastened to the door her daughter wondered what could bo the mat ter, and she followed tho others. By this tlmo an usher in the back pew, keeping a watchful eye on the congrega tion, though he had better go, too, for fear Mrs. D might need his services In securing a physician. Now, Mrs. D lived but a few blocks from the church in an apartment, and, as she was a very quick person, she raced along', never looking back, and so arrived a few minutes before her five followers. She ....... i;,Sv rusnea into tno House as daughter stepped onto the porch calling, "What is the mat ter, mother?" Mother turned off the gas In the range, looked In the stewpot and Bhouted Joyously, "Thank goodness I got here In time to Bave It!" She had a stewing chicken that she had J placed on the range to cook while she made the beds and dressed for church, and the cooking chicken passed out of he'r mind until the clergyman read, "How often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings!" That was nough for mother, ., VYJth no thought of, place, preacher nor "of.frlenda In the pews, she Btarted at once f'C tt.rMCh her kitchen in a record-hreaklncr 1tm' Q pours, the eWous church mm- r . '-i-4 ;-. V .. t A. And her relatives did not leturn. And, of course, as "all's well that ends well," every other anxious and maldlcss house keeper was glad that Mrs. D saved tho chicken.

Gen eral Pershing has Informed the War De partment. According to this percentage the Government should send more than the 15,000 sought from the present call." This Is tho message Miss Jane Delano, di rector of the division of nurses for the United States Government, told 700 Phila delphia nurses yesterday afternoon In the ballioom of tho Bcllevue-Stratford Miss Delano, Dr. Charles D. Hart, chair man of the nurses' campaign In the Phila delphia district, and George Wharton Pep per, whose patriotic speeches have given inspiration to many persons during the present crisis, were the speakers who dis cussed the campaign plan. Mrs. John W. Geary, vice chairman of tho campaign, pre sided. The marlno band plajed national airs at' Intervals during the piogram, which opened with a presentation of the film, "Spirit of the Red Cross." "Wo want to enlist as many nurses as possible," said Miss Delano, "not merely for foreign service, but to take places In hos pitals In this country; to go out as nurses by the hour and Into Industrial Institutions where a nurso Is needed. Women who have married and are prevented by home ties from crossing the ocean can give such service as that. "It Is optional with the nurse whether she go Into the army or the navy : w hether sho shall go abroad or stay at home. But It Is the duty of nil nurses to place them Belves In tho hands of their Government to bo assigned to duty In this crisis." "Already the evil work of the German propagandist is showing Itself In opposition to the campaign for nurses," Doctor Hart said in the courso of his address, which ex plained the rules of the army In reference to the Red Cross nurse The splendid mission of the Red Cross nurse was also eulogized by George Wharton Pepper at the close of his Impassioned ad dress calls for enrollment resulted In a num ber of Inquiries and definite promises of en rollment from nurses present.
