Tea Room on Old York Road to Benefit Red Cross Nancy
Wynne Comments on Moffly-Kdnc Alliance.
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. NANCY WYNNE

700 NURSES HEAR PLEA
FOR THEIR AID IN WAR
Call for 25,000 Volunteers by No
Means Too Large, Says
Miss Delano
"Sixteen thousand nurses will bo needed
for every million soldiers sent abroad. 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.
