0 YOU know that the Victory Service
Star Committee of the Emergency Aid
Pennsylvania whew! another mouthful
a title, Isn't lt7 la going to hold another
immage sale at 1338 Walnut street? They
ive not decided on the date of the sale as
it, but they are sending out circulars
iking for contributions to be sent there
soon as possible; In fact, 'at once,
iy they,
They want hats and shoes and clothes
id bric-a-brac: In fact, anything, and the-
oceeds of the sale are to go towayW
aklng up comfort kits for the drafted
en of this city. So, you sec. It's a very
)od work and one In which most of us
ould like to Join.
There's something so fine about the sol-
ler In his uniform, with his squared
Eoulders and his firm tread and healthy
lor from the outdoor work. Involun-
Hly we cheer them nnd clap as they pass,
Ht you don't hear the people cheering the
raftees. And somehow It's very part to
;e them going off hlggledy-plggedly, an It
ere, some with their families Valuing
longslde, some led by a band, but very
ten with no demonstration at all. And,
fter all, those men are .going to.offer their
ves, too, If the sacrifice Is asked of them.
hey will defend our country and home
nd will look Just as smart and straight
nd fine and ruddy In a few months. They
ught to be cheered and they ought to
ave things done for them on all sides, and
let us wish all success to the Victory
lervlce Star Committee, which has real-
ted the need of comfort for these men
hen they are leaving home, as well as for
tie soldier already made.
Mrs. Louis Rodman Page, who has one
on, Roddy, a major In the army, nnd a
lecond son, Neddy, a captain, Is the chair-
nan of this committee. Mrs. Percy
chandler is vice chairman, Mrs. Stanlty
ItacD. Smith, secretary, and Mrs. W. TUrk-
le" Henry, treasurer. As soon as I know
le date for certain I will let you know, too.
AVE you. seen the summer uniform of
the Junior members of the Navy
Recreation? Really, It Is a recreation to
ee one! The girls look too sweet for any-
hlng In them. They are fashioned of white
llmlty, for dimity, you know, is more dura
)le If not so pretty as organdie, and If one
vears a white uniform one must choose
ne of some material that will wash well.
Well, as I said, they are of white dimity
knd have roll collars of white with an
tndercollar of navy blue lawn and cuffs of
white and blue also. The frocks have wide
Ivhlte sashes and the skirts are finished
vlth very wide hems. They wear their
park blue straw sailor hats and bands of
llbbon embroidered In front with the navy
InslgYita.
WERY ONE has been so- anxious about
Billie Wright, because there have been
bo many conflicting reports In regard to
ktm. First, there was the word that he
vas missing In action, then came word
lhat he was wounded and In France, hut
rlr. Wright has learned through the In
ternational Red Cross that his son Is safe
Miff unhurt In a prison camp of the enemy.
Blllle AVrlght Is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
llnturn Wright, of Chestnut avenue,
Chestnut Hill. His middle name Is Jenks,
Ills mother's family name. She was Miss
Sthel Jenks, a cousin of Mrs. Edward B.
3mtth and John Story Jenks, Jr. His
randfather was William H. Jenks. Billie
Tent to Haverford College, but left there
last April a year ago and entered the
American ambulance field service. He was
at first In Section 18, but when that serv
ice was taken over by our army he was
transferred to Section 642, of the USAAC.
VON'T you feel like a "piker" these days
If you do one stitch of knitting for your
self? Everywhere you look people are
naking socks In dark wool, and you seem
conspicuous If you take out a light blue
or pink sweater and get busy on It. But,
you know, you really have to have some
thing to wear, and If materials are going to
be so expensive, and you can get rrochet
silk for such a pleasant little price, and
llk sweaters are worn, what else can you
do but knit them? Such being the case, a
certain young person put away net- four
needles, and her gray wool for a few days
this week and started on a soft rose color
silk sleeveless, purled to the waist you
know, the regular kind. She lives In Ger-
mantown, and to save for W. S. S. she came
Into town one day In the trolley instead of,
the new electric. There were only two
other people on the car, and she got the
very frontseat of the ones that go side
wise. Gleefully she pulled out the knitting,
nobody was near to see her, and she could
knit her head off without feeling like a
Blacker. She started to purl and, of course,
got the stitch on wrong nnd then dropped
Jt-in trying to straighten It out, agln.' In
the midst of all this tangle she heard foot
steps approaching and to her horror some
body came all the way up to the front of
the car and sat down facing her on the
lengthwise seat. Calming her blushes as
well as possible, she hustled to fix the
Ytltch so that she could put the brilliant
Ilk away. Then, defiantly, she looked
around to see who It was who had caught
!hr In the act and it was a first lieu-
tenant, U. .S. A. It takes forty-five whole
J'Vnlnutes to come In from Germantown, and
Miat officer never moved until lie reached
the Terminal. That Is one rose-colored
fgweater that will be finished In the
'privacy of the home."

Mr. Newlywetl will be struck dumb at the

All th'se things may romp to pass accord
ing to those who are Intel ested either In the
purchasing or the selling of furniture in this
city.
A firm which deals In second-hand furni
ture stated that on Ihe aerage furniture Is
bringing from 50 to 100 per cent higher prices
than it did before the war. A three-piece
set of mahogany furniture, previously bring
ing 'at the most $30, now comes nearer to
$75, while an ordinary oak chiffonier that
used to be costly at $2.50 actually sells for
$12 or more.
The reason seems to be merely' the gen
eral trend of the times, augmented by the
great Influx of outsiders to Philadelphia and
the Immense operations that hae sprung up
around the war-industry centers. All these
persons must have furniture, as must ofllces
of the various shipping boards and the like.
The possibility of ) twentieth century mode
of log-cabin furniture is by no manner ot
means an idle dream. Suffering would-be
purchasers can. testify to that fact.

SALVATION HEROINES
RHAVE GERMAN BOMBS
Two Young Women Remain in Hut Under
Fire t'ntil Ordered to Fall Hark
The story of how two Salvation Army
lassies stuck to their posts in a Salvation
Army but on tho front line In France until
German bombs crashed through tho walls of
the building was told yesterday by Colonel
Richard K. Holz, commander of the Atlantic
coast province.
Tho two women remained In the hut rx
poed to the enemy's fire until tho American
commander ordered them to retire out of
range of tho Gorman guns, when Captain
John Marshall and George RUey, of the Sal-Mitt-jn
Army, look their places.
Tho Incident took place Juno f. and a re
port of It was forwarded to Commander
Hvangellne Booth, In New York, by Cadet
Hnrold Miles, who Is In France on a special
mission, working under the direction of
Colonel William Barker.
"A strangely camouflaged canvass roof was
rigged over the walls of an old barn at A ,
the original roof having been neatly removed
by a blgh-oxploslve German shell." says the
report. "Tho walls wore riddled with bullets
and shrapnel, for there is hardly a moment
when the guns are not speaking. The oilier
night a fragment of shell tore through the
wall loss than a font above the spot where
tho girls had been hut a moment before.
' When matters became this serious they
moved out and worked tho rest of the night
standing In several Inches of water. A small
caliber shell smashed directly through an
old kitchen table In the room, but did no
othei damage. This was followed by furious
gas attacks and artillery file. Tho military
authorities ordered' tho women to fall further
hack, and they reluctantl.v did so.
"Immediately Captain John Marshall and
George Riley, of our organization, who had
been In a hut that was demolished by nemy
shellfiie and who had been serving troops
behind sand bags piled high, at once took the
places of the women. When last heard from
they were at their posts serving the troops,
while remnants of the but nnd dugout were
being merrll.v shelled "

v Isions, hut have only worked out half of
them. Benjamin Franklin, your first pred
ecessor had nothing to do in comparison
with what ou have had to do. N'o other
man save our mlghtv and wise President
has had such a difficult responsibility to
meet as youiself careless commercial peo
ple having, blindly Ignored the hardships
of postal management with railroad and
other tianportntin crippled for rolling
stock, coal and other war necessities, abso
lutely requiring profotenco In movement.
Your work as Postmaster General will
stand out as a masterpiece of excellence,
considered in the light of facts. As the
oldest Postmaster General now living, for
myself and tens of thousands of business
people, we call upon you, Mr. Postmaster
General, to receive our hem diction.

You are doing great serv Ico In standing
so faithfully by our great President.
