fST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Service House at Chestnut Hill
Places Nancy Wynne Tells of Doings at
Valley Forge
lHEItE certainly Is a. lot going on these
' days In Chestnut Hill. It's quite one
bf the busiest of the suburbs in point or
vflr work. Anil as for the Service House
Bit Germantown avenue, well, its tne
bus-ls-l-est little house I ever saw. Most
m. the work done by the various fled Cross
workrooms out at Chestnut Hill goes
through the Service House ns a sort of
clearing house. And every week In fact,
rtnce or twice a week they have speeches
nd addresses there by various men nnd
vomcn.
On Friday night Mr. John lhldcr gave a
nost Interesting talk on wartime housing
plans. The lecture -was illustrated nnd
there was quite a large attendance. The
pr66eedsare to be devoted to reconstruc
tion work In France.
1HEN, have you eer gone to the com
munity market at Evergreen and Ger-
nantown avenues? Everybody 'goes each
I Saturday, and It's quite remarkable what
delicious fresh vegetables grown In the
v'ar gardens may be bought. In fact. It's
quite a lesson In patriotism these days to
go through the country in car nr train
and see the men and women, too, working
In their gardens: thinning lettuce, pulling
weeds, picking string beans and string
beans, then some more string beans, and
again string bean!
Did you ever In all jour lite see m many
It trine beans? "Posllutcly," I've eaten so
many lately I'm ashamed to look one In
Ithe face.
Why on earth do you suppose they grow-
so profusely yon coum not possiDiy eai
them all? AVhy, also, do you suppose that
peas and lima beans, do not grow as plen
tifully, when they taste so much better
than those faithful old string beans? I
could make an awful pun there, but I'll
spare you. It's the middle of July, and
even If It Is not as hot as blazes, it's a
bit of exhausting kind of weather, and it
might' prove fatal it you go too awfully
mad 'about It. Don't jou think I am a
kindly soul? I do.
"XTOU know the little new baby at the
- Stevens MecKscners in Hirnnorei was
Christened yesterday. The ceremony took
place In the Washington Memorial Chapel
at Valley Forge, where there Is a beautiful
nemorial to Stevens Heckbcher's first wife.
who was Nannie Brown.
You know Mr. Heckscher married Mrs.
Mark Hopkins about a year and a half
EBO. She was formerly uvvinuya irosuy.
of New York. Both Mr. and M-s. Heck
icher had children by their former mar
riages and now they have this dear little
baby of their own. She was named Eliza
beth Crosby, after her great-.grandmother.
and her grandmother, Mrs. T.,. G. Crosby,
and young Rita Heckscher, her half-sister,
were the godmothers, while Frederick
Crosby, of New York, a brother of Mrs.
Wckscher. was the godfather.
r,npoctor Burk, who is rector of the Me
morial Unapei, periormeu me ceit-muiiy
.that made the little one a Christian. And
later Mr. and Mis. Heckscher gave an in
formal breakfast at their Strafford home
for the families and a few Intimate friends.
Among the guests were Dr. and Mrs.
Joseph Packard Laird, Mr. and Mrs. Led
yard Heckscher, Mrs. Thomas Learning,
mother of the first Mrs. Heckscher; Miss
M. K. Baker, Mr. Gustave Heckscher and
one or tw;o others. ,
it was very gay at Valley Forge yester
day, generally speaking. The boys from
.the marine camp at l'aoll went over to
headquarters to celebrato the Fall of the
Bastille. And special exercises were held
in the( chapel.
Among the women I noted there were
Mrs. George Rosengarten, Mrs. W. Wllmer
Hpopes, Ellen Mary Cassatt, Mrs. EeTward
Newton, Mrs. Herbert Bell, Mrs. C. C.
Harrison and various others,
YOU remember when Lieutenant Fla
chalre and Lieutenant Farre were here,
the, former with his airplane, the latter
! with his remarkable paintings, and there
was a large reception for them at the
Bellevue after the exhibition of the paint
ings? Everybody was delighted with both
of them and so thrilled with the pictures
and with Flachalres flying out at Belmont
Plateau. Will you ever forget those
breath-taking loops and dives and tuns
that he took? Well, Chlcano Is enjoying
all that now. Lieutenant Farre has his
paintings ollt there at the Art Institute
fend Lieutenant Flachatre has been making
flights over tfte city. Saturday was
"Sfothers of Aviators Day" at the exhibit.

It Is a common theory that storms strike
terror to the aveiace woman's heart, but

table nnd equally brilliant cat rots, ihubatb
and fitsh vegetables from the other.
Of course, there were umbrellas-. Two huge
and gayly striped ones stood in the center
of the 'market, but the busy workers didn't
ven try to stay under the shelter. Assisted
bv Girl nnd Boy Scouts, they answered with
equal grace the wants of the pedestrians and
the motorists who clamored for the dellclous
lv tresh-looklng tilings.
Mrs. Robert Glcndlnning, who hovered over
the flower table arranging sweet pens, golden
glow, corn flowers and all the other homy
looking flowers In one guirgeous spectucle,
admitted that many of them came from her
own garden.
"I spent seveial houis cslcrday evening
picking them," she said, "ami was up at C
o'clock this morning to finish."
All of the (lowers and vegetables nic do
nated as the surplus ai tides grown In homo
gardens of the iielghboihood. The women ale

HORSE SHOW TO BE HELD
AT BRYN MAWR IN FALL
Sports Carnival of Last Year
Likely to Be Repeated in Detail
in October
llr. Thomas O. Ashtnn. who was" chairman
of Devon's first war-relief Horse Show, held
at Devon June fi, 7 and 8 for the benefit of
the Main I.lne hrnneh of thP Kmergency Aid,
yesterday repotted to Mrs. Charlton Yarnall,
head of the Kmergency Aid on the Mnln Line,
that he would have between 18000 and $9000
tn turn over to her, ns the profits ot the
show, for her organization.
The Devon show was abandoned tbli ear
hy the regular organization, but was quicWy
reorganized by the new committee, vihloh
consisted of fir Thomas O. Asliton. Mr. Wil
liam II. Wanamnker. Jr. Mr. -William du
Pont, Jr., nnd Mrs Victor V. Mather.
This committee announced Its belief that
the show linrsf of the country should help
win the war by earning money for war-relief
purposes and kindred objects of war work,
and that they have succeeded ro handsomely
in bringing such a large sum to the coffers
of the Kmergency Aid has delighted them Im
mensely, Mrs. Yarnall being particularly
pleased vvltli the result brought to her or
ganization. It villi doubtless astonish en those fa
miliar with the ttemendous amount ot effort
connected with giving a successful horse
show to learn that In the .vear 1917 the horse
sIioms of the cntintr turned over to the Red
Cross and kindred organizations interested
In the furtherance of viar-rellef work more
than $150,000.
As a matter of fact, the horse ahow pro
moters of the country, Immediately upon
America's declaration of war, determined
that their associations would continue giving
exhibitions In order to effect a twofold pur
pose, the first ot which is to aid both man
and beabt on the fighting fronts of Kurope,
wlille the second object is to maintain Intact
the wonderful show horse stable! of the
Tnlted States, both of which objects i-o fnr
have been attained. Owners of show horses
have paid strict attention to war economy by
vieedlng out from their stables those horses
which were undesirable and therefore not to
be tolerated as an expense, which was ac
cepted ns a matter of inurse in pre-war dajs.
This Is as tiue of celebrated strings
thinughoiit the country as well as right here
in l'hlladehihl.i. where, because of tho im
petus and Interest the continuation ot thc-e
war-relief horse shows ban stimulated, all
the good horses have been retained In the
many celohiated stables of Philadelphia and
vletnlt, while thoe which were not desir
able liave been disposed of by public or pi I
v.ite sale.
So far In 1D18 the results of this determi
nation upon the part of horse-show ns.-oel-atlons
throughout the country and particu
larly in the Kast have justified the measure
beyond the most sanguine ixpectations ot
the spoitsman-llke mm and women who have
promoted and purchased horse shows.
The IirooKljn Show produced $15,000, Dur
land's Show In New York city produced
$10,000, the Philadelphia Indoor Horse Show,
held till-? year in Hie First City Troop Ai
mory. pioduccd $9500, while the first Devon
viar-iellef Horse Show produced $8500, al
ready a total of $43,000 for four shows hi
the Kast, with a big show just brought to a
most successful conclus-lon In Chicago, all
of which gots to show that owners of show
horses eveiy where are good sportsmen, will
ing to turn over the money that tneir norscs
earn to help win the war, where in former
years such moneys came to them in a large
measure In the form of cash prizes.
Another feature which had its impetus
through the inspiration ot a unman has
raised a total of $15,150 for the benefit of
the horses which are bearing their full share
of the burden of war for universal llbeia
tlon. This was the donation bv Miss Kllza
hetli Toey. of Brooklyn, N. V., of the
beautiful taddle mare Virginia, which Miss
Tousey had raised herself, to be auctioned
for the benefit of the Itcd Cross at the
tliooklyn Hoise Show, where (-.he brought
$4300 and was promptly turned over by the
successful bidder again to be auctioned at
Durl.ind's Show, where she biought $5800.
She was again turned over by her new
owner lo Mrs. Walter i. Hancock, chairman
of the Philadelphia Indoor Horse Show, and
auctioned off for the sum of $350, which was
djyott-d to the purchase of an ambulance to
be sent to Oencral Pershing as the gift of the
show to be devoted to the lellef of injured
war horses on the western front Mr. Janus
llobinson, who won the mare at the Indoor
Horse Show, turned her over to the tlret
Devon war-rcllef Hoise Show, where hho
brought $1600.
It is predicted that this famous mare,
which will be auctioned at Long Hrancli and
succeeding shows this summer and fall, will
raise a total of $15, 000, every dollar of which
