-Hei! Cross Meeting to Be Held
in Chelten Hills Robert W. Darnel Commissioned as
I Captain in Quartermaster's Department
THERE Is to be a bis Red Cross meeting
out at "Laburnums," tho beautiful old
Bharpless place at Chelten Hills, which
olnce the death of Mrs. Sliarplcss Is occu
pied by her daughter, Mrs. Itobcrt Sturgls
and Illta Sturgls. Mrs. Sturgls lives In
New Tork In the winter and moves to
Laburnums In the spring of each year.
The meeting on July 19, In other words
next Krlday afternoon, Is to be held under
tho auspices of the now wnlt a minute
nnd take a long breath Ogontz and Hunt
ingdon Valley Branch of the Southeastern
Chapter of the American Red Cross, and
Miss Mary Llpplncott Is chairman, and
Mrs. George Lorlmer and Mrs. Fred Morris
are vice chairmen. Mrs. John Newbold
and Mrs. Corblt Loverlng and Mrs. S. H.
Cross and all the others who are Inter-,
csted will be thcro.
Mrs. John White Geary, who Is chairman
of the Red Cross membership committee at
headquarters In town, will preside at the
meeting, and there will be music by tho
combined choirs of Calvary and All Hal
lows Churches In Wyncote.
It's really going to be Immensely Inter
esting. Miss Emily and Miss Hetty Smith,
sisters of the late Edward B. Smith, who
have been abroad for some little time, will
tell of their experiences "over there" In
their work with the American Fund for
French Wounded. And Mrs. Henry
Loomls, of Tuxedo Park, will talk, too, and
will tell of her work In the American
Ouvrolr In Paris.
It sounds awfully Interesting to me. And
the Invitation Is a general one. Every
one who is Interested In tho Red Cross may
go, and, let me tell you, It's one wonderful
house to go to.
Such furniture! Real antiques! Abso
lutely lovely! I think it's wonderful of
Mrs. Sturgls to open her house for the
purpose.
I HEAR Robert V. Daniel, of Roscmont,
has received a captain's commission In
the Jnanco division of the Quartermaster's
Department and left for Washington last
week. They say there Is a possibility of
his going over shortly. He seems to bo a
man with a charmed life, as the saying
goes. But Isn't it true, rome people 'hav"
a faculty for going safely through terrible
accidents. Mr. Daniel, for Instance, was
In the Carlton Hotel fire in London and
only escaped death by sliding down a rope
from his window. At that time he lost all
that he had with him money, papers,
clothes and so on. He had Just nbout re
covered from that when he took passage on
the Titanic and was picked up from that
wreckage by a boat. I should think
France and the battlefields would almost
seem tame to him after such experiences
as those.
You know he met his wife in the rescue
from the Titanic. Ho was at tho dance
nt the Merlon on the night of the Fourth,
and he certainly looked stunning In his
uniform. Channlng Daniel, his brother, is
already In France with a field artillery
division. He married Katherlne Verncr,
of Wayne, you remember. The Dalnels
come from Richmond, Va. Their mother,
Mrs. James V. Daniels, lives (here now.
ITS awfully easy' to take care of an
apartment, but even In seven rooms
you sometimes forget tho windows when
It looks rainy. That is, you are apt to, but
then you don't always have the excuse that
Ethel had on Sunday. You remember the
way It rained Just about 5 o'clock on
Sunday? Well, Ethel and her family were
going out to supper and as Ethel was busy
listening to (he story of how a certain
young man in khaki had won the three
stripes on his sleeves, mother arid father
left the house before she did, and told her
to be sure to lock the kitchen door and
window, and all the necessary and uninter
esting things like that. Ethel remarked
vaguely that she would, and the fascinat
ing story went on. It was clear then, but
eomo time later the thunder began to roll
and then tho rain started. Father wondered
uneasily whether they ought to telephone
to Ethel to be bure to close the windows
before she started. Mother said no; that
Ethel had sense enough to do that. So
they took a chance. And Ethel, some time
later, put on her best hat, found an um
brella somewhere, dutifully locked the
kitchen door and set sail for the train with
the sergeant looking very foolish carrying
the umbrella. During supper some one said
something about windows, and mother
noticed a strange look on Ethel's face.
"Didn't you close the windows?" she Im
mediately wanted to know. "Nary a
window," but I locked the kitchen door."
Fortunately it cleared up before they
started home, and by the time they got
there the wlndowsllls were almost dry,
and the pillows on the window-seat in
Ethel's room had stopped dripping, but the
dining-room rug was a wreck. But really,
you know, you can't .expect anybody to
think about clos.lng windows Just after
hearing how he became a sergeant, can
you?

BUSINESS MEN TO
WEED NURSERIES
Central North Philarlclphians to
Help Owner of Greenhouses
on Thursday
Central North Philadelphia business men
will give patriotic service on Thursday In an
unusual hut very useful way. The Idea orig
inated with Mr Max Kauffmann, who
chanced to visit the greenhouses nnd nur
series of Mr. Harry S Betz, at I" street and
Wyoming avenue, and found that Instead of
the twenty-five joung men who formerly as
sisted Mr. Betz there were only four work
ers, the others having gone to war, It Is
.almost impossible to hire men for farm and
garden work and. of course, the enemy of
plant' nurseries Is weeds, nnd when this
enemy gains headway It Is In a fair way
of Injuring-tho plants, so Mr Kauffmann.
after weeding a. few yards to see how It
would go, suggested that it would be not
only a neighborly, but a patriotic duty to
orgnnlze a brigade of workers from the
Central North Philadelphia Business Asso
ciation to go up to the nurseries to fight the
enemv. One hundred business men volun
teered at once for duty, and a committee
consisting of Mr. Max M. Baab, chairman :
Mr. John K. Hackman, Mr. r. F. Prlntzhorn,
Mr. Harry Heebner, Mr. Charles Prostel, Mr.
Joseph Sears and Mr. Kauffman was ap
pointed to complete arrangements for the
work. Tho selected men will meet at 7
o'clock on Thursday morning at the Betz
floral shop. Eleventh street and Lehigh ave
nue, and go to the scene of action in auto
mobiles. There will be no special style In
uniforms, for any old kind of overalls will
serve. A number of men familiar1 with the
plants will act as captains and direct the
groups of workers. Prizes of plants will bo
given to the teams doing the best work. Mr.
Betz will have charge of the commissary de
partment. Among the men enlisted for the day's serv
ice are Mr. Joseph B. Deppen, Dr. J. Sic

FOR THOSE AT SKA
O Lord, be telth us ichen we sail
Upon the lonely deep.
Our Ounrd, when on the silent deck
The midnight watch wc keep.
ire need not car, though ail around
Mid rfaliii; tclnds trc hear
The multitude of waters surge;
For Thou, O Qod, art near.
The calm, the brecse. the gale, the storm
That pass from land to land.
All, all are Thine, are held within
The hollow of Thy hand
i
If duty calls from threatened strife
To guard our native shore, ,
liirf snot and shell are answering
The booming caniion's roar,
le Thou the mairquard of our host
Till war and dangers cease;
Defend the right, put up the sword.
And through the world make peace.
Across this troubled tide of life
Thyself our pilot be.
Until we teach that better land
The land that knows no sea.
To Thee the Father, Thee the Son,
Whom earth and sky adore.
And Spirit moving on the deep
Be praise for evermore. C.
