Nancy Wynne Tells of Weddings That Arc in the Planning. ,'
, ,, Mrs. Disston Guest of Her Daughter in Jenkin- 1
1 toivn Grandpa's Surprise 1.
IITCRE
." Wyn
SRE you surprised to hear that Nancy
pnne Cook and Alfred Putnam -were
married today? I was, In a way, But
goodness, It's foolish to be surprised at
any little thing like a wedding these
days, when It Is more usual to be married
after a day or more's decision than It Is
to decide on the date several months ahead,
as in the old days.
Nancy Is the daughter of the Gustavus
Wynne Cooks and a granddaughter of the
Jate Mr. nichard T. Cook. She Is a 'lovely
looking girl: has fair brown hair and soft
large eyes and such a pretty, gentle man
ner. She Is the elder of the two girls,
Emley being about two years younger. She
t made her debut In the fall of 1D16, the sea
son In which the war was declared, and her
engagement to Alfred Putnam was an
nounced late last summer or early fall.
Her mother, who Is a most attractive
woman, was Miss Nannie Bright.
Alfred Putnam is the younger son of Mr.
and Mrs. Earl B. Putnam, of 19 Spruce
street, and Is a nephew of Mr. Charlciagfte
Tower, Mrs. Putnam halng been Miss
Grace Tower. He is a brother of Betty
Putnam, who married Albert Schroedor
several years ago, and of Amelia and Kath
erlne Putnam. The wedding took place at
noon at Wynnemere, the Cooks' place, In
Lansdowne.
ANOTHER wedding which will take place
.In the near future Is that of Miss
Frances Allison. She Is the daughter of
Mrs. Francis Allison and a sister of Cassle
and Molly Allison. With those names you
I:now to whom ?ne Is related, don't you?
For nearly every branch of the Dixon
family has a daughter with those names.
Mrs. Allison was Miss Sophie Dixon and is
a sister of Mrs. Arthur Emlen Newbold,
Mrs. Russell Thayer, who was Molly Dixon;
Mrs. Percy Keating, who was Cassle Dixon;
Mrs. Wilson Sharpies and Mrs. Linton
Landreth. So Frances Is a cousin of Molly
Thayer, Molly Sharpless, Dorothy Newbold,
Margaretta Dixon, Mrs. Clement Waln
wrlght, Mrs. t Edward Norrls, Mrs. Jack
Fagan, who was anottr Cassle Dixon, and
I can't begin to ment'on all the relations.
They aro "too numerous to mention."
Edgar Curzon Poultney Is the bridegroom-to-be,
and from all I konw and have heard
of Frances he Is a pretty lucky man.
I
HEAR that Mrs. William Disston, who
has been staying with Pauline at the
Wanamaker house in Jenklntown, will go
very soon to Newport and will spend the J
summer there, as she did last year. Pauline
Is planning to go up as soon as her small
son is old enough to travel. He Is not
more than ten days old now, ou know,
and It's pretty hot weather. I will wager
that Pauline looks perfectly, sweet with a
baby in her arms. She's a mighty fine
woman. I think. And has a good lot of
common sense tucked' Into her pretty head.
ANOTHER bit of news I hear Is that
. Hoby Porter has gone overseas and
Abbie has returned home and will spend
the summer with her mother, Mrs. Es
monds Austin. Abbio was certainly an
awfully pretty bride, wasn't she? I can't
believe that It's nearly three months since
she was married. Hoby Porter Is a brother
of Andy, you know, and of pretty Mrs.
BlUie Clothier.
HE'S one of the proudest grandfathers
you ever saw and he's so sweet to
his little grandchildren that they love to
be around him. Yes, and ho was so used
to having them all aiound that when little
Sue, who was always particularly affec
tlonate, went away with mother and daddy
for the summer, why, grandfather sud
denly felt very lonely. He stood It for a
few days, but finally he decided he'd Just
run down to the shore where they had their
summer cottage and drop in on them un
expectedly. (They'd told him to do that.
"Come any time," they had said, and Sue
had laughed and clapped her hands.) And
so he did, thinking with glee as he neared
the place of the wonderful bear-hugs and
dear baby kisses little Sue would shower
upon him in the gladdest kind of surprise
ai soon as ever she saw him.
So he walked in, and there, coming dowri
the steps, was Sue herself! Well, was she
surprised or did she evince any signs of
tumbling down the stairs to meet her
"pal"? Not at all. The small Infant de
scended the remainder of the steps without
haste, and walking over to him delivered
the following In a calm, awful whisper:
"We have moths 1"

BALA LIGHTS BURN ON
Electric Company's Clock ami Labor Short
age Cause of Delay
Electric and gas lights In Bala, Cynwjd
and several Main Line communities were
turned on yesterday morning until nearly 8
o'clock. As the sun was shining and an
abundance of daylight was uvnilable, th,re
was considerable speculation nmong residents
as to the cause of the extra Illumination.
Investigation showed that the clock In the
plant of the Bala and Merlon Kiectlio Com
pany, which 'automatically extinguishes the
lights shortly after daybreak, failed to work.
Reports that the lights were still burning
were not made to the company until several
hours later. They were then turned off.
A representative or ,the AVelsbach Street
Lighting Company, which supplies the gas
lights, said the delay In extinguishing the
lights was due to a shortage of men. The
company cannot start to extinguish the
lights until after dawn, he said, and as each

SHIP SOCIETY GROWS
TO BIG PROPORTIONS
Serves to Stir Up Interest in Great
Merchant Marine
Program
Pay ten cents a jenr. wear a small pin In
the shape of a tiny ship and do all jou can
to stimulate the Interest, belief and enthu
siasm of every one you meet In ships and
shipbuilding, the work that has been done
and the work that must be done this Is all
.ion have to do to be a member of tho Ship
Society.
The Ship Soeletv vias founded last April
hi Mrs. Frnncls Howard Williams, of Cer
mantnwii. Since then It has grown to a
membership of more than 11000, and Is likely
to sprend throughout the country.
The members are zealous. If a member
buis twclity-flvo plus nnd sells them, thus
bringing In tvrcsity - file members to the
society, lie becomes a captain. And so tie
thing increases.
The little ship pin, bearing a message from
Pershing, naturally liuite-i curiosity In the
observer, who then nsks questions Thus the
conversation drifts nnturally Into discussions
of shlpinrds, ships and more ships. Then
as often as not nnnther member Is won for
the society, which grows like Alice In Won
dei land, when she nte the mushroom.
The society Is simply a central point for
the starting of propaganda for the shipping
interests, so Important at this time. It has
been warmly approved bj Charles M Schwab
and Edward N Hurlej. both of whom are
vice chairmen of the society Mrs Williams
Is chairman and Mrs. Ida Meachem, 51 East
Penn street, Is treasurer
P0LISH.WHITE CROSS
ASKS SOAP DONATIONS
Troops in France Are Unable to
Procure an Adequate
Supply
Economize in soap! That is, use all that
is vitally necessary, but sale the odds and
ends, those fragments that mark the dwin
dling of a once plump and hardy cake Into a
mere slip.
An appeal has come fiom tho Polish White
Cross, stating that the Polish National Army
in France is facing a famine in soap, and
urging donations of soap or of money with
which to buy it.
Efforts to meet this crisis are being made
In Philadelphia by members of various Polish
teller committees and the Polish recruiting
station.
Money or your soap' This, or words to
tho same effect, is the demand made by
canvassers delegated by the committees to
hunt down soap at private homes At the
headquarters of the comfottn committee of
the Polish White Cross 4000 cakes havo been
recelvid and i-ent overseas.
Actually, of course, swap is plentiful enough
In this country, hut the funds of tho com
forts committee are running low. Since its
Inception In October, 1917, as the Helena
Paderewskl comforts committee, up to the
end of June, this year, the total receipts have
been 59,421, but the great demands nearly
have drained this sum out.
Every report from Franca brings a reitera
tion of Just how much soap and water means
to the men. A seemingly trivial thing (whero
one can revet In It without a thought of Its
luxuriousness), over there its Importance, is
Immeasurable. A bath, and the sense of
cleanliness is almost. If not quite, us great
a stimulant to courage as a victory, nnd
eveiy tlfort is made to give tho men the
chance ot u hot tub and a good BCitibhlng
when they com back from the mlro of the
trenches.
It may sound strange coming after the
deuuindd for men. for ammunition, for air
planes and soap! Hut the men, and the
women, too, who come buck won't smile
about It any more than they will smile
about the men or the ammunition or any
thing vital to the satisfactory outcome or
thi war.
Cleanliness Is an essential In keeping up
the morale ot the men, and the morale of the
men la essential to victory.

WHAT A CONGRESSMAN Si
A ScmitvcckJy Letter Touching on the
familiar to Philadelphians
By J. Hampton Moore
Washington, D. C, July 24.
TN HIS war revenue nddrcss the Prcsl-
dent talked about lobbies. He suggested
that tobbvlsts and prollteers deserved
small consideration nt tho hands of Con
gress. Then Chairman Kltrhln, of the
Ways and Means Committer, talked about
lobbies, nnd mnde some tart allusions to
tho publishers of newspapers. Congress
man Ralney, of Illinois, entered tho field
and accused the jewelers of maintaining
a lobby.
The lobby business Is threadwotn In
Washington, but these new charges drew
fire, together with some pretty strong
i eliminations nnd denials. The Ralney
chaiges, stippnited in measure by Con
giessmiti lingwnitli, of Ohio, grew out
of a tight between chemists nnd tho Jew
elers over tho use of platinum In Jewelry.
It Involved most of tho big Philadelphia
houses, Wilson A Stteeter. vico president
of the Hallo, Hanks . Riddle t'oinpnnv.
being one of tho committee to look after
the Jewrlers' Interests The chemists,
backed up by the Bureau of Mines, en
couraged a number of women to lefuso
to buy platinum jewelry on tho ground
that It would be unpatilotic In vvnr times
to do so.
The jewelers came bark with an indorse
ment of the Department of Commerce,
and considerable testimony that riovcrn
ment orders commandeering platinum for
war purposes had been adjusted to peinilt
of n limited i-nle of that pieclous com
modity. Thev espiessed their willingness
to comply with Clovernment war orders
nt nnv time, but contended that the
ptopaganda of the women, which some
Ooveininent officials opposed, nnd which
others did not, was unfair to n legitimate
business, nnd equivalent to a bnjeott nnd
ultimate confiscation.
At the bottom of the Inquiry was the
desire to conserve platinum for use In
airplane motor construction. One witness
raid It would bo so badlv needed before the
war Is over that the Government would
have to take it out of the people's teeth.
The controversy pioepeded far enough to
show that a Government bureau can work
up a lobby to start backfires under Con
gressmen ns readily n.s Individuals or as
soclatloiis can.
In the publishers' fight, Chairman,
Kltchln contended that a central commit
tee hail stirred up ot gnnbntluns In nil
parts of the country tn petition Congress
In the platinum row It appeared that pi ess
matter vvns going out from tho Bureau
of Mines, nnd that the resolutions of pa
triotic women were being promoted by It
through tho American Chemical Society.
Tho point of view frequently depends
upon whose or Is goied.
