7ST GOSSJPjABOUT PEOPLE
f Nancy Wynne Is Interested in the
Nevins Patterson and Lieutenant Crockett Return of
Lieutenant Newhall Mrs. Goodwills Death
r
"T IS interesting to hear of the engage
ment of Rebecca Patterson, which was
announced last week by her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Robert M. Patterson, of Blacks
burg, Va to Lieutenant Joseph Mcgavock
Crockett, now with the Eighth Regiment,
F. A. R. D., at Camp Jackson, S. C.
Becky U well known here In Plilladel
nhla. as her fnmllv lived here for a number
r' of years before returning to Virginia. She
madn her tlphut about five years ago In
Virginia, but has visited here once or
IC.- twice yearly. The Pattersons come of an
I S(- old and distinguished southern family and
v made many friends during their stay In
Philadelphia. Mr. Patterson Is connected
with the Pennsylvania Railroad. Rebecca
. was educated at the Convent of the Sacred
Heart, Arch street, and in Manhattanvllle,
N. Y. Her sister became a nun In that
same society several years ago. One
brother, Otis Patterson, was ordained a
priest In this city recently and another
brother Is a Jesuit scholastic. The whole
family Joined the Catholic Church some
fifteen years ago.
I AM so glad for Mrs. Newhall and the
bbys that Lieutenant Newhall is to bo
stationed here for a time. There Is so
much separation brought about by the
war these days among people who care
much for each other that It la a happiness
to hear of the return, even for a time, of
some one from "over there" to his family.
Tom Newhall, who Is a lieutenant In the
navy, has been stationed In Scotland for
some tlmo In the transportation service,
and Mrs. Newhall had no Idea that he
would return for some time to come. So
the surprise was a doubly joyful one, In
that ho has returned and has been ap
pointed to remain on this side for a while.
I'm awfully glad, aren't you? Naughty
Nancy, you mustn't say "awfully," be
cause It Is -not good grammar used that
' Way; but then you like to say It, don't
you? thought so.
ABOUT the only entertainments you
hear of In town nowadays are the ones
given for the soldiers and sailors or the
one3 given by the people who have to be
at home because they are working In war
occupations, and they certainly do need
and deserve the relaxation. And so every
Thursday night the employes of the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation who live at the
Community House at Forty-first and
Chestnut streets give a "social," consist
ing of dancing, music and singing. The
house beloriged to the Charles King Fran
cis estate and was rented furnished by
Mr. C. Frank Klrby, head of the transpor
tation department, as a home for his em
ployes, and they are enjoying it thoroughly.
,Each member of the "family," as they call
themselves, invites a few friends to the
-party each week, and the entertainment Is
under the direction of Mr. Edgar Ward,
of Boston. It is an awfully Interesting
crowd, for there are people there from
Nebraska, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut
and almost every State in the Union. They
all think that Philadelphia is rather a
V good place to bo In if you're away from
homo; but of course Now York is just as
good a home as Seattle, Wash., and tho
discussions are many and varied.
T.AM sorry to have to tell you of the
death of Mrs. Harold Goodwin. I only
heard a few djiys ago of her death, which
occurred a little more than two weeks ago.
She was a Miss Mcllvolne, you know, and
married Mr. Spencer a number of years
ago.- Ho was a relative of Mr. John
Thompson Spencer (a brother, if T am not
mistaken), and Mrs. Spencer was a sister
of the late Bloomflcld McIIvalne, the first
"' husband of Mrs. B. Frank Clyde. About
? ten years ago Mrs. Spencer, then a widow,
;, married Mr. Goodwin. She Is survived
iv y three daughters Katherine Spencer,
who married Evan Taylor; Julia, who
- married Charles Marshall and now lives In
t Virginia, and Elizabeth or. Bessie, who
married James Slaughter and lives in Vir
ginia also. In Mrs. Goodwin's death we
see the passing of another link to an old
fe .and well-known family of this city.
rSt"
A COUSIN JOHN had arrived from Harris-
v - burg to pay a visit. The family hadn't
H seen, Cousin John for a long time and they
V were discovering that he knew a great
J many of their friends out there. So all
p the grown-ups sat around and wanted to
y know, "Cousin John, do you know Mrs.
h This, and Miss That, and the fascinating
Eleanor Something Else?," and so on, for
fc what seemed hours to little Dorothy.
j Little Dorothy was about twelve and small
jo for her ago, so everybody was in the habit
Jf of seeing and not hearing her. That was
lu all right, ordinarily, but little Dorothy had
some very good friends in Harrisburg and
she wanted to get in on this "Do-you-krtow"
business. So she sat in impatient silence
as long as she could stand it, white the
talk went on about all these unusual,
hard-to-pronounce names that she had
never heard of. Finally the strain became
too much and in the midst of a little lull
while the rest of the family were tiying
to think up more people to ask about,
little Dorothy aroso and turned with a
& great air and much swish or short, tucked
2 skirt to Cousin John. "Do you know," she
asked politely, "any people named Smith
la Harrisburg?" NANCY WYNNE.

BRITONS WELCOME YANKEES
U. S. Soldiers Warmly Greeted In England,
Writes Jack Coombe
Old Britain Is giving our boys in khaki
notable receptions and extending a welcome
that Is not a bit less enthuslusttc than that
accorded to them when they passed In re
vlfjv before loving friends and relatives In
their home cities.
This much, which ought to please the folks
at home, Is emphasized tn a letter from
Jack Coombe, an Evening Public Ldoer
reporter, now serving as a Y. M. I. A. secre
tary in one of the American camps In Eng
land. Describing a trip which he made to a sea
port resort with 700 of our bos In olive
drab, Jack Is warm In his praise for the
Britishers.
"Never did I walk dr march through
streets so well decorated," writes Jack. "I
say that recalling many beautiful decora
tions in Philadelphia and other Pennsylvania
towns and cities. The Mayor of the city that
played host was apparently determined to
prove that tho city Intended to give us the
best time possible. He made good, too.
"At the City Hall tho Americans were
greeted by the Mayor and his assistants.
No such patriotic speech and one tilled with
brotherly love did I ever hear. The American
soldiers stationed In England are ery happy
and anxious to get across the channel. The
men I am with have played baseball In a
score of towns, and it takes all my time
booking up games."

BIG DRAFT MOVEMENT
FROM HERE IS BEGUN
Vanguard of 10,000 Who Will
Leave State This Week
Started
Probably the healest movement of drafted
men from Philadelphia districts to arIous
National Army cantonments since the war
began was well under way today with the
departure this morning of 664 white men for
Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S. C. ; 312
for limited-service training at Syracuse. N.
Y and 1285 negroes for Camp Sherman. O.
These contingents constituted the vanguard
of 10,000 drafted men called for from Penn
sylania during the present week. Fie hun
dred and forty negroes left the city yester
day for the Ohio camp.
Tomorrow morning lrtually eery draft
district In Philadelphia will contribute men
to a contingent of 600 white draftees, who
will be sent to Camp Wadsworth, Spartan
burg, S. C Others will follow in the next
few days.
AfTectlng scenes marked the departure of
draftees leaving today. Great crowds gather
ed at the stations to bid them farewell and
godspeed. More interest than usual was at
tached to thlr departure because of the
doubt whether any of the men will be per
mitted to return o their homes here on leave
before they are sent overseas. Contingents
recently sent from Philadelphia In some in
stances have been embarked for France after
a very short training period.
March to Kurly Trains
The negroes sent to Camp Sherman today
entrained at the North Philadelphia station
of fhe Pennsylvania Railroad, wljere thou
sands of their race cheered them as their
special. train pulled out. White men drawn
for limited sen-Ice left from the Beading
Terminal at 8:31 o'clock. Others bound for
Camp Wadsworth and full active Bervlce de
parted over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
from the station at Twenty-fourth and
Chestnur streets. In the case of each con
tingent, members of the draft boards marched
with them to the places of entralnment, as
well as relatives and friends. Bands enliven
ed lagging .spirits and hushed the sobs of
weeping mothers, wives and sweethearts.
Among the drafted men themselves there was
apparent a eplrlt of confidence and an abid
ing faith In ,the ultimate triumph of the
cause whose banners they were taking up. .
Tomorrow's contingent of white men for
Camp Wadsworth will leave from the North
Philadelphia station of tho Pennsylvania
Railroad at 10:40 o'clock and will arrive at
the cantonment at 9:40 o'clock Wednesday
morning.

WAR GARDENS PRODUCE
NO FOOD SURPLUS HERE
Crops Abundant, hut Arc Con
sumed by Small Growers
Soon After Harvest
The doctrine of the clean plate ha been
adopted with such lgor b the a rim of
small gardeners from the schools that there
has been jn far no complaint of creat sur
plus from the actes of school garden"
In spite of the fact that these gardens hae
on the whole been ery successful, and the
nops hae shot up In sjrprlslng abundance,
the long, neat rows of vegetables disappear
without leaving a loot.
In each plot of one of the big gardens,
that at the Carroll School, were planted three
rows of corn, one of Swiss chard, i-eeral
rows of beans, radishes, Kohlrabi, carrots
and beets.
Th.- appetites of the laborers In the process
of raising these abundant harvests develop
In proportion, and are more than able to
cope with the produce.
Many of the gardens are now at the height
of their season and bear reallv Impressing
witness to the fact that the iThlldren have
learnt exquisite orderliness. Keen competi
tion has resulted In the production of aston
ishingly fine ears of corn, smooth, firm rad
ishes, beets and carrots.
With the prospect of one's fellow laborer
carrying oft the palm, such a thing as a
potato bug at large or a wandeiing weed
cannot be vonsldered, and the sun may peel
the skin off by Inches before one of the chil
dren will leave his plot In lmperfectcondl
tlon. In addition to picking and eating the vege
tables the children are now taking lessons
In canning: small girls find an ancient de
light in holding mlnlatuie canning parties
like those of their busy motheis. and are no
less zealous, although perhaps the early le
sults are not ho happy.
One looking over some of the gardens is
hardly conscious of a lack of flowers. A
111 tie earlier In the summer the small blos
soms of many of the plants were often quite
as beautiful as the choice blooms of finicky
old gardeners.
A new brand of pea bore a pale lavender
blosJom which not only rivaled the sweet
pea In color, but even had an amazingly
sweet perfume.
The cultivators of freak flowers, such as
green carnations nnd black tulips, ought to
be able to find some pleasure In great, smooth
silvery green heads of cabbage that might
easily he taken for giant freak loses.
Variety of color is compensated by limit
less shades of green ranging from the pale,
flimsy hue of early lettuce to the deep gieen
of beet tops, and while the esthete may
deelaie with moans that these humble
kitchen plants lack the perfume of the lil
and the lose, one may soothe hlin bv telling
him to wait until the cook gets through with
them.
WAR NOT ALLOT;
PERUSE OVER HERE
Soldier Magazine From France
Proves Uniform Is Only Drab
Part of Army Life
If vie are to believe the lime-honored
adage that a man Is safe as long as he
retains his sense of humor, then we are
wasting time worrying about the khaki-clad
boys in France.
A copy of Over Here, a i-oldler magazine
published at one of the American armv bases
In France, has reached the Kveniko Public
Ledger, nnd in this unique publication of
twenty pages the folks at home aie told tljat
all Is well.
Bart Andress, a former Lnnocn man. is
the editor-in-chief of Over Here, and Bart
throughout his magazine gives the drab side
of a soldier's life but little space. It is ap
parent that a majority of Barfs assistants
are In genuine sympathy with their chief, for
wit, humor and pun are the outstanding
features. ,
"This and That" is the title of Bart's own
contribution, which is a running commentary
on the activities of the camp. Le Havre hap
pens to be the present home of this particular
base, so Over Here contains an Interesting
historical sketch of that city.
As Editor Andress says In an editorial an
nouncing the purpose of the publication, "one
of Us chief functions will be to record in
permanent form the countless little Incidents
and events that lend color and intimate in
terest to our adventures In France Every
soldier In the American Expeditionary
Forces recognizes that he Is now living the
great adventure of his life. Nothing hn has
experienced in the past, and nothing he can
ever hope to experience, can possibly superr
sede its glamour and significance. There)
rnrf. II wnum iir iiiHMiiraLi v oepipprriii t
it ougnt to ne mentioned tnat the spon
sors for Over Here launched their craft on
America's natal da. and Dewltt A Saunders,
sporting editor, was kept busyin the athletic
field. A notable fete was held at the base,
and Saunders recorded the events for the fol
lowing Issue.
' Brigadier General Richard Coulter, com
manding officer at the base, gave Andress
and his associates much encouragement by
saying in a letter addressid to the soldier
editors: "The publication of a magazine for
this base section has my hearty approval.
It will promote that spirit of co-operation
and pride In the service so essential to ef
f.clent work. The active support of the of
ficers and men stationed here is requested,"

GRACEFUL TRIBUtE
TO YOUTHFUL HERO
Headmaster of the Groton School
Eulogizes the Memory of
Qucntin Roosevelt
Uy ENDICOTT PEABODY
Headmaster of the (irnlnn School
The grief of those who knew and loved
Qucntin Roosevelt has been increased b;
a two. fold disappointment
For thiee das we have heen hunjed up
hv the hope which we gained from message
coming from both France and Spain that he
had come down within the lines of the enemv
and had been taken prisoner there. Notice
dropped fiom German aeriplanes have dis
pelled the hope. The hov certainly Is dead.
The second disappointment comes from the
thought of what he might have done for his
country had he survived the war
This Satuidav evening when the fart of
his death hH.s just been established we find
ourselves in the mood of the two vnung men
walking to lCmmaus who. talking of their
friend who had been taken away from them,
declaied "We trusted th.it It had been he
which should have redeemed Isiael Not
that Quentln Roosevelt was a spiritual or
intellectual genius He was a fine specimen
of .voung manhood In w horn were developing
the latent powers of his jouth which were so
full of piomlse of high service to the nation
Prevented from taking a prominent pait
In nthletlcs bv an Injury to his hack- a
handicap which he bore for several ears
with great patience he had nevertheless a
murcular and enduring flame His camping
and hunting trips in the West during vaca
tion gave evidence of this
He was nn eaRer and intelligent reader,
familiar with manv branches of literature.
When he was consigned to bed as he used
to he oocavtonall.v on aeount of his back,
he would appeal at the Inflrmarv with an
armful of books standard works, or the
writings of the iral authors of the (lav The
power of concentration, a facult.v popseRFed
by man) members of ihe Roosevelt famllj
which accounts for their enthusiasm and
ability to do things was highl.v developed in
Quentln Fie took much Interest In printing,
nnd spent manv hours In the school pi ess
acquiring a .klll which would have qualified
him without further picparation fni the posi
tion of a Journejman printer. It was char
acteristic of him that he was often found
sitting on a stool by the side of a clattering
monotype machine which was noisily stamp
ing out its letteis. and as he gave himself
up completely to the enjo.vment of Browning
or some other favorite authoi, he had an ear
open, to the slightest variation of the complex
apparatus.
Socially he was a most agreeable com
panion for persons of all ages, for be had
been much with his parents as their com
rade as well as with his contemporaries.
His sense of humor was keen and unfailing,
and alwajs of a. kindly nature. He was
mentally alert, sympathetic. Interested in
many persons and all kinds of things. He
was a friend who did not foiget With
these powers of bod.v. mind and spirit it is
not strange that be should have been deep
ly stirred by the wai. and that when the
United States tntered in he should have
been allowed by Ills father, in spile of his
youth, to prepare himself for the gallant
service of aviation Learning quiekly as a
man of Intense concentration can learn, his
time of training was brief and he was sent
acioss the sea In the early summer of 1917.
in France he was kepi at one of the schools
as an instructor. And then, when the drive
came, he was allowed to fulfil his dream and
go to the front for active service. There he
brought down his antagonist In one of his
first actions. Shortly after he was attacked
by two enemy airplanes and fell, as we now
believe, mortally wounded.
It is a striking Instance, this, of the dif
ference between the two sstems involved
in this world conflict The Kaiser's sons
are placed ex-olllcio In command of great
hollies of troops whether they be worthy of
their nfllcea or not The.v remain In com-,
parative safetj. well behind the line of battle.
They must be kept to nile ovei the nations
which w ill be bequeathed to them to govern.
They aie superior to ordinarv beings by iea
son of their descent from this man Gei
inauv bows to them as to their overlords.
With us, the sons of one who has held the
highest ollice In the gift of the people come
forward promptl.v. eageilv, to take their part
as equals with all-comei", accepting condi
tions Imposed upon all, competing with others
in enduring the haidshlp and meeting the
dangers of modern waifare.
It Is natujal that there should be Ju-t the
kind of differences In the qualities of the two
sets of men, that Ihe war has made evident
toda.v The.v ale the pioducts respectively of
an autocrac and a republic
"He saved otheis Himself he cannot
save," was the comment of those who passed
by Him who marie the great sacrifice upon
trie cross. It explains the death of the voung
Ametlcan in whom we rejoice, for whom we
mourn toda
A, modern Ilnglish poet has written of a
tablet placed In a school chapel In memory
of one of its graduates
'Qui procul hlnc," the legend's writ.
The frontier grave is far awav,
"Qui ante diem petllt,
Sed miles setl pro patria."
A soldier, this friend of ours, a soldier of the
splendid legion of oung men who teadilv
and joously give themselves to the most
hazardous branch of fighting, and go lo their
death tor the salvation of the world with the
intrepidity and nonchalance of the mighty
heroes of old. Boston Transcript

of coughing or hemming in the middle of 'a -5
