Cape May Is Gay Place Nancy Wynne Tells jibont New
n Branch nf Emeracncv Aid Aides Work of Gcr-
i
mantown Service House
'1APE MAT always has been pretty gay,
fyj but this year, with all the United States
v'Jfavy down there, It's e,ulte the gayest placs
Jj you ever heard nf. There's a dance every
'Week at the Red Mill, and lots of other
parties at the hotels and Informal lunch
eons and dinners at the various cottages,
i Dr. and Mrs. William Frederick Moore, of
fUanerch, are staying down.there. Doctor
Moore Is In the Medical Corps. U. S. N'..
J'ou know, and Mrs. Heck Wetherlll Is
there, and the William Oardlners, of Chest
nut Hill, have a cottage. Ann Elllcott Is
t there, and Mr. and Mrs. Kolff, of Haver-
f ford. Mrs. Kolff Is so attractive, and she
has so much style. I dp like people who
" wear their hats In a "peppy" -way, don't
' you?
All the Kltson family Is at Cape May
' this, year, and the Sanders twins have a
pottage for the season. They were In town
yesteraay. I saw tnem looKing oxncuy
' alike In blue dresses; one of them had on
a. little blue hat and the other had on n big
one trimmed with flowers, but I'll never bo
able to tell you whether It was Anita or
Eetelle In the little hat.
Katherlne Potter's engagement to Wal
ter Avery, of Germantown, caused quite a
stir in Cape May. You know she has been
staying with her sister, Huberta Earle, at
her cottage, and the wedding will be held
from there next week. Katherlne came
out about three years ago, and has been
awfully popular. Her fiance Is Instruct
ing at Pensacola, Kla In the naval avia
tion. Can you say "naval aviator?" I
always get It either "navlator" or "navy
avalator," and, after all, it has the same
effect, so what difference docs it make?
HAVE you noticed lately that a number
of the Emergency Aid aides are wear
ing uniforms with bright oranpe trim
mings on the collars and cuffs Instead nf
the red to which we have all become accus
tomed? Perhaps you have been wonder
ing, as I have. Just what the new color
means, and so I will tell you what I have
found out, that this Is used by the sub
urban branches, which have been doing
perfectly splendid work In their own dis
tricts. Mrs. Paul W. Sharpies, of Old Yellow ,'
1 House, Media, has recently organized the
Media branch of the Emergency Aid aides,
and In a very; short time they have done a
remarkable amount of work. Naturally
their first service Is given to the Emer
gency Aid, and a lot of time is devoted to
packing and transporting for their own
branch. They havo volunteered for can
teen work with the Red Cross, and are
, helping at the war industrial plant; while
the selling of war savings stamps and
preparations for the next Liberty Loan are
marked with red letters on the schedule
of' activities. And besides all this, the
Emergency Aid Aides stand ready to offer
"their services at any time for any work
, 'which will help to win the war! At pres
ent they are helping In the drive to recruit
,25,000 volunteers for the United States
Student Nurse Reserve.
' Bo, you can see that anybody who wears
the blue uniform with the Sam Brown belt
and the bright-colored collar and cuffs
knows all about the meaning of real work,
and does it, too, every day. The officers
of the Media branch E. A. A. are: Captain,
LMrs. P. W. Sharpies; .first lieutenant. Miss
Mary Snowden; second lieutenant, Mrs.
.Morris K. Scott; Bcrgeant. Mrs. TJiomas
C. Stlllwagon; corporal, Mrs. Frank Ham
ilton. The members Include Miss Agnes
Werntz, Miss Helen Rohrer, Sarah Rhodes,
Elizabeth Campbell, Helen Pratt, Minerva
Smith, Charlotte Hosklns, Nellie Kelly,
Mrs. Clarence H. Miller, Mrs. Ealyer
Rhodes and Mrs. Joseph Coca.
PTTtAR hfi If from Vancv tn nlnv nnv
favorites, so now I'll tell you that the
junior service girls of the National League
for Women's Service are doing a lot of
gipod work, too. They wear, the blue unl
' forms with leather collar and cuffs, you
frknow, and their ijummer uniform Is a dark
Sblue dress with white collar, and the belt
Aand edge of ihe pockets of the leather like
6'the winter collars and, of course, dark
; blue straw hats. There are fifty of them
iwho are on duty at the Germantown Serv
ice House ,on Chelten avenue, and they
,jhake the convalescent library books from
? magazines.
!p Da you know about those books? You
fpt together all. the old magazines that
youhave hanging around In odd places
and cut out all the Interesting stories that
you have read, and then paste them to
gether and put a pasteboard back on the
collection and call It a book. They really

niHEY had been engaged for some time,
, and It was announced and everything,
Jbiit 'they didn't expect to be married until
Job; 'not for. a long time anyhow. Then he
VStiddenly discovered that he could get a

- tiouldn't get a furlough and she said,
KWhy not be married now?" Naturally you
1coUldn't make him mad with a suggestion

notice, They had bridesmaids and every.

hostess in the car on the way.
They had wedding breakfast and con
fetti nnd. everything Just exactly right,
and started onthelr trip with all the most
obvious marks of a bride and groom. But,
somewhat tn the bride's disappointment,
nobody on the train seemed to recognize
the fnct that they were on their honey
moon nobody stared or smiled, although
every few minutes one of them would take
out a handkerchief or open a bag nnd con
fetti would pour out. At the hotel there
were several people In the lobby, but they
all looked ns If a' man nnd his wife were
arriving with bags, not as If a "Oh. look,
bride and bridegroom, nnd look nt the con
fetti," had .Just Mown In. It was all very
nice nnd they didn't have anything like
the usual embarrassment that brides and
bridegrooms have, but somehow the bride
felt that something was missing.
Then, as she was waiting while hor new
husband went up to the desk and remem
bered to wrlto "Lieut, nnd Mrs." she saw
a friend and instead of shying clear of hlra
and getting as far away as possible she
went eagerly forward and, holding out her
hand cordially, she cried: "Hello, Jack, I'm
married. George and I were married to
day," with exactly the air of a child say
ing, "I had n whole plate of Ice cream to
day." And Jack, somewhat Bhocked nnd
surprised, remarked absentmindedly, "Is

EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9,
ONE POUND OF CANDY
TO CUSTOMER URGED
Food Administration Asks Dealers
to Cut Sales to Save
Sugar
Candy is becoming altogether too popular
these days for the comfort of the food admin
istratlon. and an appeal has come from
Federal headquarters asking dealers In
sweets to sell not more than a pound at a
time, and asking consumers of such deli
cacies to limit their buying.
As yet this Is only "an appeal, but should
the ncrease n candy consumption continue
a ruling will have to be made
Candy dealers here have "signified their
willingness to comply with the request, but
It Is rnther a disappointment to them, be
cause they were expecting Increased sales
with the cooler weather.
Since tho war candy bag become one of the
most popular edibles manufactured. Soldiers
nnd sailors are demanding 50 per cent more
sweets than they used tn eat, In the esllma
tlon of the candy makers. It Is supposed
the high price of ilrlnks and the scarcity of
sugar, as well as the strain under which
most people Hre working these days art
causes for the greater demand.
The food administration explains It has
no desire to deprive soldiers and sailors of
sweets; It Is merely to halt the growing
appetite of the general public that the fol
lowing request Is made:
"There Should be a eenernno cnvlnc nf
sugar wherever possible, and substantial help
will come from the gradual reduction In the
consumption of candy The board asks that
our people buy not more than one pound
of candy at any one time, and considerably
reduce the consumption of all sweetened lux.
uries of which sugar Is an Ingredient. Let
moderate buying of candy be the rule.
"Heads of households may explain to chil
dren that by eating less sweets containing
sugar they may materially help their big
brothers win the war It Is not the aim
of the food administration to discourage
the purchasing of enndy altogether, but to
do the thing moderately, with a view to
Favlng a commodity which must be saved In
order to prevent shortage."
FOOD A LA U.S. A.
FOR HUNGRY YANKS
"Y. M. . C. A. Canteens Supply
"Ham-and-Aigs"' Like Those
Back Home
When an American soldier In Franco
wants "ham-nnd-algs. country stvle." he
wants them American style, and no amount
or expenslve-snunding "a la" or "an" this
or that Is going to satisfy bis appeilte.
Because most of the French chefs polltelv
but firmly refuse to revolutionize their
culinary Ideals, even as a compliment to the
Yankees, eating places where real American
eats, prepared by home folks, can be ob
tained are as oases or rocks in a weary
land.
The Y. M. C. A,, among other big irgan
Izatlons. has gone pretty extensively Into
the huslness of supplying this demand. Dr.
Charles Park, of Santa Baibara, 'al., sug
gested to the "V" that there was a demand
for such a restaurant nt Tours, and In Jan
uary opened his cafe, "Old Fort Duquesne
Canteen," named In honor of his native, city
of Pittsburgh. Immediately the "V" set
out tn open other such establishments.
Miss Mabel C. Little, director nf the din
ing halls at Cornell I'nlvcrsity. was selected
as the person to start these canteens prop
erly, a year's leave for this patriotic work
being granted her. Sim is a graduate of a
cooking school In Philadelphia, besides which
she holds degrees from Columbia University
nnd the New York Teachers' College.
Her duties are solely the founding of res
taurants for officers and enlisted men. At
Tours she has just established a model cafe,
teria, where one can get an excellent Ameri
can meal, a meal as good as any served
anywhere, nt from three to five francs. Four
hundred American meals aro served there
dally.
''Better still, Miss Little has taught the
French chef to prepare meals the American
way. One cannot tell his cooking from the
best In the United States. After getting this
cafeteria in good running condition In six
weeks Miss Little was sent to a big aviation
camp to open a "Y" restaurant, which will
feed more than a thousand men dally. She
will organize others later.
Among her volunteer assistants are Miss
Meyer, a sister of the late George von L.
Meyer, a former Secretary of the Navy, and
Miss Parsons, a sister of Herbert Partons.
formerly Republican county chairman of
New York.
WOMEN WIN PRAISE
IN METAL TRADES
National Industrial Board Finds
Them Valuable in "Repeti
Work
tive
The employment of women In the metal
trades has met with a high degree of sue
cess, according to a report issued yesterday
by the National Industrial Conference Board,
which summarizes Information obtained from
131 metal establishments employing 335,015
men and 49,823 women.
In most of the plants women were used
on the lighter processes, while heavy work
and highly skilled work was generally left
to men. The board reports that the services
of women have been found especially valu
able in work of a "repetitive" character, In
which one simple operation Is performed
over and over again. In the work on which
they are generally used the board found
that women usually turned nut more and
better work than the men, were more careful
In using their tools and more steady and de
pendable. The most successful method of preparing
women for metal work. It Is reported, Is that
of teaching them In special classes for a
short period at the factor' at which they are
to work. The manufacturers have not been
generally eager, It is said, to take women
from Indiitrial schools, and the method of
putting them immediately to work and rely
ing on foremen to coach them has been found
unsatisfactory because of the frequent preju
dice of foremen against women workers.
So far there has been no extensive sub
stitution of women for men In the metal .In
dustries, notwithstanding the exceptional re
sults which have been obtained where they
are being used. The report shows that em
ployers generally have accepted the principle
of equal pay for equal work. Some have
established periods of rest for women In the
morning and afternoon, with an increase of
efficiency as a result.
