V ytST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE LlVancy JTyine Takes in Nurses' Parade Interesting Events for !$ Philadelphians Visiting at White Sulphur Springs. ji Agnes Can't Understand Camouflage ?TID you take In the parade yesterday KJ- up Broad street to the Statue? It was fifor recruits for the Student Nurse Reserve, X ind there were a great many nurses In ".'their neat uniforms and little white caps, ,and some of them In the picturesque red Hftnd blue capes, In the line of march. The f tew Emergency Aid Aides who are In town riow led the parade with their banner, Just behind the bund. There were several 01 the suburban Aides that I told you about yesterday, with their orange collars and cuffs. The National League for I'JVoman's Service brought up the rear, 'looking cool In white waists and skirts, 'i ith the regulation hat. I noticed Mrs. Wn ter Clark and Mrs. ENed Wright nmong them. The singing Was very spirited and the group up on the 1 1 ifi, a wUU Mh aliritm, Ditalntnnil thp hll-h 6tes In the "Battle Hymn of the Repub wltc" so wonderfully that It made your blood f. run cold. Perhaps your blood doesn't do ilthat kind nl thlnir. hut Nancv has that peculiarity and doesn't ever expect to grow up enough to fall to thrill at the sound of a drum or a chord of close harmony, I saw Mrs. John B. Thayer going Into the Glrard Trust In a most becoming hat and a blue chiffon veil with her white ' dress. Polly Thayer has gone out to Min neapolis, you know, to finish her course In t music. She plays the violin wonderfully Well and Is studying all the time. She has been out West twice before and this trip finishes her work out there. Peggy seems '' to be having a fine summer after her win- . ter of work with the E. A. A. Every once in a while I hear of her at Cape May or ', Up north or somewhere, and I know she , Is having a good time, for she always does wherever she Is. ,. 1T7HITE SULPHUR SPRINGS Is having ' a big time today and had one jester- day. The annual Horse Show is on and there are visitors from all over A'irginla, and West Virginia. Carol and Suzanne Smith, the two daughters of Mrs. L. How ard Weatherly, rode in the show, which was held at tho Meadows, the summer place Of Mr. and Mrs. Thornton Lewis. The proceeds of the show are to be given over Rto the local branch of the Red Cross. Isa jel and Betty Stettinlu"), daughters of Mr. jSdward R. Stettlnlus, of New York, the Assistant Secretary of War, also were In the riding and Jumping events. Mrs. Isaac Kemble Is down there now with Ethel Altemus B,vrd. Mrs. William , G. Collins and Mrs. William H. Randle. Thomas Harris Powers went over from ' Hot Springs for tho Horse Show and ex pects to spend a few days at White Sul phur. Last night they had a huge dance at the old White, and the famous old ball room was filled with gaiety and music. r The affair was the ladies' horse show co tillon, and it was surprising how many r dancing men appeared at the last minute, ., when everybody thought that there wasn't such a thing for miles around. They were mostly in the blue uniform of the navy or I? the "O. D." of the army, spending short leaves at tne resort, out they certainly did Ijj make that dance a great success. Mrs. ;"J. Howard Gibson is staying at the White now for some time. Miss Josephine McClure, who Is spending the' summer down there and Is Interested ' jn all the Red Cross and war stamp and canteen activities, sold more than sixty tickets for the recent presentation of "Les Miserables," the movie in which William Farnum made such a hit when it was hero. The performance was given for the benefit of St. Thomas's Episcopal Church, at White Sulphur, and about everybody at the resort p-'was t,here to applaud or not, according to Whether they liked the show or not. Have you ever been to the movies in i.imall towns near the resort where ll'you spend the summer? The whole audi- y ence pays careful attention when you come In, to see what "those summer people" have on tonight. Then you see a harrow ing picture, in which almost all the charac ters are either murdered slowly or elso 3JJuat naturally "pass out" because there's r''nothing more tor them to do in that play. f Artd Just as the "posse" is about to catch the bandits after having chased them all 1. fthe way from Hollywood, Cal., to Fort Lee, h K. J., the film breaks and the lights come .iltl nnA thA nfflnn itolta nft !. ni.i ,n& you sit in hot silence till it starts up again. And don t vou appreciate that m f salt air a thousand times more when you ' ?,get out into it again? There's no partial- ' lar reason for the presentation of "Les , Miserables" at White Sulphur Springs to ,et me off at such a tangent, but then Hhere's no particular reason for anything In weather like this, and almost any sub ject will make your mind wander until it j'jjust naturally lands among "that cool salt .' air."

RICH WOMEN WILL SET OLD-CLOTHES FASHION Poorer Sisters Will Be Encouraged When They Sec Wealthy Ones Economize To be fashlonablv dressed this winter Is for once within the reach of all American women, Only two qualities in clothing must be rigidly observed economy and utility. The woman who appears In a too new and handsome suit will not lp dressed In quite such excellent taste as the woman who has brushed up a last winter suit and done over last winter's hat for another slese. Also. If one Is able to display a pair of last winter's shoes one will lend a partlcu laily smart touch. At a recent meeting of women who have pledged themselves to work on the Liberty Loan drive many suggestions weie made as to the best means not only of making It possible, for rich women to ghe more, hut of helping poorer ones to make their sacrl flcej for the nation in war It. has been only natural that bitterness should be felt In many cases where poorer women have had to appear poorer and shahb'ler In order to subscribe their share to the national coffers while rich women were able to make their Impressive donations and yet appear at their patriotic meetings In purple and fine linen. Hlcb Wnmen'ii Pledge It Is by these richer women that In many parts of the country a lesolutlon has been made to buy no new clothes this winter: hut transposing the Hoover doctrine of the clean plate Into another key, apply It to the ward robes which are filled with excellent clothes discarded simply because tliev no long r pleased the fastldeous taste of their feminine owners. Dresses must be worn as long as thn fabric lasts. There must be no waste In tho ward rohe. The Ingenuity nf the female of the species will be allowed full swing: It has done heroic things with substitute foodstuffs, and Is gaining extraordinary fertility since the war began to make demands upon It. The woman can take a last year's hat and make It look just ns new and Jaunty as one nf the Paris creations of female headgear. This will be" killing half a dozen birds with one stone. In the first place, she will bo exercising her own Ingenuity, whlcK. carried to n high point, leads to ultimate freedom from the couturleres nnd modistes and others; she 'will be oheylng the creative Instinct, which Is a very respectable Instinct, and often quite a useful one : she will keep tho bills down, thereby permitting her husband to rise to a higher plane of thinking and to buy some more Liberty Bonds It Is up to the rich women to make old clothes fashionable, and by doing so It is believed that they not only will themselves save money to a hetter purpose, but will actually save other and poorer women's money. The woman who must .see another woman smartly dressed with her, clothes bearing that Indescribable stamp of luxiiiy which may lie perhaps In somo small but expensive little "fixln' " finds It often too bitter a struggle to resist spending the money she Intended to save for thrift stamps or the Red Cross on some luxurious little article.

David Halrd and the short term seem to be ngieeable to each other, but the long term, for which Governor Edge Is tunning. Involves another stori, With Colgate out and nobody in the field but Recoid, the perennial candidate, Wash ington nssumed that Edge was reasonably certain to Join his old campaign paitner, I'iellnghtlsen, at the national capital. It has not yet had reason to change Its mind, although the announcement of (iongressman Edward W. Gray's candidacy hts occasioned some talk. Gr.iv Is a newspaper man, as Edge Is. and was secietaiy to Edward C. Stokes the Tienton banker, when he was Gov ernor. That Gray should enter the fight which many believed would be made bv bis fninier chief, the ex-Governor. Is thought to have no bearing on the attitude of the latter. Gray is an Independent "cuss" something like "Tom" Scully, the wealthy barge-owne.- Congressman, wno lets It be known that If any one dnies him to do It, he may seek tho Democratic nomination foi Senator, whether B'tei Tumulty O K 's it or not.

President Wilson appointed him a member or tbe Tariff Commission. Now, tinder Postmaster General Rurleson, he becomes diiector nf all the wire systems of the 1'nlted States substantially the same as Secretary McAdoo Is director gen eral of the railroads and steamboat lines. An out-and-out labor man and a sincere believer in Government ownership, the course of the new administrator will be watched with inteiest His antecedents, his social nnd economic atttlbutes, are all so unlike those of Secretary McAdoo that the future of the wire systems contrasted with that nf the railroads may well be studied. Tbe. feeling is quite general that after the war the railroads In due coursH "III be turned back to their owners. To many it Is appaient that the director general of railroads, who acts, for the President of the United States. s in svmpathv with their managers The latter work for and under him. It Is doubtful whether the big lelephot.e and telegraph factors have hitherto en tertained similarly agteeable relations with their new director general. Mr. Lewis, however, will likely abide by the Presi dent's wishes. TTTR. REDFIELD. the Secretary of Com-- merce, has a way of doing Held work on his own account. Having been called upon by the Senate for Infoimatlon about the Atlantic coastal canals nnd finding some differences In the tepnrts of other departments, the Secretary made a per sonal Inspection of the Delaware and Rarltan and the Chesapeake and Dela ware Canals, bobbing up on boats and trains without notice to anybody. Tho Secretary has been a valiant fighter for .these Inside passage ways, having ncqulred considerable Information thereon In his eat Her da;us In connection with the operation of the New York State Barge Canal and its Hudson River connections. Waterways transportation, therefore, is no new thing to him He was In favor of using the watetways nnd canals for com meiclal reasons before the war and ap predates their value now for purposes of defensn as well ns for commerce. Secretary Daniels, of the navy, was also a great booster for the Inside passage ways before the war absorbed all his 3pate time. He believed in their availahlllty for the passage of small naval craft and for connecting up the navy yards. He was the star guest at the big waterways con vention held In Philadelphia In 1916. Ad miral Benson, now the chief of naviga tion, accompanied him on that occasion and made a forceful waterways address on shipboard, during a rainy day at the navy yard. TXHAT the women are doing In the war ' is so much that only a little can he recorded from time to time. In one mall comes evidence of three lines of en deavor: First. The Teacheih' Congress of the Motheis and Parent Teachers' Association opens a united service club for enlisted men In the District of Columbia. This is the work Mrs. Fredeiick Schorf, of Phila delphia, has so much at heart. Second. Mis. Lucy Kennedy Miller, of Pittsburgh, chairman of the Liberty Ixian committee, Pennsylvania Division, Coun cil of National Defense, forwards to Secre tary McAdoo a repot t of the activities and accomplishments of that committee In disposing of the third loan. Tho Philadelphia chaliman of this committee was Mis. Walter S Thomson, and the nearby chairmen Included Mrs. Charles A. Paisons, of Morrlsvllle; Mrs. Iewis L." Smith, of Strafford; Mrs. J. S. C. Harvey, of Radnor, and Mrs. Robert J. Ralston', of Fort "Washington. For the whole Stale these ladles reported more than 609,000 sub scriptions, amounting to more than $135,000,000. It Is very likely these ladles will be heard from again In September. Third. The Information department of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense notifies members of Congress that it has organized to help women obtain war work, and has set up chairman in the various States, who by reason of their knowledge of local con ditions will give helpful suggestions to women desiring war work.

"lEOtlGE D. GIDEON, who keeps pretty; - close to the Board of Education, be longs to that public-spirited group which also keeps in touch with Washington af fairs. In addition to "teaching the young Idea bow to shoot," George believes In a little practical shooting when the reedblrd season arrives hence his concern about the leeent migratory bird law, which puts damps on the gunmen who keep away fiom the Fifth Ward and shoot in the marshes. The open-air sportsman and Gideon i9 one- Is geneially an observer.

Gideon tells us that only about twenty of the 200 cunalboats are now tinning. "Surely." be ays, with the instinct of a patriot, "the Crown Prince cannot be uslns the old rallioad pull to stop waterway hauls." As winter is approaching and tho coal bins are not yet full, there is food for thought In Mr. Gideon's observations. Arthur H. Lea. of the American Philo sophical Society, is another Phlladelphian who has been watching the coal situation at close range. Mr Lea was one of the original daylight saving advocates and much of his argument rested upon the coal saving advantages of work by daylight, the force of which Is now admitted even by the elect! io llKht interests.

Even the Judges of the courts resort to it as an agreeable recreation. It has come to our notice since the courts of Pennsylvania fjuit work that many of the Jurists have lelded to the low of the klne.
