Before the war every time -you went to a bazaar, a benefit affair of any kind or nn amateur audevllle show you wero sure to see Peggy Thayer taking tickets, Charlotte Brown ushering, nthel Huhn selling pro. grams and Pauline Denckla, Mary Law, Rebecca Thomson and tho rest of them selling ltovvers and cigarettes. Since the war began you have seen them Just aa often at war relief affairs and besides that, as members of the E. A. A. or motor mes sengers or Junior service girls, they have been selling Liberty Bonds, war stamps, taking War Chest subscriptions, packing for tho Red Cross, doing canteen work and oh, I ctuld fill a whole column telling you wnero you could see any one or incse ' girls. Now another call has como and they are "on the Job." The Btudent nurse reserve wants recruits, and so these girls havo enlisted and will start their courses In training for nurses' aides In tho fall. Peggy Thajer begins tho first of next month at tho Episcopal Hospital, Char lotte Brown has been studying at tho Uni versity Hospital and Ethel Huhn, who Is now Mrs. Joseph Bailey, Is going to start at the Episcopal Hospital In September. Paulino Denckla, Mary Law and Rebecca Thomson are also going there. Mrs. Row land Evans, Jr. she was Elizabeth Downs, you know Emma Dorr and Emily Prlco Welsh have all been studying at the Uni versity Hospital. At tho end of their course they will be nurbes' aides and can be sent to aimy hospitals at tho canton ments. You can always count on them to volunteer, and then after that you can always be sure that they will do tho work well. I certainly wish them luck In their new field. pvOESX'T It seem Impossible that It's -' almost tho middle of August? And Isn't It a relief to think that we've actually finished with that awful hot wave, and no matter what happens now we won't havo anything quite like that to go through with? House pirtlcs and visits away from home are Btlll going strong and tho people who are up North or out West or at the seashore seem to be enjoying every mlnuto of their stay. Mrs. Alba Johnson, Jr., and Margaretta Jeannes and Gwen Martin nro together at a house party given by Mis. Arthur Pew at her ranch near Colorado Springs. The two Brockles, Agnes and Elizabeth, are still at York Harbor, whero they are visiting Sidney and Sarah Frank lin at their summer home. Agnes certainly does deserve a good holiday, for I neer saw each a tireless worker as she Is. E ery time a booth was put Up last winter In the arcade on Fifteenth street Agnes was thero the first morning of whatever drive It was "crvlngr her wares" and attracting every body who passed. Mr. and Mrs. II. Ashton Little, of Strafford, are expecting to leave on Thursday with Mary and Nancy for Seagate to spend three or four weeks. Mrs. Ronald Barlow Is visiting Mrs. Fred erick Stovell at her cottage at Cape May. Mrs. Barlow had been having quite a .strenuous week playing In the tournament up at St. Martins. By tho way, I hear that June Tilden, of Germantown, has been granted leave of absence from the medical camp where he Js stationed to play In the national tennis tournament this week on Long Island. Ho always plays In the national tournaments, you know, and Is most graceful and clever In his playing. ' JANE'S Cousin Robert has always taken everything, and particularly himself, very seriously, having little or no sense of "humor. And, strange to say, the army failed to take it out of him, and when tho army fails to take It out of them It's pretty bad, because they will add so much extra "swank" as soon as they get Into the well cut olive drab. Of course, It is stunning, but you know what I mean. Well, any how, as soon as Cousin Robert was made a first lieutenant he surprised and shocked the family by announcing that ho was coming to spend the week-end with them. Jane was-delighted and rather thrilled, for she was long on patriotism and a uniform was a soldier to Her. When he flrht ar rived she was awed Into admiring silence, Whllo "The Lieutenant" swaggered around In tho center of the family's proud glances you can't help being proud of a lieuten ant in the family, even If ho Is terribly conceited about it. Mother was much re lieved at Jane's silence, because Jane is ope or your rranK, outspoken children. At luncheon, in the presence of much food, tho bpell broke and Jane began to revive. Sitting directly opposite Cousin Robert, she couldn't fall to notice every self-satisfied pose and large, patronizing tone. What interested her most of all was the peculiar blrdltke way he cocked his head to get a view of his glistening shoul der bars. They seemed to be the pride of his life, and Jane couldn't see why. So she asked, "Cousin Robert, aro you a real soldier?" Her pompous cousin replied that he hoped he might be called that, and mother, hastening to smother the confab before it got dangerous, remarked, "Why, Jane, Cousin Robert is a lieutenant." Jane, not at all impressed, wanted to know what showed ho was a lieutenant. And when she heard that it was the little silver, bars she laughed as If at a great Joke. "Well," she returned, "if that's all, I don't see why he's so awfully proud. They must need lots of lieutenants, be cause you can buy millions ofthose little pins at the ten cent store for ten cents a pair." NANCY WYNNE.

T7U'ERYTHIXQ is Just perfect." declared JLU Winifred, with a critical look at tho pintiy shchcE "I suppose tho things will have to do," sighed Aunt Hannah. "I suppose thero Is enough such as It Is; but I did want a raspberry shortcake." "I know ou make delicious ones, nuntlc. I haven't forgotten how they fairly milt In tho mouth. I will pick the berries If ou will niako one. Only jou will hae to tell mo whero to find them." and Winifred reached for her sun bonnet and pall "That's Just the trouble. Raspberries aro awfully scarce this ear. put there nre loads down In Law) or Peters's field. The hillside Is red with them, but his oerseer Is so strict that not a soul can come near the place Ho will let tho berries rot before he will allow anj body to come and pick them " And Mrs. Brown looked ery much discouraged. "I am sure I can get some without hurting his old grass and I will," laugher Winifred, a look of daring coming Into her dark ces. "We shall hae that shortctko tonight." Nodding gaily, sho started across lots to the Peters farm She had not far to go, and was soon kneeling down in tho grass on tho hillside Sho picked desperate, and smiled as she saw how soon her-rlill would bq full, "Thero I haven't tangled his old grass a slnglo bit," idle breathed as she arose and looked around "Auntie will hao her short cake, and Mr. Peters will never know I lslt ed his berry field." At that moment two men cam over the brow of the hill One, clad as a fanner, bhe readily recognized as the ocrseer. Tho other was a cltj-clad gentleman, who was a stranger to her. jet she fell certain It was no other than Mr. Peters himself. Slowly they made their way down the hill toward Winifred Pulling hor hat far down oer her crimson face, sho pretended not to see them. v ' There, Mr. Peters, I told you there was some one In tho berry field !" cried Jake ex ultantly. How Winifred's cheeks burned at the words ! "Never mind, Jake, I am sure we do not begrudgo her a few berries, when the hill side Is red with them " Winifred sprang up and faced them. She saw a-way whereby she might escape humlll tion "Senor, Senor ! No comprendo inglls " "Shes Spanish," exclaimed Lawjer Peters, answering her as bet he could with his slight knowledge of the language. "A prtty face will fool man eery time," grumbled Jake, as ho walked stiffly away. "He will let her trample my grass all down just on account of her large dark eyes and ay black hair," Meanwhile Mr. Peters walked by her side to her aunt's door, carrying the pall of stolen fruit. "Mr. Peters!" exclaimed that astonished lady. 'Come in and hae some dinner, do?" "Not this time, but I will hold that Imita tion good," was his laughing reply. "You will see enough of me. And take all the berries you want from the old hillside." "Well, It I ever!" ejaculated the puzzled woman, looking from the pall of luscious berries to Winifred's crimson face. "Tell me Just how It happened. How did vou Know Ralph Peters?) I am dreadfully pleased with the berries, though." "And am I to go again when jou want more?" cried the girl, dimpling with amuse ment. Then sho told the story, and concluded: "Aunt Hannah, don't jou dare forget that I am Spanish. Mr. Peters may call again, and I want jou to remember that I can speak nothing but Spanisn "Just as jou say, child," and the good women Indulged In a fit of laughter. "I don't wonder he took you for a foreigner, with your snapping dark eyes and black curls." The Red Cross supper was a great suc cess Aunt Hannah's shortcake recehed much praise. Ralph Peters became a constant visitor at the Brown home, neer suspecting the deceit, and Winifred welcomed him with an Increasing feeling of guilt. As her visit drew to a close he began to realize that he loved this beautiful Spanish girl and wished her to be his wife. Winifred did not Inter rupt him as ho told his love as best he could in Spanish. Then she burst Into tears and told him all. "Ah my little trespasser! You not only stole my berries, but my heart also. Now talk EngUbh, sweetheart, to make up for lost time," .Tomorrow! Complete NoTelette REUNION." "XOVK'S.

Jim alwajs would rather read than eat, and he hates shindigs of this sort a little more 'n I do." "All right, I'll look him up," nodded Mr. ymlth as he turned away. IVllberately, but with apparent careless ness, strolled Mr. Smith through the big drawing rooms and down the hall. Then to the left the directions were not hard to follnn and tho door of the room at the end was halfway open, giving a glimpse of James Blalsdell and Benny before tho big fireplace. With a gentle tap and a cheerful "Do you allow Intruders?" Mr Smith pushed open the door. James Blalsdell sprang to his feet "Er I oh, Mr Smith, come In, come right In'" The frown on his face gave way to a smile. "I thought well, never mind what I thought. Sit down, won't jou?" 'Thank jou. If jou don't mind" Mr. Smith dropped Into a chair and looked about him "Ain't It great?" beamed Benny "It's most as nice as Aunt Maggie's ain't It? And I can cat all the cookies here I want to, and come In even If my shoes aro muddy, and bring the bojs In, too." "It certainly Is great," agreed Mr, Smith, his admiring ej-es sweeping tho room again. To Mr. Smith it was like coming into an other world The deep, comfortable chairs, the shaded lights, the leaping fire on the hearth, the book-lined walls even the rhythmic voices of the distant ollns seemed to sing of peace ana quietness ana rest,, nn,Vn l,n nhnwln1 mn IVim nnim ha' "Dad's been, Bhovvln' me the books he used f y '&dlF tV 'if," 4; jPorfor , iV T "Ho certainly has." iiti tt'i uiiiiiy iiiia. tci i Mr. James Blalsdell stirred a little In MSw- fct cl air -?H-V "I sunuose I have crowded them a llttle.lAw- he admitted "But, ou see. there were 'ffy ninny in niwavs wanieu.
