JVetncy Wynne Tells of New Kind of Work at Chestnut Hill
I Service House Garden Party in Beverely
Farms, Mass., Tomorrow
fPHE drlvo for student nurses Is going
strong at the Chestnut Hill Service
House. Next week a movlo house In
Chestnut Hill will present "The Mfe of a
Red Cross Nurse" to stimulate enlistments.
Mrs. E. W. Clarke, who Is an active
worker up there, Is much Interested In
this campaign.
Tou know the latest kind of work that
women are doing for the men In the serv
ice is mending. There Is a regular head
quarters for this ln town, and now the
Quartermaster's Department Is going to
Bend a consignment of overcoats to the
Service House every week to bo over
hauled. Every Thursday the women of
Chestnut Hill will meet and Work on tho
things from 2 until G. Miss Julia Hcebnor
will be In charge. Tho first meeting will
bo held on Thursday, August 22 It's an
Interesting kind of work, and Is much
needed, because, I don't know how ou
feel, but I don't think there's anything
much more pathetic nnd helpless than a
man with a button off his coat, or a man
with a necdlo nnd thread In his hand
trying to put tho button on. The men
need everybody they can get to do this
work at the Service House, especially the
' women with service stars In their win
dows. In West Philadelphia, the I'hllo
muslan Club Is headquarters for such
work, and nil clothing that needs mending
Is sent there. The club, which Is at 3944
Walnut street, will bo open every Monday
and Thursday, from 9 until 6, starting
this week. The things are sent to a
cleaner's before they come to the work
rooms, which Is a help, because, after all
kinds of dirty work In the dust, or, for
Instance, skirmish drill In the mud, a sol
dier's clothes are npt to be "slightly
soiled." It Is necessary to take the oath
of allegiance at tho Service House before
you can join these classes, but I should
think that would encourage reciults. It
must give you a terribly bolcmn, Im
portant, war-like feeling to tako the oath
of allegiance, don't ou think so?
MRS. J. COXYKGHAM STI-VENS, of
Rydal, has Brookslde cottago on the
estate of tho Sidney E. Hutchlnsons, In
Beverly, Mass, this summer, and tomor
row there will bo a garden party there
for the benefit of the parish house fund
of St. John's Episcopal Church at Beverly
Farms. It's a wonderful place for a lawn
party, and they ought to make qulto a
success of It, I should think. Mrs. Wil
liam E. Littleton has a house, Lilac Lodge,
at Beverly Farms, jou know, and several
other Phlladelphlans arc there for tho
Bummer.
DID you know that Dr. Carl Williams
has Joined tho army and Is at Mineola?
Mrs. Williams and the two children, An
nette and Jnne, are going over this week
to spend the balance of tho summer at
Allenhurst. Doctor Williams certainly
will bo missed In Germantown, for, nsldo
from his patients, he has a lot of friends
there. And what the Red Cross will do
without Mrs. Williams I don't know, be
cause she Is tho busiest little worker you
ever saw and is alwavs getting up some
kind of a benefit for it.
SINCE the hot wave began, the favorite
indoor sport 13 taking cold baths. All
day long the chief thought In even body's
mind has been to get homo and Into that
cold Bhower and It ljas been no surprise
to hear water running during one of those
3-o'clock-In-the - morning - Interv als when
you just naturally can't stand the hot
pillow any longer, and discover that
somebody Is taking another cold bath. And
even tho children got the habit. A cer
tain golden haired four-year-old was mis
sing the other day, and her mother hunted
nil over the place for her. Half an hour
later, behold Helen, fully clothed, calmly
descending the fetalrs, smoothing back her
soaking wet hair. "I had a bath, Mother,"
she announced. Later In tho afternoon,
Helen was playing with Buddy, aged two,
and noticed how awfully hot he was.
"Want a bath, Buddy?" she asked "Uh
huh," replied Buddy, enthusiastically. So
she took him up stairs, filled tho tub and
sorted In. Being tomevvhat short as
to si ure and length of arms, she found
it dlfllcult to reach Buddy as he sat In
cool content in the middle of the tub. So
she took a short cut to efficiency, nnd,
getting Into the tub with Buddy, pro
ceeded to scrub him as she felt ho de
served. And Mother, In another wild hunt
for the children, found them both enjojlng
the present national pastime.

URGE EXEMPTION OF DOCTORS
Industrial Board Wants Surgeons in Home
Reserve Corps
To guard against depletion in the ranks
of surgeons In Pennsylvania by the draft or
voluntary enlistments during tho remaining
period of the war, members of the House of
Representatives In Washington were urged
In a resolution adopted yesterday by tha
Industrial board of the Pennsylvania De
partment cf Labor to support the Joint Sen
ate resolution to create a reserve corps of
the United States Public Health Service.
Under the resolutions the surgeon general of'
the Tubllc Health Service will have author
ity to commission as officers. In the reserve
corps surgeons and sanitarians engaged In
safeguarding the employes of Industrial
plants.
Accidents In Industrial plants average 300,
000 annually In Pennsylvania, and the call
ing away of medical men from the large
Pennsylvania Industries engaged In war
production would be, the board holds, a
serious calamity.

Peggy stood horror-stricken She'd alwavs

oi a Rat, and theso Itats were worse thin
nn thing she had ever imagined She dldn t
know what to do There was no place to
run to, and sho couldn't fly like the Pigeons
The Rats looked around tho room curious,
ly, licking their chops as they gazed greedily
at the Pigeons Then their ejes traveled
downward nnd rested upon Peggj Thc
opened their mouths in a snarling grin
"litre's a new kind of a Bird ! ' nmarked
the foremost Rat.
'Looks as though It would be mighty gocil
to cat," squealed the second Rat.
"It's mine ! I saw It first 1" claimed tho
first Rat.
We'll divide it up," decided the third
Rat
With that the three Rats darted forward
In their sneaky, crawl) way, Peggy jumped
back and as she did so Hill) Belgium leaped
In fpmt of hci. He brandished a long, thin
file v?hlch some workmen had left on the
floor of the oteeple room.
"It's mine! Ixfaw it first!" claimed
the first rat.
"Come on, )ou Rats. If you want to get a
thump on the nose," he shouted
The Rats halted. They looked at Billy Bel
glum In surprise. Then they opened their
mouths In the same kind of a snarling grin
with which they had greeted I'egg)
"Here's another one," said the first Rat.
'We'll have nearly enough to go around,"
squeaked the second.
"My, Isn't he fierce-looking. Maybe he'll
eat us up!" sneered the third, showing all
his sharp teeth.
Peggy could see that Billy, brave as ho
showed himself, was no match for these
monster beasts. One rush and they'd snai
off his head. Hut Billy had a surprlso In his
sleeve.
Giving a startling shout, he leaped for
ward, rlghr Into the faces of tho grinning
Hats. The first he slashed across the noto
with the sharp end of the file. The secoi
he caught on the ear. The third ho proddec
In the ribs, shoving the file In with all
his strength.
The Rats, cowardly at heart, were upset
by the unexpected attack. They fell back.
Billy shouted again and rushed forward a
second time, brandishing the file. At the
same moment Carrie and Homer Pigeon
swooped down threateningly from above.
Turning in a panic, the Rats fled Into the
hole from which they had appeared.
Instantly Billy Belgium swung around to
Peggy.
"Get on Carrie Pigeon's back," he whisper
ed. "I've bluffed them for a minute, but
when they recover their wits they'll attack
again,"
Peggy knew what he said was true, and
quickly, accepted the aid which Carrie Pigeon
effered. She soon found herself1 on a large
beam that ran across the room lust below
the dome. Here were clustered the frightened
Pigeons, and here, too, were many of theii
nests, In the nests were baby Pigeons and
eggs Tucked around the edges by the room

ON'H hv ono tho winter dn)s passed
At the DufTs Mr Smith was finding a
most ennronlnl home He lilted Miss Maggie
better than ever on closer acquaints nee The
Martin girls fitted plensnnllv Into the house
hold and plalnlv did much to help the mis
tress of tho house Father Duff wns still ns
Irritable as evei. but he was not o much In
evidence, for his inert aslng lameness wns
confining him almost entire lv to his own
room This meant added care for Miss
Maggie but with the help of the Martins,
she still hid some rest and leisure, some
time to devote to the walks nnd talks with
Mr Smith Mr Smith said it was absolutely
Imperative, for the sake of her health that
Flu should have some recreation nnd that It
was an net of charltv nnjiuv, that she
should lighten his loneliness by letting him
walk and tnlk with her.
Mr Smith could not help wondering a
great deal these dn)s about Miss Maggies
lln ineial resources He- knew from various
Indie itlons tint thev must be rlendcr v et
he never heard her plead povertv or preach
econoni) In "Plte of the nbse.net' of pro
tecting rugs and tidies-, however, nnd in
spite of the fact that she plalnlv t .inducted
her life and household along the lines ot
the greatest pisslble comfort, he saw many
evidences that she counted the pi links mil
that Hhe made ever) poiinv c unit
lie knew for a fact that she hid refused
to accept an) of the Illilsdells legacv Jnne,
to be sure, had not offered nnv mone) vet
(though she bad offered the piilnr i.arpet
which hid been prompt 1) iefued) but Fr ink
nnd .lames nnd Flora h id offered money, and
hid uiged her to take It Mls Maggie,
iiowcver, would have nine of it
Mr Smith suspected that Miss Maggie
vv is proud and that she n garded such
a gift ns snvoilng too much of iharltv Mr
smith wished he could 1 something to Miss
Mngle Mr Smith was, Indeed not a little
dlstuibed over the matter lie did trv once
to sav something, but Miss Maggie tossed it
off with a men v 'Tiki their in in ) ' Ne ver '
I should feel as If I were tatlng up somo
of .lanes Interest, or one of Hattle s gold
chairs"' After that she would not let him
pet nenr the ubjict There 'cemed then
reall) nothing he could di
It was about this Hint, however, that
Mi Smith began to demand terliln extra,
luvuile-- honey olives s inline", candled
fruits and Imported jellies Thev were nl
vva)s luxuries that must be bought, not pre
pired In the home, and he promptly In
creased the prlco of his board but to a
sum far he) end the extra cost of the
delicacies he ordered
When Miss Maggie remonstrated nt the
size of the Increase, he pnnh-pioheel her ob
jections, and declared tint even tint did
not pav for having such a nuisance- of n
boarder around, with nil his fussv notions
Ho Insisted, moreevcr, that the famllv should
all partake freely of the various delicacies,
declaring that It seemed to take nvvnv the
(ting of his fusslness If the) ato ns ho
ate, and so did not make him appear singular
In Ills tastes
Of the ljlalsdells Mr Smith saw a great
deal that vj Inter. Thev often came to Miss
Maggie's .and occasion illy lie called at their
homes Mr Smith was on excellent terms
with them all They seemed to regaid him,
Indeed, as fiulte one of tho famllv, and
the) asked Ills advice and discussed their
affairs before him with as much freedom
as If he were. In truth, a member of tho
family
He knew that Mrs Hattle Hlalsdell was
having a very gav winter, nnd that she had
been Invited tw Ico to the Oa)lords's He
knew that James Ill.ilsdtll was happy In
long evenings with his books before tho
fire Trom Tred's mother he learned that
I'red had mado the most exclusive- club In
college and from Fred'H fuller ho lt.arned
that the bov was already leading his class in
hi- studies He heard of Bessie s visits to
the homes of vveilthy New Yorkers, and of
the ti Ills I!enn)'s teachers we're having with
Pa nny
He knew something of Miss Plena's
pi lcld life In her house of mourning ' (as
rtessle had dubbed tho little lottage), nnd
he heard of the ' perfect!) lovelv times'
Melllcent wns having at her finishing school
He dropped In occasinnall) to talk over the
price of beans ami potatoes with Mr Frank
Plalsdell In his bustling groceiv stoic, nnd
he often saw Mrs Jnne nt Miss Maggie's
It was at Miss Maggie's Indeed, one day,
that he heard Mrs J.ine la), as she sank
vvearll) Into a chali
Well. I eh dare1 Sometimes I think 111
never give an)bod) a thing again1'
Mr Smith, nt his table, was conscious of
a sudden llvel) Interest So olten In his
earlier acquaintance with Mrs Jane, while
he boarded there, hid he heard lit r say to
mission workers, church solicitor-, and door
wa beggars, nllke. something similar to
this "No, I can glvo )ou nothing I have
nothing to give I'd love to, If I could
re ill) I would It makes mo quite un
happ) to heir of all this need and suffeilng
I'd so live to elo something' And If 1 were
r'ch I would but as It s, I e.an onlv give
)ou m) sjmpathy and my pravers"
Mr Smith was thinking of this now He
hid wondered several times, blnce the money
came, as to Mrs Jane's giving Hence his
Interest now In what she was about to sij
"Wh). Jane, what's tho matter?' Miss
Mai,glo was eiuer)lng
Tver) thing's the matter," snapped Jane
"And positively a more ungrateful set of

meant me, of course, So )ou seo It wasn t
appreciated Now, was It?"
"Perhaps not "
"What's the good of giving. If )ou aren't
going to get nn) credit, or thanks, just be
cause )OU'io rich, I should like to know' And
they aren't tho only evnes Nothing has been
appreciated," went on Mrs Jane discontent
edly. "Look at Cousin Mary Davis) ou
know how poor tho've nlwa)s been and
bow hard It's been for them to get along
Her Carrie Melllcent's age, )ou know has
had to go to work In Hooper's store Well,
I sent Melllcent's old white lace party dress
to Mar) 'Twas seme soiled, of course, and
a little torn : but I thought she could clean
It and make It over beautifully for Carrie
But what do )ou think' back it came tho
next day with a note from Mary saying very
crisply that Carrie had no place to wear
white lace dresses, and they had no time to
make It over If she did. No place to wear
It, Indeed! Didn't I Invite her to my house
warming? And didn't Hattle, too' But bow
are )evu going to help n person like that?"
"But Jane, there must be ways some
wa)s" Miss Maggie's forehead was wrink
led Into a troubled frown "They need help,
I know, Mr Davis has been sick a long
time, jou remember"
"Yes, I know he has; and that's all the
more reason, to my way ot thinking, why
they should bo grateful for nn) thing any
thing! The trouble Is, she wants to be
helped In vva)s of her own choosing. They
wanted Frank to take Sam. tho boy he's
eighteen now Into the store, and they want
ed me to get embroidery for Nellie to do at
home she's lame, you know, but she does
do beautiful work. But I couldn't do either
Frank hates relatives In the store; he says
they cause all sorts of trouble with the
other help; and I certainly wasn't going to
ask him to take any relatives of mine. As
for Nellie I did ask Hattle If she couldn't
give her some napkins to do, or something,
and she rave me a dozen for her she oald
Nellle'd probably do them as cheap as any-
i Til
bodv, nnd ma) be cheaper But sho told me
not to go to the Gav lords or tho Pennocks.
or nti) of that crowd, for sho wouldn't have
them kntw for the world that we had a
lelntlve right here In town that had to tako
In s-evvlng I told her they weren't her rela
tions nor the Ulalsdells, they were mine, nnd
thev were Just ns good ns her folks any
day nnd tint It wns no disgrace to be poor
Hut dear me' You know Rattle What
crultl I do' Besides, she got mad then, nnd
took back the doren napkins she'd given me
So I didn't have anything for poor Nellie
Wnn t It n shame?
"I think It was" Miss Maggie's lips shut
In n thin straight line
'Well, what could I do'" bridled Jnne de
finntl) Besides, If I'd taken them to her,
the) wouldnt have appreciated It I know
The) never appreciate nil) thing Wh) last
tov ember, when the mnnev came I sent them
nearly ntl of Melllcents nnd mv old summer
tilings, nnd If little Tnttlo didn't go and say
afterwnrd that her mamma did wish Cousin
Jnno wouldnt send muslins In December
when then hadii t loom enough to storo a
safety pin Oh, of course Mary didn't say
that to me, but she must have said It some
whete rise Tottle wouldnt have got hold of
It 'Children nnd fool," )ou know," she
finished meinlnglv ns she rose to go
Mr Smith noticed Hint Miss Maggie seemed
troublfil that evening and he knew that sho
started off earl) the next morning nnd was
gone nenrlv all d i coming home only for
a hurried luncheon It being Satuidav, the
Martin girls wire both there to care for
Father Duff anil the house Not until some
davs latn did Mr Smith suspect that be
bnd learned the re i son for nil tills Then a
thln-f lied voting girl with tired evts came to
tta one evening and was introduced to him
as Miss Carrie Oav Is Later, when Miss
Maggie hail roim upstairs to put Father Duff
to bed, Mi Smith heard Carrie Davis telling
Annabellt Martin ill about how kind Miss
Maggie had bet n to Nellie finding her nil
that embrolderv to tin for that rli h Mrs (lav
lord nnd how wonderful It was that she
hid been nblt In get such a splendid Job for
sam right in Hooper's store whtre sho wis
Mr Smith thought he understood then
Miss Maggies long absence on K iturday
Mr Smith vv is often running across little
kindnesses that Miss Margie hail done He
began to think tint Miss Maggie must be a
verv eharitible person until lie ran nrros
seveinl cases tint she hid not lulpeil Then
be did not know ix.ictlv wlut to think
Ills fiist t perlence of this kind was when
hp met an unmlstnkablv 'down-and-out" on
the stieit one dav. begclng clothlnr. food,
am thing nnd telling a Forrv tale cf his
unjust elKchaige from n local fnctorv Mr
Smith gave the man a dollar, nnd sent him
to Miss Micgit Ho happenttl to know that
Father Duff had disc irded an old suit that
morning and Father Duff and the beggir
might have been taken for twins ns to size
On the wnv home n llttlo later ho met the
begrar returning just as foilorn, and even
more hunpr) -locking
' Well nn good fellow, couldn't she fix
vou up' que tlined Mr Smith In some sur
prise ' ri me up1" glowered the man ells
dainfiillv, 'N'ot much she did' She didn't
fi me up ter nothln' but chin music'"
Anil Mr Smith had thought Miss Maggie
so charitable'
A few davs later he heard an oiger-o)ed
voting woman begging Miss Maggie for a
cc ntrlbutlon to the Pension Fund Fair In
lehalf of the underpaid shopgirls in Daly's
Dilv s was a Illllerton elep irtment store,
n torlous for its unfilr treatment of Its
unplnj os.
M s Maggie seemed Intt rested nnd n1(td
in mv questions The eagei-ejod )oung
woman becaino even moit1 eagei-e)ed and
told Miss Mngglo all about Ole long hours,
the nerve-wearlnc liboi, the low wages
wages upon w hie h II was Impossible for
nnv girl to live deientl) vages whoso
mengernes sent man) a girl to her ruin
Miss Maggie listened attentive 1), nnd said,
"Yes ves, I see," seveial times But in the
end the eiger-eved )oung woman went away
emptv -handed and snd-i')ed nnd Mr Smith
fi owned ngnln
He had thought Miss Maggie was so
klnd-heirtcd ' She give to --ome fair vvhv
not to this one' As soon as possible .Mr
Smith hunted up tho eagei-eved )oung
woninn and gavt hi i ten ddl.irs He
would hive given lit 1 moie, but he had
learned from unpleasant tvperlenco that
largo gifts from unpn tentlous Mr John
Smith biought eomniiiits and curlosit) not
ulwa)S agreeable
It was not until many weeks later that
Mr Smith chanced to hear of the complete
changi of polio) if Ilalv s dep irtment tore
Hour i were shortened, laboi lightened, nnd
wages raised Incidentally he learned that
It had all started from a ciusade of women s
elubs and church committees who had "got
nfter old Dalv ' and threatenid all sorts
of publlcitv and unpleasantness if the
wrongs were not rlghte.il at once He learned
also that th leader In the forefiont of
this movement had been Maggie Duff
As It ehanced. It was on tint sime dav
that a strange man accosted him on the
rtreet
"Sav, she was .ill right, she was, old man
I been hrpln 1 tl see ve some da) ter tell

' To tell mo? ' echoed Mr Smith stupidly
Pidl)
The m in grinned
'Ve don't know me. do )e' Well, I look
dlff'rent, I'll own Yo give me a dollar
once, an' Fent me to a lady tlown the street

'Oh' Oh' Are )evu that man"
'Sine I am' Well she was nil right

she went an' faced my boss, an' she got me
in) Job back too What do ve think of that,
now ' '
' Why, I m I'm glad, of course," Mr
Smith spoke as rao 111 deep thought
And all the wav home Mr Smith walked
as one in deep thought
