' EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, 'AUGUST 23, 1918 t ' - ,jff')S' ', -i K tSr GOSSIPABOUT PEOPLE Nancy Wynne Chats About a Number of Things The Social Doings Are Virtually Nil in August Son Will Not W Ride With Father Until Winter ' TTS all very well, you know, this August weather, and you feel fine now that the awful heat Is a thing; to remember and not till to endure. But have you heard of anybody doing anything: about these be nlehted parts of the country? You have not. Well, It's always the case In August and so there's nothing more to be said about that. Down by the sad sea waves the girls are bathing and some few men who have not yet been "called" and who have a few days to use up for holidays bathe with them, and at Cape May there's pretty nearly always something doing, even If It's only a steamed crab supper or movies. Thete's a constant turmoil of suppressed excitement there, too. What k with submarines carrying on their ne farious work and chasers and seaplanes and patrols going after them, Cape May's quite a busy little place and no mistake. The bathing Is, as usual, simply splendid, and the girls there really do go In the water and have a great time swimming about. But It seems to me one can't really enjoy anything thoroughly any more. Does It strike you that way? For two or three years there were the shark scares all along the coast, so that even If you did swim you kept pretty close to shore. Now It's submarines. Then there's the knowl edge that "over there" the boys, who are irp dear to so many even If they are not our very own, are dally facing death or dreadful wounds or Imprisonment at the hands of the Germans, who hate them as much as they hate the Kngllsh. You enn't be awfully happy about things nnd yet be unselfish, cart you? And yet, you can keep your peace of mind and you must rale yourself above being unhappy because of the world's sorrows, for we know that "overmuch sorrow" Is too great for nnv one. And besides, we have to "carry on" here as much as the boys have to "carry on" there. And it must never be said of the American women that we have not been as brave and as full of endurance as our tired but brave sis-tors in Belgium, England, France, Jtalj, Serbia and the other countries of Euiope and Asia too. for that matter, for the Kngllsh women followed their troops Into Mesopotamia to nurse and aid the wounded and suffering. Good gracious, Nancy, how you do run on! You started talking about the bath ing at Cape May and the submarines, and then the first thing you know ou'ie on the war and "carrying on." That's just it. These days you can stait on any sub ject you please, but you end tip on the war. Because it's the great vital thing that fills your thoughts, and you can't weir get away from It, can you? Well, anyhow, we're winning, and so that's one thing we can be glad about. T WONDER If women will ever learn not - to believe all they hear, and, above all, not to repeat it? That's pretty hard on your own sex, Nancy! Yes, It Is; but In the majority of cases I'm afraid it's true. Kspecially In these wartimes. We are too inclined to believe all we hear. That tile that went around West Philadelp'.vH hv word of mouth about the Germans cutting out the prisoners' tongues teminds me of a tale I heaid several days ago. And the way the woman who vva.r told the tale handled It should be a lessor, to many. She was called to the phone for a nice little gossip fest, and the girl at the other end, after a few preliminarle.-i, re marked: "Didn't you feel sorry for Mr. and Mrs. J and Frank when the news of James's death in battle came? They were awfully brave," she continued, "aw- fullyjirave, and Mr. J said: 'It's-yaU right. I'm proud to have him give'hls life for hla country.' Poor man," she added, "but of course he could not keep that up all the time, and don't tell this, because he would not want any one to ' know he had weakened, but I 'saw hlrn walking along the road two days Utir and he did not know any one was neav, and he was wringing his hands and' crying and sobbing. It's an awful thing to hear a man sob, isn't It?" she added leallstl cally. Well, her listener kept perfectly quiet until she had finished and then remarked: "Yes, it's ery sad; hut you see Mr. J has been dead for some four years, and It does not sound like him anyhow." That girl happened to know and nailed the ridiculous story at the beginning. Why, oh why, do we not have more common sense and stop the spreading of tales that do not help any one? On the contrary, they simply waste our valuable time. "VTOU remember, of course, that weather a- two weeks ago? I think you heard your friend Nancy say some few more or lets words about It, Well, you should have heard the words that a certain suburbanite said after a merry little experience he had. He was out home on his vacation, f b,ut he found an errand In town so he P could take a short ride In the car with young son, who was very cross and hot. ; ' Bo they started and son was tickled to L death, and of course that pleases Dad a B lot. Th?y went along: at a good speed and were almost cool, when hII at once, ? Just as they reached the busiest, hottest j( part of Market street, faint sneezes and k sniffs were heard from the engine. Now, engines don't get hay fever and Dad had ' a funny feeling: about those sneezes.

If I'd known you were Princess Peggy I'd have been flirting with jou Imig. ago," he declared "Thank jou," replied Peggy "But what's all this m.vsiery," went on General Swallow. "I'm getting all tangled up Here's my dear little wife flirting with strangers; here's murmuring among our Birds against 5011 and I know every one is the soul of loyalty; here are ou, Princess Peggy herself, and I thought ou only a meddlesome Parrot, and now I'd like to know who that Rooster lh. and that Pheasant, too " "The Rooster Is a friend, because be warn ed mu against the spies," answeied Peggy. "I She landed slam-hang on a living cushion think the Pheahant is an enemy T wish Billy Belgium were here to help us.sclve the problem. Have ou seen him?" "Ny," answered Oeneral Swallow "I've been looking for him myself Say, look at that wife of mine flirt I'll pull every feather out of that Pheasant's tall." "Trust your wife," whispered a voice. Peggy and General Swallow turned to find the Rooster beside them "She Is serving Blrdland and the nation." "Who are you?" demanded General Swal low, fluftlng up his feathers. "Never mind now," came the whispered answer. "Knemles are among us. Keep your eyes and ears open " With that the Rooster disappeared amid the frolicking crowd. "There ! You see be Is a friend," said Peggy. "Your wife may be trjing to get Information from the Pheasant." "But i-he needn't look at him as If she liked him better than any one else on earth," muttered Uencrnl Swallow. "I'll help run down thete enemies, and if that Pheasant Is one of them well, you know what they do to spies In the army !" Peggy tried to join in the fun of the Birds, hut tho disloyal talk she had heard and the warning the had received were upper most In her mind. Kverywhere she went she heard little snatches of argument among the birds which showed that some one had been dropping disloyal hints Into their ears. Shrieks of glee came from one corner of the green There Peggy found the Birds gathered around the end or a wire which stretched down the hill and across the little lake. On this wire the Birds were having jolly slides, coasting Into the bushes on the opposite side of the water. "Everybody rides' Everybody rides'" rasped a Turkey Buzzard, who seemed to be In charge of the fun "The price is only two grasshoppers. Everybody rides." Peggy, drawing close, sarvv that the coast ing Birds were perched on little swings such as are found In Bird cages. These swings slid along tho wire carrying the riders tklmmlng 'across the lake and into the bushes. Hlids garbed as Crows assisted the Turkey Buzzard and brought back the swings tor r.cw coavters. As Peggy looked, Judge Owl went whiz zing' down the wire and Bhe laughed at his frantic hoots as he tried to keep his balance on .the swing. R seemed such fun, that she wanted to try It herself, A "It'll Princess Peggy." she h&l a voice whisper near her, "We must jX, her If we want to win the Birds over tCpr side," Peggy whirled around. The squatty Ca nary was just running back Into the dancing crowd. He was evidently the speaker. But to whom was he smaklng?, Peggy looked carefully about her. There were Birds of many kinds about 'the wire, all apparently absorbed In watching the coasting and trying to get in line for a ride. "Everybody rides I Only two grasshoppers a ride," cried the Turkey Buzzard. Then to Peggy's surprise she heard him call her assumed name. "Everybody rides, but only the Witch of the Night rides free." "The Witch of the NlgHt ride free,!' eroaked ked the Crows. Peggy felt herself puaJied ..awl jpulUd, agdtrit fetort, M ,ksew Jwhat 7 XT was happening she had been rushed Into the swing. "The Witch of the Night rides free." cried the Turkey Buzzard, and down the wire shot Peggy. A thrill ran through her. It was fun exciting fun. Involuntarily she pressed on the auto horn "Squawk! Squawk'" It sounded, and the Birds screamed their laughter. Out over the lake skimmed Peggy Then, just as she got In the middle, the wire sud denly sagged It had given away at the lower end Too late, Peggy .realized thai she had been caught in a plot. She was plunging right toward the water In a mo ment she would be .struggling In It Perhaps she would be drowned Letting go the vvlng. Peggy Jumped far out to escape becrmlng entangled In the wire. As Hhe did ho sh,e heard a loud clatter below her and In another second she landed slam-bang on a living cushion that teemed suddenly to rise from the lake. Tomorrow Hill he told hous I'enai) ft saved and how the mysterious ocs are caught.) FORM CLUB AT FACTORY TO AID BOYS OVERSEAS No Dearth of Smokes or Reading Matter for 635 Former Budd Employes Plenty of socks, reading matter, smokes and other comforts are assured the 635 for mer employes of the E.

I may exceed the preroga tives of the ordinary secretary Just a bit. you see. Hut ou can cnunt on one thing 1 shan't be spending any tnone for ou" "You won't send them anj thing, then?' 1 Not a red cent " Miss Flora looked distress"! "But. Mr. Smith. I want to Fnd some of em something. I want to he kind and charitable." tf course ou do, dear ' spoke up Mls Maggie "But you aren't being either kind nr charitable to foster rascallv fakes like that," pointing to the picture In Miss Flora's lap "Are they all fakes, then"" ' I'd slake my life on most nf 'em," declared Mr Smith "They have all the earmarks of fakes, nil right." Mls Klnra stirred restlesslv "But I was having a beautiful time giv ing until these horrid lettern began to come " "Flora, do you give because 11 like the sensation of giving, and of leceivlng thanks, oi because ou really want to help some body?" asked Miss Maggie, a hit wearll.v. "Why .Maggie Puff, I want in help people, of course," almost wept Miss Flora "Well, then, suppose .von tr and give to It will help them, then," said Miss Maggie. 'One of the most risky things In the world, to my way of thinking, is a preent of cash Don't you think so, Mr Smith'' "Er ah-w-hat? Y-es. of course" stam mered Mr. Smith, growing suddenlv. for some unnpparent reason, eiy much confined "Yes jes. I do." As Mr Smith finished speaking, he threw an oddly nervous glance Into Miss Maggie's face. But Miss Maggie had turned back to Miss Flora "There, dear," she admonished her. ' now, ou do just as Mr Smith tavs Just hand ovir our letters to hlrn for 11 while, nnd forget' all about them He'll nil nu how he answers them, of cum re. But ou won't have to woiry about them all) tnoie Be sides, they'll soon stop coming won't they, Mr Smith''" "I think they will. The.v'll dwindle to a few scattering ones, an vva after I've handled them for a while " "Well, I should like that," slplied Mlfs Flora "But can't I give anvtlilng un where"" she besought plalntlvelv Of course .vou can" u led Miss Maggie. "But I would Investigate a llltle, first, iltur. Wouldut vou. Mr Smith" Don't )ou believe In Investigation"' Once again, befoie he answered. Mr. Smith threw a swiftly questioning glance Into Miss Maggie's face. "Yes, oh. es; I believe In investigation." he said then. "And now -MI'S Flora.'' he added briskly, as Mis Floia reached for her wraps, "with vnur kind permission I'll walk home with jou and have a look at my netv Job of secretarylng." CHAPTER IX Sfi Other Flies IT WAS when his duties of secrelar.vship lo Mls Flora had dwindled to almost in flnitesmal proportions that Mr Smith wished suddenly that he were seivlng Miss Maggie In that capaclt.v. so concerned was he over a letter that had come to Miss Mag gie In that morning's mull He himself had taken it from the letter carrier's band and had placed it nn Miss Maggie's little desk Casually, as he did so, he had noticed that It bore a name he reiog nlzed as that of a Boston law firm; but he had given it no fiuth-i thought until later, when, as he sat at his work in the living room, he had heaid Miss Maggie give a low erv and had looked up to find her staring .at' the letter in her hand, her face going from red to white and back lo red again. "Why. Miss Maggie, what is it?" he cried, springing to his feet As she turned toward him he saw that her eves were full of tears. "Why. It It's a letter telling me " She stopped abrupti. hei ees on his face. "Yes, jes, tell me," he begged. "W'liJ. vou are crying, dear'" Mr Smith, plainly quite unaware of the caressing wold he had used, came nearer, his face aglow with sym pathy, his ees very tender The red surged once more over Miss Maggie's face She drew hack a llltle, though manifestly with embarrassment, not displeasure It's nothing, really It's nothing. she stammered. It a Just a letter that that surprised me." "But it made ou cry!" rh well. 1 I cry casllv sometimes" With hands that shook visibly, she folded the letter and tucked it into Us envelope Then, with a carelessness that was a little1 too elaborate, she tossed it into her open desk. Very plainly, whatever she had meant to do In the fiist place, she did not now in tend to disclose to Mr. Smith the contents of that letter. "Miss Maggie, please tell me was It bad news?" , "Bad? Why, of course not !" She laughed Mr." Smith thought he detected a break verv like a sob In the laugh "But maybe I could help you," he pleaded. She shook her head "You couldn't Indeed, you couldn't '" 'Miss Maggie, was It money matters"" He had his answer In the telltale color that flamed instantly Into her face but her lips said: "It was nothing I mean, it was nothing that need concern you." She huiried away then to the kitchen, and Mr Smith was left alone to fume up and down the room and frown savagely at the offending envelope tlptllted against the Ink bottle in Miss Mag gie's desk. Just as Miss Maggies caiefully careless hand had thrown It. Miss Maggie bad several moie letters from the Boston law dim, and Mr. Smith knew it though he never heard Miss Maggie cry nut nt nnv of the other ones. That they affected her deeply, however, he was certain. Her very evident efforts to lead him to think that they were of no consequence would convince him of their real Importance to her If nothing ele had done so. He watched iter, therefore, covertly, fearfully, longing to help bet, but not daring to offer his services. That the affair had something to do with money matters he was sure. That she would not deny this naturally strengthened him 111 this belief. He came In time, therefore, to formulate his own opinion , she had lo-t money perhaps a good deal (for her), and she was too pioud to let hlin or any one else know It. He watched then all the more carefully to see If he could detect any new economies or new deprivations In her dally living Then, because he could not discover any such, he worried all the more ; If she had lost that money, she ought to economize, cer tainly. Could she be so foolish as to carry her desire for secrecy to bo absurd a length as to live Just exactly as before when she really could not afford It? II was at about this time that Mr. Smith requested to have hot water brought to his room morning and night, for which service he Insisted, In spite of Miss Maggie's re monstrances, on paying three dollars' a week extra. There came a strange man to call one day. He was a member of the Boston law firm. Mr Smith found out that much, hut no more. Miss Maggie was almost hysterical after his visit. She talked very fast and laughed a good deal at supper that night; yet her eyes Great demand for ! EVENING rUULIC lEDOR mmj cans you to miss an Installment of this v.ry Interest Ing story.

"And I suppose she thinks she's hiding it from me that her heart Is breaking!" mut tered Mr Smith savagely to himself, as he watched Miss Maggie's nervous efforts to avoid meeting his ees. "I vow I'll have It out of her. I'll have It out tomorrow'" Mr Smith did not "have It out" with Miss Maggie the following da.v, however Some thing entirely outside of himself sent his thoughts Into a new channel lie was alone In the Duff living room, and was idling over his work at his tnble In the cnincr, when Mis Hatlle Blalsdell opened the dnor and hurried III. wringing her hands Her face was red and swollen from tears. ' Where s Maggie? I want Maegl ! Isn't Maggie here"" she Implored Mr Smith sprang to his feet and hastened toward her 'Win. Mrs. Blalsdell, what Is It? No, he isn t here. I'm so sorry! Can't I do anj thing" ' 'Oh. 1 don't knnn I don't know," moaned the woman, flinging herelf Into a chair. 'There cant nnvbody do anything, 1 s'pose , but I ve got tn have somebody. I can't stay there In that houe I can't I can't I can't " "No. no. nf cnure not And nu shan't." soothed Ihe man 'And she'll he hero soon, I'm sure Miss Mnggle will. But Just let me help jou off with jnur thing"," he urged, somewhat awkwnrdlv trving to unfasten her heavy wraps ' Ynu II be so warm here" Vs, I know.

"But what l It ' stammered Mr. Smith helplesvh ran I I do something? Can't I spnd for for vnur huband"" At the mention of her husband, Mrs Blalsdell fell to weeping afresh.
