Well, that's going to be the difference out at Bryn Mawr. And, somehow, 1 think those scouts could have a permanent Job there it they so desiie. T HEAR that at least one bundled women hao given thel.' names as patronesses of the show. It's all for the war benefit, you know, and judging fiom the other shows given in this country since our cntiy Into the war will doubtless add Kieatly to the coffeis of the war ciimitlps which 1111 our thoughts these dajs. rpH13 women on the committee are cer- talnly worlJhig like trojans to make the whole thing a success, and Mis. Straw bridge tells me that Mrs. Charlie Munn, who heads the prize committee, has re ported splendid results. As I think I told k ,ou, the liiizes aie to include several patriotic things such as Llbeity Bonds rind War Stamps. Mrs. Xed Browning and Mis. Charles .Coxe have only a few boxes left to sell. Mrs. Archibald Barklle has obtained many promises of aid for the cafeteria she will lun at this show as she did at Devon. Tor that was one great success! My! but wasn't that vegetable salad good? The mayonnaise was simply "delish," and as for the other eats well, those who like good eats had better go out to that show with a purse- full of nickels, and dimes and quarters, and thejil get good eats and at reasonable pi Ices.
