(' Uk - JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE nancy Wynne Tells of Turning Saturday Club at- Wayne Into Service Mouse Four Little Boys Are Welcomed in Society Other Matters Discussed T"VID you know that the Saturday Club of Wayne had been turned Into a ervice house for the duration of the war? Yes, It has, and gome of the time Is given over to entertaining the marines who are at Camp Puller, In Paoll. Every Friday night there are dances given for these boys. An awfully good Idea Is to limit the lnvl. tatlons for these affairs, for then the floor does not become too crowded for dancing. - The club has adopted this method of pro cedure and "Invites" are limited to mem bers and their daughters only, as hostesses, and the guests .consist In the marines. Last Friday there were about n hundred boys and girls, and the music was simply splen did. Mr. Norman J. Coudert, who Is famous In all Wayne events, was the drummer. The patronesses were Mrs. Marshal Hughes Smith, president of the club; Mrs. whww George B. Stone, Mrs. AV. Allen Barr, Mrs. William H. Roberts. Jr., Mrs. Roger Mitchell, Mrs. Arthur Holmes and Mrs. Henry Roever. The club also has a Red Cross unit, Which meets every Tuesday under the leadership of Mrp. Charles Kennedy. And they are doing splendid work. Just think, on that memorable Wednesday recently when the thermometer registered' 10G they turned out twenty flnlihed garments. That waa some record, don't you think? SMALT, sons seem to be the fashion dur lng the last week, do they not? Did you know that there Is a young Samuel W. Morris, Jr. Yes, Indeed, and he made his bow to the World last week. His mother was the beautiful Mrs. Straw bridge, and before her first marriage was Barbara Warden, a sister of Mr. William Warden. Her first husband died some five or bIx years ago, and she married Sam Morris about a year since. Another little man Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Geoffrey Blddle nnd was born en Tuesday. Then the Henry Rawle Geye- 11ns have a small son, who was born on August 18. Still another boy Is the dear little baby of Mr. and Mrs. George Gowen Parry, of Chestnut Hill. Mrs. Parry was Gaily Fox. a daughter of Mrs. George Fox, and a sister of Mrs. Arthur Brockle, George and Joe Fox. Mrs. Geyelln, you remember, was Gladys Marks, of England, a sister of the Captain Marks who married Nancy Holllngsworth, it this city. The qeyellns have lived In New York ever since their marriage. Doc tor Geyelln Is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Laussat Geyelln, of Villnnova, and a brother of Tooy Geyelln, who married Marie Flagg. His sister, Beatrice Geyelln, married "Bill Churchman, you remember, tome four or five years ago. Bill Church man Is a captain In the service and Is now Stationed in the West. I HEAR that Gladys Earle Mather sur nrlnpd her family last week and "walked In on them" for a two weeks' visit. Gladys had been with her husband, Captain Gilbert Mather, down at Camp Sam Houston, San Antonio, Tex., all spring, and Just recently Gilbert was transferred from the cavalry to the artillery and sent to the School of Fire at Fort Sill, Okla. Gladys went out there with him, but a desire for a glimpse of home faces made her decide on a hasty Visit. Few families, I think, can boast of a aervlce flag like that of Mr. nnd Mrs. Earlo at Btoad Acres, their home In Bryn Mawr. They have one on which six blue stars gleam proudly in the sun. They have two sons in the service and four sons-in-law. Three of their daughters are at the various camps with , their husbands. George H. Earle, 3d, Is 'an ensign In the naval re serves, and is now stationed in Boston, Mass. Ralph is a second lieutenant in the signal corps, U. S. A., and Is statlon6d In Washington. Captain Victor Mather, who married the eldest daughter, Catherine Earle, is with the remount department, V. S. A., overseas. Mrs. Mather and her two children are at their home in Haver ford, Avonwood Cottage. Then Victor's brothqr, Captain Gilbert Mather, married QladyB last August and Hansell Earle mar ried "Bud" Patterson. "Bud," In other words, Joseph M. Patterson, Jr., is In the Ordnance Department and is stationed at Watertown, in New York. His wife nnd baby are with him at present. Then, Edith, the last of the Earlo girls to marry and bs-the next to the youngest, Is the wire oi IV. v.n.ien Alden Lee, who recently was grau- uated from Annapolis. Ho is on sea duty now, but Edith is able to see him once in a while, when his ship puts in. Lawrence Beggs is another son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Earle. He married Frances, the second daughter, some years ago. Ho Is not in the service, but is doing Govern ment work In his business. Mrs. Earle her ielf Is also very busy with war-relief work, o you see that Is one family which is tfving much to the great cause. 'AND has not the Houston family given Xiof Its utmost? Houston Woodward, killed several months ago, and now Lieu tenant Henry Houston. As I said a few "days ago, almost every day It's another of the men you've known and liked and danced with and had delightful talks with at dinner or the theatre, and now there they are "over there" fighting, suffering, dying and all to keep the Germans from coming over here to devastate our homes and our country and violate all the laws of hu manity In this country, as In other coun tries, as they will until they are wiped finally and entirely off the map, NANCY' WYNNE.

It was said that If consumers lncreasu the pur chase of quarts of milk, rather than pints, the price may t-en go lower According to dealers, the cost of making, filling nnd handling pint bottles Is greater, ns Is also the less by breakage and non returns.

This tribute to the Faith was paid tedav hy O. M. Scodeld. president of the Scdtleld Engineering Company, of 'his city Mr. Sco fleld has just returned from San Plego. Cnl.. where his company is building a shipyard for the construction nf concrete ships. While on the Pacific coast he studied the performances nf the murh-tnlked-about Faith that was launched In San Francisco on Morch 14, and he has rctdrned to Philadelphia with the firm conviction that the Faith marks a new era In American shipbuilding. Since the Oovernment contracted for the Faith, certain stenm.shlp builders nnd ma riners have viewed the craft with Fkeptlclsm They had little hope in the new craft and were certain that It would not stand t he tests of ocean storms. "Their misgivings." says Mr. Scofleld. "wero groundless, for after four months' actual service the ship Is as stanch, as the day sho slid Into the ocean. A few weeks ago the shin was caiicnt In a heavy storm and received a test that Is given to few vessels. (Jrent seas smashed her about, tumbled on her decks and administered a severe lashing, but the craft came through with flying colors and Justified the promises of her sponsors. In that storm the concrete hull was not damaged, and strange. to relate, the Inside llnlner of concrete, was so dry that one could rub off the soft surface. Mr. Scofleld's company Is building a yard at .m rlffo for th construction of eight concrete vessels for the Government. The first launching Is scheduled for February t. Five vnrds at Jacksonville, Fla. ; Mobile, Ala : Wilmington, N. C. ; San Francisco and San Diego have obtained contracts for eight ships each, and Inside of thirteen months more than thirty ships of the Faith type will bo In service. Despite the success of the Faith and the many concrete vessels that have been con structed In Holland, France, Denmark and Sweden. It Is not likely that this type of craft will be constructed at Philadelphia. Mr Scofleld says that climatic conditions In this section of the country do not meet the re quirements of concrete ship construction, and that for the present California will continue to be the Ideal legation. "At San Diego," he says, "we have little rain and even temperatures. This condition permits us to season the concrete properly, which Is so essential In the work. Low tem peratures and heavy rains so common In this section retardconstructlon."

OUR BOYS SWIM DAILY IN LOUIS XIV'S POOL Convalescent Soldiers Farm and Play in Parks Built hy Grand Monarch Special Cable to Eveninp Public Ledger Copyright, lilt, bu Sew York Times Co. l'nrln, Aug 20. Many unexpected things follow the flag In this war. For example, fresh green vegetables go to American soldiers at the front. One of the hlg park areas, paid for by Louis XIV. at Versalles, Is now a great truck farm, op erated by nearly 300 convalescent American soldiers. Sixty per cent of these men have been gassed. It has been discovered by medi cal authorities that the best thing for men recovering from the gas attack Is light work In tho open air. Hence tho truck farms. One form I visited at Vei sallies contains 350 ncres and has soldiers vioiklng, all of whom hao been transferred from fighting units to the supply service of the quartermaster's de partment. As a result of skillful gardening methods great camions, filled with new pota toes, cabbages, peas and beans are tent off to the front nearly cverv day. Herman Devlne, formerly a teacher In the New Jersey Agricultural College, and now an army sergeant.ls the agricultural expert In charge of the work. Five young American women are working with the soldiers In the Versailles farm as student gardeners, to gain experience for their later work of reclamation in devastated re gions of northern Frnnce. Yhllo I was at the farm a sergeant called my attention to a group of soldleis going toward a woods, explaining that they were going for a swim. I asked "where"? "Over In Louis's swimming pool," he said; "one of those that Louis made In this park. He was the fourteenth In the batch He had a lot of favorite jrls out here at Versailles with him.
