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,

FIRST CONCRETE SHIP
DEMONSTRATES VALUE
Faith, Weathering Storms Four
Months, Praised hy Shipping
Men
I'nele Sam's first concrete ship, the Fnlth,
has battled with the severe storms of the
Pacific Ocean and has come through with
flying colors Against the elements the big
cargo carrier proved as stnnch,as anj wood
or steel craft, and after four months of serv
ice, In the language of the old salts, Is as
"dry as a bone."
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."

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

CHAPTER XXIV
77ifll Miserable Money
IN THH evening, after the Mnrtin girls
had gone to their rooms, Miss Maggie
and Mr. Smith faced the thing squarely.
"Of course," he began with a sigh. "I'm
really not out of the woods at all. Blissfully
happy as I am, I'm really deeper In the woods
than ever, for now I've got you there with me
to look out for. However successfully John
Smith might dematerUltzo Into nothingness
Maggie Duff can't."
"No, I know the can't," admitted Miss Mag
gie soberly.
"Yet If she marries John Smith, she'll
have to and If she doesn't marry him, hr.Ws
Stanley CI. Fulton going to do his courting-'
He can't come here."
"But he mustn't!" Miss Maggie looked up

The man mada a playfully wry face.
"I Bhall be glad." he observed, "when I
shan't be held oft at the end of a 'Mr.'!
However, we'll let that pass until we settle
the other matter. Have you given any
thought as to how I'm going to tell Cousin
Krank and Cousin James and Cousin Flora
that 1 am Stanley O. Fulton?"
No except that you must do It, she an
swered decldedlyi "I don't think you ought
to deceive them another minute not another
minute,"
"Hm-m." Mr Smith's eyes grew reflective.
'And had you thought as to what would
happen when I did tell them?"
Why, n-no, not particularly, except that
that they naturally wouldn't like It, at first,
and that you'd have to explain Just, as you
did to me why yo& did It." ;
"And do you think they'll like It any better
when I do explain? Think!"

PEdOY rushed to the hollow tree and thrust
the bag of gold Into It Then she piled
tin stones back Into tho opening She had
scarcely Mulshed when Blue Jay set earned a
second warning.
"Peg-peg"' Hun-run"'
Peggy duclged behind the tree Pp the hill
scrambled the robber, going stinlght to wheie
he had left his ti ensure. Peggy heatd him
pulling out the stones,
"Queer" ho muttered, 'these don't seem
to be piled the way I left them last night
Can some one have been here?" He thrust
his hand Into the opening
Peggy had felt a funtiv tickling in her noe
ever since i.he had put the gold hack. Pos
sibly she had inhaled some dry tiee. dust
Now the tickling was growing acute and to
her horror she found she was going to sneeze
Doperatel sho tried to stop it, but she could
hold It back no longer
"A-chcw '" she went, and again "A-chew '"
Onl a bird!" lie muttered savagely
The effect on tho tobber was lustuntn
ncous. Peggy heard .i startled grunt. Tha
Blue Jay scream, d "Peg-peg' Hun-run!"
But Peggy couldn't run She peemed unable
to stir. There came a -liaip click from the
other side of the tret, then a quick rush Be
fore her stood the robber Jn his hand was a
gleaming revolver pointed directly at hei
"I'm n goner now!" thought Peggy, dos
ing her eves
Nothing happened, nnd Peggy, much sur
prised, opened her eves to find tho robber
looking wildly around and up and down. He
louldn't see her. Of a sudden Peggy remem
bered she vvas hidden by Camouflage Per
fume. She almost laughed aloud In her
relief
The same thought seemed to strike Blue
Jny, who had been dancing up and down ex
citedly on n limb above the robber's bend.
He stood still, and to Peggy's surprise gave
a funny Bird sneeze.
The robber looked up quickly. Ills alarm
turned Into disgust
'Only a Bird," he muttered savagely.
"Gosh, how It startled me "'
Stooping down he picked up a stone and

returned the sack of gold to the tree and
closed up tho entrance. y&
"There, I've placed that red and white- ?
stone with the red side facing out. If any
one disturbs my treasure I'll know It," he
muttered Peggy though to herself that shs . '
would be very careful to see that tho Btone ,vty

With a final el.ince all around the robber ?L
strode down tho hill toward his cave Peggy
waited until he was out of sight, then ran
around the tree nnd again pulled out the
guarding stones.
"That was n fine sneeze!" she called to
Blue Jay, who flew down beside her.

"Where can we move this money?" she

Throw It into the river," he replied, care
lessly. "But if you want to keep It. I know
a hollow- log where you can hide It "
P ggy found there were a lot of tacks to
be moved Fortunately, however, most of the
money wns In bills, and these were easy to

She ieplacd the stones In the tree, being
particularly careful to get the red and white
stone Just right As she finished the Job
the Jays gave an alarm.
"Peg-peg! Look out!"
The robber vvas coming up the hill. To
Peggy's astonishment he walked right up to
the log wheie she had hidden the money.

thinks a ahost is after him.)
