Nancy Wynne Tells of Red Cross Benefit in Cape May De
lightful Hostess House at Ocean City Lancaster
Inn for Convalescents
XTOU know there's been quito a Red
' Crnsfi rirtvA enlnc? nn clnnn nt Pnnev
May, and It's to end vlth a banR-tip IiIr
time tomorrow. I heard today that a con
Cert had been planned to bo given on the
ler by the Y. M. C. A. commlMec. And
they have asked tho Orpheus Quartet from
Philadelphia to go down and slnR "In u
Persian Garden" for them. You know tlio
quartet does this sort of thlnR fot vailoiH
benefits, and the members hne i pally been
kplendld this season helping dlffeient war
.works.
In June they gave an out-of door per
formance of this K:uti Kong cycle In the
Botanical Guldens. They vveat nppropilate
costumes and carry out everything to
make the plctuie for the eye us well as
the sound for tho ear.

Miss Edna Harmon Baughct Is the so-
l1rano, and Mlis i;il.,ibeth Dickson con-
Jto, Philip Warren Cooke Is the tcnoi
and Donald Redding the barytone. And
11 the voices are good, Indeed mote than
good, so I predict that tomot tow's per
formance will rank with the best eer
given in Cape May. And tint's going
ome!
Tho two women In the quattet hae
'won great applause thli jear singing In
the various hospitals and holdlers' camps.
'Just think, they hae been to Dlv, Cape
May, 'WIssahlckon Bnracki, Allentown,
liewes, Del; Jxie, Va.; Somerton, Gettv.n
burg. Fort du Pont nnd several othem.
And to say the men hae been pleased Is
putting It mildly. The quartet goes as
Often as possible, but sometimes the men
cannot get "away, so the two women hae
been constantly in demand.
HAVE jou heard about the Hostess
Hnusn In firenn i"!lf v ? It In lintnun
in being the only one of Its kind ulong
the coast, 1 am told. -
Of course, thete are other Hostess
Houses, but they are usually connected
' with the coups, where men in tho service
can entertain the women membeis of their
families who go to see them. This one at
Ocean City, hovvevei, Is entliely dlffeicnt.
lit is situated light on the boardwalk, In a
building donated by Mrs Oswald J. De
Pousse, of Germontown. Thov gie
board, lodging, bathing suits and entet
talnment to anv body In the serlce without
cost. Th,e "house was opened Julj 1 and
In the Hist week entertained 400 men In
the last six weeks they hue enteitalned
about 1000 men.
The idea of this kind of a hostess house
originated with Mrs. Kenton Warne, a cot
tager at Ocean City. While out walking
one evening she heaid two siilors asking
s policeman If there was a club unjwheie
down there where they could go When
he replied In the negative, the seemed
so disappointed that Mrs. Warne began to
think and think. That veiy ecning she
called on seeral fi lends, and by the next
morning the Hostess House was an estab
lished idea and soon became u living fact.
In the first week of Its existence the fit e
broke out at the camp in Tuckahoe, so
they helped entertain the soldiets from
there. Recently a new upright piano was
given to the house by Mrs Alfied Gray.
Mrs. R. McX. Davis gae the use of a
beautifully furnished aputment to the
Hostess House foi the lemalnder of the
eason, and thus the women In eliarge of
the undet taking have been able to etitei
taln seven convalescent sallois fiom the
Philadelphia Navy Yard. Mis Andiew Paul
Has also donated rooms In her apattment.
Plans are on foot to celebrate "Heio
Day, but the date has not vet been .settled
Upon. Mrs. Kenton Wmne Is chaliman,
and the other hostesses are Mrs. Oswald J.
De Rousse, Mis Andrew Giay, Mis. litis-
cell, Miss Anna Craeth, Mrs Maschal, .Mrs.
Frank Campion, Mrs. R. A. Whetstone,
Mrs. M. Noble, Mrs. Welmer, Mrs. Mc-
Caughn, Mrs. Crawford, Mis Dot man, Mis.
John Flte, Mrs. Smlthson and Mis. A. L,

DID you know that I.ancastei Inn has
been given to the Bnn Mawr Hospi
tal as a Home for Convalescent Soldleis?
In't that fine? That's one reason why
the hospital committees are so anxious
"that the Hoise Show shall be a success,
for the proceeds, jou know, ate to go to
the hospital. And as there is quite a little
deficit now, it is felt that that mu3t be met
first before the war work of the hospital
la further enlaiged. You know they are
iking care of the members of soldleis'
nd sailors' families fiee of charge, and
it is certainly a great woik, Is it not?
jr. I do hope the Horse Show is a suc-
It's for such a worthy cause. Mrs.

ITrELL, girls
and boys, there's an
engagement coming out soon. In
fact, it's coming out sooner than the party
vof the first part and the party of the sec
ond part had originally nuenaea; out tnen
you see they had not reckoned qn the small
cousin of "the girl In the case," who was
playing in the corner of the loom the other
y when they were talking together one
'late afternoon. In fact, as Is the way with
,lovers now and again, they quite forgot
''that there was any one else in the world
tbut they two, let alone In the room. And

fa, half, would have noticed them. But that
night at bedtime, yt hen Eleanor was being
tucked into the soft white sheets, the "girl
in the case" passed the door and Eleanor
'ailed out in her flutelike small voice.
"Cousin I , Cousin M , w'y you like
J r to kiss you so much?"
Wasn't It awful? Yes, it was. And, as
l remarked, it's going to be announced
taoon, because the family had to be told
(after that; and when a family of that size
Is told that is, when it extends to cousins
it sure is apt to get out. So "We've Just
jtot to announce it, dear," sighs M ,
nd smiles delightedly, because he knows
ce she announces the engagement she'll
kely be persuaded soon to name the

ADOPT PLAN TO LIFT
BURDEN FROM MAILS
Emergency Aid Purposes to Check
Circulation of Postal
Advertising
A cnmpalgn to eliminate useless matter
from tho malls to help lighten the heavy
burden under which the Government Is
working has been started by the victory
committee of the Emergency Aid
Regardless of the strain on the postal
service, n, bulletin Issued by the committee
points out that many persons receive dally
some sort of advertisement, circular or mail
ing card which Is of no Interest to them and
which adds to the waste and high price of
paper as well as to the overhead charges
of the advertising firms
The committee urges every citizen man
and woman to have post cards printed with
the following form: "I am not Interested In
, and will aBk you to take my name off
jour mailing list, I do this with the patri
otic object of saving paper and clearing the
malls."
The name and address, the same as that
used by the advertisers, should be clearly'
given, and it may be necessary to follow
up such a notice with a second, as large
firms with a wide market may have different
distributing agencies.
Lojai firms, it Is said, will be grateful for
this assistance and such others as do not
appear to be overpowered with gratitude may
eventually be reported to the proper author!
