f-Philadclphiaiis in Lenox Others Leave Bar Harbor for Home.
', t Nancy Wynne Tells About Several Meetings of
m . Soldiers in France Other Matters
HAVE jou noticed what a number of
' rhiladelphians ate now in Lenox'.' Jt
tuna to be the place to g-o between leaving
the coast ' resorts, and comlns home, f r
tome persons do not care to open their
town houses before October.
.The Harlan Pages and their daughter,
Miss Jessie Allen rage, have been motor
ing through New England and stopped
yesterday at Lcnov for three or four dajs.
And Mlsa Anne Meigs, who spent the sum
mer 'at Newport at the Convent of the
Qenacle, as she has done for several yeari,
la in Lenox staying with Miss Emily AV.
Blddle, of 122 South Twenty-second btreet.
Miss Eiddle has a beiutlfut old place In
Lenox and Bpends most of her summers
there. She gave a dinner last evening in
honor of Miss Meigs.
rpiIK Robert K. Griffiths have been hav-
-; ing a wonderful tlip thiough Canada by
motor. They have been going for two
weeks and have seen some marvel6us
nights. For Canada has been in the war
t four years, while wo have only had eight
een months of It so far; but the tide Is
turning now. and I beliee it will be ovei
eoon, don't you? To return to the subject
in hand, did you know the Griffiths hae
given up their house in Haverford and aie
living off and on with their daughter. Mrs,.
Nd Page, in Brjn Mawr? That is. they
tike, a. good many tiips aiound together
by motor and go iifto town for a month -so
in the winter. But KlisSibeth has her
small baby and her house to look after, and
her husband Is in France, wo it's a good
arrangement for them to siend most of
the tinie with her.
' Speaking of the Pages, did j ou heai that
Neddy and Roddy had not seen each other
"for months, and both left this, side before
theie was any possibility of a meeting'
"Who do you think was the first person
Neddy met when he landed In Trance".'
None other than Roddy, who was Just there
fcy chance and was just .is surprised as
Neddy was.
I THINK those chance meetings "over
there" must be perfectly wonderful.
Don't youV Only the other da) t hcaitl
that Baldy Edwards, on his arrival ovei
seas, had been wondering how he would
getinto communication with his cousin,
Doctor Fettcrman. He was in Paris and
he decided to go to the Madeleine to church
that day. After church, as he came out
of the side door, whom did he meet comlns
from the center door but that same cousin.
TVilfred Fetterman. And those thing-i hap
pen all the time.
ANOTHER instance, one of our Red
Cross workers who went over recently
Tvas not a'ssigned to his field woik imme
diately, so he offered to help in the hos
pitals. TVell. the second eenlng he was
asked to help wash and bind up abounded
man who had just come in. Imagine his
astonishment when the mud and blood
' were removed to hear Irwin Garrett ex
claim, "Charlie Jennings! Where on earth
did you come from'.'" And there Irwin was.
Tou know he had bqen reported bllghtly
wounded, and had been able to be for
warded to Paris, while the more benous
cases were treated nearer the front; and
oneTof the first men to help him was Charlie
Jennings, a man he'd known, for many
years, and who had gone over in JUIy for
field 'work In the Red Cross.
BAR HARBOR is losing a number of its
.vmmer residents. Dr. and Mrs.
fii.. j'on Taylor will leave there next week
and Mrs. T. De "Witt Cuyler is expected
iritlaverford during the same week. The
Frank .Pattersons came down this week
and have opened their house at 2200 St.
James place. The Swimming Club closes
this month and the tearooms and other en
ticements to general enjoyment will close
before October 1. It has been a -v cry good
rummer up there, however, they tell me.
IT'S' strange the various kinds of hap
Openings one hears as one flits from
place.topki.ee. Sometimes they are touch
ing, very, touching stories; again they are
funny or cute, humorous or stupid, but
generally very human. Sometimes, how
ever, the things one hears about are decid
edly, reprehensible,
i.1 have heard time and again that some
few but thank goodness, ery few of
- px boys who have not seen foreign serv
ice yet aie taking their duties rather
easily' on this side. Still, I did not believe
that any -would stoop to trying to get leae
b,untfuc means, did yoU? Well, this story
iS'true, and I'm telling it because perhaps
one -or two others who 'take the war and
its obligations, lightly may stop and think
for awhile in their hearts,
,The boy in question is vciy joung: and
r fc.e'.was dying for a. furlough. So he wrote
fp- a friend in his home town and said
frjend. unthinkingly complied with hlo
rftQUest. In a fey? days a telegram came
signed with thcNboy'a father's ..name. It
said, "Don very .ill. Come home at once."
He took it to his commanding officer
andsighlng sadly, said. "My brother."
Permission was given and he left on a
furlough of several days. When he reached
home "Don" was "on the porch to meet
htm, wagging his tail and barking sin illy
with joyv For .Don. you peicelve, was a
dog no more nor less, and a dog that could
. not hide his joy at seeing; his master. But
at the same time, he- was not his biother
and not, ill, and thut boy obtained leave
through false pietenses.
la a case such as this it would seem
best, if the truth, were found out, because
ha should bo punished. An American boy
should noer be so deoid of truth and
honor as to lower himbelf to acting an
untruth, even If ho wau nearly dead from
homesickness.

JIM BURKE, of Pittsbuigh, the Hon.
James Francis Burke that was, blew
into Ills old seat in the House, flowing
necktie and all, to sUe up the revenue
situation. Long associated with ex-Lieutenant
Governor Walter Lvon in tho prac
tire of the, law west of the Alleghenies,
Jim has clients now who will be touched
by the new Kltchln McAdoo bill Ho also
has a growing family, a handsome, homo
in the fashionable end of the Smoky City,
and a jumplng-off .place for the heated
term in Canada. When Jim comes to
town and General Johnson, U. S. A., for
merly distilct commissioner, is not about,
he mioses something, for the pair were
gitat friends, but Jim's appearances do
bring back pleasant lecollectlons of the
days when the Constitution counted for
something, for Jim was ceitntnlv "some
expoundei" of the Constitution.
Incident H hi tecent visit was the
reminder that tho House has three mem
beis who are "survivors" of the Johns
town flood. If Jim had teturned there
would be four--Buike, Moore and Rose, of
Pensylvanta, and Walton, of New Mexico.
Burke, lepresentlng the Pittsburgh Dis

He was a product of tho University of

had become a reporter. Moore camo in
