I& l s ly I s. t lr A (ST GOSSJPABOUT PEOPLE Nancy Wynne Tells of Crowds at War Horse Show Numbers of Persons Still at Seashore A Peach Stone Episode IT SEEMED ns It every one wanted to malte up for the bail weather on Friday by (joins Saturday, ami to say there were mnny people at tho Horse Show wduld bo putting it mildly. Tho world and his wife were there, and there were lots of other people's wives, too, and some husbands. Altogether, It was a brilliant Bight. The lfftlo Willing girl and Emily SlnUlor and several other children, dressed as little gypsies, were too cute for anything In tholr donkey wagon, which they drove around selling peanuts to the crowds from baskets on tho cart. Mrs. Altemus had a group of "orange ades," as she called them. They are tho Falls of Schuylkill branch of the Emer gency Aid Aides, an;t they wear blue suits with yellow cloth collars nnd cuffs and small dark-blue service hats. All of the suburban branches of tho E. A. A.'s wear blue and yellow. Mrs. Altemus dub bed tho girls "orangeades" herself, and It seemed good to me. Dgn't 'ou think so? TkEIlE havo been a numoer of people down at Bay Head this season, and many of them are still staying on. Tho Henry Pratt McKean have a cottage there, and tho Houston Dunns. Speaking of tho Houston Dunns reminds me of tho death of Mrs. Dunn's uncle, Mr. Taylor, last week. Mrs. Dunn was Elsie Taylor, you remember, a sister of Mrs. John Wil cox, who lives at 711 Pino street. Usually the Dunns spend the summer at Bristol, but this year they went to Bay Head. They hnvo sovcral of tho dearest children. Mr. Taylor was a wonderful old man and will be greatly missed. ' THE Yardleys, Manns and Franklin Bakers aro also at Bay Head, and tho Leopold Seyfferts spent the week-end at tho resort. Havo you ever been down there? It's a perfect spot In summertime. Small, but so much to do, on account of the wldo Inlet bay for the sailing nnd motor boating, which Is tho rage there. Then another diversion is the beach parties. They aro simply great! You get about thirty people together and you get somebody's car and you run them down about two miles over the sand dunes, ten at a time, Including a water cooler, from which you usually lose all the water before you get there. Then you carry much bacon, oh! much bacon, which you cook on a wood flro and drop in the sand and eat when It's full of said sand. You also bring milk and cofteo and other bev erages In thermos bottles, and sandwiches made of war bread; and you run races in the sand and havo tho time of your life. For you forget that time has changed and you are no longer sixteen, and you act like a flapper and forget to be dignified. It really Is great fun. E LIZABETH CLAY nnd Dorothy Bullitt, tho Roberts twins, did a wonderful business in Bay Head this summer. They started a wool shop thero last year, you know, and would you believo It? They had so much to do, they had to get Kath erlne Xewbold to come down and help. I think It's splendid. And It you could see the lovely thing3 they make! They are awfully pretty! Dorothy has threo of the darllngest little girls Dorothy Frothlngham, Maria and Mary. And you should hear little Dotty speak French. OF COURSE, we are all doing every thing we can to help the Red Cross! And it's simply wonderful how the peach stones, for Instance, accumulate. Why, at the Independence Squa'ro auxiliary they have taken In flvo barrels full already! And various workers at the auxiliaries have even gono so far as to put barrels or boxes out in front of their own doors for peach Atones. They are great reminders, you know. One day last week I went to call on a friend, who is Immensely Interested In col lecting tho stones. She has even gone so far as to put a box on the steps of her porch, and a3 she lives in the partially "built-up" part of Chestnut Hill, she has collected a nujnber from her friends, nnd neighbors. She has a cousin, who has recently told her of her engagement, and sho was telling me about It and said: "I have not met the man yet, but I under stand he is very attractive. Ho has a limousine, and Helen told mother they would come out soon to see her nnd then ho would take her riding In the car." "That's very nice," said I, and wo talked on on other subjects. About ten minutes later a smart-looking limousine drove up to tho entrance to the place and the chauffeur got down and came toward the gate. My friend exclaimed, "That must be his car now." And wo set tled ourselves to wait for the chauffeur to ring tho bell and ask for aomc one, when, to our lnllnlte amusement, the chauffeur walked to the box on the step, and taking a small packet from his pocket, opened it nnd dropped from It about eight peach stones Into tho box. feeing us on the porch,-he removed his cap respectfully and then walked back and started off in tho car. It was a wonder that our laughter was not heard in the next block. I'll never for get It as long as I live. - NANCY WYNNE. Social Activities Mrs. Alexander J.

It Is the hope of Red Cross workers to fill the order In seven days. All sorts of garments will ho accepted, no matter what size or whether for man. woman or child. The only requirements are that tho materials be strong and suitable fir pro tection agnlnst the cold. Fancy dresses, high hats, straw hats, derbies and silk nnd satin dancing slippers will not be accepted, Tho Belgians are facing a desperate need of clothing. Anparel cannot bo bought and some of the Inhabitants, of the stricken coun try are wearing garments of flour sacks and burlap nnd shoes made of carpet. Blankets, sheets, tablecloths, which have been used for clothes, can no longer be had. A letter has been received by the Red Cross from a Belgian woman which conveys some idea of the destitution that Is the lot of all classes: . "Perhaps you will laugh when you hear that I wear a cloak made from my husband's gardo clviquo overcoat, a waist from his football shirt nnd a skirt mado of a dyed bed sheet. Mother has a suit made of the tablecloth; J. and M. have cloaks made of woolen blankets and S. a dress made of burlap. But all this Is only amusing in com parison with the wretchedness of the popula tion. After all, we remain calm nnd confi dent of victory."

CHAPTER XIII (Coiuiniiotl) MIRANDA'S voice shrilled with excitement. IIo was elated with' the Importance of his discovery. And it was Important. The spot they had chosen for their lunch was the furthest point they had reached in their ex plorations, the point where Miranda had turned back to take Mrs. Qu.iyle nut of the cavo ami where they had last seen Raoul Arthur. It was marked by a huge pyramidal rock rising from thu Moor of tho cine. Along one side of this rock the path they had fol lowed went on indefinitely, In a gradual up ward Incline. It was to the other side that Miranda eagerly called attention. Placing his bottle of claret down on the roek beside him, he got on his knees and, with his none almost touching the ground, nude a minute study of the floor of the cave. F.ven Andrew felt tho contagion of the doctor's excitement. Fruits, hollos, cassavas were abandoned pell mell as one and all .scrambled to their feet, eager to find out what new puzzle Miranda had managed to pick up The light from their lamps cast huge, uncertain shadows .on the Irregular matses of rock that everywhere blocked the v cw At first there was nothing to be seen that differed essentially from what they had grown accustomed to In this subterranean b.lV VrUr,, wan the same chaos of Jagged .....' ;,! nnd bowlders, tho same display or WIII1U. .. .1 onmn lrteslstlble energy that M""-'Y -"---. .,.. ,,,! had been let looso and played Itself out here ages ago nut t U,o midst of It all. zigzagging thiough thl L.mf , n.tv forms, there was the new pat Hut in his nrtzn of dusty forms, there was tne new pain ntnzo oi """ ' ..

"Perhaps," agreed Miranda Where could ho have gone-" asked l,,a. This path runs In nearly the s.i.no direction uV the one we followed." "We will see." a matter of fact, the two paths start-mi- together at the central rock and going hence m the same general di.ection grad a llv diverged from each other, much as do ?h two lines that form the letter V. Then inothJ? difference was noticeable Tho first path followed a comparatively uniform level; ho second dipped steadily downward. This tno aej-o"" "f . d ny M'randa. appealer! SarticS aVly to Herrany Oloom had been he dominant mood with the general ever imce ho had entered the case. He had made slate no m d ha.,peneiJ roenui i"- ' . . ,h riiHcuas0ns of but he had not i he naa noi ni - . . . This was partly due to his Ig- the others. Ae-nce. of Kngllsh, partly to a sense of re n Klblllty that he felt as a citizen of Bo S1o?a whose duty It was to guide a party of feigners safely through one of the dlt.lcult regUns of his native land. But now, at last, r had something to say. something that was SSe , from him as their leader. Tugging at h"s beard In characteristic fashion, he gave the result of his, observations In tere Span- ish. "At first we go away from the lake. Then we come back to It. Just a little. Then we go away. Now this path take us right there aB"Tliat la It," agreed Miranda. It sounded rather mixed up, and no one rcild much attention to It. Hut at least it nut Oencral Herran In a better humor. "Perhaps this will take us out of the cave," uiiKested Andrew. 'The path Is nearly In the right direction."- I hope it means water, anyway,1 Una, thlnklne of Mrs. Quayle. Mid SPECTATOR v , They gathered up what was left of their provisions and set off again, single file, down tho new path, (leneral Herran In the lead, Andrew bringing up the rear. They had not gone many yards before they noticed tho marked dlffeience In the two paths. At first the change In level was scarcely perceptible; but now the descent became more and more abrupt, and ns there was less sand nnd gravel for a foothold they found the smooth surface of the locks, tilted often at a sharp angle, anything but easy going. Another peculiarity that soon caught their attention was the letsenlng height of the cave's roof. I'ntil now this ioof had been so far above them that tlK-y had to throw their heads way back to see it, and even tin n It appeared In only vnguo outlines Now it took a down ward curve that brought It nrnicr and neater to them. Following tile same descending sweep It was e Ident that floor and roof would slim fly come together and the con tines, at least of that portion of the cae, would bo leached Along with this new archltec.ural feature In tho structure of the cai there was a noticeable change ill Hie character of the rock forming it. Walls and floor had, until now, been sharp and Jagced In contour, dull, almost black. In color. Hut the unevenness of surface was disappearing. The rocks were smoother, as If Morn and rounded by constant rubbing. Vivid lolors gleamed from wall and column with a pristine freshness suggesting that this part of tho cave belonged to a far moro distant period than tho great rock chamber 111 which they had stopped to take their luncheon. Finally, they were surrounded at every hand by those spear-Uke formations, thrust upward from tho floor or depending from thn roof, that give to the Interiors of most caes their fantastic appearance the stalactites and stalagmites about, whose ori gin in the workshop of Nature there can be no doubt This change had an Invigorating effect upon the t xplorers. Passing from the unie lleved gloom of the first cavern Into this fairy-built grotto, with Its bright hues and pleasing shapes, they began to forget their fears and folt Instead something like tho real enjoyment that belongs to unexpected adventure. Kverythlng In the way of glo rious surprise seemed possible. For one thing, .Miranda's confident prediction was apparent ly about to be realized, a probability that the doctor celebrated by alternate chuckles and grunts of satisfaction. "If we don't find water, there Is at least no doubt that water has once been here," de rlartd Lelghton. "These stalactites mako that certain." "You will see- -you will see." persisted Miranda. "It is the Lake Cuatavita." 'Ilow can that be?" aigued Lelghton. "Xo opening of the lake into this cavo has ever been discovered" "You will sue." One might almost imagine that the In tricacies of the caw were as familiar to the doctor as the formula for his celeb, nted pills. Hut his confident attitude was only one part genuine to three parts bravado. He enjoyed opposing a scientist showing such supreme self-possession as Lelghton, and he delighted In startling statements of fact that merely bewildered his hearers. Hut he was by no means sure In his own mind of the truth, or even tho probability, of the theory he was advancing. General Herran, however, who had heard ns far b.ick as he could remember the strange tales of mvbtcry iegnrdlng Lake Cluntavlta, and had often speculated with other Hogotanos on the disappearance be neath its waters of the fabulous wealth of the ancient Chlbclms, was keenly alive to the possibilities lying before them, now that they were on the very spot haunted by so many fascinating traditions of his race. Like'most natives ot Bogota, the Spanish blood In his veins was mixed with the blood of the Chlb chas and It was an Infusion he was proud to own. Hence, he readily believed that at any moment they would stumble upon a per fect mountain of treasure, all the lost gold and emeralds that Spanish romances had dreamed about and travelers of tho old heroic times had ilsked their lives for. They had now reached the end of flm precipitous Incline down which the path had led them, thankful to exchange the slipping and sliding, to which tho tilted rocks had treatod them, for the firm footing offered by n, comparatively level floor. Here the roof hung only a. tew feet above their heads, whence it curved downward, glistening with the delicate fretwork that the Creat ilfniaml for the KVKNINU PUBLIC I.hlldl.l. inuy ruu.e jou tu mlu un Install inrnt of till vry InttretttliiK Murr.

The chamber thus formed became n long, spacious corri dor, one side of which was open to the vast amphitheater they had Just left, the other sldo stoutly hemmed In by a maze of stalac tites nnd stalagmites looming up as sen tinels In front of a wall that could be dimly seen behind them. Down the mlddlo of this corridor lay the path they had been follow ing, wider now and showing the Imprint of many sandaled feet. Heforo them, at the end of the corridor, they could distinguish the outlines of another wall, apparently marking tho limit of this portion of the cave. "There Is your lake," said Lelghton Iron ically to Miranda, who shiugged his shoulders In reply. "At any late, Fnele Harold." said Una reproachfully, "there mut be an opening here. And tile air Is Just heavenly! Instead of walking, one could dance.'' The otheis appeared to feel the truth of 1 'tin's ntiKcrvntlun, for they moved along with a briskness, a snap, they had not shown be fore. This was particularly noticeable in Mrs. Quayle, who seemed to be propelled by somi! Inner gayety of spirit that quite changed hi r usually sedate manner and ap pearance. The transformation was not lost on I'na, who was both amused and puzzled by It. "Look at .Mrs. Quayle's jewelry I" she ex claimed. "It is dancing nbout as If It were moved by a breeze from somewhere." "What do you mean? I can't feel any breeze." declared Lelghton "The singular tlnttetlng or Mrs. Quayle's Jewelry simply means, I suppose, that the wearer is, as usual, agitated " tCONTINl'Kf) TOMORROW) DREAMLAND ADVENTURES Hy DADDY A complete nuc ndi'fnturr tach leak, bcoin ,itril Monday and ritdbip .Saturday.

On the face of every one was a tensing grin. "O charming Peggy, when you snooze Your picture fair we wouldn't lose. But time Is rushing on apace, We bid you Join our merry race." So sang all the Birds. Peggy felt vexed that they had caught her napping, but they were so happy over their little Joke on her that she ."illicitly found herself grinning back at them. "It wasn't really a snooze. Just a nod," she answered. "But I'm wideawake now nnd ready to meet Fun half way. Whero Is he?" "O'er tho hill he comes aleaplng!" quoted Judge Owl, pointing with his wing to tho heights behind them. Suro enough there was a fantastic figure ' lancing and cavorting on the grassy hillside. He was garbed in a queer coat made of cat tall reeds. On his head was a crown of colored leaves, and back from his shoulders streamed a ragged cloak of wlldgrape vines. "Is that Fun?" asked Peggy, surprised and nved. "Dotsn't It look like Fun?" hooted Judge Owl, and all the Birds chuckled. The oddly dressed figure danced down the hill toward them and tho Birdj danced a Looking down at her through big dark goggles was Judge Owl greeting. Peggy found herself dr.nclng, too, and she wasn't a bit surprised when Fun capered up, seized her by the hand, and led her Into a mad, Jolly frolic, that didn't end until she sank down panting. "Wasn't that fun?" laughed Fun at her. Tilt.
