Lr JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE Dance for Red Cross at St. Martin's Nancy Wynne Hears News of Philadclphians Coming Home and Going f" Atvay for Winter TTD you hear about the dance that was given In the club at St. Martin's laat night? The proceeds were for the Tied Cross and St. Christopher's Hospital, and they must have mounted up pretty well, for there was a good crowd there. Mrs. ftlchard C. Dale. Mrs. George C. Thomas Jr., Mrs. Isaac Starr and Mrs.' Charles DaCosta uere the patronesses. The com mittee In charge Included Richard Foltz, Robert Hooper Jr., Krancls B. Reees Jr., Harry McMlclmel, Hdward Starr Jr, and Robert Whltmer Jr. It was entirely a Junior party, nnd they did have an awfully good time. The two Glendlnnlngs. Mary and Ellen, were there, and Margaretta Dixon, Betsy Divls, Jane Maule, Gladys Muller, nnd a lot of others whom ou JU' would know It I had toom to name them M1. I HEAR that Molly Bally Koons returned last week to lloislevvn, her parents home In Strafford. She has been lsltlnjr her grandfather, Mr. George Wood out at Red Roof, Wawa, ever since Brewster, or to'be more exact, IJeutenant Benjamin H. Brewster Koons Q M. C, sailed for France. You can hardly call Molly a war-bride, for sVie was married In January 1917, but she has had the same experience as all these young brides are Imlng these dajs. You know she went down to Atlanta to live, "because Brewster was in business down ,there. Then ns soon as we got Into the war he hustled up north, enlisted, won a commission In the quartermaster corps, and was sta.loned in New York. Hj and Molly had an apartment there but about a month ago he received his sailing orders, so Molly had to gle up the apartment and tome home to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Winter Bally. Lieutenant Koons has a number of rea sons for wanting to fight for his country besides tho just jilaln love of It, among them,hls jrrandrather, Robert Walker, sec retary of the Treasury under Buchtnan, his grandfather, Benjamin Harris Brew ster, attornev -general tinker Arthur, and hls uncle, Mojor-General Andrew W. Blew ster. Inspector general of the overseas army. It strikes me that that is some family to live up to, don't vou think so? DID iou know that Joe Blown has come back fiom overseas? He was wouu'ed j,ou know, v nil, serving In Fiance and has had some of the most hart owing experi ences, going fox das without food or water, and cnduilng ten ible baidships' I hear that he looks very well in tplte of It all, and It must be a Joy to him to be home again. His wife was Juanita Harmer. jou know, and they have the most adoiahle ., children, and the most attractive house in St. Martin's. . MRS. STEVENS HKCKSCHl'll and her family of childien, expect to leave' on Saturdav for Washincton where thev have l5 taken a house for the winter. Ma lor Heckschcr is In the Judge-advocates de partment, you know, and his family wanted to be with him, so they are giving up their home In Strafford. The voungest baby was born some lime in the early summer. Mrs Heckschei was Mis. Mark Hopkins, you remember. It looks as If Washington this year is going to be as well filled with Phlladelphlans as It was last year, for there are a lot of people going down there to be with their hus bands or fathers who ure stationed there AT IIANHEIM on Sunday afternoon . there was a big audlerce of friends and relatives watching the drilling. All over the grounds there were little bunches of men being "by tho light flank, march" ed, and escaping other groups by aijout one Inch every few minutes. Then they all formed a company and stood up to have their pictures taken. The crowd, of course, gathered around to see what was going on, and got so close that the drillers almost stepped on them when they started to march again, and you know If anything Is In the way of a marching body of men, heaven help that thing, be cause nothing but an order from an officer will change the direction of the march ing body. It was pretty hard for the youngsters to see after the spectators had lined up In front of the men, so one little girl who appeared to be about Ave venrs old 'was hoisted up on Father's shoulder to look over everybody's head. The spirit of the occasion had Inspired her, although she nlssed out a little on the letter. She saw "the soldiers all lined up at attention, and .she knew what should be done, so she called out In her tiny little voice, "'Ten tlon. Right clonics!" NANCY WYNNE.

But although It staved out onlv until half past ten 01 so. It failed, alas' to find Its own kejhole The final curtnln dropped on chaos that was due. perhaps, to the fact that In place of the final act pro grammed as taking place at ' regimental dug out headquarters in Fran ," n substituted net continued the action In the humble Xew York boarding houe of the earlier acts far from the din of battle The spectacle of an ex-mlll girl of In visible morals reading In hoirsp nnd raucous voice the war news of more than three years ago Is scarcely the most delectable dramatic fare or the bst patriotic nourishment for a nation that has long since pised the ABC slage of the war Yet that Is the pivotal situation of "The Big Chinee." nnd It Is promptly followed bv the 111 iglral transfor mation of beveral ne'er-do-well, parasitic men Into still dv heroes In khaki nnd the 110 less astounding conversion of the late mill girl with n penchant for whlskv Into a demon knitter for the Red Cross and tireless re cruiter for the armv. who also tolls for the release of her uninltlgatedlv caddish, check forging lover from Sing "lug. Just because she loves him so-0-0 But when the cur shoots himself In the leg to dodge military service after donning khaki, even her lilgh tenslle devotion shows signs of wear. To suggest that It Is more than a bit maudlin seems superfluous To explain the Irrelevant eplsodese which eke out the nctton would be Impossible.

It Is sifc to sav thev left lavishing new praise on the dramatic talents of Mr Miller nnd Mls Chatterton and hid a most favorable word for the beauty of the production as a whole Both Mr. Miller and MIsh Chatterton have added new portraits to their respective galleries While the play dates back to an age when the theatre was considered more of a toy than the Institution It Is at present, and while the corned v Is artificial to a great de gree, the revival can be recommended to those who discriminate somewhat In their mode of entertainment In favor of quite humor of delicate shadings Age Insn't en tirely dulled the dialogue It still sparkles. Manv of the lines are as apt now as In Dumas's day. The acting of Mr Miller nnd Miss Chatter tnn in the roles of the Comte de Candalr and the Cnmtes de Candale, respectively, a of a kind that discriminating plaj goers will travel miles to see Modern technique of the stage can do much for an outmoded plav.

Picture an eve. nlng of haunting melodle. a sc ire of really pretty dancing girls, and Just enough romance to sustain Interest, and yon have a quick bird's-eye view of the new John Cort musical play, 'Glorlanna" has all the Ingredients of suc cess It is wholesome, with n simple story presented In picturesque fashion without vulgar ostentation. The book nnd lyrics are by Catherine Chlsholm Cushlng and the melodies are by Rudolf Frlml. Most of the tunes are Irresistibly whlstleable, but are strikingly original as well. The story runs along without much devi ation. Dolores Pennington, a dancing In structress receives word that her husband's aunt has died and she is to receive his share of her estate. Dolores declares she will not accept their money, but Glorlanna Orey, her maid, prevails upon Dolores to agree to a plan by which she may get the estate without hurting her pride. There are many com plications and surprises, and Incidentally Glorlanna wins a husband. As the sympathetic maid, who lives, to make others happy, Eleanor Painter scored an emphatic success. She Bang several num bers, one of her best being "Just a Little Laughter." Alexander Clark Bupplled most of the laughs.

He was only trjlng to fool the Birds because of the Jcrko they hid plaved on him In brlnclnir him back tn school, just when he was lejolclng because he was going to have two dajs' fntdoni from books and stud.v "Kven if vou don't believe lii ghosts, vcrti'll have to admit that queer things happen In lots of houses that folks ea nre haunted! The children going to this school say thev have been healing some verv strange' noisi s here!" said Billj Belgium, silencing anv fur ther argument on Peggy's part with another wink "Whoo ' Whoo ' I don't believe In ghosts either," hooted Judge Owl ' I've been around a lot at night nnd 1'vo never met one. But silly persons sometimes take me for one and I give them awful scares" Judge Owl chuckled ) "I remember one boy who was going to frighten folks going home from a partj So he got a white sheet and ran on ahead of them, hiding himself In the shrubberry of an old, tumble-down, vacant house When the folka came along he climbed on a stump so that he looked about ten feet tnll and waved his arms as though he were Using. 'Ouow! Oucvw !' he groaned 'I'm a ghost ! I'm a ghost " ' My, how those folks did veil and shriek '" laughed Judge Owl. whire Blllv Belgium gig gled out loud "They ran down the road llckety-split, with one big fat man running the fastest of all until he stumbled over a stone and pitched on his stomach. Then he was sor scared that he didn't wait to get up, but went right on rolling down the hill" Billy Belgium broke right out laughing and all the Birds Joined In "But that was only the beginning of the real fun," snickered Judge Owl "I was In the vacant house hunting for mice when the yellH disturbed me. I looked out and there was the boy-ghost just hollering with laugh ter. I put on as deep a voice as f could and said. 'Whoo' Whoo!' "The bov let out a yell, louder than any of the others, and down, kerplump. he went, tumbling off that stump He got tangled up In his sheet and rolled over on the ground trslng to get up I flew to a tree right over bis head and said 'Whoo ! Whoo' at him once more. "Yelling and yelling. e scrambled up and flew down the hill. The others heard him veiling and saw hhn coming, the sheet flap ping about like wings. They thought the ghost was going to get them sure, and they fled madly All except the fnf man. He rolled into a ditch and got stuck there. Be fore he could get out the ho -ghost fell over him. My, what a wild mlx-up there was then! The fat man was screaming 'murder,' the boy was yelling 'ghosts and I was hoot ing 'Whoo' Whoo" "Finally the fat man discovered that the boy wasn't a ghost after all, but was Just pretending to be one. That mads the fat man mad He grabbed the boy and gave him a red-hot spanking I didn't want the boy to get too hard a walloping, so I said 'Whoo! Whoo' again. The fat man dropped the boy in a hurry, they jumped to their feet, and off they pelted nfter the others." Blue Heron now rapped loudly on the teacher's desk "School will now come to order," he rasped.
