ISTOPPHD In at the Xavy House yester
day and was awfully Interested In the
work being done there. It Is at 221 South
XMghtoenth you know, and the various or
ganizations with headquarters thoro hove
nil offered their hervlces to help the Influ
enza v lctlm3. .
Tho Navy House Is really a Club houte
for Navy Officer under tho nus'ilcea of
the Navy Auxiliary and the house, has been
remodeled and redecorated for this pur
pose. Besides being a club house there Is
a cafeteria attached and certainly that Is
pretty nice. Isn't It?
The Navy auxiliary of the Red Cross has
its headquarters there too, you know and
also the Department of Navy Itcci cation.
Then the Navy Auxiliary Motor Corps
Is also at this building and about fifty girls
belong to tint nnd work In relays day
after day especially through these trying
days. The girls In the corps take) tho
Navy Officers to and from the Navy "yard
but last week they devoted most of their
time taking doctors and nurses on hun
dreds of sick calls and carrying soup and
other food and remedies to tho stricken
households. Pretty good work, that, it
eecms to me.
The Navy -Hospital committee Is located
in. the same building I understand so you
Nee a great deal can be dono for the In
fluenza patients. Mrs. Stotesbury is chair
man of the Hospital committee anc has
associated with her Mrs. Dobscn Alt'emus,
Mrs. Milton Herold and Mrs. Alfred Grey.
DID you hear that Ethel Huhn Bailey
and Pauline Denckla are both down
With Influenza at Mr.- George Huhn's home
on Locust street? Ethel und Paulino took
up a three months course of Intensive
training at tho University Hospital and
when tho epidemic came they helped nurse
the patients. They both contracted the
disease and arc being taken cave of -t
Mrs. Bailey's home.
JEAN BULLITT, too! She has been
nursing at the' Pennsylvania hospital,
you know and several days ago started in
with a cold and fever, so they clapped her
i jnto Dea ana are Keeping her there until
her temperature becomes "normal. There
is' no sense In taking any risk these days
and so the sensible people are going to
bed the minute tho chill or fever comes.
Jean is. not very 111, and the;- cx.iect her

I heard of two the other day, w'hose
father Is ill and whose mother left them
with an aunt while bbc" went to th: hos
pital to bo with him. t '
That same auntie owing to Illness of u
number of associates had tomo ery im
portant statistics to compile every night.
It was a thing that could not be put off.
So when her small niece sa. that tho was
bringing these papers home and going
over them after dinner each evening she
made this proposition. Could'n't she and
Brother help Auntie with her "atlstlcs".
Auntie being an understanding person,
and realizing that "useful occupation" was
the best thing posslblo for small nieces
and nephews', responded with alacrity. And
when 1 stopped in to see her tho other
evening, thero they were; Auntio in a
large chair and nleco and nephew on small
chairs on either side. Auntie with books
and papers and pencils: and Niece and
Nephew Armed with a picture book each
and a pencil. And every tin'i Ail"' made
a mark on her paper, Niece oiid Nephew
made a mark in their books. As I en
tered I heard Niece remark "Are wo rcallv
?aI helping you?" while Brother aged three
ncuoeu me question in a slirlli treble; "is;
wo 'hoping' you?" To which Auntie re
plied, "Indeed you are!"
And small nleco sighing said, "How for

GIRLS 7lMJ LOAN WORK
FULL OF ODD INCIDENTS
Something Always .Happening, So
No One Has Chance to
Be Bored
"I think every one of ua Is n- little more
human, a llttlo mora understanding and a
good deal better for having sold bonds for
this Liberty Loan."
y was Miss Gretchen Clay, major of the
Emergency Aid nldts and director of the
work of the aides under Mrs. Norman Mac
Leod during the loan, who thus summed up
the result of hundreds of Interesting experi
ences. For three weeks lheo joung women, many
of them descendants of Philadelphia's oldest
fonillUs, haxo worked steadily In the booths
and In tho bushiest mictions of tho city,
rubbing ngnlnst niMllonatres and paupers,
making lasting friends of all Uie raga
mufllns on the streit, the police, th Foldlcrs
and sailors and the thousands of laymen
that loiter a few minutes each day to tail:
to the pretty workers.
Tho ragamuffin laMs fall over themselves
to tack posters up and run errands for the
blue uniformed maidens. The police hae
nlded them in every way poss'ble. Pir
shlng's heroes find it mighty Inspirits to
help sell bonds In front of the booths
"manned" by such femininity. And the mass
Of people POUr OUt their trollhlnu nml tlielr
Joys and expect these joung women to know
ever) thing that's go'ng on in the universe.
"We are weather vane?, general Informa
tion bureaus, father confessors and bond
sellers nil In one," diclared Miss Victoria
Davis, hi charge o'f the American trench
cover booth on North City Hall Plaza. "I'm
asked evcrv thing from what the weather is
to be to where a baby sister who died of
Influenza may be burled.
"Yesterday a poorly dressed old man canto
to the booth and said ho wanted to buy a
bond for his daughter. Ho was so disreputable-looking
I wanted to make certain, so
I asked If he had his daughter's consent.
" 'That Isn't the question at all,' he in
sisted. "She's my daughter, and she'll do as
I say."
"Ho was bo insistent that I .let him sign
a subscription for a 550 bond. Another la
boring man who Mopped to subserlbo told
me he made J."!u a month, and there were
three In his family besides himself. Hu is
paying ?8 a month 911 Liberty Bonds"
. "Buy 11 bond!" c!almed ono miln ac.
oosted by a pretty woman worker. "Well I
should say not. Don't ou know tho war's
over?
It took several precious minutes to con
v nee him of hla mistake, but ho was con
vinced. At least ho subscribed for a 1100
bond.
"I've had dozens of people ask me where
they can get an undertaker, doctor, nurse,
htfluenza preventive or cure." said Miss
Margaret Hart, one of the National League
for Women's bervlce Junlora who has been
working every day In booths on Chestnut
and Market streets.
iS!rnecktCheIV We'herl. of 1830 South
IUttenhoueo Square, who lias been on duty
nt the Statue of Liberty booth from early
morning till 11 o'clock each evening these
three weeks, tells the story of one woman

"There were perhups a dozen persons

"What Is thit to ou':" she asked coldl.
Then, no longer disguising her emotion, she
went on;
"You don't understand what Is between us.
He comes from a world that I have never

one telling of it utrnngcr who suddenly ap
pears from a land of clouds a land no mm

"There have been many strangers since
that time." said Itnoul cynically, "your peo
ple have disappeared before tho Spaniard.
They live unknown, forgotten, In a cave In
the mountains. Why do ou think David is
the stranger In the legend?"
She drew herself up nrrnfully. Iler dark
beauty. Hashing eye, tpilverlng nostril, needed
not the emerald diadem of the ancient C lilli
chns encircling her brow to proclaim Iter
royal lineage

This may be I believe It Is all true.
But what Is David to do here?"'" murmured
Una.
"If he Is the Stmnger of the old legend,
the (lllden Man wo have awaited, this Land
of the Condor is his."
"You are Hi queen."
lie will be Its king."
"You have told hlinT" asked Ilaou!
"Years ago. Wo were happy. I loved

Theie wits an artless simplicity In SaJI
pona's confession of ltej- love and disappoint
ment that was more than eloquence. Narva
stood apart her face shrouded; In her mantle,
motionless, as If the remembrance of these
bygone matters carried wlth.lt something of
a religious experience. Upon Una the effect
was startllngly different. She listened In
amazement, indignation, at this revelation of
a passion In which her lover had shared of
which she had kno-vn nothing and that
seemed to place him utterly apart fom her
If Sajlpona's tale was true the matter of
Us telling, her own engaging personality,
carried Irresistible convictions David's love
(or Una had been shadowed nil along by
an earlier, deeper sentiment that gavo It the
color of something that was not altogether
real. 'Why had ho nevevtold her of this
Indian romance? II pnotlsrn indeed !
What man could help kneeling In passion
ate adoration before this queenly woman,
whore beauty was of that glorious warmth
and fragrance belonging to the purple and
scarlet flowers of one's dreams, whose love
combined the unreasoning1 devotion of n child
with the proud lojalty that inspires martyr
dom? They had loved David and Kajlpcna
there could bo no doubt of that. Ileforo be
ntft Una on tho shores of that far-off English
lake, David hod stood soul to soul In a
heaven created by this radiant being., Ho
was with her again. Tho past was completely
blotted out! the tender Idyl of Derwent
water, of rtysdale, forgotten. Kven the sight
of Una herself stirred but tho vaguest rlpplo
of memory. There was mystery, certainly. In
the strange moods of forgetfulness from
which David was suffering. Her uncle couid
give them a learned name and account for
them s belonging to something quite out
side the man's will, outside his control. Hut
what did Lelghton really know cf all this?

PIMGY lushed back to the shell hole,
where Hilly ltelglum. with tho ca. urcd
machine gun, held the German soldiers prls.
oners. She hud teinembcred seeing boxes of
hand grenades among the German supplies.
Now she dug down Into thesu grenades, tak
ing nil tho could enrr.
' What urc Jou going to do?" asked Hilly
Helglimt.
"Wo'ro going to e'lear the waj for the
vmeiican army," replied Peggj-.
Tho Germans were astonished when thtv
saw the grenades moving about, apparently
by theniselves. Some of thoso who had got
tired of holding their hands In the nil"
now shut llicni higher than e-vor, and kept
tin 11 murmur of "Knmernd I Kamcrad !"
Piggy told her plan to Hilly. It whs to
im-rcli the German prisoners to a level place
below the shell hole where they eould be
guarded by Jlcn and Hill, while she and Hill
bioiight up all the grenades nnd ammunition.
On the short inarch Peggv guarded tho
prisoners with greitndes, while Hilly, aided
by a prisoner, took along the marhlne run
After that they brought up all the ammuni
tion. "Now we cin lie K all these Germans,'
deilareil lli-n
"LefM ;ive them n chance to surrender
first," suggested Peggy "We will havo the
serge-ant tell them the are attacked by a
phantom arm" and advise thent to quit."
"That's a good Idea," Hill admitted re
luctantly: "but I sure would like to shake
'em up a bit with these grenades"
"We'll elei Unit if tbej- don't surrender
right iiwu," sold Pegg.
"Wo aro pretty good baseball plaers and
can throw these grenades Into all the nests.
ecept those up on the other r'e's of the
ravin"." s-vld lien. .
"I'll clean out those li'sts." voldnteeied
Billy Belgium. "They can't see me,"
This arrangement was agreed upon Hilly
told the sergeant just what he was to shout
to his fellow -soldlerH In the other nests, nnd
Hen. who understood German, said ho would
tee tlnit the Instructions were carried out.
Then Billy made his way with a bunch
of grcnadei to a point where he could look
down Into tho machine-gun nests on tho
farther sldo of the ravine. Homer Pigeon
went with him to net as his "runner" Soon
Homer rami- lllng back with word that
Blllv was ready. (
The Gci man sergeant now walked out to
a high rock where he could look down on
his roint.idca beminth Ho canled a pieco of
white iloth, which he waved vigorously.
"We have been raptured b i phantom
American arm," ho shouted. "This nrni
is all about ut. It threatens to blow vou all
up If jou don't surrender lunneillatel."
Tho German soldiers In the other shell
holes looked up fit wonder. Then tbej be
gan to laugh lotidlv
"A10 jou era.?' they shouted bail. In
German. "If the Amerlenns lonie wo will
make them nil phantoms."
"Tell them again to surrender," ciled Ben
The sergeant hesitated. Pegg.v, vi ho wiih be
hind him, gun In hand, gave him a little jab
with tho bajonet."
"Kanter.id' Kamcrad !" ho shrieked. "Sur
render quick'"
The soldiers below laughed again.
"Jump bail: here, Princess Peggy." shouted
Hill, nnd, us Peggy dieted, he threw n gren
ade tilth all his strength. It landed among
a crowd of Jeering soldiers In a shell hole
below. There was a burst of smoke, nnd tiro
Geimans vanished. Then follow e;il a regu
lar bombardment. Hen nnd Hill throwing
grenades ns fast us thev could Hursts from
across the ravine show id that Hill Belgium
alsf) was busy.
This bombardment took the Germans tit
tcily by surprise. Those left alive vvue
terror-stricken White Hags shot up ever--viheie,
followed by soldiers holding up their
hands and shouting "Kamcrad " In a re
mnrknblj short time ever- German In the
i.ivlno was rounded up In response to
ordeiH from the sergeant, they inarched up
the hill and joined the gang of prhomrs at
the top
"Now If the Amei leans attacked they
would find the way clear," shouted Hen
"Then tell them to come on." erled Peggy.
"Hero arc Homer and Carrie Pigeon eager
to carry the messages "
5o It was done. Tho Pigeons darted awny.
Ann soon after they were gone came a great
shout far below Peggy, looking elown, saw
American soldiers coming up the ravine ns
fatt ns they tould climb. At the top of the
hill stood the Germans In deadl) fi.tr ot the
Phantom Ann-, shouting "Knnierad! Kamc
rad '"
"I guess our work Is done," said Hilly Bel
glum And na he said It there was a quick
llurrj", and, lo and behold, Pegg.v found her
self safely back In Iter ow n bed at home.

GIRLS ASKED TO WRITE
TO BELGIUM'S SOLDIERS
Relief Committee Says Letters
Will Be Appreciated if
Done in French
Wanted Voung women, emphasis on the
"voung," who, equipped with a good wilting
knowledge of French, are willing to accept
the role of "jeunes maialnes" (young god
mothers) to lonely Belgian soldleis.
Mrs. Joseph C. Clark. Chestnut Hill, chair
woman of the Uelglan soldiers' committee of
the Belgian relief committee. Is endeavoring
to find joung women who hnvo a sufllelently
fluent knowledge of French to enable them
to write blight, cheerful, friendly letters to
tho soldiers, fiom whom sho has received the
most touching appeals.
Alwnjs the same pitiful (Uory of suffering
can bo read in the lines which appear In vlr
tuail ever) letter, "I have not hoard from
my famll since the war began."
Belgium Is sealed so tightly that neither
good tidings nor bad can steal out to soothe
the terrible anxiety of the men who aro
lighting In Flanders and northern France
A letter was received at tho Belgian .relief
inmmlttee todny written In Flemish, In which
the same appeal might be pieced together out
of tho strange words. Flemish, however, Is
a language which need not worry tho J'oung
vi omen who nre tempted to put their French
to the test by writing to these j-oung men:
nil of them can write French nnd some not
Only able but eager to write In llngllsh.
These soldiers havo virtually no one to
write to them, and having the natural long
ing for letters In the mud nnd loneliness of
tho battlefields of Flanders suffer front lone
liness more than Is necessary. And they ask
timidly for tho kindly olllccs ,of "Jeunes
maralnes,"
Mrs. Clark said that the girls who wanted
to wrlto would havo to be able to write in
French, and suggested also that professors
of French might Interest some of their pupils
In this tvoik,
"They Just want blight, friendly letters
from joung girls of their own ngo; simple
letters, for they aro for tho most purt simple
men, Just tho poor, lonely soldiers ot th
rank nnd file."
Mademoiselle Suxanne Sllvcrcruys. the
Belgian girl who Is well known In Phila
delphia and other cities, was -especially In
teiested In this work and made several ap
peals for It, but' was forced to relinquish It
In tho faco of her heavy burden of other
duties.
Mrs. Clurk has taken it up for her, and
asks that girls who nre willing to write to
Belgian soldiers communicate with Jitr at
the headquarters of the Belgian relief com
mittee, 1524 Walnut street.
"Nothing could bo more respectful than
tho attitude taken by these brave, lonely
men, and tho girl who can wrlto raj amus
ing letters will be helping lot."

Going home from work a few evenings ago,
she paused a llttlo house In one of the poor
sections of the cllj. The son. a sailor, had
lieu of Influenza and had been burled .from
i..e noue mat morning. Two of his married
sisters had come on for tho funeral. Seven
other members of the family of eleven were
down with the disease. The two sisters also
were stricken. .
Miss Lewis entered the house to find four
of tho family on a mattress In one little
room, two on the couch and tho mother, with
two joung babies, In another room. The
funeral randies were still burning. Miss
Lew In could not get help then, but herself
gave all sho could, bujlng food and milk

Moil SniHll Beginning
Four j ears ago tho Home Service, which
was not then a branch of the Ited Cross, con
sltted by Mrs: Henry C. Boyer, Mrs. John C.
Groomo and a stenographer. There was a
modest little olllco on ISIttenhouso Square;,
and the woik was Just a good thing or two
dono ar the light time.
When the American soldlera went to the
Mexican border tho Home Service was able
to Increase Its good olllces by giving help
both to tlm men and to the families left be
bind. About 1000 families received help from
tho Homo Service at this time.
Mrs Boyer laughingly tells of an occasion
when Mri. Groome came Into the llttlo ofnee,.,,
and suggested a second secretarj" to "help .
about the otllce a bit." Mr. Boyer properli'
suppressed the Idea of such extravagance. J
Today there are eighty-four salaried workers
In the olllccn nntl more than 300 volunteer
workers. , ""' '
At the outhieak of war between America
nnd Germany Mrs Hoj'er and Mrs. Groome
vi ere asked by the Maj'or to do the same
work for the families of the enlisted men,
and this pervlce now bee a branch of the
Ited Cross
There nre several departments of the work,
which has grown complicated with Increase
of sle legal, application, recording, work
ers' and clothing and supplies departments.
The organizat'on Is well nigh1 perfect. Espe
cially Interesting Is the department through
which clothing Is given out In almost stag
gering quantities.
Consider Quality
A request conies from this department to
donors to the effect that In making donations
the eiu.illt ot the garments be considered
with regard to the prido of the women who
aro to receive, help from this department.
These women, wives of toldlers, whose
financial difficulties rise largely from n sacri
fice to the cotintrj-, do not deserve the hu
miliation of having to nccept a certain type of
charity The Home Service tries to make
the gifts of clothing durable. Often there
lome In iliniitlons of warm coats and new
underclothes, but the great difficulty now
lies In getting these supplies to tho applicants
In time Messengers arc nearly Impossible
to get, nnd the girls have a hard time not
only ln making up countless packages ot
bab'es' clothes nnd winter garments, but in
getting them to the post or to the applicants.
The work of the Home Service is not ex- ,
peeteel to slop after the war. but will prob-
ably bo divided Into various committees of ,"
social service which will bo a lasting benefit
to tho cltj".
WOMEN'S CLUBS BUSY

Find Plenty of Charitable
Work to Do
MthouEh tho women's clubs havo riitcon
tlnued meetings because of influenza, the'
members havo been busier than ever with
the work the epidemic has been giving.
Tho Clvlo Club, through Mrs. Kdward Bid- -die.
was the first to make an appeal to Its
members and many of them responded. This
appeal was to as many women as would
respond for nursing.!
Theso women have entered hospitals as -,
nurses' aides, doing the more prosaic Jobs
so that the trained nurses would be free to
give their skilled care to tho cases that
needed It. Other viomen have been making
the Influenra masks, and now they are ,Ta
making pneumonia jackets by the thousands. V.
I ti splto of tho fact that it Is said a great " ,;
many women have 'slacked" when the call ' :

who havo unselfishly offered their servlceo vj-!
