JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Nancy Wynne Plans to Go to Historical Society Reception
Saturday Lieutenant Paul Home From Overseas.
Mrs. Wurts's Class Opens Tomorrow Night
ARE you solns to tho Historical So
ciety's reception Saturday? I nm.
The council ot the society lius decided
to resumo the receptions to soldlern, pall
ors and marines which were held so suc
cessfully last May and .Tune, and. so tho
War service committee of the society has
announced that the first autumn reception
will bo held this Salurduy evening from
" 7 to 10:45. There's to he an exhibition of
tho musoum ot historical relics and the
Ballery of historical painting, and" there
will be more Interest than ever now that
this stupendous war has given so many
relics and thrills to bo added to tho col
' lection.
An orchestra will bo there to play for
tho dancing and a Liberty Sins will be
led by Mr. Albert Hoxle, and that's enoush
to let you ltnow that the sing will be Rood.
Did you SCO him up at the Liberty Stntuo
on Monday? Ho had thp crowd with him
In a minute, singing anything from uui
Clack Joo" to "When You Come Back."
There's to be a short address by a
member ot tho Sons ot tho Revolution,
who are to bo the hosts of the evening,
and two soloists will sing. Of course, there
will bo refreshments who ever heard of
' a party for enlisted men that didn't have
refreshments, and lots ot them? Mr. Al
bert Cook Myers is ohalrman of the ex
ecutive committee of the Historical Society
and Mr. Ernest Spofford Is secretary.
DID you know that Frank Paul returned
from overseas last Tuesday? He's been
detailed as an Instructor here. Ho la a
lieutenant In a machine-gun company, you
' know. He's staying with his sister, Mrs.
John Kent Kane, out In Radnor, at present
on a leave of a few days. T suppose tho
men still in camp will bo trained for a
while longer, that is until peace is abso
lutely settled. Though how in the world
Germany could' ever get on her feet again
after all sho-.has signed away would be a
puzzle to any one. "We certainly have got
them where they belong.
WOULDN'T you just lovo to be in Paris
itho day the armies come marching
home? And they say that King Albert
Will probably enter Brussels tomorrow.
' Think ot it! I'm afraid many will die of
sheer joy.
I wonder how soon her friends here will
he able to hear ot Marie du Croy? She
never visited In this country herself, but
her brother. Prince Leopold du Croy, and
her uncle. Prince Henri du Croy, often
stayed In this city as guests of Mr. Walter
George Smith. The Princess Mario was
taken a prisoner early In the war; In fact,
at tho sdme time r.s Kdith Cavell. and was
condemned to life Imprisonment and to be
kept under constant surveillance, too.
That meant that never at any moment was
olia free from the watchful eye of a Ger
man soldier. Think of that,, for a delicately
reared and daintily exquisite woman, and
I heard she had contracted tuberculosis
there. And that is only a sample of what
tho Belgian rnd French women had, to go
through. T supposo a number of our
women who have been over there doing
war work will come homo now and make
room for others to go over and help. For
.there will bo much to do. Probably many
will btay, too. j
WON'T It bo funny for the school set to
wend Its way Bellevuewards tomorrow
night for Mrs. Charles Stewart Wurts's
dancing class? For years it has been at
Asher's, you know, though I think at one
time it met at Horticultural Hall, whither
so many of tl.o dancing classes moved from
the Natatorlum. But Horticultural Hall is
.no more, you know: the now Sljubort The
atre Is there, and so back to Asher's went
the classes, until Asher's was taken over
by tho United Service Club, and now all
ways point to the Bellovue.
Mrs. Wurts's class has been the rage
for tho girls from fourteen up to sixteen
for many a day; and tho boys of fifteen
to eighteen go, too. It's killing to watch
the youngsters at that ago, don't yoi
think? Thoy are so grown up and so
worried about their partners and cotillon
engagements. They are so delightfully
young, it seems, but thoy do have such
good times, and Mrs. Wurts Is an awfully
good chaperone to tho affair and sees that
every one Is Introduced to every, one else.
Thero will be several dinners before the
' meeting tomorrow, among others one for
"Bunny" Geary, who seems a most popu
lar young person.
WELL, with tho war over, I wonder If
we'll hear soon of an engagement that
tho small bird whispered to mo some timo
ago? It was to come out after tho war.
And it was botween an American girl and
an English officer, and the girl has been
doing a lot ot splendidly cfflclent war work.
Sho Is very good-looking and has hosts
of friends, f-'evcral years ago she had a
1 most miraculous escape from death. That's
almost telling- you. isn't It? But then I
promised not to, so I won't; but watch the
news, my dears, watch $

Theie must be no let-up In the acnvltics

War Council has Issued the rollowlng state
ment :
"Even with peace, let no one suppose that
the work or the Red Cross is finished. Mil
lions or American boys are still under arms
Thousands of them are sick or wounded'
Owing to the shortage or shlprjing, it may
take a year or morn to bring our hovs home
from France. But. whatever the time, our
protecting arms must be about them ard
their families over the wholo period which
munt clapte before the normal life of peace'
can be resumed.
"Our roldlers and sailors are enlisted until
the rommander-ln-chler tells them thero is
no more work for them to do In the war.
Let every Red Cross member and woilie
show our returning soldiers and sailors that
to care for their health, welfare and happi
ness wo arc enlisted with them to t1(, p,i.
"The cessation or war will revjal a picture
of misery such as the world has neer seen
before, especially in the many countries
which cannot help themselves. The Ameri
can people will expect the Red Cross to con
tinue to act as their agent In repairing
broken spirits and broken nodles. Peace
terms and peace conditions will determlno
how we may best minister to tho vast
titrloken areas which have been harrowed by
war. and In this great act of ineicy. the
heart and spirit of the American people must
continue to he mobilized through the Ameri
can Re.d Cross.
"On behalf of the Red Cross War Council,

splendid body or workers throughout the land
to bear In mind the solemn obligation which
rests upon each ono to carry on. We can
not abate ono Instant In our efforts or In
oiir spirit. There will be an abundance of
work tc do, and specific advices will be given,
but even at tho moment of' peace let no Red
Crosr worker falter.
"Our spirit must now tall us to show
that it is not tho roar of cannon or the blood
of our own alone that directs our activities,
but that a great people will continue to re

CHAPTER VIM (Coiiiiiiiit-di
IT WAS a Pullman car in which I found
myself, with comfortable armchairs and
small tables. One of the order'h.s was la lug
the table tor lunchi-on, and here, presently,
the young Count and I ate a meal, which,
savo for tho inevitable "Krlegslirod," i,ho ed
fow signs of the stringency ot (he British
blockade.
Hut h.v this time I had fully le.ilizcil Hint.
for somu iinKnowii i eason, nr pains were
spared to do me honor, so piohably the tare
was something out of t he fommon.
My coitip.iniun was a bright, amusing fel
low and delightfully typical of his class. He
hail seen a jear's service witli I lie cavalry
on the eastern flout, had been seriously
wounded, and was now attached to the Gen
eral Stafr in Berlin in what 1 judged to be
a decorative rather than a useful capacity,
for, apart from what he had learnt in his
own campaigning lie seemed singularly ig
norant of the dcvoitpniont of file military
situation. Particularly his Ignorance of
conditions on the western front was su
preme, lie was full to the brim with the
most extraordinary fables uliout tho British.
He solemnly assmed inc. for example on
tho faith of a friend or his who had seen
them that Japanese were fighting with the
Kngllsh in France, dressed as Highlanders
bis friend had heard these Asiatic Scotsmen
talking Japanese, ho declared. I thought
of the Gaelle-spenking battalions of the
Camerons and could hardly suppress .a
smile. i
Young Von Boden was supeibly contempt
uous of the officers of the obscure and much
reduced Infantry battalion doing garrison
duty at Goch, the frontier fetation we had
just left, where as be was careful to ex
plain to me he had spent four days of un
relieved boredom, waiting for me.
"Of course, in wartime we are a united
army nnd all that," bo observed unsophlbtl
catedly, "but none of these fellows at Goch
was a fit companion for a dashing cavalry
ofllcer. They weie a "dull lot. J wouldn't go
near the Casino. I met some of them ut the
hotel one evening. That was enough for me.
Why only ono of them knew anything at
nil about Berlin, and that was the lame
fellow. Now, there is rno thing we learn
nut I had ceased to listen In his Irre
sponsible chatter tho boy used a word that
struck a harsh note which went Jarring
through tny brain. He bad mentioned "the
lame fellow," using a German word "del
Stelze" In a flash r saw before me again
that scene in the squalid bedroom in tho Vos
in't Tulntje the cnndlo guttering in the
draft the vivid corpse on the floor and
i hat sinlFter woman crying out: "Der Stolze
lias power, ho ban authority, ho can make
and uninaliO men !"
The mind has unacoountaole lapses. The
nhrase had slipped out of my German vo
cabulary. I had not even recognized It un
til the hoy had. rapped it out In a context
witli which 1 was familiar, and then It had
coino back.
With It. It brought that tableau in the
.liinlv lit room, but also anothei n picture
of a vast and massive man, swarthy and
sinister, with a clubroot, limping heavily
after Karl, the waiter, on the platform at
Rotterdam.
That then, was why the young lieutenant
had glanced down at tny feet at the station
ut Goch. The messenger he had come to
meet, tho bearer of the document, tho man
of power and authority, was clubfoeted, and
I was he !
But seeing I was free of any physical de
formity, to say nothing of the fact that I
In no way resembled the cluhfootcd man f
had seen cm tho platform at Rotterdam, why
had the young lieutenant accepted me so
readily? I hazarded tho reason to be that
ho had orderr to meet a person who hnd
not been furthor designated to hlrri except
that ho would arrive by a certain train. The
Mnjor at tho station would be responsible for
osabllshlng my bona fldos. Once that officer
had turnod mo over to the omlssary, tho lat
ter's sole responsibility consisted In conduct
ing me to the unknown goal to which the
t-peclal train was rapidly bearing us. Such
are the marvels of discipline!
Jly companion was. indeed, the model of
discretion In everything touching myself nnd
my business. Curiosity about yuur neigh
bor's affairs Is a cardinal German falling,
yet tho Count manifested iut Iho slightest
deflro to learn anything about mo or my
mission to Berlin. You may bo Hiiro that I,
for my part, did nothing to enlighten him.
It waa not, Indeed, in my power to do so. Yet
tho yc .IB man's reserve was bo marked that
I was convinced ho had his orders to avoid,
tho topic.
As the twin rushed through Westphalia.

throusli bu-.v stations with glimpses of sid
ings full of li iu-Ub loaded to thp brim, past
towns whose very outlines were blurred by
the mill, or smoke from a hundred factoiy
chimneys, my thoughts were busy with that
swarth.v cnpple. I had hioken away from
him with one poition of a highly prized
document, jet he had tirade no attempt to
li.ne me arrested at the frontier Clearlv.
tin ii, he must still look upon me as un ull'v

was it possible, then, that Clubfoot did
not know Senilin by sight?
The fact that Senilin had only rtcontlv
cursed the Atlantic seemed to confirm this
supposition.
Then tin- clociiincn;. Semlln had hair VChn

from Kugiand. Peihnp.-, nflcr all. mv ran
dom declaration to the hotelkeeper had not
been so far wiong; Clubfont wauled to take
the whole document to Berlin and leap all
the laurels at the eo I or half the danger and
labor. That would explain his present
silence. He subpccied .Semlin of treachery,
not to the common cause, but to him!
It looked as If I might have a free run
until Clubfoot could reach Berlin That.
unless ho also took a special, could not be
until the next evening at cailicst. But. more
redoubtable than a meeting with the man
of power and authority, luii.g over me. an
ever-present nightmare, the inteivlevv whim
I felt awaited me at the end of tny present
journey the Interview at which I must
render an account of my mission.
Lvenlng was falling as we ran through the
inhospitable region of sand and water and
pine that engirdles Berlin. We glided at
diminished speed through the trim suburbs,
skirted the city, on whose tall buildings the
electric sky-signs were ahead' beginning to
twinkle, crashed heavily over a vast network
of metals at some great terminus, then tore
off again Into the gathering darkness. In a
little, we slowed down again. Wc were run
ning tliiough wooded countiy. Fiom the
darkness ahead a lantern waved at us and
the train stopped with a jerk at a little way
side station, a tiny box of an affair. A tall,
solid figure, wearing a spiked helmet and
gray military greatcoat, stood In solltarv
giandeur in the center of Iho little platform,
the wavering lays of a flickering gas lamp
reflected In h..s brilliantly polished top-boots-
"lleio wa are at last " said my companion,
1 stepped out to meet my fate
Tho joung lieutenant was rigid at the
salute before the figure on the platform.
1 heard the end of a sentence as I alighted
" tho gentleman I was to meet, excel
lency !"
The other looked at me. He was a big
man with a cilmson face. He made no at
tempt at greeting, but said In a hoarse voice:
"Have the goodness to come With me. The
orderlies will attend to your things." And,
with clinking spurs, he strode out through
some big kind or anteroom, swathed In wrap
ping", into a yard beyond, where a- big
limousine was throbbing gently.
He stood aside to let me get In, then
mounted himself, followed, rather to iny sur
prise, by the young count, whose responsi
bility to myself had ended. I Imagined, on
"delivering the goods " M.v surprise was of
shiot duration, for once In the ear the young
fhlan chopped all tho formality he hail dis
played om tho platform and addressed the
elder olllcer as "papa." This, then, wns old
General von Boden, of whom the major bud

merly tutor to tho Crown Prince.
Father and son chatted In a desultory
fashlon ncross the car, and I took the oppor

face was of tho most prodigious purple hue,
and o highly polished that it continually
caught the reflect'on of the small electric
lamp In the loof. Hugo gold spectacles, with
glasses so thick that they distorted his eyes,
straddled a great beaklike nose. Ho had
doffed his helmet and wns mopping Ida brow,
and I saw a high, perfectly bald domelike
head, brilliantly polished and almost as red
as his fare. He was clean shaven and by no
means young, for tho flesh hung In bags
nboiit his face. Long years of the habit of
command lmd left their mark In an Im
periousness of manner which might easily
yield to ruthlessness. I Judged.
"I thought t should have had oi tiers before
T left tho villa," tho general said to lilts son,
"then you could have gone straight there.
I supposo ho means to see him here: that Is
why he wanted him brought lo tho villa.
But bo's always tho samo: ho never can
make up his mmd." And he grunted.
"Perhaps there will bo something waiting
at home," he adder! In his hoarse barrack
yard voice,
