Nancy Wynne Hears That National League Girls and Emer
gency Aid Aides Will Dance in Charity Ball Pageant.
Service for Captain Mc'Call
"ITELL, the first rehearsal for tho Charity
' Ball pageant Is to take place today,
and let me tell you It's going to bo some
pageant. About two hundred of the danc
ers have already accepted and they and
Charlie Morgan will be "hard at It" all
afternoon.
It's rather Interesting to hear that two
relief organizations made up of the younger
girls are going to represent two of the
groups. For Instance, tho girls in National
Leaguo for Women's Service, (you know,
the ones who wear blue suits with leather
collars and cuffs) will danco in the Chil
dren's Hospital group and the Emergency
Aid' Aides (those who wear blue suits with
red on their collars, cuffs and hats) will
take part In tho Jefferson Hospital group.
It strikes me that's a pretty clever Idea
on tho part of tho chapcrones who asked
them to dance.
The leaders of the National League
group will be Dorothy Blair .and John
White, Malslo Bush and Stewart Wurts,
Jr. Mrs. Benjamin Bush, Mrs. John Dray
ton, who was Charlotte Bush, and Mrs. Ned
Ilsley are in charge of this group and tho
girls who will dance in It are to Up Mar
garet Bemak, Marlon Balrd, Gatnor Balrd,
Lucy Grey, Mildred Fetterolf. Beatrice Har
rlty, Dorothea Oberteuffer, Elfcanor Vomer,
LAtcIIlo Kennedy, Virginia Roberts, Marion
Button, Elisabeth Yartllcy,. Betty Bennett,
Margaretta Jcanes, Mildred and Carolyn
Sheppard, Louise Scull, Lois Jackson, Doro

Btreth, Eleanor Wurts, Ruth Mann, Bar

Eleanor McCawley, Mabel Reld, Flfi
Wldener, Catherine Lloyd, Frances Leaf,
Nancy and Eleanor Dunning, Elizabeth
Kennedy, Helen Bhelton, Banning Grange,
Betty Elliott, Mrs. Fenno Hoffman, Mrs.

Mary Law, Mrs. Adrien Kolff and Mary

"OU know the Joseph B. McCalls had
- planned to have a memorial service
for Howard in October, but the ban on
meetings prevented Its taking place then.
So on Sunday, there will bo a service at
11 o'clock at the Church of the Saviour,
Thirty-eighth and Ludlow, where young
Captain McCall usually attended church.
The service will be conducted by the
rector. Dr. Robert Johnson, assisted by the
Rev. Edmund Booth Young and the Rev.
John, R. Hart, Jr. One of Captain Mc
Call's relatives, Mr. James Lord, who is
organist and choirmaster at Calvary
Church In Germantown, will preside at
the organ and I understand that Mr. nnd
Mrs. McCall will be very glad to have all
Howard's friends attend. You remember
Captain McCall was killed In action on
July 20, while commanding Company G,
Fifty-ninth Infantry. He was a brother of
Joe McCall who married Louisa Davis and
of Lenore McCall who came out a llttlo
m6re than a year ago.
The McCalls, by the way, have moved
Into an apartment at 1830 RIttenhouse
for the winter having closed their beautiful
house at 4200 Walnut street.
fTtHE Philadelphia Junior Auxiliary of the
J-American McAll Mission is going to
meet all day today at the home of the
second vice president,-. Genevieve Dillen
beck,, 123 Upsal s'treet, Germantown. You
khow they are sewing for the French and
Belgian refugees, and they have any num
ber ofrthlng3 made that they are going to
send off at tho end of the week, and they
are all to bo on exhibition today. These
girls meet every Friday and on'nccount of
the trouble about trains and things last
winter when it got so cold, oh! will you
ever forget it? the Germantown members
decided to meet out there this year, instead
of trotting' all the way Into town. Tho
Junior McAll does awfully good work, you
know, and several of the members have
volunteered for service with the French
War Relief at Nineteenth and Walnut.
Dorothea Oberteuffer Is president this year,
Mary Henderson la vice president. Kath
crlne Gilbert Is corresponding secretary,
and Frances Buck is treasurer. Genevieve
Dlilenbeck, as I said, Is second vice presi
dent. Her engagement to Bob Perry was
announced recently, you remember.
Some of tho other members are Charlotte
Morris, who was president last year, and
i is ft very earnest worker she was a fai m
erette this summer, by the way Helen
Bornett, Lee Shipley, Mrs. Thomas Miles,
Jean De Rousso, Mrs. Ralph Glbb, Mrs.
Georgo Lawrenco Miller, Ellse Darby, tho
two Marshalls, Ruth and Dorothy; Doro
thy Harper, Frances KUburn, Joe Llppln
cott, Hazel Coffin, who is also a motor
messenger; Eleanor Wunder, Mrs. Orlando
Crease, Jr., Ray Fox, Mrs. Donald East
lake and Alice Dlilenbeck. Thero are a
number of others, of course, and more peo
ple are getting Interested all the time. It
Is a thoroughly worth while organization,
and they havo accomplished a great deal
6f work, and by the way they are going
nt It again this year, "I'll say" that they
expect to get a lot more done.
JOHNNY and his little sister were taken
U out to the Zoo the other day, nnd they
had, a large time, shivering in front of
the Hon cage, riding on the donkeys and
screaming With glee when tho elephant
hrew -water over his own back. But the
thing that, interested them most was the
pond where tho seals wallowed around
and barked at them. One of' the seals
came up out of the water to get a bet
ter look at them, and just' then another
one reached up and barked excitedly, and
the Inquisitive one Immediately dived, and
it must ,have made some Impression on
Jahnny.

encouraged to read each day's papers, but the
contest .questions will be taken only from
Friday's .publications.
'The manner of preparing Its own Scouts

to determine, as also lr the manner of choose
Ing which boy will represent, the troop at the
examination.

OLD JOBS AWAITING
RETURNING SOLDIERS
Most Corporations and Business
Houses Here-Will Take Care
of Former Employes
Philadelphia's homecoming heroe3 who'
gave up their positions to enter the service
will not suffer for want of opportunities to
take Up clvlllnn life where they left off.
Officials of manufacturing concerns, cor
porations and mercantile establishments here
arc unanimous In their nssertlons thnt the
enlisted man will be offered his old position
or Its equivalent when he returns from can
tonment and overseas.
Following nre statements by representa
tives of business firms:
Herbert Tlley, general manager. Straw
bridge & Clothier: "We will be very gl.iu
to take back every man who left our employ
tempornrlly to enlist. They nre absolutely
sure of their old positions with us."
J. . Htull, superintendent of Wnna
mnkcr's: "Wo are working out a plnn now
with a view to making room for the soldiers
when they return. Everything will be settled
within a few days."
Ilell Telephone Company, publicity depart
ment: "Ofllclals of the company desire to
say that everything posslblo will bo done to
lnstal the enlisted man In his former post.
We do not know how many of the thousand
or more who went away will return to us,
nnd until this Is determined, wo cannot foim
any definite program of rearrangement of
our personnel."
Kdwnrtl (1. Iladd, president of the E. G.
Budd Manufacturing Company: "Tho sol
dier boys will be well taken caro of by us.
Wo hnve had a standing plnn since the be
ginning of the wnr to relnstato every man In
our employ who Joined tho colors. They
fought for us, and they deserve every con
sideration "
HUert C. Perry, miperlntcndent of Lit
Brothers: "We'll receive the boys with open
arms. Every one who left our employ to
enter tho service, more than 200 alt told, will
be taken care of, come what may."
John i. Jmr DobHon, Inc.: "The matter
has not been dlscusbed, but we have every
hope of finding places for tho homecoming
soldier. Wc feel that It is a patriotic obli
gation." lMwiiril It. IlnbertM, vice president nnd
general manager of Henry Dlsston & Sons,
Inc., Tncon: "We deem It our duty to re
turn the enlisted men to thclr,old posts. It
will be a pleasure. They are all fine boys,
we esteem them highly nnd ccrtnlnly want
them hack. It has always been the policy of
the compnny to give the enlisted man every
consideration. During the Civil War. wo
paid our soldiers half salary while they were
away, and the snmo plnn was applied dur
ing the border troubles In Mexico."
Nnniuel HnellrnliurK, of N. Snellenburg &
Co.: "The returning mm will be g'ven em
ployment. We cannot nssure them their
former places, but we Intend that they shall
be Just as well off as before the war."
A. A. ritrUtlun, advertising manager nt
Olmbel Brothers: "The boys will be taken
care of. Every man was told that his Job
waB good when he went away."
Atlantic lie lining Company officials:
"There Is every likelihood that tho boys will
be reinstated. Aside from patriotic consider
ations, we need tmen very badly nnd will
probably feel a shortage of labor for somo
years. The returning soldiers will likely form
a large addition to our present staff of em
ployes." x. y

ADVENTURES
By DADDY
A complete new adventure each week, begin
nino Monday and ending Saturday
"THE NIGHT FLYER"
(Peggy is asked hy the Hv ilt of Safety
to guuul Engineer Hill Carney as he ilrives
7il (rnl)i through the dark. A myiterious
dancing figure appears befoje the engine
while H is In full flight When they comv
to a station Peggy mvcsliffntcs the sup
posed specter.)
CHAPTER V
Dancer Ahead
STUCK to the headlight of the locomotive
was a dead leaf. This dead leaf was the
dnnclng ghost which had appared before tho
flying train and made Dnglneer BUI Carney
think he wns "seeing things."
The brilliant glaro of the electric lamp
threw the bhadow of the leaf nhead and
enlarged It until It was the size of a human.
Ah the edge of the leaf nuttered In the wind,
the shadow appeared to be dancing. Tho
headlight acted Just like a moving picture
machine nnd the leaf was like a film
Ptggv saw It all In n moment. She saw,
too, signs of tho guilt of Fred, the fireman,
for the stem of the leaf was securely fasten
ed to the top of tho lamp That Is what
Fred had been doing when he disappeared
from the cab at the Junction.
Tearing the leaf loose, Peggy hurried back
Into the cab.
Peggy held the leaf up before Knglneer Bill.
He could see It, but all he buw of her wns
a wisp of steam.
"Here's the dancing figure that was both
ering you," she exclaimed. "It was fastened
to the headlight."
Knglneer Bill nearly fell out of his seat
when he heard her voice. But he put out his
hand and took the leaf.
"That was It a leaf on the headlight, and
I thought It a specter. I'm not seeing
things after all," he muttered. But then an
other thought struck him. "I'm not seeing
things, but I'm hearing things'"
"Don't you worry about that," said
Peggy. "You're Just hearing me, nnd I've
been sent by the Spirit of Safety to watch
over you "
Bill apparently did not know what to make
of that, hut he didn't hae a chanc,e to puzzle
over It, for Just then the conductor gave the
signal and the Night Flyer gilded out of the
station.
Now Fred, the fireman, tried a new form
of mischief. He neglected his fire. Number
337 began to get hungry and when It got
hungry the big locomotive lost steam. Sick
as he was, Knglneer Bill noticed this. He
glanced at his steam gauge, then gave quick
orderB to Fred.
"Keep up youc fire," he shouted. "We're
losing time."
Fred Jumped to his work, and Boon had
the fire raging as hot as ever. But as
Knglneer Bill grew weaker and weaker and
drooped more and more, Fred slackened In
his work It was mean, and Peggy grew
Indignant.
Swooping down Into the tender, she picked
up a piece of coal. This she. threw with
all her' might at Fred, catching him In the
ear. He gave a yell, and clapped his hat
to his head. Peggy picked up another lump
of coal and, "bang" she hit Fred on the other
ear. As he swirled around she cried out to
him:
"Get busy with that fire, you Blacker."
Fred looked all around, and Peggy lot fly
another chunk of coal. Fred ducked his head,
but the coal caught him right on the tip of
his nose.
"Get busy!" shrieked Peggy,
Fred, badly frightened, .didn't wait for
another warning. He went to work with a
vim, apd soon Number 3S7 was roaring along
with all the-eteam Its boilers would carry.
Wy 'now wirinter m wait nearly fanning.

Ills eyes were glnssv nnd he scarcely could
hold his throttle Peggy climbed up beside
him nnd put her hind" to brace him.
As sho did so she looked ahead Tho Night
Fiver w.ih roaring Into h town. Ahead were
switch lights all of thim green, the color
of bnfety. Hut suddenly, as tlley flashed hv
one of them. Number 3.17 gave n great lurch
to one side and Jumped Into a side track
Bight ahead was a standing pnssenger train
waiting for the Night Flyer to go by.
"ftop! stop1" shrieked Peggv. giving
Knglneer Bill a push that J.irred all his
senses back Into action On went the air
brakes, back went the reverse leer, and
the great Night Fler held back with all Its
strength from the destruction that seemed
certain.
With n wild yell the fireman Jumped for
safety. But Engineer Bill stuck br.-ncly to
his post as the train lunged on.

AllKOt'I.All hubbub echoed from below
Voices were crying out. doors were bang

The girl was spenklng, saying In her lew
and pleasant voice phrases that were vague
to me about her surprise, her delight at
seeing me Hut I did not listen to her. 1

you any place to hide me' This place Is
dangerous for me . I muet get away.
If ou can't save me, don't stay here but
get aay yourself as last as you can They'te
after me and if they catch ou with me It
will be bad for yt-u !"
Without a word the girl turned round to
the room she had Just leH She beckoned
to me. then knocked and wont In. 1 fol
lowed her. It was a big, pleasant bedroom,
elegantly furnished with a sett carpet and
silk hangings, and I know not what, with
rnnded lights nnd flowers In profusion. Sit
ting up In bed was a stout, placid-looking
woman in a pink silk kimono with her ha'r
coquetlshly hrnlded In two short pigtails
which hung down on either side of her tnce.
Monica closed the door softly behind her
"Why, Monica '" she exclaimed In horror
and her speech was that of tho United
States "what on earth '
"Not a word, Mary, but let me explain
"
"Hut f,r land's sake, Monica "
"Mary, I want you to help "
"But, say, child, a man In my bed

"Oh. shucks, Mnry ! let me tHlk."
The distress of tho womnn In bed wns to
comic that I could scarcely help laughing
Sho had dragged the bedclothes up till only
her eyes could be seen. Her pigtails bobbed
about In her emotion.

told me nnd that's that he's in dang-r and
wants mo to help him
"I met him outside and brought him right
In here, as I know you would want m. to,
wouldn't you, denr?"
The lady poked her nose over tho top of
tho bedclothes
'Tresent the gentleman properly, Monica I
sho said severely.
' Captain Okewood Miss Mary ITin
dergast." said Monica.
Tho ladv's head, pigtails nnd nil, now np
penred. Sho appeared to be somewhat ir.olll.

"I can't sav I approve of your way of doing
things. Monica," she observed, bu less
severely than before, "and I can't thlrk what
nn English officer wants In my bed.oom at
ten minutes of two In the morning, but If
those Deutschers want to find hirr,, perhaps
I can understand '"
Here Bhe smiled nftectlonatjly on tho
beautiful girl nt my side.
"Ah! Mary, you're a dear,'' replied Mon
ica. "I knew vou'd help us Why, a Ilrltlsh
officer In Germany Isn't It loo thrill
ing?" She turned to me
"But. Des," she paid "what do you want
me to do'.'"
I knew I could '.rust Monica and I rr
solved 1 would tru-.t her friend, too. she
looked a white v.omnn all right. And If she
wns u trlend r( Monica's her heart would be
In the right place. Francis and I had known
Monica r.il our lives almost. Her father had
vi for years Indeed to the dny of his
d nth In London as the prlnc'pal Euro
pean representative of a big American finan
cial house. Thev hnd lived next door to us In
London, nnd Francis nnd I had known Monica
from the days when she was a pretty kid
In short skirts until --he had made her debut
nnd tho American ambassndress had present
ed her at Buckingham Palace At vnrlou"
stngea of our Hies, bo'h Finncls nnd I had
been In love with her, I belleie, but my lite
in the nrmv hnd kept me much abroad, so
Francis hnd seen most of her nnd had been
tho hardest hit.
Then the father died and Monica went
traveling nbroad In great state, ns bents a
young heiress, with a prodigiously respectable
American chaperonc and a retinue ot retnlneis
1 never knew the rights of the case between
tier nnd Francis, but nt one of the Herman
embassies nbroad I think In Vienna sne
met the young Count Itnchwltz, head of one
of the great Sllcslan noble houses, and mar
ried him.
I had supposed thnt tho German man's
habitual attitude of mind towards women
nad not suited the girl's Independent spirit
on hearing that Mon'ca. a few years after
her marriage, had left her husband nnd gone
to live In America. I had not seen her sfneo
she left London, and. though we wrote to
one another nt Intervals, I had not heard
from her since the war stnrted and had nu
Idea that she had returned to Germany
Monica Itachwitz wan, in fact, the last per.
son I should eer hnve expected to meet In
llerlln In wartime.
So, ns briefly ns I could nnd listening in
tently throughout for any sounds from the
corridor, I gnve the two women the Mory of
the dlsappeaiance of Francis nnd my Journey
Into Germany to look for him. At the men
tion ot mv brother's name, I noticed that the
girl stIITcned nnd her face grew rigid, hut
when I told her of my fears for hlu safety
her blue eyes seemed to me to grow dim.
I described to them my adienturo In the
hotel nt Rotterdam, my reception In the
house of General -ion Bodcn, nnd my Inter
view at the castle, end ng with the exper.
ences of that night, the trnp laid for me
at the hotel and my encounter with Clubfoot
In the room below. Two things only I kepi
hack' the message from Franc's and tno
document I decided within myself that tn
fewer people In those secrets the safer tney
would be. I am nruild, therefore, mat my
account of my Interview with the Emperor

"You won't catch any Deutschers -fooling

Monica spoke quite calmly. She was al
n.is prefectly self-possessed.
"My brother Is stopping with me In ouf

said. "You remember Gerry, Des he got all

"You nre too kind, Monica," I answered1;,
"but you risk too much nnd I can't accept.-
"It's no risk for a day or two," she eftld.
"I am a person of consequence In official
Germany, you know, with my husband aide-de-camp
