Nancy Wynne Hears That Brewster Koons Has Returned From
Overseas Major Gilbert Mather Is Mustered Out Elsie
and Jack Electrify Mother
DID sou know that Brewster Koom Is
homo from overseas and lins been mus
tered out7 Yes; ho came back about ten
days ago and has beon stavlnir with Molly
(you know his wife was Molly Balli) at her
parents, the Charlio Ballis at Strafford.
On Monday he and Molly left for riorlda,
where they will spend (several weeks with
Brewster's father and mother, Mr. and
Mrs. Bob Koons, who havo gone down thero
for the w Inter,
I hear that Brewster was ablo to get to
Dal before ho died "over there." What a
comfort tha,t must bo to Mr. and Mr.
Koons, for jou know at first from tbo
cable they could not tell what had caused
his death or am thins about It; did not
know If Brewster was with him or not.
Now they will be ablo to hear It all, and
If there (3 any comfort at such 11 tlmo It
Is the comfort of hearing details about
those dear departed whom wo hao loved.
Dal died of pneumonia following the In
fluenza. SPEAKING of being mustered out, I hear
that Gil Mather who, by tho way, had
1 Iscn to his majority somo few weeks ago
his been mustered out and ho and Gladjs
hao left Tort SHI, where ho was stationed,
mid liavo taken an apartment at tho
Lougacie hero for tho rest of tho wlntei.
Victor Mather, who has also been made a
major, was with the United States army of
occupation in Germany. Victor Is In the
leniount department of the aimy and went
out West to buy horses befoio going oci,
und now he has been recalled to Pails and
Is to stay theio during the Peace Confer
ence. Mis. Mather Is at present In the
South, having gone down In a pi Hale car
with the Harry Dlsstons, Geo Heckschcr,
Mrs. Bill Dravton and teveiat others
THEY aio going to hao a big tlmo out
at tho wee Tea Box at tho Crossvvajs
and Montgomery a enue In Merlon? Well,
home say It's Mellon and some say it's
Bala and some even say it's Cjnwjd, so
that gives you an Idea of whero it may be
n,n nmhrra- It Is at tho Crosswajs and
Montgomeiy avenue. And tho big tlmo is
to bo had this aftetnoon, when Constanco
Binney and Vivien Segal and Helen Bolton
and Thcreso Cane, of the "Oh! Lilly
Lndj !" company will be thero and will le
ceivo tho guests, and Mrs. Horaco Bremer,
who Is choliman of the Tea Bo, will pre
side. You know tho Tea Bon. proceeds are
given oer to a fund for tho comfort of
leturnlng wounded sailors and soldier".
I am naturally Interested In Constance
-sinner, being a I'hiladelplilati, and t do
think she is 11 dear. ou Know sne is tne
niece of Mrs. Geoige Dunning and her
mother was JlKs Miles, or this ctl , anil
her fathei is, Horace Binnej. Mis. Dun
ning was Miss Maltha Binnej, ou know.
Constance first came to my notice about
four jears ago, when she was on hen- stav
ing with her aunt. ' She had taken up fancy
dancing, and was so cunning and success
ful that several persons asked her to dance
at their homes to entertain their guests.
Her talent was to great that she was
asked to join the "Oh! Lady Lad !" com
pany, and Join she did.
Sho is the daintiest, prettiest thing: just
liko a llttlo ball of fluff dancing about the
stage. She and hei cousin. Mrs. Blllio
Drayton, certainly havo the looks of tho
family, though Constance's sister, l'psre
Binney, who is also on tho stago, by the
way, and In acting with Jack Barrjmore,
is also extremely prettv. I'avro is only
seventeen jears old. Isn't It wonderful
how talents inn in some families.'
Among the women who are Intel ested in
the success of tho lea house and who ate
iccehing this afternoon with the ueti esses
are Mr. Samuel S. Alcoin. Mis, Thomas
U. Beltleld, Mis. i.onls A. Belmont, Tied

M'
OTHER was passing tluough the tiur-
sl, and Jack, aged three, were veiy cjuiet,
but as she was pretty busy and thev were
.sitting at their llttlo table talking In low
ones, she breathed n prajer of thankful
ness and went into the next room to get
the stockings to darn. Imagine her feel,
ings as this conversation issued from tho
nursery:
"Daddy," said Elsie, "there's something
wrong with these cocktails. There's well,
there's certainly something missing. In
fact," she continued, "they aro not at all
like those Daddy served to the n 's
last Sunday."
Mother peeped in through the door, and
there sat Elsie and Jack, the Hatter with
head well thrown back puffing imaginary
smoke from a burnt matchstlck, while
Dlsto daintily blew rings from hers. Be
tween them on their little teatable was an
old wine bottle filled with water, and cock
tail glasses "snitched" from the dining
room were filled with tho liquid from the
bottle.
And it you'll believe me, the "finding
something missing" was not imagination,
for upon gentle maneuvering It was ells-k
covered that when the guests who had
been there the week before had been sorved
cocktails the tray had been left in the
drawing room during dinner, and Elsie and
Jack shad slipped in and sampled the dregs
that weie left. Can you beat it?
