JtfST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Arancy Wynne Hears About a Children's Luncheon She Has a
. Letter From Brest More Talcs of
" Queer Rummage

TTOW the kiddles do grow up1
And how
they are entertained and leted! Little
Eleanor Colket, daughter of Mrs. Tristram
C. Colket, Is to be honor guest at a lunch
eon on Saturday 'which her mother will
give, and I'll wager It will be a pretty
affair. Among tho little girls who are to
bo guests are Betty and Jane Snowdcn
they lle In rtosemont, jou know; camo on
here Xrom tho West; they are dear little
girls and the Herbert Lincoln Clarks's
little girls Eleanor and Convv 4v and Bessie
Thayer, the George Thajerbs daughter,
Edith Kendrlck, Carollno Ashton, Slary
Clothier and seeral others
TVDN'T vou envy the girls who liavo gone
-' abroad since the armistice- to work?
In a way It's oven harder than when tho
war was going on, for then jou felt that
thero were great things going on and the
men Just needed food and relaxation But
now they aro no longer bringing In tho
wounded and hungry. ou go over there
and ou meet up with thousands and thou
sands of hor..cslck bojs who are waiting,
many of them at Brest to embark as boon
as enough transports cm take them away.
And some of the divisions haio to wait a
long time.
And, too though the camp 1 now floored
over and conditions aro greatly linprocd
at that city, many of tho troops hao to
wait there for months, and jou may
lmaglno their depression I had a letter
recently from one of our voting Philadel
phia "V workers who sailed from here In
January and has been stationed nt Brcit
ulnco her arrhal In France, barring a few
days spent In going up to Paris to report.
I think the part of her letter which do
ecrlbes her entry Into Paris, of which she
had dreamed for vcars, is too rich to keep
to myself To better understand tho rich
ness of this description, bo It baid that
B 1b alwajs tho pink of perfection as
to appearance Shoes and spats are always
Just bo, suit alwajs prcssrd hair never
one strand out of place, hat alvvavs on at
the'exactly correct angle, .nd blouse and
silk or wool stockings alvvavt, "commo II
faut." "Well, she writes: "You should hao
seen me entering Paris. I hail alwajs pic
tured mi self a"J arriving In Paris, If not
smartly attired, at least bonged and
pressed; but there I was in a suit which
had been worn weeks without seeing an
iron, stockings with holes In them, rubbers
on, face unwashed, hair uncombed, and
worst of all, six pieces of luggage to carrj.
No Ellli Island Immigrant had anv thins on
me. In adltlon to my own, I had heveral
pieces of A 's thrust on me, for at that
time I had no definite knowledge that I
could be sent back to Brest However, the
powers that be baw fit to do so and I am
cry glad, for I must confess that In addi
tion to tho work here, Brittany and tho
Breton peasants have a htronn llm '
Sho tells me as Mie had i cold blip was
sent for tho week-end to a chateau several
miles outside of Brest to recuperate
Speaking of Brest, sho s.ivb 'You see,
Brest is one of the most difficult problems
on this side. Both men and women have
been coming down with colds, rheumatism,
etc, constantly, and Miss Watson very
wisely has made a rule that wp must now
use preventive rather than corrective meas
ures. The first night wo landed in Brest
we mled In and talked with the men, and
their depression was perfectly appalling
You see, when they aro here they have
their faces bet toward hoirfe, and then thpy
see so many transports leaving, which
makes it worse, and tho constant rain hPre
adda to their general unrest I wish I
might tell jou of botne confidences that
were made that night."
Now don't you agree with mo that it's
even harder work to talk with and interest
the boys who aro downhearted, oven If It
Is only for a few weeks, than in the excite
ment of war?
Tou'll certainly enjoy what I tell you
about the chateau where she and A
she speaks of 'are staying for the week
end. She says: "It has a baronial hall
with subdued stalned-glasss windows; a
huge dining 'hall with heavy cat veil Flem
ish oak cupboards and fireplace, a gorgeous
ealon and, best of all, we have a flr&tn each
of our bedrorms. Esther Llojd, Zrom our
home town,' Is In chargo tcrnporarllj', and
she makes a splendid hostess and orders
meals with a real honest to goodness Amer
ican flavor." She adds also "Thero is
one man, a Texas rancher here, named
Good Night. Can you beat it?" I cei
talnly cannot, tan you'
She says the poor huge mjuI Is so home
sick he doesn't know what to do I hope I'll
soon get. another letter, foi they are
mighty Interesting, and It shows how nec
essary It is to keep on In the vvotk and
not to relax and stay home just because an
armlstlco has been signed.
DID I tell you they aro going to have
an exact copy of Mrs. Wilson's hat at
tho rummage sale at the Independence
Square Auxiliary of the Ited Cross on Trl
day and Saturday of this week and Mon
day and Tuesday of next week Yes, my
dears; but the hat Is not rummage; no,
Indeed; nothing of the kind. It's brand
new and made by a fashionable milliner of
Walnut street. The name given the color
is "eveque." That's French fir bishop,
and as a bishop In himself is iio special
color, but his rdbed are a deeded rose
purple, that Is piobably why tie French
modiste named It somethlnc A clerical.
Anyway, I am anxious to sea it. In fact,
the hats are to be quite wontjetful, several
firms having sent-brand-new oes.
Then they have a plan, afrd what Is
more, a piano with a history, ijl bet Henri
Scott, for Instance, wovgd like tp have that
old piano, for manj's the tlrn he's done
his do-re ml to its accompanunent. The
explanation of which remark js that the
piano was the property of the late Sieg
fried Behrens, who taught tho opera
singer, among others, to do scales to the
old square piano at 715 Locust street, and
the piano to this day has a sweeter tone
than some of the new ones
They have an organ, too, and all kinds
of excitements. Tho women In charge of
this sale, which Is to benefit Tied Cross
work at that workroom, Include Mrs.
George II. Lorlmer, chairman; Mlsa Klolse

UNEMPLOYED WOMEN
MAY ASSIST FARMERS
Land Army Seeking Substitutes
for Soldiers Who Remain
in City
'The Woman's Land Army isn t trjlng lo
take the positions of men on tho farms, but
the returning soldiers have shown no desire
to go on the land," says Mrs Charles Davis
Clark, one of the executives of tho Woman a
Land Arm- movement.
'"The emplojm'ent bureau In New Tork Is
Just swamped with returning soldiers, who
want to work right in the cltv. They have
been beelng a great deal of excitement, and
many of them who lived on farms want to
remain in tho excltlment of tho cltv
"But the food must be ralbed .Normallj
thero is a shortage of between 1,000 000
and 2 000 000 In farm help In this country
and the Woman's Land Army would llko
to help make up that supplv
The Land Army was planned as a war
emergency, but If the boldlers don't return
to the land there Is no reason whv women
should not continuo the help that they gave
last ear "
III the federal labor report, Mrs Clark bald
3,000,000 women were out of employment
Undoubtedly only a small number of theso
women would be interested in farming, but
she believed that those who were interested
would be employed
Last j car tho work of women on the farms
was rather an experiment, hut before the
end of the season large numbers of women
throughout the country were working trac
tors, pitching hay and threshing and doing all
sorts of" heavy work for which they were
supposed to be physically unfit.

The Plain People and City Reform
To the Editor of thr Evrning Pubti Ledger
Sir I have been reading the Lcdgeis re
cently on charter revision and have been sur
prised at the recent stories of Detroit s fight
for decent government An) storv of that
fight which leaves out the names of Scrlpps
Plngreo and Thompson, and tries to show
that tho commission council its now consti
tuted was the work of three jears onlv, if
trying to put one over on us
As one who took part In the carl pall In
those fights I would like to know if that
grand old warhorse. lUzen H I'iiiErec, and
later William B Thompson helped by tho
grent Tom Johnson, ot Cleveland, and
Scrlpps, of the New-? are not to be given
anv credit for tho new de-al When Pingrco
plowed up tho elty parks and planted them
to potatoes for the poor and built tho three
cent car lines III splto of gangs corporations
and the like, when Thompson fought his
great fight for tho wholo cltv car svsteni
helped by Scrlpps and Tom Johnson, It wasn t
a tight for good government, but for fun
maybe Thompsons greit battle try in tho
Thompson-Codd contest was Bilng tho city
government back to cltj hall, and he WON
The battle for good government rovers a
rWlod of twenty jears and rami to in end
In 1918 because tho railroad deal tint tilled
was the straw that broke the vaiiiels biiK
Tho people of Detroit knew when where and
how to strike to win because for mori thin
twenty scars they have bieji waging just
that kind of a war on eviry form of crooked
ness hi the elty hall which dircd to show its
head Anj story of the good govt rnmeiit
fight in Detroit which leaves out the- story of
the battlu of the plain peoplo undei Plngrce
Scrlpps and Thompson does not tell anything
which would be useful to us here Anil thevo

the man on the street

ho will gain somo real advantage bv It and
not before Are wo to havo the Initiative, to
call backto life a few of the in.ui things
which tho common peoplo want, to rci ill,
to ' fire" any bad councilman, the referendum
so that the people can havo a leal pirt In
tho city government? Aro we going to
metropolitanlze the fire and police depart
ments and build our own street cleaning and
paving plant, or are wo just going to threaten
these things and then give us i ilnrtei
which allows us to do the things mentioned
If we want to?
The present method of having three or
four charter revisions golnf at once, all
started In some star chamber gathering of
front parlor reformers, won't do What we
want is a real job or no Job at all
The common people knew and loved Ilaen

they were human aid went out and told them
what the wanted and why Get i propo

trying for a little moro reform plaudits then
find a man In whom the common peoplo can
and will have faith, get a battle cry that
the man on the street can grasp quick!, and
a man like Ma or Blankenburg to lead iho
way, and you will win. But not unless ou
show us that ou are willing to go the v hole
way and let the people have real part In iho

The articles on Detroit's fight for reform
published in the Evemco Pubmc Ledoeii
were written by James Couzena, Mavor of
that city, and wero printed just as he pre
pared them Editor.
President Wilson's, Problem
lo the Editor ot the Exening Public Ledger
Sir Permit me to heartily congratulate
vcu on your editorial on 'The Guilt of
Judges" appearing In your Issue of March
7. In It you have emphasized the fact that
"war cannot bo waged without brutal waste
and endless mistakes of judgment, that war
I in itself but an organized process of waste
and sacrifice and, for that reason, war must
be stopped."
In his desire to accomplish this last de
mand, the President may have not acted on
all occasions as one gifted with superhuman
Intelligence, but I do not think any one
questions his sincerity, and he is entitled to
whatever help and moral support wo can
give him In trjlng to get what he can in
the furtherance of peace.
If President Wilson had been delegated by
our citizens to go Into seclusion and there,
In quietness and calm, draft a declaration
for world peace, and he had then produced
nothing better than the present league of
nations agreement I would favor placing It
In the hands of some one else, but wo did
not do that and we cannot now displace him
te our representative even If we cared to
It seema to me that the opponents of the
President should consider the fart that he
has been deallnr.wlth men who represented
governments of people whose losses have
been prodigious and In whose minds the
W.;
t?t
that Iho onl wa to prevent war Is to In
creue, and again increase their armaments
If under such circumstances President
V llson has been tho leading factor In get
ting these represent itlves even to agreo to
submit Intern itloml controversies to tho
cooler and wiser judgment of a league of
nations, h has ichleved a glorious victor.
It Is perhaps true tint tho Central Pow
ers trusting In what thev thought was their
invincible power In men and in Inhuman
and deadlv contrlvinccs would not have
stopped their m id course even If they be
lieved tho whole world would league against
them but thev never offered (because the
knew tho consequences) to hold t world
council of representatives and discuss the
question fur oven i ver limited time
If this one big thing of talking it over
can be accomplished leaving many of the
minor Issues brought up by the President s
opponents open to further discussion and
amendment peaen will be established, foi
nations aro much like Individuals
Burglars, murderers and thieves will by
secret and underhand methods, probably con
tinue to pi their vocations but no indi
vidual among them ever thinks of calling a
meeting of his Intended victims to discuss
his right to theii lives and property Full
free and filr discussion would not only end
in the destrmtlon of their business, but
would likelv result In their conversion Into
more desirable members of socletv

A Hundred Well-Equipped Recre
ation Plots for Children "Aim
of Organization
Aiming at 100 recreation p'ots for Phila
delphia children, the Playgrounds Associa
tion Is looking for avallablo locations In
which to set up sand boxes swings, slides
and other parapnornalla to delight hearts ot
the oungsters
A couple of cars ago a recreation center
was started In a cemetery at American and
Brown streets and during the first season
16 000 children plaed thero Since then
tho M John's plav ground lias been enlarged
and Improved until it hts become a well
established center.
Tho Playgrounds Association Is anxious
to set tho temporarv use of vacant lots In
congested parts of tho cltv and will Improve
the propertv and make a pla ground for the
summer without cost to the owner.
The Society of Friends gave the use of
tho grounds at Fourth and Arch streets, the
lot at Hicks and fepruco streets has been
lent by Henry B Cove and a lot at Broad
and Christian streets by John Wanamaker
If other properties aro lent the Pla ground
Association vvill equip them and make them
ready In every way for tho children
M build pla grounds under elevated
rillroad tracks 111 vacant lots, an where
that there Is spare to play games ' savs
Miss Margaret Wllllimsou who directs the
work of the itesnciatlon, and we put a
worker In chargo to direct the pli to tell
stories to the children and tako caie of them
generall
'Sometimes the children sta at the pla
ground ill dav even bring their lunch with
them Sometimes their mothers bring them
In tho morning when thev leave for work
became, the know that the children will be
safer in the pla ground than the would be
alono at home
The annual report of Joseph Wood Wag
ner, the president, shows that the ihlldren
used the plas grounds J.'.OO'I times during
1918
The report ilso mentions the temporal-
severing of relations between tho Plav
grounds Association and tho municipal
Board of Recreation duo to tho political ip
pointment of Edward It Gudehus .is super
visor of recreation i man without experience
In this work it is alleged
1 heso two organisations have worked to
gether tho munli Ipal board building perma
nent lulls gvmnasiums and large recreation
centers while (lie Pliv grounds Assocl itlon
huh been able to cs'ablish pla grounds on
temporary sites at short notice and where
