JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Nancy Wynne Talks of the Pearson-Sharpless Wedding, in St.
Paul's Yesterday She Chats About Several Engage
ments and Returning Heroes
WELL, tho Sharpless wedding took placo
all right, and It was a beautiful affair.
Molly Sharpless Is very good-looklns and
she certainly did make a stunning bride.
Her gown was perfectly beautlfuU quite
plain and of shimmering satin, and It fell
In tho most graceful lines. Though Molly
Is not so remarkably pretty as somo of her
cousins, sho has tho Dixon air, nnd It Is
unmistakable. Sho has a great deal of
stylo and I have seldom seen any one walk
as well. The bridesmaids wero a mighty
good-looking bunch, too. I think Oretchen
Clay is a wonder. You know, when you
first see her she docs not strike you as very
beautiful, but sho certainly does grow on
you, and yesterday In the blue satin gown
and brown hat, which brought the wonder
ful auburn shido of her hair Into promi
nence, sho was simply scrumptious.
Margaretta Sharpless, whoso Illness in
February was the causo of the postpone
ment of tho wedding date, looked vary
sweet, though rather palo. Sho had scarlet
fever, you know, and so tho marriage,
which was to have taken place on Satur
day, February, 22, was changed to March 2G.
Major Pearson, though an Englishman,
is half American, you know. He Is a
nephew of Mrs. Hobart Brown, Mrs. Spen
cer Trotter and tho lato Mrs. "William G.
Cochran and Mr. Sklpwlth Canncll, of this
city, his mother having been a Cannell.
Ho served In tho English army during tho
war and did splendid work, receiving tho
British military cross in 1917.
They have taken a house on Springfield
avenue, in Chestnut Hill, and will live thero'
after their wedding trip.
AND to think of Httlo Anna Strawbrldgo
being engaged!- "Why, It docs not seem
a minute since I saw her in a short white
frock and patent-leather belt, with her hair
down her back, and hero sho Is grown up
and engaged, and tho next thing you know
she'll be getting married. Tlmo doesn't fly,
it Just whizzes, doesn't it? They tell me
Jack Claghorn Is a flno young fellow. He's
'about four years older than Anna, which
is Just about right, and so tho outlook Is
pleasant In every way.
QUITE a few. of us are excited to hear
of Henry Register's engagement to
Mile. Rose Marie (Isn't that a darling
name?) do Montauzan." And not only aro
" we told of his engagement, but also tho
wedding date lias been set, and It will bo
May 20 and will take placo at the chateau
of M. and Mme. Camllle de Montauzan at
Villefranche-sur-Saone.
Henry Register is the son of Dr. aiflt
Mrs. Henry C. Register, of Havcrford, his
mother having been Miss Sita Bartol, and
Henry has tho Bartol as his second name.
He is in the intelligence division of the
ordnance department at Tours. Ho joined
the signal corps in October, 1917, and was
later transferred to tho ordnance. It Is ex
pected that he will bring his bride-home
Bhortly after tho wedding In May.
TALKING of a soldier, did I tell you that
Channlng Daniel has been mustered
out? About a week ago, I understand, and
, he's now with his wlfo at the Vcrners"
placo In St. Davids. You remember Mrs.
Daniel was Katherine Vomer. They have
a darling small son, who Is staying with
his grandparents, too, and they will prob
ably be -there for the remainder of this
season.
B
ILL TAYLOR Is home, too. He's tho
son of Dr. and Mrs. William Taylor
and a brother ofNewbold Taylor, who
married Anne Melrs. Bill married Paulino
Maynard, of Knoxvllle, Tenn. Pauline
camo up here, you remember, nnd was
married from the home of her aunt, Miss
Vanuxem, in Chestnut Hill, last June. I
don't think Bill Is mustered out yet. Ho
was wearing his uniform when I saw him ;
but that doesn't tell you anything these
days, because you can wear your khaki
for ninety days after dismissal from tho
army, you know.
THAT came in well at the Victory Ball,
didn't it? There the tickets, you re
member, were $10 to all except the men In
uniform, so several who had been mus
tered out and whose time limit, however,
was not yet up, donned their uniforms and
bought their tickets and proceeded to the
ball in soldierly array and had a wonderful
time. And why shouldn't they, poor souls !
An officer told me the other day he had
received a commission in September, and
that by the time he received his three
months' pay for the three months in tho
service before he was mustered out again
'he'd still be out some sixty dollars for his
equipment as an officer. You know they
have to buy even tho mattresses they
sleep on. So this being an officer has its
drawbacks, all right, from a financial point
of view, and don't you forget it.

EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER
SHOWS HOW SOLDIERS
WERE "MADE TO FIT"
Army Personnel Organization
. Tests Exemplified at Chamber
of Commerce
To use every soldier skilled In technical
ability where skill Is demanded, was the
problem met by tho Army Personnel Organi
zation, whoso exhibit of method is on public
lew In the Chamber of Commerce assembly
room.
The classification of rookies wnt made on
a basis of occupational trade skill, previous
epelence, former employer, nnthlty, citi
zenship, schooling, linguistic nbllity, mental
ability as observed from psychological tests,
ph) steal ability, leadership nbllity, prelous
military experience, and kind of seivli-o pre
ferred. Officers receded their rating on the
basis of physical qualities, general Intelli
gence and ability to meet new situations,
force In leadership, dependability, loyalty, In
dustry, nnd professional knowledge, .skill and
experience.
Bach camp then reported to Washington
the men ieceled nnd classified each week,
and Washington knew through Its peisonnel
staff where these men of varying occupa
tional skill were needed. To fill requisition",
men weio ordered nccording to their occu
pational qualifications, from the camps where
they were known to be available.
.More than 100 trade tests hne been de
veloped to determtno these qualifications.
By means of oral examinations, anil by ac
tual performance tests, tho personnel staff
was able to judge the extent of tho soldier's
ability.
The steps taken In the making nf thee
trade te-ts to bo used for mcasuiing ability'
are as follows: Full Information about tlie
trado is g.uheied from labor unions, cm
nlojcrs, trade schools and trade llterntuic.
Then a set of tentatle questions or a tenia.
tle Job embodying the essential features of
tho trade Is prepared, and these nre tried
out un a few established tradesmen of differ
ing degrees of trade ability, nnd tho test
is reMscd in tho light of tho results of these
trials.
As rcised. it Is then tried out on twenty
men who nre known to be experts In tho
trade, on twenty who are journemeu, on
twentv who nre apprentices, nnd on twenty
intelligent ndults not trained to tho trade. To
aold localisms tests are tried out on men
in Cleel:ind, Pittsburgh, Newark nnd New
York
And tho answers to the questions or job
performed by the elahty men are analyzed
to determine which combination of questions
or Jobs will most accurately separate experts
from journeymen, Journeymen from appren
tices, apprentices from noxlces. The finished
grade tst is then prepared and sent to trade
tst stations In the arlous camps.

SONATA RECITAL AT
THE LITTLE THEATRE
D. H. Ezcrinan and Snscliu Jacobi
noff Perform Works of Bee
thoven, Lckcu and Grieg
A form of musical entertainment which is
noxv rarely given, but xxhlch tlescrx-es to bo
more frequently heard, was glxen last exe
nlng nt the Little Theatre by 1). II Kzerman,
pianist, and Pascha JacoblnofT, violinist. This
wns ti Sonata llxenlng, and three represen
tative sonatas of various periods nnd styles
of musical thought xxcre well performed.
The first xxas the. C minor sonata of
Beethoven, with Its vigorous first moxemenl.
Its exquisite adagio and Its sclntlllntlng
scherzo Tho work xvas Interpietcd xxith ar
tistic caro nnd much feeling, especially In
the slow moxement. Then came the Lekeu
sonata In (!, the work of a ung Belgian,
a pupil n f Cesar Kranck, xxho died at the
age of txxenty-four
This sonata has been a faxorltc xxlth xlo
linlsts for the hist ten enrs or to, but It
cannot be said tu be so conxinclng musically
ns the Beethoxcn, xxhlch preceded it, or the
(irleg C minor honatn xxhlch followed it. It
Is xery long nnd barely escapes the charge
of diffusenesK. Thematleally It Is a descen
dant of Cesar Franck, ns might legitimately
he expected In sn young u composer who xxns
excluslxely under Pranck's Influence, but
xvhat the themes lack In originality the) make
up In their hold melodic ctirxo and In In
tensity. Tlie sonata Is one of the most inter
esting since those of Brahms and Franck.
although It must lie admitted that in the de
velopment, xxhlch Is generally by the themes
almost Intact, Instead of by phrases from
them, the crcxices aro tint iilxxays hidden
