Nancy IVynne Hears Various Bits of Gossip Mrs. Duane and
Her Daughter Start for Japan Today Captain
Clark Receives Belgian War Cross
WHAT a wonderful trip Mis. Kussall
Duane and Dolly arc going to havd!
Thejjstarted today for Japan, you know.
Theynre going first to Vancouver, I be
lieve, and thoice to Japan. Of course, the
trip out will be taken leisurely, so that the
western country In Its spring clothes will
be a joy to gaze upon,
They are going to stay with the Roy
Morrises, you know. Roy Morris, or rather
Roland SJorris, is our ambassaddr to Japan,
and Is, Incidentally, a brother ot Mrs. Rus
sell Duane, who was May Morris. Dolly
Duane's real name l Sarah Franklin
Duane, and she It about fourteen years
old. In fact, Dolly has been having a
great time this winter at the Wurls Class
and at various parties. Quite a. few din
ners have been given for her. She's a very
attractive little girl and her fr!6nds will
miss her a lot; but then, Just think of the
wonderful letters she will write of her ex
periences on the way out and over In
Japan with her small cousins. Roland
Morris, you remember, married Augusta
West, whose mother In turn was lllss
Rhlppen; In fact, Mrs. Morris's name was
Augusta Shippen West.
She Is also a" rhlladelphlan. The Mor
rises have been In Japan more than a year
now, since Mr. Morris was appointed am
bassador by President Wilson.
H must be a wonderful country lo visit,
though I do not think 1 would care to live
there. It's so entirely different from our
way ot living that, while one enjoys a
change for a time, It's apt to become mo
notonous in a few years. The Dunnes are
going to stay six months.
WEM'
at tl
there certainly wr.s a wild time
the dancing class yesterday after
noon at Merlon or rather classes, for there
are several different ages who dance at
different times. Tn the oldest class is
Catharine Clothier, who was dressed hh
Little Bo Peep did I say that It was (he
fancy dress meeting and she had a real
live lamb with her. lie had a perfectjy
black face, and he Baa'd around the floor
and posed foi his picture with nil the lest
of the children, a nil when the class was
over he was offered a bottle of milk, which
he fell on with a low growl. Hence the
wild time everybody wanted to see him
and make a fuss over him. Catharine Is
the Isaac Clothiers' daughter, you know,
and she looked sweet in her costume. There
-.-ALA isnnin nn-fll11i u,,PUi.,lfa liliBtlllnilO
k, and I wisli you could have seen' little
iSSyv Sammy Yauclain he was an Irishman in
'-srChv a black tall-coat, green trousers, flowered
-pst and the regulation lilgh hat. And his
c Jjc Louise was an Irish peasant. Ton
kn 'fethe two are Inseparable, and Sammy
won'l stand up in the line unless Louise Is
right witji him, so of course they had to
dress alike. And the Caldwell twins-
Anne and Jean were the dearest things
you ever saw ns Red Riding Hoods. Alex
ander Brown was very gorgeous In black
velvet with a white plumed hat, and Kdltli.
Kendrick wore a stunning affair of while
satin with white swans-downy stuff and
a white hat to match. There were lots
tit other perfectly sweet costumes, and it
was one of the cutest parties I've seen
for ages.
DID you see the crowd waiting outside
809 Chestnut street yesterday for the
opening of the rummage sate there? (!ee
wl7.'. And up at 17S5 Chestnut street
there was another opening! The 809 is to
last three days and Is for the Misericordia
Hospital, am' the 1725 is for the Home
for the Aged, which is under the care ot
AH Saints sisters Just across from St.
Clement's Church at Twentieth and Cherry
itreets.
I wonder and wonder where the things
come from usually, but today I wondered
where on earth the people who buy come
from. And next week there'll be the
Jefferson Hospital sale. Why,Nlt's fierce,
Isn't it? But it you go to any of them
you're sure to be glad, for you find that
you will be able to buy the very thing you
need for almost a song. And yet, when
you hear the women who get these things
up talk, you hear that one salo made Jiuuu,
another $5000, another $10,000 and even
$17,000, as was the case onl a few weeks
ago.
I
WBNX over to New York the other day.
and saw Mrs, King Wainwrlght, Mrs.
Sam Crozer and Mrs. Walter Foulke on
Fifth avenue. They were oi a shopping,
theatre-going expedition and will spend two
or three days In New York. I think 10s
lots of fun to go over there on that kind
of a party two or three congenial women.
You can stick to yourselves, see the shows
you want to, have a regularybuylng test
"ind come back with an entirely new and
rested point of view.
I
HEAR Walton Clark has received the
Croix de Guorre of Belgium. He's re
turning to this country this month. Betty
ScottCIark and her baby have been living
In New York with Betty's mother, Mrs.
Hutchison Scott, and will stay there until
Walton's return, I wnder If Mrs. Scott
will start up the ,Saturday night supper
club again next year? . It ce.'talnly was a
delightful affair and a, more than enjoyable
one. I hope It will be resumed. Mrs.
Scott has been doing some of that lovely
Italian compo work In New York, and she
and Mrs. Charles Schuyler are giving a tea
In Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher'a studio on
East Fortieth street on Saturday of this
week to -show the things they haveTdone.
It's wonderful how things are accomplished
in New York, Isn't It? Don't you think
that Betty Scott Clark has about th,e love

Thinks League a Great Mistake ,
To the Editor ot the Kvtntno PtiMIc Ledger-
gir After considering the subject from
all points of view I ffel compelled" to ex
press my disapproval of the league-of-na-tlons
plan because I bellev? It would Impair
the sovereignty' of our country, while at the
same time making It Impossible for the
United States to avoid becoming embroiled'
In all the European controversies of -the
future,
I fall to see the' necessity of the' United
States becoming a member of a permanent
organization of world powers In order to.
safeguard our honor and Integrity as an
independent republic We successfully pro.
tected our rights against a foreign foe In
1812, as w6 also did In 1846 and In 1898.
I hold that It was proper for ua to combine
our armed forces wtn tnose ot oiner nations

Should Help the President
To the Kilitor of the. Evening I'ublw Lidger:
Sir l am in faor of n league of nations
that will include all, and 1 bellee out ot
this conference of master mliulu will come
a constitution strong enough wnen finished
to govern In a fair and honorable way a
fellowship of nations to prevent war and
I think It should be the desire of every true
American to ftiengthen the, hands of the
President,
He has cone oier tn ljurope as 1'ieshleni
and commander-in-chief of all the United
States military forces with a deteimlnation,
If possible, to bring the conflict to a success
ful termination and we all are a pait of the
resources pledged, and It Is now up to us
to prove that we are 100 per cent American
by helping to push It to a successful con
clusion. Let us have faith In our President:
ho will not let those i tilers pull any tricks
over tin us. He has gone over to help finish
the Job. They dare not try to beat us. AVe
are all that can help them from starvation
and ruin. Let us all trust that out of this
conflict the conference will find some means
lo prevent in centuries to come any recur
rance of this tragedy that has shocked the
whole world.
The rulers of all the nations of Kurope are
Intelligent men, but obstinate anil unreason
ing. The Ivlliopean nation.- now Involved
will be laboring under a burden of war debt
for generations and It Is the gieat mass of
the working people who will have to bear the
major part of the burden and we American
people will cany a large share This ought
to he the closing scene of this Itrrible war.
It must end. because millions of widows and
orphans will cry out and demand the abol
ishment of a cruel and baibaious system
that creates widows and orphans.

"Pardon me. I didn't know the light was
out '
He was n blind bo.v of the troop of the
Bo.v Scouts of America at the State Home
at Overbrook That was my first Indication
that be was totally blind, for he had guided
me tluough the entrance to llie room with
perfect ense and It was not until I fell over
a chair that lie went to the switch to turn
on tlie light. Pour blind scouts hnd invited
tne to give them the examination for merit
badges in- astronomy. They all passed he
cause ihev convinced me. with the aid of
liumb t.-icl.s mul a cuihlon, that they had
seen ' Hie wonders of tlie universe.
Li unmistakable figures at the Liberty
Loan dent-nig house stands the evidence that
these same scouts and their colleagues have
seen the financial need of the country In war
and that they have not only responded them
selves, but have collected over 10,000 sub
scriptions fiom others.
' Will the Hoy Scouts help to sell 'he Victorv
i Liberty Loan" One story will give the an
i swer
I During llie war an enlisted man stood on
ihe curb watching a -Uoy Scout walking
ktuiiitly down the pavement. Ills . question
was peifeillv natural. "What right lias that
bo.v to wear khaki?" He was not aware
that that right hnd been granted b.v an act
of Congress Probably not even that reply
would have satisfied him. The uniform was
not to lie trilled with. Nevertheless, the replv.
lie did get quirted his inquiries.
Mv dear sir, befote the war began or vou
mill ver dreamed that vou ourself would
wear llie -utirmm lhnt boy was wearing his
and helping lo make the woild a decern
pl.nc lo live in Throughout Ihe war he lias
win n ii In his credit and to tlie credit of the
khnivi When von have again put on civil
ian i lollies and gone back lo our selfish
pursuits that boy will still be wealing the
unifoim to keep tlie woild a decent place to
live in '
in the Vietoiy Loan campaign no glamor
will be necessary lo keep the Bo.v Scouts at
woik. Tbeyare prepared nnd ready to fctart at
a word. They will finish the task they set on
the first day of the first Liberty Loan, When
Philadelphia sees SOUO of them running about
the streets finishing tills task with 'we
haven't quit" wiltten on their faces the pub
lic, too, will say. "We haven't quit"
Some weak-kneed nun earned high pav
and saved nothing during the war. Hut the
gieat body of the American people will re
spond lo the appeal of the Victory Liberty
Loan. It is llie American nature.
This is particularly evident to any one in
dose touch with thousands of Bo.v Scouts.
They are from the homes 'of the people, and
It is a treat to hear them say, "I know we
are going to succeed. Dad has already
ptomlsed me more than he gave in the
fourth campaign " Solicitors have complained
to me that n Bo.v Scout got there first and
secured the subscription. My answvr is in
variably the same "Buy an alarm clock."
As everybody should know, the scouts of
Philadelphia hand their subscriptions to the
committee with whom they are working and
lliat committee gets ciedit for the sales. This
is not n duplication. The stars on honor
flags, though embroidered on the flags of
the home, tlie church and tlie place of
employment, are nol duplications. A man
gives himself His wife, his church and his
place of einplo.vmenl aie eacli entitled to a
star, .lust w a sale by a Boy Scout should
be credited to the school and the firm or
church to which lie belongs. Those subscrip
tions all go to the Liberty Loan clearing
house. It is there the Boy Scout blanks are
sorted and ctedit is given the boy whose
name appears on the back
The scout naturally hands ills sale to the
committee thai treats him best. He made
the sale -he is certainlj entitled to this
option.
livery lime, .vou buy from a scout vou
.lot only help Ihe government, but .vou also
help lo vmake a future citizen.
