" iV ' ,,sal n tftf ,K &ua GOSSJP ,4J50tfT PEOPLE Next Week's Beneficiaries for Welfare Dances Nancy Wynne Sees a Pretty Costume Rainbow Fete at ! Huntingdon Valley Very Successful T HEAR that the Harrison Day Nursery, of which Mrs. Ben' Frailer b president, and the Ban Crlstoforo .Bar Nursery, of which Miss Miriam Roberts is In charge, are to benefit by the welfare dances at the Ilitz next week. Tho dances have been moved to the roof, you know, which makes it much nicer on these hot nights. TJyten dale Balrd Caner and her brother, Charles Balrd. who made such a hit with their dance the other night, are coming to repeat it on Friday night, and next week there will be competi tion dancing. Bounds quite like Cape May, doesn't It? If they could just Import some salt air and a few breezes it would be the real thing, wouldn't it? T SAW Dorothea Oberteuffer the other y J. day in an awfully hf coming get-up. It was a blue and white georgette crepe, the ground of soft, dull blue and the white in diamond-shaped blocks of nar row stripes. That doesn't describe it Tcry well unless you've seen the dress, but it was lots of fun to think out. Then she wore a little hat, close fitting, of tan straw, with the crown almost en tirely covered with forget-me-nots. She has blue eyes, you know, and very light hair, and the effect was most attrac tive. THE Rainbow Fete yesterday was really wonderful. It was hold out at the Huntingdon Valley Country Club to help the Ablngton Hospital, and it was a great success, It you nslc me. i It wns quite distinctly military, you know, and all the aides wore the little blaze of the Rainbow Division, and there were huts representing the Sal vation Army, the Y. M. O. A., the K. of C. and the Hostess House of the T. W. C. A. There was a bugler, who gave the calls for various activities attention, assembly at 2 o'clock and call to the Fashion Show in the tea garden, nnd that was some Fashion Show, too. Perfectly stuiinlng gowns, on such good looklnc mannenUins. nnd how the man nequins kept from behaving like human beings and speaking to their friends whll noslntr Is more than I enn tell . von ! Mrs. Nicholas Biddle was a stunning model, and so was Mrs. Harry Dlllard. But how on earth did they stand those fur coats nnd cloaks? Then there was drill call for the B. A. A.'s, and, oh, but those girls did look hot! They did awfully well, though, In spite of the tempera ture.. Then there was mess call, which everybody welcomed with great pleasure. And nt nunsct that wonder ful retreat. I don't think there s anything quite like that, just at the end'of the day, when everybody quiets down so that you can hear the birds (and they were all round the club yes terday), nnd then that' strong, compel ling noto of the bugle nnd the flag flut tering down and every man in uniform standing at salute, and then that mo- .11 !,. After the buttle Jt s " very quietly but undeniably thrilling. Iater the bugler played tattoo and finally taps. AND speaking' of bugle calls, a well known Thlladelphlan got very po litely called down the other day in con nection with something of the kind. He s an artist, and he was doing a soldier picture. He wasn't quite sure about some detail or other of the blaze that he was making, and he went out on a still hunt for a man In that division to pose for v him, or nt least to stand still long , enough for him to sec what he wanted. So he started up Broad Btrect, inci dentally at the same time Hint a parade was doing the same thing, nnd nbout the first thing he saw was n solder wearing ' the blaze that he was after. Up he breezed to him, and as he breezed the band started the national anthem. Far be it from him to notice national anthems when he was getting information. So he continued to breeze. - "I beg your pardon," he started, ' but I think you can help me." The soldier turned around, with his overseas hat in his hand, reached up quietly, removed the artist's Btraw hat from his head, handed it to him gently and remarked politely, "Now. just wliat was n you wanted?"

Worker Does Not Want to See Waxed Floor Again for Twenty Years "I nm so tired! When T get home shall never dance again ; not for twenty years!" Miss Marjorie Persons, a Phlladcl phlan, who wns for two years secretary for the East Central field committee of the Young Women's Christian Associa tion, 030 Witherspoon Building, voiced the sentiment which animates virtually every woman war worker In France these days, in a letter sent recently to Miss Esther Hawes, field executive. Miss Persons is now with the signal corps nt Trocs, Germany, in a house which the Fnlted States Government has taken over for the Y. W. C. A., a building equipped completely with linen, silver and four maids. "Life is indeed very pleasant in the army of occupation, Miss Persons writes, ''and I can't yet believe that I am in wermany; but yes, there are times, too. I hnvc been trjing for two days to get baked potatoes, nnd appar ently I will have to show the German servants how to do them." Miss Persons met General Pershing when he reviewed the troops at Treves, and during one of her trips to Paris en countered Admiral and Mrs. Benson, who formerly lived in this city. "Thank goodness we nre going to stay home to night," Miss Persous writes fervently. "I have ben to three dances already this week. I am going to cut out offi cer dances and just go to the enlisted men a. I nlmost feel as though I'd never want to see men or hear dance music again!" Her sentiment is that of all the American girls who have been caught in the "dancing mania" of Europe. All over trance tnerc are slender brown figures dancing. It is n natural reaction after the ex cessive strain of the war, and so the girls must dance too. None of them signed up for such overseas service. But the girl who can't do it. micht ns well be back home. British Honor Pessoa London, June 4. (By A.'p.) The government gave a dinner in honor of Dr. Pessoa and party at Lancaster House last night.

GUMMERE Alert, Keen 8cholar and Charming Gentleman, Writes A. Edward Newton To the Editor of the Kvtnlnp Public ledger: Sir "Gummere is dead 1" I kept repeating these words to myself yester day afternoon as I walked across the beautiful campus of Haverford College after the simple service over the remains of my dear old friend. "Oummere is dead!" I wonder how many people In Philadelphia understand that one or its most distinguished citi zens in Borne respects its most dis tinguished citizen has passed away, for Oummere was reared and spent the greater part of his life at Haverford, on the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the mnln line of the Pennsylvania Bailroad Is Just as much Philadelphia as Spruce street. "Oummere is dead!" That alert, keen, intelligent scholar and charming gentleman we shall never see him again: hut we shall never forget him. It has been my privilege to live on terms of intimacy with a good many college professors : Felix Schelling, of Pennsyl vania, I have known for more than thirty jcars; Osgood, the head of the English department at Princeton, I count as one of my warmest friends; and Tinker, "dear old TInk," the idol of Yale have we not walked each othcr'B legs off book hunting In London ? There are a lot be side, but all English scholars were ac customed to doff their hat to Gummere. Gummere was in n class by himself; or, if not quite by himself, there was only one other man In it, Kittredgo, of Harvard. Sometimes when Gummere forgot himself and showed what a wealth of learning was concealed Deneam nis customary modesty, we, at the club, used to sny to him, "Come, come! Gum mere. You are not Kittredge, you know." How he would lnugh ! A week or ten days ago I was in Boston nnd lunched with Kittredge at the "Club of Odd Volumes," In Mt. Vernon street, and I told him this story. "Did you eer know n more wonderful man?" he said, and, of course, I never did. What was his subject at Haverford? It was literature, of course, but what is literature if it is not lire? The love of literature cannot be taught; the mis take so ninny scholars make Is in trying to tench it. As in the old adage, "one can lead n horse to water yet can't mnln. him drink." so It is with lltera- r TIip heat that one can do is spread the table bountifully nnd say "ninntr U served." suggesting per haps n wise sequenre ot tnsnes ami mi: wines that best go with each. This was Oummere's plan. What a rnnge he had ! Sometime ago one ot the trustees, or board of gover nors, or overseers, or whatever they call themselves, out nt Haverford, con valescing from n long Illness, sent to the library for some novels when he dis covered to his surprise thnt the college library contained very little nction. He sent for Oummere nnd said. "I have sent my check to the librarian and I want the money spent in buying fic tiongood stuff, you know, the sort of novels that last." Gummere told nic the story himself nnd he told me. too. of the novels that he bought. "All my favorite authors," he said, reeling off a list which might have led you to be lieve that he was the most inveterate novel reader thnt ever lived, rivaling the late John G. Johnson or my old friend Judge Sulzberger. And he has gone! Gummere has gone! I have referred to his friendly rivalry with Kittredge. In another re spect the Gummere family impinge upon n Boston tradition. Boston hns its Adamses; we hnvc our Gummcrcs. Sjdb'Darvant lw narner-ar.

I must confess I was surprised. It. Is obvious, Mr. Padcrewski wished to lead Into error the public opinion of the XL, S. nbout the true eastern Gallcla altu- ation, which is as follows: After the Austrian collapse last fall, the Ukraln- , ians, which constituted 75 per cent of : all population in' eastern Galicia, ac- nation, established their own republic as 'dk "West Ukraine. But on January 22, 4a ini!V tho n,(rnmitil nf Wf TltrratnaT rJiW proclaimed union with the Ukraine of Russia, headed by Petlura's Govern ment and sthce that time Petiura'g Gov; ernment executed power in b'Mh parts of Ukraine.

Mr. Paderewskl calls four million Ukrainians In eastern Ga licia Candits because they are striving for freedom and lie wants them anhdi- . gated at auy cost. If he succeeeds, there v will never be peace in that part of Eu rope, and the Ukrainians of eastern Onlirtn will never eestie fWrttlnir until they will be free.
