Nancy Wynne Talks About Misfortunes of Haver
ford Family That Deceptive Dreamy Look
T HEAR that Mr. William L. Hirst, of
Havcrford, h hnvlng quite n serious
time at the Bryn Mawr Hospital. Tou
know he broke his leg recently, and It
Is one of those corkscrewy breaks that
don't behave like ordinary breaks and
start right in to heal. The doctor now
says that he will have to stay In the
hospital about five or six weeks.
Did you hear how it happened? Tou
know, Mr. Hirst was something of an
athlete while ho was at collect!, and it
seems that on the day of the-accident
he was watching some of the boys who
were playing on the lawn. They were
hurdling, or rather attempting to, and
it got on Mr. Hirst's nerves to see the
way they did it, and he exelnimed :
"You're not hurdling, you're jumping!"
You see, when you jump you just
simply jump, but when you hurdle you
sort of step in the air, or words" to Hint
effect. So he undertook to show how it
should bq done, forgetting, nn doubt,
that he was no longer in training, and
somehow or other caught his foot and
fell very heavily, and broke his leg In
this queer way.
And then his young son. Sidney, fell
while he was playing
the verv next
day, if I have it straight, and broke his
arm. And the. whole family was packed
up ready to go down to Spring Lake,
where they have a cottacc for the sum
mer. The plans were nil changed, of
course, hut 1 believe Mrs. Hirst did
take her younger children down and
open the cottage, leading them there
with their grandmother, while she comes
up to be with her husband.
But did you ever hear so much trou
ble all at one time, and such nn in
opportune time? Wouldn't it be u cinch
if wo could have a largely good time
and then settle down and say, "Come
on, trouble, do your worst, I'm rendy"?
But Instead of that just as wo are
saying, "Come on, good times, fly toit,
I'm ready," along comes trouble butting
in and spoiling the whole party. It's
a great life.
THE Ritz dances. I mean the welfare
dances at the Ritz, uext Week arc to
be for the Dail Vacation Bible benool
Association. Among those who are in
terested, being members of the board
of managers, nre Mrs. Effingham Perot,
Mrs. Edwin C. Grice, Mrs. Alexander
H. Lane, Mrs. John Loman, Mrs. Wil
liam II. Gibbons, Miss Mary Massey
and Miss Sallie II. Green.
This association looks after the chil
dren of the poor during their hummer
vacations, keeps them off the btreets
anil looks after their welfare, gives
them Bible lessons and generally brings
them up to be good Americans. And
the more we hac of those things in
this little country the better the coun
try, don't you ngree with me? Well,
anyhow, Doctor Tomkins, rector of
Holy Trinity Church, is president of
this organization ; Mr. John S. Wurts
is the treasurer, and the Vice presidents
include Bishop Rhinelnnder, Mr. S.
Davis Page, the Rev. C. A. R. Jan
vier, Mr. John Wanamaker nnd Mr.
Martin G. Brumbaugh.
Tho contest dances arc to be held as
usual at the Ritz on Monday, Wednes
day and Friday, and tho dances will go
on until further notice. The contests
arc lots of fun, nnd even if you get
summoned off the floor early in the
game it is diverting to watch the
others a'nd quarrel about which couple
will win.
HAVE you had the experience of get
ting yourself all worked up into a
romantic fervor nbout the dreamy, far
away expression of some overseas man?
And have you thought, "Poor boy,
he's remembering the sound of the guns
and the feel of the mud nnd tho sen
sation of seeing his comrades killed,"
and have you pondered over tho tragedy
of it all, and all that, and then have
you been shocked nnd horrified and sur
prised to hear the overseas man re
mark softly out of his reverie, "You
know, there was a girl at that 'Y' in
Paris, and gee, how that girl could
dance?" So have I. Isn't it n blow?
But that wasn't what I meant to say.
What I meant to say was that one of
those dreamy looks went up the street
yesterday on a soldier who was smoking
a cigarette. He got away with it
all right until he came to a wide pnrt of
the pavement and had to pass one of
those women who have the whole pave
ment nnd don't want any of it except
the part that the only other person on
the street has. So, of course, he had
to pass pretty close to her.
And just before he did so he took
his cigarette out of his mouth and
flipped off the ashes. And when he
pulled his hand up again, cigarette had
' left. He was utterly dumfouiidvd, be
cause there wasn't n sign of a cigar
ette anywhere on the pavement. And
then suddenly tho lady who had just
passed uttered an exclamation, raised
her handsome velvet hand bag, which
had been hanging open and putting her
hand gingerly into its depths pulled out
a half-burned cigarette and threw it
dlsgustedUjuto the street.
And ojMgJjro took the puzzled ex
nresslonJJjBpfSfs face, put on the dreamy
one, lrj-Kcd another cigarette- and
strolled on up the street.

Everybody's buyiug them, judging u.MX) carats of cut gems, valued nt
from government records.
Reports show that during the last
few months the anc of imports of both
rough and cut diamonds lias jumped
to record-breaking ligiucs. In Aptil, ac
cording to figures just made public, the
total imports of rough nnd cut dia
monds reached $7,OH7,270. In March
cen this record wns broken when $7,
013,303 worth were leportcd.
These figures nre surprising, jewelers
sn.v. particular in' view of the fact that
there is a maiked shortage of gems
in the European mnikets, with prices
higher than ever befoic.
During the war the gem imports de
creased to n marked degree, but the last
few mouths bus seen a revival in the
industry caused by the urgent demand
in tliis country.
That the importers have been selling
nlmost as fast as the gems came into
their hands has been a londition that
lias been known in the trade for some
time, and tliut the demand is contin
uing ns brisk as ccr is indicated not
onlv by the enormous imports for April
but also by the fact that importers are
