JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Nancy Wynne Says a Feiv Tilings About theWcather.
She Talks of Newport Doings The Russell
Duanes in the West Other Matters
WHAT on earth shnll I tnlk nbout
today? It's clone notlitnc but
rnln, rnln, rnln, till every one Is nbout
as soaked as the whent crop, and thnt's
Kolns some ! Did you ever know nny
thing to beat it, nnd when yon hour
that, don't you wnnt to kick someone?
And yet don't you wnnt to sny It your
self? You do.
Why, yesterday T was golnR out
whero I wanted to look decently dressed
nnd I spent tho whole mornlnB chnnu-'
Ing first Into white shoes nnd n Hunt
frock when the sun wns out, and then
beforo the frock was buttoned on, the
rnln would pour down nfrnln and into
dark shoes nud (town Rot I, only to re
move them a half hour Inter when the
sun came out and get Into the sum
mery outfit once more. Then, finally
finish up in the dnrk confection nnd
out in tho street in the sun.
However, there are some places
where the sun is shining a bit. At
Newport it is not bad, only one day of
rnln I hear, and out in Ohio no bad
weather at all. .So they'll get theirs
after a while, and we will pant in the
rays of exceeding hot sun, I doubt not,
ere this summer Is over.
T SAW Izora Hunter Davis in the mid ---
die of one of the pours of Sunday
looking very well in a flowered pink
voile frock and a pastel green hat
trimmed with wild flowers. She was
waiting under an nwnlng, nnd Doctor
iMvis was with her wearing flannels
and n dark cont. Fortunately, their
car cume for them, nnd tney mnnnged
to elude the young deluge which was
emptying itself from the clouds at that
moment.
rpiIE Joe Wideners will give a dinncr---
dance in Newport on the eighth of
August for Arell, their son. Arell was
in the scrvlee during the war and is
now spending the summer in Newport
with bis parents. Fifi, as I told you,
i not to come out until next jenr, as
she is still only seventeen. The dinner
dunce is to be given for the younger
set, nnd some of the younger married
people will go too. I have not heard
that nny subdebs will be there, unless
Fifi herself is present, and I suppose
t-lie will be. It's hard to have a party
and exclude one's daughter just because
she is n year too young.
WHAT a wonderful time Mrs. Ilussell
Duanc had in Japan ! She and her
daughter went on several months ago
to visit Mrs. Duane's brother and
sister-in-lnw the Hoy Morrises, and
they hnd an audience with the empress
n'everything. And they have come
back to our own country now by way
of San Francisco, I understand. Mrs.
Morris and Sarah and Ted Morris
rnme over with them, but Mrs. Morris
will probably stay out in the West nnd
then return to Japan, while the Dunnes
will come back to Philadelphia traveling
slowly through the West.
QUITE a number of the Y workers
are homeward bound these dnys.
Miss Esther Lloyd, who has been work
ing wonderfully at Brest, is on her way.
She has been overseas for some time
nnd had charge of the hostess house in
Itrest for awhile and of the rest house
in Brittany just outside of Brest. She
was quite ill but, has reepvered and
has been working at Federes where the
army has put up a wonderful hut nnd
the Y is in charge. They have a huge
stage at one emr nnd an inclined floor
and the other cud has the kitchen nnd
counter -where the Y girls bervc the
boys.
I understand there was a costume
party held there last week, and the men
all nppeared in Y. M. 0. A. apronH
and caps, and what the girjs' costumes
were was not stated. It's awfully hard
work, but it must pay to know how
much you are helping to brighten the
soldiers who nro nwniting to return
home.
Elizabeth Williams has been working
in Brest. She is to return home soon,
and Eleanore Bispham has done really
splendid work over there, too. It's
wonderful how many girls from hen
have gone over, and even come back,
and some of us do not even know that
they had gone, yet they hnvc been there
for months; nnd, believo me, tho boys
over there know that they have been
there, and they won't forget it.
YOU never can tell what is going to
happen even when you go to church.
Usually, you think there'll be a hymn
here nnd a prnycr there and a sermon
.here, but the rcgulnr doings at a cer
tain very fnshionablo suburban church
were almost upset by a most unusual
incident last Sunday.
It was about time for the sermon,
and suddenly there was much whisper
ing and shuffling about near the pulpit;
and then one usher appeared from tho
bottom of the church and another from
the top of the church, and little "chc,
die, ches" wcro heard and "shoo, shoo,
fchoos." And then every one saw the
eat descend from the pulpit, while the
rector, taking her place, gave out the
text. NANCY WYNNE.

Very Rev. Patrick McHale to
Have Vote in Election of
"Superior General
The Very Rev. Patrick McHale. rec
tor nf St. Vincent de Paul's Catholic
Church, Oermnntown, will sail Satur
day on the Aquitanin to take part in
the election in Paris of a superior gen
eral nf the Congregation of the Mission,
founded by St. Vincent de Paul in Ki.12
Father McHale will be unaccom
panied on his trip across, hut will be
joined later by the two provincial dele
gates chosen by the provincial assembly
June 24 to represent this province. The
two delegates are the Rev. J. A. Hnrt
nett, pastor of St. Catherine's, and
the Rev. William Doctor, professor of
theology ot St. Vincent's Seminary.
A general conference of provincial
superiors and delegates is held every
twelve years nnd nt such emergency
times ns mny be necessary. The Inst
general conference was held in 1014
when Emile Villette was elected su
perior general. Since his dentil in
1010 the office hns been vacant.
Thirty-three provinces all nier the
world will be represented and the con
ference will number nbout one hundred
priests. The meeting is alwnjs held in
P.iris nnd it hns been customary to
elect a Frenchman as superior general.
Father McHale is the provincial su
perior for the eastern province of the
Fnited States, a territory including
the canal zone and dioceses east of Chi
cago. The office is held by appoint
ment from the superior general of the
order nnd is indefinite in length of
time. This is the fourth time thnt
Father McHale has attended the Pnri
conference, his first trip having been
made in 1800.
The election of the superior genera)
will take place at 0." Rue de Sevres
on September 27 The language of
the conference is Latin nnd following
the election of the new head of the
order, there will be a business session
lasting perhaps a month. All delibera
tions on the laws nnd organization of
the order nnd other subjects to be dis
cussed nt the conference will be con
ducted in the conference language.
During the absence of Father Sic
Hale, thA parish duties will be under
taken by the Rev. F. J. Maun, su
perior of St. Vincent's Seminary.

Interpretation of "Issue" to Decide
Big Marshall Field Bequest
Chicago, July 2.'!. The ultimate
ownership of perhaps f,!i, 000,000 of
the estate of Marshall Field, Sr., hangs
on the interpretation by the lourt of one
word in the famous will. If it is con
strued that Mr. Field meant "lawful
issue" when he used the word "issue,"
Captain Marshall Field, 3d, probably I
will inherit most of the share of his
dead brother, Henry Field.
On the other hand, if it is decided
other "issue" is covered, Henry An-
thony Marsh, Henry Field's son born;
out of wedlock, will be entitled to the
late Henry Field's portion of the cs
tnte, with the exception of the dower
rights of his widow, Mrs. Nancy Per
kins Field.
This became known when a long cross
bill was filed by the attorneys of Cap
tain Marshall Field.
An nttempt to forestall the claim of
Mrs. Peggy Marsh for her child and an
effort on the part of Captain Field to
obtain possession of the bulk of the
estate are stated as reasons (or the
filing of the bill. .

CLERGYMEN APPROVE
EXCHANGING PASTORS
Believe Plan Is Fostered by
British and American
Governments
The plan (o exchnngc Protestant min
isters of various faiths between this
country nnd Great Britain, recently put
fnrwnnl. is approved in this city b both
the clergy nnd laymen. No details, how-
ever, have been received here of the ,
Plan and. ns yet, no Philadelphia clergy
men have been selected to visit England,
as far ns is known by those mot pronf
inent in church organizations.
Announcement hns been mnde in Eng
land of the formation of n linked or
gniiizntinii with the approval of the
American nnd English Governments
through which the churches of both
countries may exchange prenchers. Some
of the influential ministers heie seem to
he of the opinion that the plan is
n.illj n government one, nnd not under
ministerial diiection.
Bishop Thomas J. Garland com
mented ns follows:
"It's n fine idea, which follows out.
I think, the policy of the governments
during the war. which resulted in the
sending, of tlip Bishop of Oxford to this
"Hintry. It is, I believe, more of n'
goicrnmentnl than a ministerial nffair,
nnd I hnvc heard no details concerning
it in this city."
George Wharton Pepper said:
"Haven't henid a thing nbout it.
Sounds good, but I wouldn't care to
oniment until I learn some details."
the Rev. Flnjd Tomkins was cqiinllv
unncimninted with the details of the
I'lnn, declaring thnt he knew nothing
except what he had read in the paper.
I lie Rev. William H. Roberts, said:
Of course. I approve of it. I ap
prove of nnj thing thnt will cement the
triendshin of the f o,.f.:.... t

Have heard rumors of this. h.. !,,. i.n.i1
no delinitc details of nnv chnrncter. I
"tn going to England mjself in n short
time, hut it is not in connection with
this. I nm merely going as n representa

The Rev. John Bailie. M. A." cy-

of Nubbemcyer who "had professed
grent love for her " Nubhemeyer, she
says, provided for her support nnd gave
her presents of clothing nnd jewelry,
took her to places of amusement nnd
entertninment and was in every wav
devoted in his attention to her. As a
result they became engaged Inst Sep
tember to be married.
This continued up until last June 27,
according tn Miss Kern, which was the
month in which they were to be mnr
ried, and then "suddenly nnd without
cause or provocation, Nubbenme.ver in
formed her thnt he did not intend to
fulfill his engagement to marry her."
She also sajs that Nubhemeyer has
stopped contributing to her support, or
visiting her and she is left abandoned
by him nnil friendless, without employ
ment or menns of suppoit. in n strange
city, Nubhemeyer having prevented her
from making the acquaintance or re
ceiving the attentions of other young
men.

Officers, a board of managers nml com

and It is expected the first camps will
be established In the north, central nnd
eastern parts of the countrj. The fed
eration hopes to bring the tamps under
the jurisdiction of the L'nlted States
Government.
"Since we have seen the wonderful
benefits of outdoor life and militan
tialning for our boys." nid Mrs. Jar
den today, "we realize that something
of this sort would be of vital import
ance to the women of our cotintrv. It
would make them phvsieallv nt;' train
them in alertness, in discipline nnd give
them some timet in mi outdoor camp.

"Such camps, vve believe, would be
specially beneficial dose to industrial
centers, where ninny women nre em
plojed indnois. It is estimated that
we could open such a camp at a cost
of ?12 a week tn each member at the
beginning, nnd Inter, perhaps., reduce
this to even a smaller minimum. The
trading camp would by no menns be a
none -making scheme, it would have
to be supported bj voluntary subscrip
tions until taken over by the govern
ment.
The militarv training camp for
women is just one of the movements
which the department of health and
h.vgiene will have to consider nt the an
nua! meeting this fall. And most of
the plans are the result of after-war
conditions, an effort on the part of the
women to aid in readjustment. They
are hoping to carry further all the de
velopments mnde in occupational ther
apy during tlie war. They hope to in
fluence public opinion so the next Leg
islature will provide in some way for
the extension nnd development of occu
pational therapj.

PEERS LIMIT SUFFRAGE
British House of Lords Passes Bill
on Second Reading
London. Jul 2:',. (Bv A P i The
bill entitling women to hold public
offices and exercise public functions,
which passed second rending in the
House of Lords yesterdnv . is one in
troduced by the government ns a substi
tute for the hill ot William (!. Adam
son in the House of Commons on be
hnlf of the labor party. The Adnmsnn
bill gave women the franchise on the
same terms ns men, but only nt the
age of thirty.
The government bill does not change
the women's franchise nnd does not re
move the disqualification excluding
women from the higher i links nf civil
service, it contains a clause entitling
peeresses in their own right to sit in j
the House of Lords, but this clause i
will probably be rejerted. i
Viscount Br.vcc und the .Marquis of
Crewe advocated waiting until the pro
posed rcconstitution of the House of
Lords had been effected before admit
ting peeresses. The lord chancellor ex
plained thnt the government did not
desire a change in women's franchise
because it would entail atiother general
election and, further, because a com
mittee wns being appointed to stud the
question of legislative devolution.
The Adamson bill will come before
the House of Lords shortly nnd will
probably be rejected, thus relieving the
government from au embarrasslug situ

Another question tho health nnd hy
giene department will consider is the
Illegal adulteration nnd use of "fake"

tions. Committees will keep in touch
with the manufacture and pale of such
articles this summer nnd report nt the
meeting In October. Members of the

plaints from prominent citizens and
physicians.
To Deal With nig Problems
The bousing nnd transportation
problems thnt nre agitating people all
over the lountrj, nnd which nre espc
'iall.v acute in Pennsylvania, will be
1111 important tonic for cntmirlernflnn
j Comniunit.v recreation nnd Americani
zation will be discussed. Social hygiene
is nnother subject in which the depart
ment is vitally interested.
Baby -saving, nn old problem, will
conic up ngnin with renewed interest.
Mrs. Jniden nnd her county committee
women are working hard to prove that
bnbj -saving is a municipal responsi
bility, nnd that free clinic should bo
open all the time for both rich and
poor.
"Public health nursing will receive
much attention from this department
this year." said Mrs. Jnrden. "The
influenza epidemic proved to us so con
clusively the need for competent nurses:
in greater numbers, that we shall make
every effort to better conditions. We
hope to establish through the federation,
scholarships- which will enable graduate
nurses, who cannot afford to spend
further time nnd money on training, to
have at least one jenr in special train
ing in social diseases. Public health
nurses nre needed everywhere. They
keep in touch with the center of dis
eases : they arc trained social workers,
ready to meet all emergencies. And
vve hope to increase the number of these
experts in our community, in the inter
est of public health."
The nnnunl meeting of the Pennsyl
vania Federation of Women's Clubs wilt
be held in Rcrnnton the second week ot
October. As the meeting was called off
Inst year on account of the influenza,
this jenr's event is expected tfl be of
unusual importance and interest. . De
partment conferences will be held, in
the dnys preceding the general federa
tion meeting.
