7ST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Naitcy Wynne Talks of the Coming Debutante Dates.
Miss Josephine Widener Guest of Honor at a
Dinner-Dance in Neivport
"ITrOt'LD jou believe that there wilh
bo only one more "week of August.
j. ltlin, and that tti'th September will
jj nnnctfio homeward rush and by the end
! of the month the tens will be starting.
and then by October there'll be one al
most every afternoon, and two or three
in nn afternoon on some occasions and
'altogether we'll bo so gay we won't
Jaiow what to do with ourselves?
'Vplin first teas will be in Chestnut Hill
J- if the plans have not been chanced.
SInry Goodman is to make her debut
on September STitytf there. Then Mar
ion Balrtl will be introduced on Sep
tember 30 nt her parents' home on
Navahoc avenue in Clrtstriut Hill also.
The next day we will trip out to the
Main Line to meet Emily Clothier, who
will be given a tea by her parents on
October 1 nt Clalremont in Villanovn.
Mr. Howard Hitter has chosen October
2 to introduce his daughter, Kathleen,
out nt their home in Ardmore, while the
Henry Brinton Coxes will give a tea
for Catherine on October 3 out in
I'enllyn.
Three teas are scheduled for October
4. One will be given for Edith Nctvlin,
daughter of Mr. nnd Mrs. Richard
Nctvlin, of Whitford, by her coiiRin,
Stfs. William A. Liebcr in Bryn Mawr.
Mr. nnd Mr. Edgar Earle will intro
duce Margaret Earle that nftcrnoon, and
the Ashton Littles ' will present their
daughter Mary out nt their home in
Strafford the .same day.
THOSE few dates ought to IoW as for a
a while, don't you think? And "that's
t fl, Imlf nt t." tt'K EDUUt Oft, nnil
on, nil through October, November nndl
most of December. -Son one, suggest
to me the other day thnt it knight, be
nn idea to hire the bojl park' one Of two
afternoons, or home pilch large space and
lmvc various sections marked off for each
.loK ami tlipn hold the teas on one, two
or three dnjs. as many ns the number.
of debuts might necessitate nnu im-u u.
would all be over in less than a week. '
Not bad. that, is it? Hut where on
.nrtli tvonl.l wc be able to find nn audU
1'ortiw large enough r introduce nil th
debs of the j ear 101!M920in rhilndel-
phia in one, two, three, or .wen ioui
days nil going at oW? As I said before,
it's going to be something fierce.
FIFI WIDENER was given n lovely
pnrty last night by her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Widener.. Hie reason why
being thnt Fifi was. seventeen years old
and the event was celebrated thliswise in
Newport. There was quite a large din
ner nnd the guests were all members of
the "uot-jct-nut" set. There was
dancing In' the evening. Fifi will make
her debut the jear after next, when she
will be eighteen.
I AM sure that you join me in sympa
thizing with Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
"Burgess nnd John Sanger on the sad
and dreadful death by automobile acci
dent of Mrs. Sanger out In Colorado
last Sunday. She had been married only
'two months, J on know, and was in fact
still on her wedding trip when she was
killed. ,
Mrs. Banger was Dorothy Burgess,
.ofiCwmantmyu, a. luster of Mrs. Wil
kinson, who wns Miss Jane Burgess.
Funeral services were held yesterday at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Burgess.
D ID yo-i know that Irwin Fiero had
received another citation, signed by
General Petain himself? You know he
was awarded the Croix de Guerre with
one star, if I have it straight, or is it
palm? This entitles him to another
star or pnlin, whichever it is, on the
cross. He went overseas With an am
bulance section, nnd ns you may well
imagine, did splendid service.
His mother is Mrs. Susette Fiero, you
know, and his sister, Bnbs, who is really
Marv, lived all the way up to her
brother's record with her work in the
Rod Cross, nnd was commended for her
service. Bnbs is an awfully attractive
girl nnd is one of those capable people
who can do just about anything from
mnuagiug a dance to cooking a menl.
The Fieros are spending the summer
ns usual at their country place at New
town Square.
SHE'S going to make her debut in the
fall,, ami if I told you her name
vou would probably die of joy, but never
feiu, I'm not.going to tell you her name.
She has been awfully busy, of course,
for a number of years, in. V liool d
out. so she's quite well trained for tho
h that seems, lively overtake her
next winter. In fact, slf been so busy
. for several years that she has had nb
' solutely no time to keep a diary, but
' she has always wanted some record of
... .,. vrr vear she has asked
J' Santn Claus foy one of those calendars
- ,., .nnmi tnr memoranda.
witli tne whip Bnv -------
and-she keeps a rather abrupt but very
' satisfactory report of events and hap
penings. , ., ,,
You may possibly remember April 0,
1017 . as Good Friday, nnd the day on
vhich these United States declared war
against Oermauy. But this biisy 1 ttle
'sub -deb has 'something else against that
'momentous" .lay. If you should look over
' e shoulder at that calendar-diary
when she turns' to April 0, 1017, you
Mvottld see clean white page, and in
' neatlng writing at the top you would
.read '.'Washed my hair.

WOMEN'S CLUBS IN POLITICS,

Federation Will Wage Fight for Better City and State Govern

Women's clubs in Philadelphia, in

Legislature passed favorably on both a
state1 and a federal suffrage amendment.
Clubs will not become partisan, although
their ipterost in political questions be

various movements. They will approve
the planks of several platforms rnther
thnn support a party, nnd their greatest
energy will be directed to the move
ments that concern women, children tand
the home.

Raises Cain Over "Rise"
To the Ktlitor Kvenlno PuMic Ledvtr:
Sir Having been u proofreader for
fourteen sears, I rise in defense of the
use of the word "rise" in the phrase,
"the workers demanded a rise in
wages," In in experience most head
line scribes use "raise" in this in
stance, while the proofreader is to be
credited, not abused, for milking th
chnngo to "lise."
In tho above example "rise" is a

ns "increase; advance; augmentation,
ns of price, tnlue. rank, property, fame,
nnd the like; ns the rise in stocks," or
wages.
Fletcher Du Bois says "wages do not
'rise' of their own ncoord." Neither j
does the wind, or tide, or sun. His
comparisons nre inept, for. while he
sn.ts "the wind raises n dust," nn nrmv
comiunnder would hope for n "rise" of
dust lo screen nn advance. Of course,
the incoming tide docs not "lise" a
boat, but it onuses n rise of the boat.
An emplo0 asks his employer to raise
his wages, nnd what he gets (or does
not get. perhaps) is n "rise" (incrense,
advance, augmentation) in tvnges.
While wo do not usually go out in
the morning to see the sun "raise," wc
mny arise nt the "rise" of the sun.
Yes, nnd poetically wo may say "the
sun 'laises' its burning orb." etc.,
which also is (orrect. I tiust the argu
ment raised over the word "rise" has
been sufficiently raised to prevent its
subsequent rise.

Torture and Public Ownership
To (lie rditor L'l'riil'io Public l.nlatr-
Sir Inconvenience to a certain ex

bodv functioning, contains its duo slinre
of 'it. We instinctively herald it ns
unavoidable.

Then came got eminent control. At
first no pnrt of the sstHn was af

tho disruption of things. The old em

trains, and many of thm had left for
better pay in the shipyards. Drinking
water was not nlwas obtainable nnd
other, conveniences were lacking.
Sundays in summer time find thou

dirty window, whith opens only after
fifteen minutes of tugging. When once

gasoline and odoriferous oils ascends
the nostrils, and the unhappy passen
