Wvw-wy!!ffiw-W1 piw1" imi WpP " ywi X . f- a EVENING PUBLIC LEDaER-PHIIiADELTHlX FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1919 fca. i mm Vr f" E JUS71 GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE Nancy Wynne TalJcs of the Newport Horse Shoiv She Hears That Miss Clark Is Returning From Overseas WELL, every one who could manage to do bo has gone to Newport this week for the Horse Show which opened yesterday. Now the Ilorso Show In Newport la certainly a sight worth seeing, whether one goes to sro the horses, the riders, the judges or the women's clothes. I know I have nearly lost an eye there myself trying to decide which of tho attractions to watch. For, be Heve mc, they aro many 1 And It's such' a 'tiny oval and the classes are so big, some of them, that It takes a lone time to show them all. And then the boxes and the women In wonderful gowns and huge hats and soft lacy veils. Mrs. Bob Cassatt li one of those who usually affects a white lace veil and It's awfully becoming to her, I think. Minnie Fell Cassatt is one of the daintiest of women and dresses with a great deal of taste. An other lovely Philadelphia woman who wenr n white Uee veil on dressy occa sions is Mrs. nob Montgomery, but Mrs. Montgomery is not at Newport now. Hhc went up earlier in the season to stay with tho Paul Dcnckla Mlllsc, and is back at her home in Villanovn. Mrs. Joe Wldencr usually wears a laco veil, too. Sho was at the show yes terday and Flfl was with her. Fifl is not so petite and" exquisite as her mother, but she is mighty attractive in her own way. It's good that there are very few doubles of any of us In the world. If there were It would grow terribly mo notonous, don't you think? "Mrs. William D sston went up io Newport this week to be with Pauline, Wanamaker Who has had an attack of i appendicitis, so I suppose neither of them will go to tho snow unless rnuune is much better. Mrs. Disston has been a Horso Show spectator ln Newport for several seasons, however, nnd perhaps she'll get there, as the latest bulletins of Pauline arc that she N much better. I HEARD yesterday that Frances Clark, who has been over in London at tho Eagle Hut under the auspices of the '" has left for home, and, In fact, is at present on the ocean. Every day or so wc hear of the return of one or another of the girls who have been overseas since the armistice, working with tho boys in Franco or England. Frances Clark went over at the samo time as Itachcl Baker, who Is home once more, Betty Elliot and Agnes Irwin. Betty and Agnes arc still In Brest, from the latest word I know of them, but I suppose they will be coming any day now. Frances Clark is the daughter of Sir. and Mrs. Charles Davis Clark, of this rity. She is a sister of Bertha Clark and Charles F. Clark Is a brother. They live at 221C Spruce street In the winter and ln summer arc in Bryn Mawr. DO TOU know I can scarcely realize that in three days wcwill be going into tho first fall month and that every ono will bo coming home in a week or two or perhaps three. At any rate, before the Bryn Mawr Horse Show, which will be held tho second week in October, every one will be back with winter war paint on ready for the fray. The first party of any size will be that given by the Benjamin Rushes for their son, Richard Stockton Rush. It will not be very large, but there will be about 100 guests, nil of them from the school set. But the coming-out parties, with the exception of n few teas, won't start till October, at any rate. EVERYBODY loves a iover, and tho .girl in the telegraph office was therefore much interested, as will be seen by tho story I have to tell. I can't tell you who tjie principals were ln the tale because that would be saying too much, but I can say that they are very happily married now nnd were married before he went overseas. But then no one knew how ho did his court-in.- Tinr hnw it was they decided so quickly to be married before he left. It was this way. We'll call the girl Polly. Well, Polly's mother was at home one morning at her country house, when the telephone rang violently nnd she went to It to hear that there was a telegram for Polly. As Polly was out jihe told the operator to dictate It to her. It was: "Sail for France Saturday. Will you marry me before I go? An swer prepaid. Jack." Mother knew what Polly would say, sha thought, for Polly had looked rather large eyed and thoughtful for a number of days of late, nnd Mother being a wise mother and one who had fallen ln love with Polly's father in the days of the Spanish War, smiled to herself, but to the operator ohe remarked : "My daugh ter Is not at home now, but she will h hack about noon. I think I'll havo 1 t"o let her answer for herself." "Oh, I ". gold tho voice, in a disappointed tone. "Can t you let him know rigni away i Mother laughed. "Just as soon as she f comes ln, she'll answer." "Well, cr Mrs. cr cr Mrs. D would you ask her to ask for No. 03 when she sends her answer?" And when daughter came in she must have said "yes," because they were married three days before he sailed. And yes, sho did call for 03 and give her the answer to send. NANCY WYNNE.

What Bryant Suit Means To tht RdUor o ho F. -iln7 l'ublle l.tdatr: Sir I desire to cnll jour atention to an Incorrect report of the proceedings brought by William Bryant against the Tenants' Protective Association con tained In your Issue of August 2.1, HUD. This Is n suit to enforce the per formance of an agreement made by the representatives of the nssociotion nnd which they declined to carry out, by the terms of which the tenants should paj the old rent up to August 1. 11)19, whereupon new lenses would be given them for a period of eight months from that date, or a period of one yenr from the time the dispute nrose. The in crease of rent from August 1, lOlil, was from $15 to $18 on the smaller houses and from $20 to $25 on the larger ones, nod no one fumillnr with the situation can dispute the fact that this Incrense Is a reasonable one under the present incrense of tnxes nnd costs of repairs ; nor can any one point to nny houses of n similar kind In thnt neighborhood or in the city at large, leased for less than Brant's houses at the Increased rental. Out of 2.VT ten ants in this operation only about sevent -five made nny protest. All the others hnvo been pajlng the increased rent nml concede that it is reasonable. A test case was made on two of the tenants, nnd the Court of Common !!... Vn .1 ntltH. 41in tuktn" nf tnstl- . iun .-.. ., ...i. . .... n -- monv and hearing the cases on the merits, decided both cases In favor of Ilrynnt. Appeals were taken from these decisions nnd a motion to quash them wns made on the ground thnt the lenses waived the right of appeal. One of the nppeals was dismissed, nnd the other held onen until the fall term of court, so that the testimony could be cxnmlned to determine whether the lease had been abrogated. I inclose n copy of the bill in equity, which will show jou thnt nfter ncrceing to settle nn the terms nbovo indicated, by paying the old rent to August 1. 1010, nnd the delivery of new lenses for a period of eight months, the repre sentatives of tho association declined to carry out the arrangement, nnd made the unrensonnble demands contnincd in tho Inclosed letter from Richard T. Mc Sorley. ' As Mr. Bryant has been very un fairly criticized in this matter, I wish sou would give this information the same publicity as jou have used in the publication of the article or which l complain. Very truly yours, G. VON PHLTj JONES. An Appreciation To tht Ztlltor of lh Evnilno rnbMo I.tdatr: Sir AVo have read with interest your article regarding the activities of the Drexel Institute. Wc appreciate ery much jour co operation in tills nnd wish to thank jou for the interest indicated. We feel that jou have gotten the spirit of this movement, which is designed primarily to meet the rapidly changing conditions of education ns applied to industry. Very truly yours, W. T. SPIVEY, Director Evening School. "Rise" Rises Again To the Editor of tht Kvcninp Z'ublfo l.tdotl Sir It seeniH to .me that the argu ment relative to the use of the woids "rise" nnd "rnise" ns applied to an increase of compensation is u matter of tweedledum and tweedledce, nc cording to Dr. W. L. Sacrey, if the in coming tide causes the boat to rKc then it gets a "rise" if the boat is raised bj the incoming tide then it gets n "mise." It is simply a verb used us n noun of which there are ery many exam ples. The expression "getting n rnNc" Is merely colloquial and should be judged from thnt stiiiidpoiut. The more one searches the intricacies of the Eng lish language the more "queer" thiugs ono will find. K. II. ATKINSON. Backs Moore as a Worker To the Editor at the filming Public I.cdorr Ulr During the strenuous fortj or more years of agitation for prohibition, I have not publicly ndvocated any Re publican or Democrat for office, but to day, I feel impelled to say thnt, having been ln the deeper wuterway work since 11)01, I have had opportunity to know and cheerfully bear (estiuioiiy to the efficient service rendered by J. Hampton Moore for the interest of tho public along the Atlantic seaboard, and I honestly believe that he bus done morn thnn any man in his party for the commercial welfare of the people of the Atlantic which, u neems 10 me mat everything thut he goes Into he docs so with n opirit of determination to con- i iuer all obstacles, nnd when he Bets, out to abolish nbuses he will be thorough in his work. n. AV. GAIWIUUKS, Camden, N. J.. Aug. 25. Private Ownership of Land To the Editor of the Evenina PubHa Ledger SirWhile It is hardly posHible that an of tho 25,000 members of tho Tcn nnts' I.engue will need, for the purpone of n home, no law or expensive n plot of ground as that recently sold for $500, 000, located nt Nineteenth and Wnlnltt uticetH, the fact remains that the same cystcm which compels the payment of so heavy a tribute in this case, will oper ate against them in the acquisition of1 their more modest dwelling. Vina liiemliiiiil (VinllunrtH rlnllssen ah $23,000 a year in tribute is demanded i ItifnrA n snnrlflfill nf rnrth la turnpil l,i ! erecting n place which will house possi bly (500 or 000 people. Eight hundred, dollars or $40 per year will be demauded before a spadeful of earth is turned In erteting n place which will house pos sibly five or six people. If the system which allows this pri vate collection of publicly crented value land rent furnished anything ot a tangible nature to the production of dwellings I would have no fault to find with tho attitude of many membera of the Tenants' Protective League rcgan-J. ink a remedy for tho conditions against which they are strusjllnsr. ,, XhtM members Mem to bt waitlax la glorious expectancy the promises thnt will soon be Hooding the atmosphere, from the tongues of tho candidates of the old political parties. The tenant will be told that- lie Is a splendid fellow, that he is n pillar of strength in our fice nnd independent American life, but lie has been shamefully abused by that vile, grasping monster, tho profiteering landlord. The old -party candidate, between his maledictions on the head of the prolit- ei ring landlord, will introduce various pluiiH nnd lnys which, he will tell the tciiunt, will draw the teeth and clip the cliius of the aforesaid monster, but I venture to say thnt not one of them will as much as mention the ono only plan or method which will not only draw nnd clip, but will absolutely de etrnj tho monster by destroying thnt on v. hieh he lives private ownership of land. If the tennnt finds, after n careful perusal nf the long list of political par ties which will appear on the left-hand column of his lmllot sheet, he cannot find one which is pledged to the annihilation of privnte ownership of land by tnking the rent of land for public purposes nnd for the relief of the tennnt, then his case it hopeless nnd the sooner he makes tcims with the landlord the better it will be.
