iirtr7ri7r'Nii4r' EVENING PtTBLIO LEDGER PHTnADEEPHIA', WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBEE 10, 1919 13 JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE Nancy Wynne Talks of Many Happenings in Social World She Tells of Lieutenant Millers Ex periences in the War T TOLD you about n month ago, I think, that the Sunders twins wore fxpreted back from Fram-c Well, they came at that time and have been staying with their grandmother, Mrs. Clarke Merchant, down in Atlantic City. Anita Evans, who Is their first routln and a granddaughter of Mn, Merchant's, too, has been with her grandmother and last vteek-end, Anita and the Twlnnlo motored from Atlantic City to Cape May and stayed there with Dr. and Mrs. l.nmlis. Anita is the daughter of the Powell Evans and Is to make her debut this season. The Evans lire in Devon in the summec and last winter spent their time at th Louga.cre in town. Anita it ex tremely attractive and several dances and dinners have already been planned for her eniertainment. , To.go back to tho Jwinnies. thej are joins to WMto Sulphur about ttie middle of the month and then will come back to Philadelphia. CJPBAKING of the Sanders' and Anita J Evans being In Capo May, rtminds me the McClure Kahnestocks are down there too and are visiting Edith's par ents at their Beach avenue house. You remember Edith Smith and McClure Fahnestock were married early in June, verv shortlv nfter his return from over seas. They are living in Pittsburgh, so of course, do not tee the families here very often. And as the Smiths have always been a very united family I nm sure tbey are delighted to have their visit from Uie newlyweds. ALBEItT COOK MYEHS was at his hike again Sunday, starting the men from the Central Y as usual, nnd end ing there in the pool. And believe me It must have been fine to have that pool to get into after walking 'in last Sunday's heat. After the swim in the Y pool, thq men went to the Benedict Club, conducted by the Catholic War Council at 1010 Market street, for supper and an entertainment. YOU remember the other day 1 was talking nbout Phllippus Miller, Jr., and that he had been moed to Hall way from Cnmp Dix hospital. I hail been told at the time that he had been gassed, but my informant. I find, made a mistnke in that part of his account of the hnppenings. Lieutenant Miller was not gassed at nnj time while in action in France. He viib wounded on October 1 of last year in the dric In the Argonnc forest which, j.ou re member, commenced September 2."i. It was while he was leading his men at 8 o'clock on the morning of the first, and while under machine-gun and artillery fire that n high explosive shell struck ueur him, wounding nnd killing most of the men around him. Pieces of the shell entered his upper right arm, and shattered the bone. A portion of it went into his leg. This, however, was removed successfully shortly nfter that and his leg is as i sound'us ever. His urm, however, is still helplc-s and as I said the other day, he has spent his time in the hospitals in Frauee nnd in tills country ever .since the nixtli of October, 1!)lk. He received u citntion by the wnj from his acting captain during the en gagement in which ho was wounded, praising his courage nnd efficiency under fire. But it seems to me the bravest part of it all is the patience he shows now, still suffering after all these mouths. TSN'T it exciting all the people of are coming here? prominence who General Pershing this week and Car dinal Mercier, that great noble out standing figure of the war, and lastly Edward Albert, otherwise i known as the Prince of Wales. I do hope those who entertain any one of these august personages won't have the experience of a well-known man whom you know and I know, who entertained a very well-known English writer here a year or so ago. He had a beautiful country J)lacc and any number of maids, but he did not have "a man," for the simple reason that he did not wnnt one. Well, this night, after the guc-t ar rived, he happened to stay up later than the rest of the family, and as he was going upstairs, to his horror and amaze, ho discovered the eminent writer's shoes sitting neatly outside of bis door, politely waiting to be brushed and cleaned, as is the way In all Eng lish houses and a few American ones. Well, he went on to his own room, and, then ho thought and thought. Such was his terror of those who contributed to the domestic felicity of the house hold, that he did not even consult his wife as to whether she thought Mary or Jane would do it, but he tiptoed back 'to the door, whipped up the boots, 'rushed into his wife's room and de manded polish, which he Industriously applied to said boots, and before he finally retired one of the best-looking pair of neatly polished bogts you ever saw rested neatly on the floor outside the eminent personage's door.

There nre no exciting but many charming moments In it. John Taintor Foote. has not written this piece with nnj aim of elevating the stage or chastening morals with a smile, though he has plenty of smiles nnd n few hearty laughs in his comedy scenes. His loftiest aspiration has been to write it play that would enter tain without shocking. It can be done. Ho has done it. lie has not wandered far afield in search of new Southland types. The familiar and easily identi fiable figures of the "OP Mis', " rapt in fnmily pride nnd instinct with ante bellum courtly graces; the irascible Confederate colonel, the drawling, pep pery scion of the new South, nnd the bewitching daughter of Dixie servo to people his second and third acts with "quality folks" whose reactions, even though they can be predicted in ad vance, have not yet lost the power of interesting uud even of charming, when as well dono ss in this play.

The Uncle Toby of George Slarion, for many yews known mainly as a stage director, but In his early days a character actor of distinction, proved a genuine creation, ovcrstressing, per haps, some of tho drollery of the char acter, but never overacting the sim ple emotional moments of devoted fealty to the Vardemans.

Y sliar- mg "SI. SI. SI s " unpopularity in the discussion of the questions of love, heroism nnd duty presented in the case of William Tanner, of Hubbards Woods. III. Like "M. M. SI ,-' they expressed tho opiniou that Mr. Tau- tluee little children unprotected in the world, even though he stood nt the side of his wife as a train rushed down upon them, after ho found that he could not snve her from death. Those who condemn "Critic " "A. V Y " and "SI. SI. SI." for their opinion of what is a man's duty, insist in letters to the EvnM.sn Pt'HMO LEtxiFtt that Tanner's conduct was heroic and should inspire, ndmiratiou nnd praise nnd not blnme. Some of the letters received follow : To tht Editor o tin EinKnir Public l.tdorr Sir I would just like to nnswer the man or woman that signed him or herself "Critic." Now Critic, could you see your mother or father with his or her foot caught in the railroad track and, knowing that ho or she was going to be killed, could you stand nnd do ' nothlug'J I don't blame Sir Tanner n bit. Although it is true lie ought I to hove thought of his children, who would think of any thing nt a time like that? R13ADEH. Danville, Pn. To the h ditor of hi rnnttr rubltc I.tdor Sir With jnur kind permission I wish to sav u few words to Critic. I certainly pity you. Critic, if vnn are always finding fault with v hat people do because jou will never have nnv friends. It is easy enough to write what you said as nobody knows who you nre; but I nm willing to wnger you wouldn't say it to any fair-minded person. To think that anybody would be so heartless ns to criticize so brave an act bevond , aItogtther Again, for your own sake, I hope you cl(ulge your views a rnr lews. CRITIC OF CRITIC. To the Editor ot Ei ruing Publio ledger: Sir I would like to answer the letter A. V. Y. had in your paper in regard to the ueroic act of Sir. illinm Tanner. I really think he (A. V. Y.) lacks sound sense, because we all could think of many things to do nfter the art is done. We all know that such n sudden shock is liable to cause the best of us to lose our minds. No doubt A. V. Y. is one of those men that loves his wife dearly while in her presence, but loves some one else's wifo when he is out. Sly idea Is thut Sir. Tanner could not sec his wifo die and he not help her. He could not bear to jump and be called a coward as A. V. Y. would say right away. I think Sir. Tanner showed a good spirit, one that is very scarce today. t. E. L. To the Editor ot Evening PuMic Ledger: Sir Regarding William Tanner. "G. r. ' seems to give the most reasonable opinion I have seen. I'll bet that yap who says William Tanner was n coward wears a 12', J collar and sells remnants In the center aisle when he isn't polish ing his finger nails. It's usually that way. Some sny h was a fool, another that ho lacked courage. Granted that his act was one of follv (on account of the children), who, if he thinks a moment, can sny ha lacked courage? Put yourself in his place. TIip one most dear to you is in Sirs. Tanner's predicament and you are frantically trying to release her. A ponderous mass of steel is roar ing straight at you, fairly breathing destruction, would you say, "I'll stay with you, Slary." On your life, you would not' And neither would 09 per cent of the ordinary mortals. You would stay nnd help until the last moment and then instinctively jump to safety. You wouldn't think of what you were going to do. You would do it. Self-preser- SAM S. Hroad SHUBERT THEATRE Below Locust FIRST TIME IN PHILA.

In my estima tion it required courage of the first water to stay on the job. No one can deny the act was foolish, but it was. n noble impulse, nnd, as "G. T " says, 'The children of such a man will never be left to suffer want in this world," CAVENDER. To th Editor of Eventng PubUo Ltiorr Sir: In reference to William Tan ner, who was killed with his wife. I would have done the self same. In,"S' "nu "" omnr man would nave none it, it lie reany lovcu uis wne ns Tanner did. A. HAWS, 1232 South Second street, Camden. To th Editor of Evening FubHc l,rdoer Sir: We me veiy interested in the letter of "Clitic," which appeared in the i:vi;nino Pi'nr.ic LFDQEn, Thurs day, September 4, 1010. Our opinion of this man is just the opposite of "Critic's Wo think this He must have man did perfectly right loved nnd valued his wife ns a right kind or u husband should. He was a true husband uud the- kind we think everv woman would like to have. "Critic" says he did wrong to leave th.' children and die with his wife. His wife must hnve been worth his life. Perhaps when he saw the danger of his wife he forgot the children We hope there nre others who have the sr.mi opinion. A HAPPY FAMILT. To th Editor of Eiensna PubUo Ledger Sir In regard to the Tanner case so many have so many comments against )his art- Do they stop to think what they would do in a case like that? Not many men would care or dare to die as Sir. Tanner did. Slanv men nre nfratd of death and especially when they know it is upon them. Of course, it was over in an instant. But are there many that would have dono ns ho did? I hardly think so. There were the babies, ot course. It docs seem pitiful. But let them ask themselves, Whut would I have done? Most men would have turned their heads and let her die alone. God will provide a way for those babies. Seems He always has looked out for such. It does eem hard. I think one's life is all laid out be fore thcin. It was his way to die. was it not? Slany will not agree. But that is the way, I think. Something would have restrained him had his time not come. No one knows what they would do In. n ense like that with only a moment to decide. I am sure if tbey will only stop and think they will agree. L. SI. P., Camden. Camden, N. J., September 5, 1010.
