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.

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 company of Greenwich Villagers of
tho first net, with their careers and
their light pursuit of rlcasurc, furnish
a contrast all in fnvor of tho straight-
laced cauons of Fairfax county. From
their midst a soul -sick and somewhat
run-to-seed novelist whose current no
complishment is far below his earllerU.

though proud "Id' Mis' docs not!
know this, or indeed the straits to
which the family has been reduced.
Sliss Eugenic, her granddaughter, aiijed
and abetted by the faithful and re
sourceful Tonj, tries to keep the do
mestic finances running. She hope3 to
mtkc a fortune by writing fiction. And
thus proteed the adjustment)) that make
J tho love interest of the plot possible.
Author who lias harvested literary
success and found It flavored with
Dead Sea fruit; author aiming to break
into the literary game. They collabo
rate on n book ; that is to say, he re
writes in modern and realistic idiom
her hopelessly nnd old -fashionably ro
mantic novel. He wins back his art
nnd his soul besides a southern bride
and the right to Uncle Toby's "bow,"
nn especially courtly obeisance reserved
only for the "quality."
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. David Landau was
brisk and effective as tho novelist and
Alice Augarde Butler wns every inch
the Dixie "grande dame" as the mis
tress of the manor. The other mem
bers of the company were well selected
and excellently within the composition
of tho picture.
Paris Stage Strike Settled
Paris, Sept. 10. A compromise was
reached yesterday in the dispute be
tween the theatrical mnnagers and the
actors, which has resulted in tho clos
ing of the greater portion of the amuse
ment places in Paris. It was announced
that the theatres, music halls and moving-picture
houses would reopen at
once.

TANNER'S DEATH WITH WIFE
DESCRIBED ASHERO'S ACT
Decision Readied by Man to Die When He Found lie Could
Tof Save Her Upheld in Letters to Evening Public Ledger
"Critic" and
"A V. 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?

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-

it works out nearly every time. Wil
Ham Tanner's net proves ho was on
man out of n hundred. 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

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.
