Nancy Wynne Talks of Several Debutantes She
Hears of the Annual Country Fair for
Convalescent House
IVTAB so frlad to henr yesterday thnt
Slnrcarettn .Tonne U KolnR to join
In with the dolmtnnte nffnlrs. She In
nineteen, you know, nnd would have
come out two years uro, but on account
of the wnr would not even have a smnll
party. She devoted most of her time
to belntc a motor messenger nnd did
perfectly splendid work In that capacity.
Mnrgaretta Ik the elder dniiKlitcr of
Mrs. Henry S. Jcnnes, of Devon. In
the winter they live nt 2012 Spruce
street. Mrs. Jcnnes is n sister of Mrs.
Reed Morgan and of Mr. KcIkox Wright
Ualrd. Mnrgarctta's first cousin,
Marion Rnird, is to be n debutante thN
year also. Margarctta will not have a
tea, but her debut will bo made nt n
dinner-drtnee at the Hellevuc-Stratford
on the 7th of January.
Mary Glcndlnnlng', who is one of
Mnrgarctta's very intimate friends, is
nlso coming out this year with Ellen,
nnd it makes It so nice for these
girls to be going to the same parties
all the time. Mary would havo come
out during the war, too, had there
been any coming out, jou know.
THE debutantes will be all ages this
year; from seventeen to twenty, as
far as I can see. That in, under
twenty, and over seventeen. Mary
Goodman, Mrs. Howard Senver's eld
est daughter, who is to como out, Is
only seventeen, nnd Ellen Glen
dinning is not yet eighteen, nnd llhoda
llrooke, Mrs. Trenchard Nowbold's
daughter, is only seventeen. Ithoda
Urooke, by the way, is to be intro
duced on October it, nnd the two Wurts
girls, Marion and ltosnmond, will make
their debut with her.
I SAW Mrs. Tom Dolnn in town yes
terday wearing n stunning frock of
dnrk blue pussywillow tnffetu. The
panel down the front of the skirt was
barred In tail -colored stripes nnd was
brought up on to the bodice nlso. The
collnr nnd cuffs of the frock were of
white orgnudle, edged with lace. Her
hat was it broad-brimmed, drooping
affair of oyster white straw, the crown
being surrounded by n ilnt ostrich
feather bnnd of the same shade.
A loose, wide -meshed veil fell from
the brim of the hat.
DID jou know that the women inter
ested in St. Francis House for
Convalescents have started up their
preparations for their nnnunl mnrket
days the first week in October? As a
matter of fact they have chosen Oc
tober 3 nnd 4, nnd they are really
making it more thnn n market day.
It is to be a regular honest-to-gooduess
country fair, with live stock nnd cats
and fancy things and gjpsies 'nevcry
thin You know they bought the- Cook
place in Lansdowno which joined the
home before, and so now they have
twenty-five acres of grounds nnd two
houses. Last winter the ne house
was used by the convalescent soldiers
and sailors entirely. The house is for
convalescent patients who have been
dismissed from hospitals but are not
really fit to go back to their regular
life of pretty hard work.
They are given two weeks of rest at
the house, which is at Fourteenth street
nnd Lansdowno nvenue, Darby, and the
whole thing is run by individual dona
tions and proceeds from various affairs
such as the annual market and an
nnnual cntertninment by the. Junior
Aids of the nuxiliury of women, who
keep things going.
The lnte Mrs. Albert Hoffman and
her sister, Frances Sullivan, were
among the pioneers of the home. The
present officers of the nmlTiary Include
Mrs. It. M. Quennell. Mrs. Nash Uuike,
Mrs, Francis Patterson, Mrs. James
A. Mundy. Mrs. William Doyle und
Mrs. Joseph Israel. Altogether it's
going to be Aery fine, .and every one is
interested in it, so 1 suppose you'll
go out. I ccp'oct to, nnd take a chance
. on the gentle brown cow I hear they arc
to have. Though, believe me, where I'd
put that cow, were I to win it, 1 d hate
to tell you.
MAX is n small soul of ten. nnd he
spends most of his time selling
candies on the street nnd in offices. I
was walking up Chestnut street one day
lately when I met n friend who called
mc to join her in her car. As I stepped
In Max was passing by and my friend
said, "How are you. Max?"
And then she turned to me and said :
"I must tell you about Max. He came
Into a Red Cross room where I was one
day a little while ago and wanted jne
to buy some chocolates or something,
and he was rather cute, nnd so T talked
to him and nsked him if he had ever
been in the country. Ho said 'no,' so I
said, 'Well, perhnps some day you
could go out.'
"" 'Oh, he said, 'I couldn't go without
me mother.' That, I thought, wns
touching, so I snld, 'Well, maybe
mother could bo taken,. too.' 'Oh,' he
said, 'she couldn't go without the rest
of us.' 'Rest of ais,' I said, 'How
many are there?' 'Oh.' he smiled, 'I'm
ashamed to tell you.' 'You might as
well out Vlth it, I said, so he smirked
and remarked, 'Thcy's eight besides
me
"Do you wonder my ardor was
dampened? I wns planning to give him
a day in the country and found In order
to do that I would have to give ten
people n daj,"
Something tells me the ten will get it
some day, though

mire him for one solid accomplishment,
for the solu.lon he found for one of
the great personal problems thnt beset
nine-tenths of the ambitious young men
anil women about us
For many ymrs Mr Tinubel held n
minor position in n bank. There he
VMis, cooped up in u 1 uge, forced by
circumstances to earn 11 living by
spending long days humped over 11 soul-

Tse position would.' ve fretted for n
eiir or Ivvn over if 1 uirmw m -
imposed upon him1' d then have sur
rendered to it. N7 ho Tranbel. His
bodv might be in tne cage, but he knew
a thousand ways to free his nimble
nnd active mind. Let us see how he
escaped the bonds of his dally gum
nnd he. nine in time the friend and
valued coi respondent of great and nota
ble men all the world over.
I'ii st nnd foremost, he had native
hrendth nnd diversity of interests. Al-
i wnvs lie insisted on having me o'.
whether it was in nrt. letteis. urmi.u,
poetrv or mu-if. And he got it. It a
world-famous violinist plnjed nt the
Acndeim of Music Trnubel was sure to
i. .hen. Whether he sat in a $ stnll
1 twenty -live cent gnllery seat is
atenal. Trnubel was there. It
sn- Itnnrv Irvine nud aims -h "
in town Trnubel saw them. When a
nWe hook came out Truubel could
tell ton about it ns soon as 'n' 0I,-
l'wnv. his mind was alert. W bethel
he looked, listened or read, his critical
faculty was ever on tiptoe: and his
criticisms were always thoughtful, dis
cerning nnd sympathetic. Moreover,
he was not too shy to speak his mind.
If he enjoved KrcHei's conceit he snt
down nnd wrote to him nbout it. It
there was phrasing in Sir Henry s rend
ing of Shukcspenres line that he could
not understand, he dropped him a note
to ask about it. In the same manlier
he addressed poets, playwrights, re
formers, critics and novelists at home
nnd ..broad. He wns no lion hunter
and he was us free fiom guile ns a
little child. Community of interest
was his i.pproad. to gieut men and he
trod that nvenue like his own front
hall, with a linn and natural stride.
It never occurred to him that Sir
Henrv Irving or Lord Tennyson or the
newest great violinist might not cure
to hear from him. He made friends
as n child does without thought of rank
or fear of rebuff. And there was some
thing about his letters, so simple nnd
friendly nnd nunc that they weie usu
ally answered in kind
Letters led to per-nnnl acquaintance
nnd main a distinguished foreigner on
his wav from New York to Washington
felt thnt he must stop ofT in l'hiludel
phia and run over to Camden to see
Horace Trnubel. And so his circle
grew, becoming each year larger ami
more interesting nnd fuller of new ac
tivities. Traubel's fiu-uliv foi making fiieiiiK
through his own initiative goes nu- m
explain his home 111 Camden and those
Sunday afternoon and evening gather
ings nt which one never met 11 dull per
son or spent 11 dull moment. Perhaps
the first objects one noted upon enter
ing his library were the bioad-briniined
gray hats tlint hung upon the wall.
You guessed that they had been Whit
mail's lints; und you weie 'light. And
the hnversack that hung upon the wnll

season with this production
"Sinbad" is dnssifled ns -'the Winter j
Garden's joyful production." It waiCi,
probably the part of discretion not to ""
label it burlesque, for there were epl-w
grams nnd episodes 111 it that would not 3
be tolerated in burlesque But It ws
nearer the old type of burlesque before ,
It was purified nnd n policeman posted .3

course, the lleshlings and costumes
what there were of them were of silk,
satin nnd velvet instend of tnrletnn and
lisle, nnd the elaborate scenic sets wefe
designed and painted by well-known
nrtlst. nud both scenes nnd costumes
iiiiueriy ing motive anu general lnspira
tlon was the same, with the Important
distinction thnt in
burlesque they are
under restraint nnd suiiervision.
Sophisticated nudiences who favor '
musical shows nre not squeamish, andA
the average person does not balk nt oc
cnsionul introduction of the risque ami
the racy. "Sinbad," in much of Jol-$'v
son's drolleries und ditties, nnd in some
of the eudenvors of the Farber Sisters,,,
seems to go too far. And it is the
first show in a long time that has
staged, even though momentarily, thei
clause de ventre. Aside from these con-IE
tributions, which mny or may not be.-j'
'joyful," the humor was dull. And
thnt means most of the comedy. Clea
comedy which mnkes n hit with the
nudience without nnv nlnv nt the mor
indelicate instincts of humanity is per-3s(
fectly possible even in extravaganza orT
musical shows. That has been demon-'
strated often enough to be n truism j
and It need not be Sunday -school humor,'
either. "Sinbud's" voyage Into musical
comedy isn't nautical; it isn't merely"3
"naughty", it's worse than either. 53
The cast is somewhat changed from J
that which played in New York. Somelo
of the substitutes lack "pep" nnd 1
'punch." The same lack is noticeable t2
in Sigmund Romberg's score. The same
lnck is noticeable iu Harold Atterage'a
lyrics and dialogue. But there hns been
j no lack of expenditure in the staging. iJS
It is opulent, gorgeous nnd doubtless j
I costly. fc
