rHERE are to begreat doing In New

Mrs., Paul Andrews, an aunt of Ethel
HuhnBalley and mother of Mrs. Morganv
Belthont, Is one of those Interested in tne.
affair.
Ethel, by the way, has elected to stay
near homo this summer. She Is doing a
lot of Bed Cros3 work and does not want
to "stop It for the summer. Her father and
she have taken the Harry Thayers house
at Bryn Mavw.
THE news about Vinton Freedley Is In-'
tereatlnr, ln't It? He's become a mem
ber of the nnrlne corpj, and will begin
training down In South Carolina next
week. He married Mary Mitchell a little
more than a voar aso, you know. They

When they wre both members of the Plays

Mrs. P.obort Eniott Hare had a dellchtful
Informal luncheon nnd l.iuslcale jestordny
at her homo in Strafford. Mrs. Illlllo
Whelen and Mrs. Robeit Meade Smith

Strafford for the summer. It was a most
enjoyable affair.

ILFRED and Margaret were having It
aulto hot and heavy as to whether
'they got up today or .tomorrow. You see
it was this way. They had said their
prayers and been tucked Into their small
beds by mother when Wilfred called across
to sister: "Tomorrow we'll get up and go
fishing." "No. we won't," leplled sister,
"we get up today."
Now believe mo or net, Wilfred is six
years old and Margaret is not et four.
And that is true, for I know them my
self. "Why, no, we don't, Margaret, it's today
now' said Wilfred. "No it's not, it's to
night," she said, and had the last woid,
for that appeared to squelch Wilfred for
a moment. He could not contest that, bo
they went peacefully to lecp.
Next morning, however, when Mar
garet's dancing eyes, first saw tho sun, up
she bat in bed and called across to In other:
"Wilfred Is this torlcy or tomorrow?" "To
day," responded brother sleepily. "Ah
ha," said the small sister, pointing her
tiny finger at lilni.
Well, on and off the argument contin
ued all day, Margaret contending that it
was never tomoirow, and Wilfied contend
ing that there was always a tomor. ow,
and when father nrrhed from business
they were going sttong. '
So he butted Into the conversation and
tried to explain to Margaret that theie
was always r. tomotiow for today, because
it meant something In tho future. Mar
garet could not see that. .Finally, her
father said: "Well, Margaret, why do you'
cay that night falls but it never breaks,
and day breaks but It never falls?" Mar
garet stopped for a moment and thought
deeply; then,' ratlin? her small finger She
said, "Papa, you aie right."
Some brain woik In that, family, don't
you think? NANCY WYNNE.

The babies' room, on the third door, has been

So enthulastlc did the nurses become over

Mr. Davidson ha had a thorough experi

atmosphere. AVe Hro Imiuovlug our nutses'
