PA TRICIA WRITES OF PENSACOLA AND
PEOPLE TO POLLY IN MANHATTAN
1'olly.. my love:
It Is too dull for words down her.
But it is delightful, natheiess. The surf
Is wonderful. lon't tell me about At
. lantlc Beach. I don't want anything bet
ter than Santa Koa& Island and a dip in
the Gulf of Mexico, xou can't beat it,
i'olly, say what you will.
So we don't mind it being duli down
here.
The days are marvelous. It seems to
me we have never had such keen clear
' mornings, such lovely noons and such
mooncy nights as we have had lately, i
was talking to a young ensign from Illi
nois the other day and he spoke of our
tropic moon. I reminded him that ne
should have said semi-tropic, but he in
sisted that the moon was too big- ana
White and beautiful to be semi-anythlng.
"There is something about your moon-
carried on by the Rockefeller rouma-
tlon. Miss Crowe 11 has. lots of friends
here who are very much Interested 'n
new of her, and I know you would do,
too. She started her work in .Florida,
and after going to New York, became
executive secretary of the Rockefeller
clinic and was later sent to France as
associate director.
Miss Crowell was in the church In
Paris which was wrecked by the German
monster gun which bombarded Paris
Good Friday, 1918, but-was entirely un
hurt. lon t you know she will have
some exciting experiences to tell us when
she gets back home? -
X have just been talking to the most
interesting girl Janet Allen. Ton may
remember her lovely voice, a full, sweet,
sympathetic contralto. She still sings in
the churches of Richmond, Vs., where
light down here," he said, "that goes toJ Bhs naa been making her home for
trie neaa tno, rouy, tnis isn i a romance,
though it sounds like . one) It Is your
magnolias, and young pink Mexican vine
1 saw so much of last summer laat's
the darndest .prettiest vine I ever saw.
(.Those are his words, not mine) It sort
of gets you. Why, I could sit -on .he
gallery of the Country club and look
across the bay and bathe in the moon
light and make a darned fool of myselt
over any girl."
I had a mind to tell him that Nature
had spared him that trouble. But that
is rather a cheap bit of persiflage, so
. instead I told him ho was a dear and
that I was not so bad looking, even in
tho daytime. And let it go at that. But
It is the truth, Polly, about the moon.
It does sort of go to your head, don't
you know.
We are having gorgeous nights - and
. tranquil days, no doubt about the one or
' tne other. I sometimes wish It were a
bit less tranquil, but there are still a
lot of nice men left, and I understand
they are . going to keep them here in
definitely, which is best of alL
I met a girl from Grand Rapids not
long ago, and she said that she . had
- visited in many towns, but never one like
this. "You don't have to have parties
"to coax the men," she said. "Why, there
r.re so many of them . down here; they
- simply eat out of your hands. They are
in captivity and like ' it. Up where I
came from there are so few men we used
to sit out on the piazza am. hold hands
.with each other."
There are lota of men here, and some
. very Interesting girls, and some charm
ing married women, all of whom have
'. added, much to tne glory of the nations. .
No doubt you have heard about the
coming marriage of Margaret Michie ro
Invid Wells ol New York, they are
both bq well known. You will remem
ber when she visited here with her
' mother as the guest of Mr. and Mrs.
t W. S. Keyser, at The Moorings. There
!was a great deal of very sincere regret
at the death of her father. General R. 1.
Michie,. in France last June. The wed
rting is to take place at Norwalk, Conn.,
. the summer home of the Keyser's, the
. latter part of June.
I have heard another interesting bit
of newt: about somebody you know, and
whom you may possibly meet in New
York later In the summer. You recall
Elizabeth Crowell. She is expected home
in the late summer from France, where
f.he is associate director of the anti
tuberculosis work in Italy, which being
some time. But she is guess what the
only girl In the whole south, who is
the manager of a moving picture bouse.
And she is the best ever. Her uncle,
Mr. Jake Wells, has a chain of theatres
and when Janet went from . here to
Jynchburg she had Intended to play the
big organ in the theatre, but she found
tnis too much for her, and so when she
found her uncle wanted some one to
manage a picture house, she said: "Why
not I?"
When she told roe about it. she said:
"My rude is not tn kiiid of person who
thirtUs a girl can't i ttings because
tby have never beei done before by
a girl. And so wlmi I proposed to man
age his theatre, it seemed to strike nim
as a very good idea. I . liked It from the
first. ' It was It-nny, too, that I shouM
have, for I hd always had my music aal
been a sort of housekeeping person. But
I had never . done any clerical kind or
work-, or snyth.ng that required greit
executive ability.
But I gained a lot of experience in
Lynchburg, and so when my brother.
Gale, who had been managing' the Odeon
in Richmond, enlisted in the .navy, i
steiped into his shoes. Between the time
I left Iynchburg and the' time I went to
Richmond. I spent a delightful month in
New York. Then I took up the duties
an manager of the Odeon, which if I had
the naming of it, should be called The
Ladles Theatre. It is right in the shop
ping district and the women are crazy
about it. There is a big department store
across the street, and the girls bring their
sandwiches and have lunch and pictures
Pt the same time.
"I like the work immensely, but I have
not given up my music by any means.
For of course that was my first love."
I think Janet is a wonder, and she has
gained a very "distinctive style, which is
most attractive.:
' I think it is awfully nice' to get out
of the beaten track- and . do something
that -other people don't do, and do It
better than ahe men, don't you? Janet
Allen, would laugh about that, for she Is
very modest about her work, out . thay
say that she is a wonder when it- comes
to getting results.
I wonder if in your reading for I -now
vou mtr.l still read a lot, even in bur.
New York, you were always such a
bookworm ou come across , stories by
Nellie Cravey Gillmore? You must have
seen so. many of her stories lately listed
In the magazines. "The 'Pick-Up". In a
current issue of Breezy Stories, is by
Mrs. Gillmore. and ; I see from advance
notices that they are to nse another story
of hers. "Murder Will Out." Youngs
Magazine has two stories of Mrs. Gill
more's scheduled for early issues "In
Transit" and "Till Death Do Us Part."
The Parisienne is to use "Her Ox and
His," "Lo Chasseur and other short
sketches, so I "see In the advance .no
tices sent out, and Ten Story Book will
Boon use "The Best Laid Plans." i have
also seen short stories recently by Mrs.
Gillmore In the Chicago News, the Herald
and McClure's Syntdcate. . '
Mrs. GUImoer's work" has attracted a
good deal of attention, and one of her
stories was recently listed by O'Brien as
one of the best short stories by an
American writer.
But I need not tell you all this, for no
doubt you keep up with the current mag
azines, as you always did.
Another bright Pensacola gtn you wiu
remember Is Velma Maura. Hhe is now
in Tallahassee, where she has a clerical
position In the- house of representatives,
during the legislature. Velma had ben
on the staff of The Journal, before going
over to Tallahassee. She was called
home in the early part of last winter by
the Illness of her mother. At the time
she was on the Baltimore Sun. She Is
certainly one of the cleverest newspaper
women in the South. ;
Helen Maura and her two children,
Helen and John, are here, visiting Mrs.
Joseph Maura, Velma's mother, and tho
mother of Helen's husband, Frank Maura.
Frank is quite 111 in the hospital at Fort
McPherson. He was taken in while In
France, first with flue, which later de
veloped into pneumonia. He is muph
better now, but he had a hard seige.
You know he is a major, it seems
strange when you think of it.. He Is stilt
quite a young, man, and is a veteran in
the service. Three weeks after his
graduation he received his appointment
as assistant army surgeon, and was sent
to the Philippines. During this war he
served in France. His army record has
been very distinguished.
Little Billy Robards is here visiting Jiis
grandmother. His mother was Ethel
Maura, before her marriage to Captain
Frank F; Robards, who lost his life m
the service of his country while at Haytl,
during the last insurrection there. His
death came Just three weeks before he
would have been given the rank of ma
jor. Mrs. Robards holds a government
position In Washington. -Her small son
has been attending school in Baltimore.
He ,. will spend : the summer with his
grandmother hf" He is a bright, fear
lees little chap, ana revers the memory
of his brave father, whose memory the
government signally honored at the time
ot his death. - -
Mrs. William Fisher. Sr.. Is In Wash
fngtonwhere she Is visiting Mrs. Lula A.
Fierce. Later she will go on to Phila
delphia, to be the guest of .her uaughter,
Mrs. W. C. Mason. Pensacola people are
very proud of the honors t'nat have come
to Mrs. Fisher's son, William Fisher,
who is now In Paris. He is one of tho
attorneys retained by the war department
for the liquidation commission, and has
joined that commission In Europe- to
work In connection with the claims that
have arisen among the entente nations
during-the war. The United States has
important claims to settle, on which tho
liquidation commission will meet the rep-

Perhaps you will meet Emily Lamont.
I know she is going to stop over a
few days in New Yorlt as the guest of
Miss Bert Murphy. Miss Murphy left
Pensacola for New York Intending to Go
war work, but the signing Of the
tice decided her to remain on this side,
and she has gone into business for her
selflumber and real estate. You know,
while here, she did some business in both,
and was very successful. These Pen
sacola girls know how to make their
way In the Big City, it would seem, from
the news, we hear from them.
Emily Lamont Is going on to Boston to!
visir hr ainters-' Elish and Jean. Elish
is at the New England Conservatory of
Music, where she is studying piano, and
Jean is Just keeping her company. Emily
will stop on the way . north with some
triends in Jacksonville. She will return
to Pensacola about the first of July.
Lmlly Lamont has helped a lot in the
vanou drives, particularly in the Emer
Fency Relief work. One of the men wh
worked with her said, "Do you know that
girl has the mind of a man." He thought
he was paying her a compliment but I
thought he was complimenting the man.
Mrs. J. M. Muldon left Saturday for
Long Island, where . she will visit Mrs.
Adam C. Sumner, at Garden Cliy. Later

ing the week for Atlanta, Ga., where they
will visit. They will attend the com
mencement at Agnes Scott, from which
"PoKlfc'' was graduated, as the guest of
Mary Leech, of Clarksville, Term. We
Just call her "Pokie" down here, because
she's such -a dear and everybody loves
her. -
There aren't any really big parties to
tell you about. There was a charming
small party at the Country Club, at
which Ensign Joe Collins, U. S. N., and
Ens'gn Patten, U. S. N., of the Pensa
cola Naval Air station, entertained cn
Wednesday evening at the r Country
Club, their guests being Mr. and Mrs.
Ellis Knowles, Mr. and Mrs. Wllmer Hay

formed an exquisite centerpiece, and were
used about the rooms.

awaits everyone who tries this
There was never a time In all the
historv of the world when it was so
necessary that each one of us should
fully realize the personal responsibility
which rests upon us. in family life, in the
business realm and in the work of the
nation.
it is no longer a universe in which each
person may go his or her own way. living
one's life according to one's inclinatioa.
The hour has struck when each man and
woman and child must know that he and
she have a distinct duty to perform, a j
distinct place to fill. J
Old Duties for New.
Personal responsibility is "the keynote
of the hour. Yet here is one of the
strange contradictions. Many persons in
taking over the new responsibilities are
letting go of t:e old ones. And many are
assuming that certain responsibilities are
theirs which are not theirs at all an!
are allowing the old obligations to go by
the board, and yet these former responsi
bilities must be shouldered by eoitte one.
It is incidental to all vrrs, of course,
that the old order of living should be
upset. But it is not true that all of us
are called to give up the old duties and
take up new and unfamiliar ones.
And when we do this we want to be
ery sure that it is our work and that
we are called to do it, and that in the
doing we are not neglecting something of
greater importance something, perhaps,
that ws do not like to do. something that
is very humdrum and ordinary but vitaliy
necessary.
A mh.n who has spent five months at
the front, in writing home, recently said
that there are 'many men and women vr
in France and England who should be on
, thi8 Bide of the Atlantic. He said that
these men and women had enlisted in the
ranks of the non-combatants and had
J rnn, oversea with high ideals to help
their country, but that they had gone
without training for any special thing and
without any real idea of what they want
ed to do or could do; they were there
, with t". desire for service, but what that
.service was they did not know
I In other words, they had left perfectly
good jobs at home, jobs that they had
been trained in, and some of them had
left homes of luxury where - they had
never done any kind of a job in their lives
and had gone across the ocean. They
wanted to be of value but they did not
know how to serve.
Now that is just what we all must
know if we are going to be of help in
any way we must know how to serve. -It
is utterly useless to give up the Job
you know how to do to undertake some
thing you know nothing about.
, Wften a girl enlists for work in the Red
Cross nursing corps, for instance, she s
examined, she is given a special course
of training, she la fitted for her work
before she is sent abroad.
And it should be, so in all branches jot
service where the girl Is to he of any
uetp. It is useless for her to give up
something that she is doing and doing
well to take up a task of which she
knows nothing.
Whatever she wishes to undertake she
should fit herself for in every possible
way.
The girl who enters upon any work
should do so with the realization that it
13 or great Importance; that if she- fails
others will fail, for she is a cog in a
great machine.
There is an old saying which runs
something like this: For want of a nail
the shoe was lost; for want Of a shoe
the horse was kst; for want of a horse
the rider was lost; for want of a rider Ihe
Dattie was lost: for want of a bntti th
kingdom was lost, and" all for the want
of a horseshoe nail.
Cog lif a Machine.
And so the girl at home working faith
fully need not think that because her
3 not a very important Job eiie is 0:
special account in the sum of th!:
ihe may be the nail that saves the d;
he may be the very cog upon which
ther cogs rest.
"Whatsoever yourjianda find to flo.
it with all your might." There have I
nany new mottoes devised for our
spiration, but none that equals that T
is the day when work of the r.f
counts. i
' This Is the day when labor is entfc:
