EVE in THE AREN y°uUr.t,ub constructive work, report it to this department. Your •• j 6 48Aln?ll,Mf a younger group needs for increased civic progress. ?e*uted *£* recording of practical achievement. Woman, strug ESELJkJ"**1* throuSh »»•»* has known a sphere of contest to which the Modern 6Ve now approaches largely by organization. —* ~ ETHEL RATTAY. Adding to the comfort and con venience of »the ex-soldiers of James Harvey Post, No. 144, of the American Legion Home at Menanpico, N, J., by furnishing a room for the convalescents is the most recent civic activity of the members of the Colony Club. * * * Hotel and restaurant waitresses of the city are learning, through the efforts of Miss Mabel Everett, more about that little touch of kindness that makes the whole world kin, and not one of them is apt to miss the Wednesday eve ning hospitality especially ar ranged for them weekly at the Young Women’s Christian Asso ciation Home, North Carolina Avenue and Pacific. Miss Everett, who is Extension Sec retary of the “Y,” has endeared herself to these young women, many of whom come to the resort for a brief time, unacquainted with the routine of formal hotel business. Many are teachers and advanced students and often find themselves yearning for the “home touch” which Miss Everett: and her assistants have so suc-J cessfully developed in these Wed nesday parties, to which all serv ing the hotels in this capacity are welcomed. Music, games and re freshments offered as a mother, best pal or big sister would ar range them, made-all present as sure Headquarters of their pres ence there on Wednesday, Au gust 8—-tonight! - * * * Numerous well-known mer chants by the Atlantic Ocean are receiving visits from public spirited women bent jipon mak ing the card party for the benefit of the local - hospital a success. The smile , that lures donations from the shelf, is being suc cessfully exercised, and handsome and unusual prizes are on the way via the gratis route to add to the interest of this diversion for so worthy a cause. Mrs. Wil liam Cuthbert, president of the Woman’s Auxiliary of the Hos pital, predicts a large attendance at the Ritz-Carlton for this affair for which the handsome Trellis Room facing the ocean will be in holiday attire. Mrs. William Burkhart is Chairman of the entertainment, and Mrs. Ralph Davis will be in charge of the candy with, the valuable assist ance of Mrs. Edward L. Bader. Mrs. James O’Keefe, Mrs. Charles Sinkinson and Mrs. M. Mack are active on the Auxiliary Com - mittce which numbers sixty. Playing will commence at 2.30.

Miss A,nna Corcoran is general secretary of the Traveler’s Aid with head quarters in City Hall from which her aids administer all kinds of service necessary to the runaway youth of which the number is in conceivable—the bewildered for eigner and the unemployed or deserted persons who would be come panicky without the assist ance of this organization. The National Association of which the local office is a representative branch is planning to enter a symbol of its indispensable serv ice in the much heralded Pageant. Some suggestion of the detail handled by the Board of Directors in this phase of public activity will be given but one needs to re ceive at first hand an outline of the problems handled so efficiently to have a true conception of the scope of this civic business of as sisting the one who has lost a ticket—the deserted wife—often with no knowledge of English—or lost children. Lack of acquaint ance of the city, insufficient funds for lodging, danger of chance acquaintances, etc., are some of the cases demanding quick and accurate ^thinking for which the organization daily adds to its laurels. In June 467 individuals were helped- on the way through vital service, and 380 minor situations adjusted. To have 522 trains met a month by women trained to see a difficulty and its solution at a glance, or one quali fied to transfer the unfortunate one on to the proper authorities to remedy the condition is evi dence of laudable organization. Speaking of organization, Miss Corcoran emphasized the need of a Girl’s Protective Association to supplement the activities of her order in caring for the runaways and deserted wives and other humans who find themselves jn nfortunate predicaments through inexperience or evil influence. Voluntary contributions maintain this service which is carried on quietly and effectively every day, unnoticed in the main by busy natives and visitors. A perusal of one monthly report of the Local Traveler’s Aid would astonish those who are not familiar with human complications which this organization seeks to cure. * * * “Have you a bucket and shovel to gladden a wee teart?” A visitor at the Atlantic City Day Nursery was .asked in reply to the statement that she would like to do some little thing to brighten the days of the little ones who re ceive the daily mothering of Mrs. Minnie Fife the superintendent at the Home to which working mothers take their children every day. The bac^ yard is full of fine beach sand but the shovels and buckets so indispensable for making the magic sand cakes are few in number, so it is hoped the small tax on the purse will soon be met to the satisfaction of these children who in many cases re gard Mrs. Fife as a real mother, so little of their own parents do they see. A building fund has been started, which will be in creased by the Women’s Com mittee during the winter by various entertainments, for room ier quarters are necessary for ] the welfare of the children. Cleanliness, love and appropriate diversion administered by Mrs. Fife and her helpers has reduced the illness of the children to a minimum and to- look In on the wee ones at lunch reminds one of a happy family having a picnic party.

They have a .Victrola but these lovely days a romp with a big sister in the yard or a storj hour would bring them untold de light, and the lasting gratitude of the mothers separated from the duty that should be their pleasure by the ever-pressing economic question. * * * The Colony Club plans many “surprise prises” for its card party from 3 to 5 o’clock Friday, at the Hotel Knickerbocker. The expenses of furnishing a room at the Home for Tubercular Pa tients at Pine Rest, also the pur chase of comfortable rustic fur niture for the pavilions and lawns there will be met by the proceeds of this carefully pre pared affair. Any function of the Colony Club members is always characterized with distinction and a large gathering is booked for the game. Candies and other articles will be sold while the So cial Bee buzzes and the charitably inclined exercise “patience and shuffle the cards.” • * * If there is one event of local interest that^ attracts much at tention from all denominations, it is the Annual Bazaar held by the Holy Spirit Social Club on the lawn of the church, Oriental Avenue and New Jersey. Car penters and decorators are work ing overtime to transform the site into a scene of beauty and if you do not feel gay when you start for the grounds it will not be long after you have arrived Thursday before St. Monica’s Naval Batallion Band of Phila delphia will get you into th« spirit of the affair. The “Fair’ will be in activity Thursday, Fri day and Saturday afternoon and evening. Children’s Day is sched uled for Saturday afternoon (Oh elements hold off the rain) and there are special features ar ranged for each evening session. Mrs. Edward Bader has named the bride doll who will gladden the heart of the lucky potential mother who guesses her name. The collection of fancy goods, candies and desirable novelties has engrossed the attention of the Committee for a long time—• it will not cost anything to let the whole family get in to see the" fun and enjoy the merry crowds but you are warned that many j charming flappers will strive to graciously remind you that char-! ity hepeth all things, endureth; all things and buyeth a lot of! them to swell the building fund of Holy Spirit Church. * *' * The Royal Palace Grill will be the scene of diamond, heart, club and spade activity at 2.30 P.
