EVE in THE arena. When your club does constructive work, report it to this department. Your s?'ccess may be the stimulus a younger group needs lor increased civic progress. This section is devoted to the recording of practical achievement. Woman, strug gling with ideals through the ages, has known a sphere of contest to which the Vodern Eve now approaches largely by organization. ETHEL RATTAY. “Yes, we shall have our thou sand!” Sang the hostesses of the Chil dren’s Seashore House Fund Club when they were entertained in the North Room of the Bellevue Stratford recently, at a Musicale Lecture-Tea in their honor given by the President, Mrs. Gillien Clamer and so they sang at the last of the series to be held at the Bellevue, which took place April 1st. Snapdragons and pink car nations brought a breath of springtime into the beautiful North Room where the luncheon was held, and the gala attire of the players in the North Room where cards reigned su preme created a memorable pic ture. Mr. George Elliot sub stituting for General Butler, de livered an illuminating address on “Citizenship” stressing its value and need collectively and individu ally. Mr. Ledyard, president of the Children’s Seashore House Federation, and Dr. William Jack son Merrill, of Germantown, also addressed the distinguished gath ering of Philadelphia and Atlantic City women. The benefit derived from co operation between the German town and University of Pennsyl vania Hospitals was outlined by Miss Helen Pugh, head of the Ger mantown institution and Miss Ritz L. Scudder, head of the so cial department of the U. of P. Hospital. Miss Loda Doforth, Philadelphia soprano, delighted the gathering with an excellent rendition of an aria from “La Tosca”; Martin Richardson, a gifted New York tenor, sang “Celeste” from the opera “Aida,” the “Toreador Song” from Car men, “My Desire,” “The Awaken ing” and “Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes.” Miss Doforth and Mr. Richardson closed their con tribution with the duet from “Cavalleria Rusticana.” Mrs. William Jeffereys, Mrs. Godfrey Mahn, Mrs. J. J. O’Brien, Mrs. Herbert O’Neil, Mrs. Madeline Van Dyke, Mrs. Francis Mc Cutcheon, Mrs. Fred Poth, Mrs. P. Mortimer Lewis, Mrs. George Young, Mrs. Howard McCoy, Mrs. P. E. Kriebel, Mrs. G. A. Clamer, Mrs. Rosario Bourdon, Mrs. E. D. Rightmire, Mrs. Unity Costello and Mrs. Charles Helmbold were Ventnor members of the Chil dren’s Seashore House Fund Club who attended the final Philadel phia function, Tuesday. The members will sing again in the Lattice Room of the Hotel Shelburne, when at the luncheon, Mah Jong and bridge, slated for April 22nd, the membership drive is again stimulated by the officers. The faithful old banana song has had its life prolonged for sev vice in the organization. VERSE “Each little cripple in cot so clean, Lying patiently may be seen. Seashore Fund Club has in mind, A fireproof building to find. - CHORUS Yes, we have seven hundred, We need three hundred or more. Our quota’s a thousand. Our members are proud of The homes for the girl and boy. We had a fine winter season, Seashore House was the reason, But altho we have seven hundred, We must have a thousand or more.” “And a little child shall lead them” is the caption for the story being written in 'collaboration by the members of the Journalists* Club of Atlantic County and it gives ua pleasure to announce that though to date “Will you buy a ticket?” is the eternal question of the first chapter, reservations for the notable lecture to be given by the famous historian, Dr. Her bert Adams Gibbons, April 17th, at eight-thirty o’clock in Vernon Room of H addon Hall, the rest of the volume will be mighty in teresting reading, especially that section titled “check receipts.” It is very fitting that the profes sional writers should sponsor a cause of broad human interest— for whose heart does not throb a bit faster at the thought of help less childhood! “There but for the grace of God go I,” comes to many lips as cot after cot of the patient sufferers are visited, and delving into the jeans to the depth of one dollar to give oneself the entertainment and enlightenment of attending this intellectual event of the season is one potent way to register gratitude for our blessing of normality and humane co operation with the noble Seashore House Fund Club which has worked so tirelessly so long to raise funds to safeguard the help less cripples in a fire-proof build ing. The cost of maintenance is tremendous and your dollar added to the friend’s, whom you may interest, will help work the miracle of service which strives to cure the kiddies and send them back to loving arms of parents who will bless you for your co operation. Tickets may be pro cured at Blatt’s Department Store or by phoning Marine 7771. Ad mission to hear Dr. Gibbons de liver his famous lecture on inter national current events, “East Is East, West Is West,” April 17th, is one dollar and there are no reservations. * * * I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self contained, I can stand and look at them long and long. They do not sweat and whine about their condition; They do not lie awake in the dark and sweat for their sins, They do not make me sick discuss ing their duty to God, Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of ouming things. Not one kneels to the other, nor to his kind that lived thou sands of years ago. Not one is disrespectable or un happy over the whole earth. Would that the animals of the cities could be described in these words of Walt Whitman’s! If this ideal condition existed the infinite pains to home and nurture the brutally treated or abandoned animals would be needless; but so long as ill-fitting .harnesses bruise and injure horses and drivers are heedless unless reprimanded, so long as parents permit children to adopt dogs, rabbits and cats for a season and abandon them to starvation, and while diseased pets are allowed to carry contagion from house to house—just so long will the service of the County So :iety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals be essential to the progress of a self-respecting com munity. “Be kind to animals is the slogan in the pulpit, press, and class-room all this week through the activity of this organization of which Leonard Algar is presi dent. Many ministers preached appropriate sermons April 7th with the love and kindness to our animal friends as a quality of righteousness; school teachers are j directing the composition of es says on the subject and pupils in all the schools were requested to originate posters on the subject and prizes were awarded for the most impressive ones. President Coolidge wrote to the association, “Accept my „thanks for your note which brings to my attention the fact that ‘Be Kind to Animals Week’ is to be observed this year April 7th to 14th. I am glad to learn that this cele bration is becoming more and more an affair of national interest and concern. The cause is one which thoroughly deserves con sideration.” Evidence of the con sideration given locally is the dis position of hundreds of dogs, cats and horses who were in some way incapacitated, providing good homes for many, reporting cruel ties, healing of ailments and the examining of two .hundred beach ponies during the year. An agent travels all over the county, in this noble cause and a motion was passed in the December meeting to seek the licensing of cats as well as dogs. The fee for the licenses will defray the expenses of the attendant. The asphyxiat ing station on Central Avenue is soon to be removed to city prop erty on North Tennessee Avenue (where a large receiving station will be constructed to meet the de | mands of the project. The Association of American University Women, and the man agement of Chalfonte-Haddon l Hall are being congratulated at ; every turn upon the artistic | calibre of the recently completed March Musicales, and it is evi dent from discussion among the patrons that these classical eve nings will receive even greater j support in the series it is to be hoped will be arranged for the next season. No chain of musical events ever held in the resort has done more to elevate the standard of the music-loving public than have these opportunities to hear famous soloists in the ideal en vironment of the elegantly simple Vernon Room. The dignified and distinctive decorative treatment of the in terior immediately relaxes one receptively and leaves the mind free to travel the mystic realm with the celebrities who journey here. The refinement and atten tion of the subscribers added greatly to the musical feasts which might, from a point of acoustics and elegance be taking place in some royal salon, so per fect is the environment here. After all it returns to memory as a King’s Realm, and he who faces Old Neptune after the flights of tonal fancy to which the artists entranced one, is conscious of an exhilaration which proved indis putably that a message from the infinite had been delivered thru this wonderful medium, the H ad don Hall March Musicales! The unusual and instructive program which, under the super vision of Ventnor’s foremost pianist, Mrs. Alice Warren Sachse, proved so highly divert ing at the monthly meeting of the Crescendo Club Tuesday evening of last week brought out great numbers of art patrons in spite GELB’S Tots-To-Teens Shop 1823 Atlantic Avenue ™E ISnaargSHOP RELIGIOUS ARTICLES AND PICTURE FRAMING 85 S.

Mrs. Sachse will be the guest pianist : at the annual May tea to be given , i by the Research Club in the ro-; i tunda of the Marlborough. This; : function is one of the outstanding | dates on the social calendar and ! every year grows in sentiment and appreciation among the members ; and guests. The Council of Women’s Or-j ganizations is deep in preparation ■' for the annual luncheon to be held in the Egyptian Ball Room ofj1 the Breakers Hotel at noon, May j 14th. Mrs. John Gossler, of the Wiltshire Hotel on Virginia Ave-j nue, just off the beach, is the’ capable chairman of the day, and 1 all luncheon reservations should be made thru her immediately, as the reservations will be limited to five hundred. Each club will be represented by its own table, and will be permit ted individual decoration and modified advertisement in keeping with the general color scheme of pink and white. Nick Nichols’ or chestra will furnish the back ground for the songs and it is likely there will be community contests as the various organiza tions voice their praise of their respective orders. Prominent speakers to be announced later will add the intellectual quality to what undoubtedly will be one of the greatest social gatherings ever held under the auspices ,of the allied women’s clubs.
