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

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. Is your
cover reserved?
