Mrs. Morris Officiates.
' Mrs. Roland Sletor Morris, of Phil
adelphia, formerly Miss Augusta
Shippen West, of Ashevllle, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. William Whitehead
West, was charmingly spoken of by
one of the Philadelphia papers in
connection with a fashionable gath
ering at the Keen House Dansant
opening. Her many friends in Ashe
vllle and relatives here will be inter
ested In the following:
"The second story of the Wister
mansion seemed all too small last
Monday afternoon for Mrs. Keen's op
ening, or rather, "private view." Al
though her "The Dansant" was given
to the patronesses, such was the in
terest in the affair that the place was
crowded. The patronesses danced
with their sons' friends, quite i.a much
as did their daughters, at least Mrs.
Robert Emott Hare did you know
she was Miss Guillou, and that In it
self was a spectacle worthy of respect
ful attention. Besides the Hare clan
there were present Miss Ruth Coxe,
Miss Jean Rullltt, Miss Mary Frances
Fisher, Mrs. Henry K. Dlllard, Mrs.
Harry Thayer, the Otto Mallerys, Miss
Maria Gilpin, Alfred Barton and Miss
Genevieve Gibbs; indeed, all the de
votees of the dance who were In
search for keen excitement excuse
the pun. Every afternoon since then
Mrs. Keen has had some well-known
woman to pour tea. On Thursday,
for Instance, Jt was Mrs. Roland S.
Morris who officiated "with utmost
grace at the samovar, and I could not
help feeling that the place soon
might be too small to hold the smart
crowd thut will rush to this recherche
establishment. By tne way. let me
remark upon the delirious biscuits
that were served on her opening day,
and between the flaky crusts of these
a delicate sllne was It It a slice? or
was it a mere breath of old Virginia
ham that Imparted the faint flavor to
them at once. I need hardly add that
though primarily Intended for Bel
gian wounded. te hospital treats
those of any nationality.

would huve called a 'bouchee.' "

Dr. S. Westray Battle has received
the information from Belgium that
his daughter, Mrs. Mortimer Hancock
formerly Miss Madelon Battle of
Ashevllle, who is engaged In Red
Cross work in the Belgian Field hos
pital, has been requested by the Bel
gian Field hospital officials to lecture
in the United States In the cause of
this institution. Mrs. Hancock, who Is
the wife of Major Hancock of the
British Royal Fusiliers, who ls now
stationed in Egypt, has been wonder
fully active in her work as Red Cross
nurse. Instead of accept in the Invi
tation to lecture at the present time,
Mrs. Hancock has sent the following
to Dr. Battle for publication:
" Will you permit me by request of
the committee, to make an appeal
through your columns on behalf of
the Belgian Field hospital?
"The hospital was established In
Antwerp through the kind offices of
the queen of the Belgians in the first
week of September, 1914, and re
mained there until the evacuation of
the city by the allies. In spite of tre
mendous difficulties and very consid
erable danger, the staff succeeded In
safely removing every one of the
wounded in the hospital to Ghent,
Bruges and Ostend.
"About the middle of October the
hospital was re-established at Furnes
In that small part of Belgium stilt
held against the enemy. Since then
and during the heavy fighting which
ha taken place in Flanders the num
ber of cases treated has been at the
rate of about 600 a fortnight, most
of them serious ones.
"The herolo services rendered by
the brave Belgian army to the cause
of the allies need hardly be described.
They held the German forces In
check while England and France
were bringing up their troops; they
defended Belgium stubbornly; after
the retreat from Antwerp they re
formed and commenced to fight again
iwlth the same unconquerable valour.
Our hospital Is practically the only
on which can render immediate and
experienced aid on a large seals to
the Belgian army. Our position Is
unique we have the promise of the
Belgian authorities that' whenever the
Belgian army goes we shall follow and
that we shall a' ways be within sound
of the guns.' Most of the serious
eases and there ax only too many i
of them must be skilfully treated j
within twelv hours of the wound be- I
jlng received, or else no treatment li
I of any us. Thanks to our kpeclal
privilege and our near proximity;
(about five miles) to the firing line'
we can treat these wounded men and
In very many cases sav Uvea which
would otherwise b lost But to do
this, to maintain the prevent f flclen-
oy of the hospital and to Increase the i
scop of Its work when the enemy Is
driven further back we must have
money and plenty of it As an Ameri
can woman who has been a nursa at
the hospital sine September, I ask
my 'fellow countrymen and country
women to help us. We Americans
have the reputation of being a gen- !
jeroue nation and I am sure that my
I appeal will not be In vain. We want I
a million dollar and we want It'
now. By giving to us you will be
! helping ths wounded In the most dl- 1
:rect and useful way possible, ant one
;cnt of you money will b wasted,
