Mrs. John Hays Hammond of Gloucester, president 
of the Militia of Mercy, has issued a public appeal for 
_ funds for another motor ambulance for the transportation 
_to hospitals of child victims of infantile paralysis. One 
such motor ambulance was recently purchased by the 
organization for use in Boston, and has since been con- 
stantly employed. Now, according to the appeal, the 
waiting list far exceeds the capacity of the present ma- 
chine. “Scout” cars, for trips to outlying districts, are 
also required, according to Mrs. Hammond. A few small 
- automobiles for use in this work would leave the larger 
‘machines free to work in the more congested districts.

side,” the Manchester Cove home of the John Chess Ells- 
worths. Mitchell & Southerland of Boston have had the 
work in charge. During the last two years in which the 
Ellsworths have occupied the place several artistic im- 
provements have been made upon it. It was formerly 
known as the Dr. Tenney cottage. Nearby is the Furman 
cottage, recently purchased by John M. Stevens of Brook- 
line. They are planning extensive improvements to be 
made this winter and spring. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens oc-

Washington society will welcome cordially the new 
attache of the Danish legation, Aksel Wichfeld, and Mrs. 
Wichfeld, on their return to Washington this month. 
Mrs. Wichfeld was formerly Mrs. Clarence Moore, whose 
husband was lost in the tragedy of the Titanic. Her 
maiden name was Mabelle Swift, her parents being the 
late E. G. Swifts of Chicago and Washington. She was 
married when quite young to Clarence Moore, a widower, 
and a well known horseman and clubman. His daughter, 
Miss Frances Moore, a most charming and attractive girl, 
was a débutante of two seasons ago, brought out at one 
of the most beautiful and elaborate receptions and dances 
which Washington débutantes have known. There are 
three small Moore children in the family, the youngest 
being a tiny baby, when the Titanic went down. Mrs. 
Moore was married very quietly to Mr. Wichfeld in May, 
1915. They have remained late at: “Swiftmoor,” the 
Pride’s Crossing home, inherited by Mrs. Wichfeld from 
her mother, who died last spring. They left recently by 
motor accompanied by Miss Frances Moore, and their 
guest, Countess Raben, for a sojourn at the Virginia Hot 
Springs before going to Washington. Mrs. Wichfeld 
will be a distinct acquisition to the diplomatic circles. 
The Danish minister, Mr. Brun, who has served many 
years in Washington is a relative of Mr. Wichfeld, and 
was best man at his wedding. Mrs. Wichfeld is not likely 
to go into society very formally this season as she is still 
in mourning for her mother,
