Dr. and Mrs. Edwin Eldon Graham Will Give Large Tea
and Dinner-Dance Today to Introduce-Their Daugh
ter, MisB Lorraine Graham
k-
?
'stYTEtik, certainly one of themost nt
(VY tractive, buds of the a-eason will bo
Introduced this afternoon out In Devon
when Lorraine Graham, or, better. Lor
ralne doodrlch OnUiam, will malt her first
formal bow to toclety nt ft largo tea which
her father find mother, Dr. nnd Mm. Ed
win Eldon Graham, will give. Lorraine,
who very much resembles her mother,
,ji Ult, slender and graceful. Her dark
brown hair has a beautiful natural wavo
and her eyes, though not perfectly brown
(thiy really ro hotel with golden glints),
give the Impression of brown, which to.
gtther with a vivid coloring Is n most at
tractive combination, you will admit. A
charming set of debbles wilt receive with
Lorralno this afternoon. There will bo
Patty Borle. Isn't It an attractive name?
Bhe was named 'for her patornal grand
mother you know. She wan Miss Patty
Nelll and is ono of tho sweetest women
of that older generation. Besides l'atty
Boric, Detty Bfck will receive and
Nancy Cooke, Violet Welsh, Mary Brooke,
Sophie Baker, Katharine nancock, Lois
Jackson, Katharine Lea, Bessie McMlchael
nnd Betty Miller. Bo thero will be a
galaxy of beauty, dpd grace for the ad
miring elders to gate upon.
There will bo a dlnner-danco In tho eve
ning for the receiving party and several
additional girls and men of the youngor
set.
The small boys were having a- fearful
time last week getting ready for their
year at Bt. Paul's. They liavo to wear
dtrby hats you know, and though the
New Tork boys are used to such apparel
at the ago of ton and twelve, so far,
fortunately, most Philadelphia matrons
Very sensibly dreaa their sons ns boys and
not' caricatures, so It requires some time
to get ready tor boarding school you sec.
Bam Gilbert and Edward Btarr, from nlong
the Iteadlng way, Are going, in fact Mr.
and Mrs. CJUbert aro going up the first of
this week to take Sam with them. It's
good that all tho boys at St. Paul's wear
theso derbies, Isn't It? I'll never forget
what happened to tho smnll son of a well
known matron hero who several years
ago decided, on returning from London,
that sonny should wear an cton suit and
derby hat. Well, sonny was sent to Sun
day school "all dressed Up Uko a soro
finger," and during class tho other boys
only looked, but afterward, oh! afterward;
the sweet young thing who was conduct
ing tho class heard fearful hoots and
yells outside the window and, looking out,
she saw a lighting, struggling heap of
arms, legs, heads and boys and under
neath It all was a fragment of derby hat.
By the door stood tho poor little owner,
weeping. He was Just as disgusted with
that hat as any of the others were, but
he had to go homo and tell It had been
ruthlessly torn from his willing head and
smashed, and glad though he was he
knew his story would not be woll re
ceived. Childish tragedies are very great,
you know, and a small boy's heart is a
poor thing- to handle roughly.
The Women Writers' Club gaye Its much-talked-of
pantomime movie, "Tho Love
Germ," last night, and It wa some scream,
let me tell you, from Btart to finish. Out
of the seven members of tho club who
took part only two wero allowod to re
main of their own sex. Tho five others
madd most attractive men, I assuro you,
and from the opening scono at tho board
ing houso tablo to tho grand finale, which
was supposed to bo a soul kiss of many
feet of film, the audienco was in one con
tinual shriek.
How young America does hato to be
left out" of things. Ono day last week
the small brother of an acquaintance of
mlno In Qermantown happened to over
hear one of his sisters declare she knew
the "up" trains from the "down" trains,
and flve-year-old Tommy, determined not
to be out of the conversation, piped up,
"Oh, yes, I can always tell the 'up' and
Mown' trains, tool
r Sister asked, "Why, how can you tell
them, Tommy?"
Bather disconcerted over having his
bluff called, the young man, however, an
swered bravely, "Why, tho 'up' train Is
UpsaP and tho down t-rnl-n 1-s hero his
little voice trolled off Into space.

HILLY RUMPUS SNORES
By Farmer Smith
All was quiet In Ooatvllle. Tho cat, oven,
was fast asleep outsldo Billy Bumpus's
home. Mrs. Bumpus, however, was mixing
bread In the kitchen, while upstairs Billy
Bumpus, her good husband, was snoring
so loud the rafters shook and the root rose
nnd fell with tho sound of the snoring.
By and by Mrs. Ooat went upstairs. The
noise was terrific Bhe knew she never
could sleep with sucli a racket, so she
upset n chair,
BANO I
"Is that you, wine dearT" a voice came
from out of the darkness.
"Yes, dear."
"Well, I can't go to sleep. I wish you
would give me n sloop powder to make me
Sb to sleep," pleaded Billy,
"You have been asleep a long time, my
dear, Judging by your snoring"
"How did you know I was snoring!"
"I heard you," said Mrs. Bumpus.
"My dear, your ears deceived you, Don't
bo misled that way. I havo been wide
awake wide awake as a chicken hawk.
I'm positive, absolutely positive, that If I
hud been snoring I would have heard my
self snoring.
"Oh, wine dear I You are so easily de
ceived! "Oct me a sleeping powder."
"You need a snoring powder. Snoring
la a disease and tjie only thing that will
cure It Is hot water."
"Give ma some hot water, then," said
Billy.
Mrs. Bumpus went downstairs and soon
returned with a cup of hot, steaming water,
which Billy drank right down, much to tho
amazement of his wife.
Soon Billy was asleep again and snoring
like a freight train engine going up grade.
Knally It became so loud Mrs. Bumpus
woke Billy up and accused him of snoring.
"Snoring? Who's snoring?" asked Billy,
"You hear the steam from that hqt water
escaping through my nose I"
With that Billy went to sleep,

""Y'KS, Its quite true. I Interfered with
J. hH llttlo games, and he gave mo the
usual reward of the devil's apothecary.
Leave Iris nlone. At present she Is strung
.? to nn Inlenso pitch of gratitude, having
bif.ly escaped n terrible fate. Bet her come
back to tho normal, Anstruther's shady rec
ord must gradually leak out That will dl
gun her. In a week she will appeal to you to
buy him off. Ho In hard up cut off by his
people nnd that sort of thing. There you
probably havo the measure of his scheming.
He knows quite well that he can never
marry your daughter. It la all a matter of
price."
Sir Arthur willingly nllowed himself to
be persuaded. At the back of his head thoro
was nn uneasy consciousness that It was
not "all a matter of price." If It wero ho
would never trut a man's face ftgnln. But
Ventnor's writ-balnnccd arguments swayed
him. Tho course Indicated was the only
decent one. It was humanly Impossible for
n man to chldo his daughter and flout her
rescuer within nn hour of finding them.
Lord Ventnor played his cards with a
deeper design. Ho bowed to the Inevitable.
Iris said sho loved his ilval. Very woll.
To attempt to dlmuado her was to throw
her more closely Into that rival's nrms. Tho
rlnht course was to appear resigned, sad
dened, compelled ngalnst his will to reveal
tha distressing truth. Further, he counted
on Anstruthcr'H quick temper as an nctlvo
ngent. Such a man would be the first to
rebel ngalnst nn assumption of pitying
tolerance. He would bring bitter chnrges of
conspiracy, of unbelievable compact to
secure his ruin. All this must recoil on his
own head when tho facts were laid bare.
Not oven the hero of tho Island could pre
vail ngalnst tho tcrrlblo Indlctmont of tho
court-martial Kinnlly. nt .Singapore, three
days distant. Colonel Costobell and his wlfo
were stnylng, I-ord Ventnor. nlone of those
on board, knew this. Indeed, he accom
panied Sir Arthur Beano largely In order
to break off n, somewhat trying entangle
ment. Ho smiled complncently ns ho
thought of tho effect on Iris of Mrs. Costo
bcll's Indignant remonstrances when tho
baronet nuked that Injured lady to tell the
girl all that had happened at Hongkong.
In a word. lxnl Ventnor was most pro
foundly nnnoyed, nnd he cursed Anstruther
from tho depthn of his henrt. But ho could
see u way out. The more desperate tho
emergency tho more need to display finesse.
Above nil, ho must avoid an Immediate
rupture.
Ho enmo ashoro with Iris and her father;
tho captnln of the Orient also joined the
party. Tho three men watched Bobert nnd
tho girl walking toward them from the
group of officers.
"Anstruther Is n smart-looking fellow,"
commented Captain FlUroy. "Who Is he?"
Truth to tell, the gallant commander of
the Orient was Bccrotly nmased by the
motnmorphosls effected In Bobert's appear
nnco nlnco ho scrutinized him through his
glasses. Iris, too. .unaccustomed to the con
straint of hlgh-hcelcd shoes, clung to tho
nondescript's nrm In a manner that shook
the sailor's faith In Bord Ventnor's pre
tensions as her favored suitor.
Poor Sir Arthur said not a word, but his
lordship was quite nt ase
"From his name, and from what Doane
tells mo, I bcllevo ho Is an ex-ofllcer of tho
Indlnn Army."
"Ah. He left tho service?"
"Yes. I met him Inst In Hongkong."
"Then you know him?"
"Quite well. If he Is the man I Imagine."
"That Is really very nice of Ventnor,"
thought tho shipowner. "The Inst thing I
should credit him vrlth would be a forgiving
disposition."
Meanwhile Anstruther was reading Iris
a little lecture "Sweet one," he explnlned
to her, "do not nllude to me by my former
rank. I nm not entitled to It. Some day,
plcaso.Ood, It will be restored to me. At
present 1 am a plain civilian."
"I think you very handsome."
"Don't tease, there's a good girl. It Is

"Hut really, Bobert, only since you
scraped off tho upper crust have I been able
to recognize you ngnln. I remember now
that I thought you were a most distinguished-looking
steward "
"Well, I nm helpless. I cannot oven
squeeze you. By the way, Iris, during the
next few days say nothing about our mine."
"Oh. why not?"
"Just a personal whim. It will please
me."
"If it pleases you, Bobert, I am satis
fied." i
Ho pressed her nrm by way of nnswer.
They were too near to the waiting trio for
other comment.
"Captain Fltzroy." cried Iris, "let me
Introduce Mr Anstruther to you. Lord
Ventnor, you have met Mr. Anstruther be
fore." Tho snllor shook hands. Bord Ventnor
smiled nffnbly.
Your enforced resldenco on the Island
seems to havo agreed with you," ho said.
"Admirably. Life here had Its draw
backs, but wo fought our enemies tn the
open. Didn't we, Iris?"
"Yes, dear. The poor Dyaks wero not
sufficiently modernized to attack us with
fnlso testimony."
His lordship's snllow face wrinkled Bome

world that this mnn wss her lover. As for
Captain Fltzroy, his bushy eyebrows dis
appeared Into his pesked cap when he heard
th) manner of their speech.
Nevertheless, Ventnor smiled ngaln.
"Even the Dyaks respected Miss Doane,"
ho said.
But Anstruther, sorry for the manifest
uneasiness of the shipowner, repressed the
retort on his lips, nnd forthwith suggested
thnt they should walk to the north beach In
the first Instance, that being the scene of the
wreck.
During the next hour ho became auditor
rnUier than narrator. It was Iris who told
of his wild fight against wind and waves.
Iris who showed them where he fought
with the devilfish, Iris who expatiated on
the long days of ceaseless toll, his dauntless
courage In the face of every difficulty, the
way In which ho rescued her from tho clutch
of the savages, tho skill of his preparations

great achievement of all. when, time after

hours' battle.
She had an attentive audience. Most of
tho Orient's officers quietly came up and
followed the girl's glowing recital with
breathless Interest. Bobert vainly endeav

thrilling eulogy. But she would have none
of It. Her heart was In her words. He
deserved this tribute of praise, unstinted,
unmeasured, abundant In Its simple truth,
yet sounding Uko a legend spun by some
romantic poet, were not line grim evidences
of Its accuracy visible on every hand.
She was so volubly clear, so precise In
fact, so Bubtle In her clever delineations of
humorous or tragic events, that her father
was astounded, and even Anstruther sl
lontly admitted that a man might live until
he equaled the yearn of a Biblical patriarch
without discovering all tho resources of a
woman.
Thero were tears In her eyes when she
onded ; but they were tears of thankful hap
piness, and Lord Ventnor, a silent listener
who missed neither word nor look, felt a
deeper chill In his cold heart as he realised
that this woman's love could never be his.
The knowledge excited his passion the met.
His hatred of Anstruther now became a
mania, an Insensate resolve to mortally stab
this meddler who always stood lrt hi path.
Bobert hoped that his present ordeal was

Why had the tunnel been mads? What
was the mystery of the Valley of Death?
How did he manage to guess the dimensions'
of the sun dial? How camo he to acquire

He readily explained the creation of
