mUE third debutante tea of the week
Xwllt bo out on tho Main Une today,
..a Katharine Honcock, daughter ot Mr,
and Mr. James Hancock, will N tho dob
4- k. introduced this time. Tho tea will
" be lvn ftt the Kndnor 'unt c'u,, nni1
t believe It It tho first debutante tea
that has ever been given at that most
attractive of clubhouses, and tho Idea
certainly seems good to me. It's so much
wg troiiblo to glvo n, party away from
the home. Just think of tho bliss of
feeing ble to Jump Into your motor nnd
ride home after an afternoon and evening
of receiving and bowing and scraping
nd dancing, and not even havo to think
to have all cleared nwny, but to nnd tho
house quiet and no signs of the late
jubilation I It Is a great Idea, bellcvo me I
Katlwrlno will bo urroiindd by a bevy
ot other dcb3, figuratively speaking. Sho
It a cousin, you know, of Carollno and
Blpney Brlnton, who camo out year be
fore last, and May Urlnton Is nnothcr
couln. Katharine has bcn'for the last
veral years at school at St. Mary's.
en-the-Hudson, an Anglican convent
school conducted by the Sisters tit St.
Mary, which has become very fashion
able of Into. Betty Urock Is another
debutante who went to school there: so
did Bessie Downs, who camo out last
year, and Hcleno Martin and Elizabeth
Thompson, and scores of others.
The tea this nfternoon will be at 5
o'clocte. and the, girls In tho receiving
party will bo Suzauno Elliot, Katharine
Lea, Elizabeth Packard, Mary Tackard,
' Betty Brock, Violet Welsh, Betty Miller,
Nancy Cook, Lorralno Graham, Mary
Brooke, Harriet Middle, Patty Borle.
Eophle Bakor and Anno Walker Melrs.
not Wain nor Wetglitman ob various per.
sons designate her. Sho Is named after
her greataunt, Anno "Welghtman Walker
Penfleld, so it is well to get the namo
straight.
Mr. and Mrs. Hancock Will give a ball
at tho Bellevue-Strntford on Thursday
evening, December 21, for Katharine:
There seem to bo no end of balls for the
coming winter, after all; Indeed, so far
It seems as If there would 1)3 inoro even
than last year, and last year thero were
some few, you wilt ndmlt.
Then this evening thero will be tho
dinner-dance at tho Philadelphia Coun
try Club which Mr. Sydney Wright and
Mrs. William Anthony Piatt are to glvo
. for Emily Harris. Mrs. Piatt will, of
course, not be present owing to tho death
of Mr. Charles Piatt, Jr., which occurred
oa Tuesday of this week, so Mr, Wright
and Miss Pepper will do the receiving.
Tomorrow Mr. Chambers and Katharine
and Christine will give a tea $u- Emily
Harris, who will spend tho greater part
of the winter hero with Mr. Sydney
Wright, who is her greatune'e.
Each llttlo bride as sho comes along
naturally thinks her wedding the only
one that over van and her fiance the
only lover that ever lived, so to speak,
ibut she docs not initially express It In
words. Still very few aro what might
be called responsible when attacked by
the "grande passion," and so we aro not
astonished at what sho proclaimed at tho
PoitoBlco last week. She was very par
ticular about her Invitations and Insisted
on mailing them herself, so she had the
chauffeur drive her in to Ninth and
Chestnut 'streets, and while he was hand
ing tho letters out to the man ut the
door this very particular young bride-to-be
said, "I want you to know these
are first-class Invitations." Now, what
ever did she mean? Of course, wo nil
know sho Is tho luckiest girl In tho
world, having discovered tho only man
Worth having, but still first-class matter
does not always mean first-class lnvlta-'
tions, does it? However, wo must for
give her, because she Is "way, way off
in a little world of her own," from which
I hope she will not soon awaken if she
must awaken eventually. 8o let her
tnjoy It while she may.
The market day and country fair and
alphabetical effect, whatever It all Is,
' which is to be given for the benefit of St.
Francis's Home for Convalescents nt
Darby, opened this morning at 10 o'clock
, and will contlnuo tomorrow also. Tho

GEIUIAKTOWX CELEBRATES
232D BIRTHDAY TODAY
Pastorius Drought First Settlers Over
in 1C83
Germantown Is 232 years old today. It
Is the anniversary of tho landing of tho
first party of German settlers who landed
on the continent In 1CS3.
They came to this country to nvold a
bitter religious persecution and organized
tho Frankford Land Company, purchasing
a tract of land from William Penn. Francis
Daniel PnsOornJH, who led tho colony to
America and who wns Its recognized leader
and law giver, directed the negotiations.
Thirteen families from the Palatinate, who
were known as Crefelters, established a
community which Pastorius named Ger
manapolls, or Germantown, by reason of
the nationality of tho settlers.
The settlers were of nn extremely In
dustrious type and within a few years
after tho (Into of the landing had estab
lished plaiVs for tho manufacture of numer
ous articles. The community rapidly be
came known ns a center of Industry.
The old custom of celebrating tho anni
versary has been abandoned by the present
residents of Germantown. The day goes
by unnoticed by a large portion of the
population.
Tioga Business Men Elect
At tho annual meeting of tho Tioga Busi
ness Men's Association last night, at 3543
Germantown avenue, the following officers
were elected: President. Wilbur II. Zim
merman ; vice presidents.Thomas Bluett and
Edward Snyder, Jr.; secretury, Matthew
Donoho: financial secretary, Edgar A. Hob
son, and treasurer, Jacob Loux. Tho asso

CIIAPTnil XVI (Continued)
THE Orient was due In Singapore that nft
ernoon. Iris was Invited Into the chart
room on some pretext, and Lieutenant Play
don, delegated hy tho comtnaiwer and the
first lieutenant, buttonholed Robert.
With sallordlke directness he enmo
straight to tho point
"A few of us have been talking about
you. Anstruther, nnd wo cannot be fat
wrong In assuming that you are hard tip.
The fact that you took a steward's Job on
the Sirdar shows your disinclination to ap
peal to your own people for fund. Now.
onco you are ashore, you will bn landed In
dlRlcuItlos. To cut any further explana
tions, I am commissioned to offer you n
loan of fifty pounds, which you can repay
when you like."
Robert's mouth tightened somewhat. For
tho moment ho could not find words. Play
don feared ho was offended.
"I nm sorry, old chop, If wo are mis
taken," he said hesitatingly i "but we really
thought"
"Plense do not endeavor to explain away
your gencrou act." exclaimed Anstruther.
"I accept It thankfully, on ono condition,"
"Blow the condition. But whnt Is It?"
"That you tell mo tho name of Ihoso to
Whom I am Indebted besides yourself"
"Oh, that Is easy enough. Fltsroy and
the first luff aro tho others. Wo kept It
to a small circle, don't ou know. Thought
you would prefer that."
Anstruther Vmlled and wrung his hand
Thero were some good fellows left In the
world after all Tho three olllcers acted
In pure good nature. Thoy were assisting
a man apparently down In his luck, who
would soon be railed on to face other dif
ficulties by reason ot his engagement to a
girl apparently an far removed from him In
station. And the last thing they dreamed
of was that their kindly loan was destined
to yled them a better return than all tho
years of their naval serlct. for their fifty
pounds hnd gone Into tho pocket of n po
tential millionaire, who was endowed with
tho faculty, rare In millionaires, of not for
getting tho friends of his poverty-stricken
days.

Ilalnliavr lalnml Asnlii Ami Afterward
SIR ARTHUR DEANE was sitting alone
In his cabin In a state of deep dejec
tion, when he waa aroused by a knock, and
Robert entered. .
"Can you glvo me half nn hour?" ho
naked. "I hnvo something to say to yea
before wo land,"
The shipowner silently motioned hhn to a
soat
"It concerns Iris and myself," continued
Anstruther. "I gathered from your words
when wo met on the Island that both you
and Lord Ventnor regarded Iris as his
lordship's promised bride. From your point
of view the arrangement was perhaps
natural nnd equitable, but slnre your
daughter left Hongkong It happens that sho
and I hmo fallen In love with each other.
No; pleaeo listen to me. 1 nm not here to
urge my claims on you. I won her fairly
and Intend to keep her. were tho whnlo
House of Peers opposed to me. At this
moment I want to tell you. her father, liy
sho could never, even under other circum
stances, marry Iord Ventnor."
Then he proceeded to placo before tho
astounded baronet a detailed history of his
recent career. It was a sordid story of
woman's perfidy, twlco told. -It carried con
viction In overy sentence.
At the conclusion Sir Arthur bowed his
head between hla hands.
"I cannot chooso but believe you," he
admitted huskily. "Yet how tamo you to
be so unjustly convicted by n tribunal com
posed of your brother ofllccrst"
'They could not help themselves. To
acquit me meant that they discredited tho
Bworn testimony not ohly of my colonel's
wlfo, but ot the civil head of an Important
government mission, not to mention some
bought Chinese evidence. Am I the first
man to be offered up as a sacrifice on the
altar of official expediency?"
"Rut you nro powerless now. You can
hardly hope to have your case revised.
What chance la there that your name will
ever be cleared?"
"Mrs. Costobell can do It If she will. The
vagaries of such a woman are not to bo
depended on. If Lord Ventnor has cast her
off, her hatred may provo st longer than
her passion. Anyhow, I should be tho last
man to despair of God's rrovldenco. Com
paro the condition of Iris and myself today
with our plight during the second night on
the ledge!
"I refuse to believe that a bad and
fickle woman can resist the workings of
destiny, and It was a happy fate which led
me on board the Sirdar, though at tho time
I saw It In another light."
"I hope your faith will be Justified. If
It be not tho more likely thing to happen

Anstruther rose and opened tho door

"hen I como to you nnd nsk you for her.
which I pray may bo soon. It will bo time

Thus, for a little while, these two were

Olven back to him! For what to marry
that black-hearted scoundrel whose past
time wns the degradation of women and
tho defaming of honest men? That settled
It. Instnntly tho cloud was lifted froru hit
soul. A great peace came ujion him. The
ruin of his business he might not be nbl
to nvert, but he would save from tho wreck
that which ho prised more than nil else
his daughter's love.
The engines dropped to half speed they
wero entering the harbor of Singapore. In
a few hours tho worst would bo over. If
Ventnor teh-graphed to London his with
drawal from tho board, nothing short of a
cabled draft for ten thousand pounds would
prevent certain creditors from tiling n bank
ruptcy petition. In the locnl banks the
baronet had about a thousand to his credit.
Surely among tho rich merchants of the
port, men who knew the potentialities of his
scheme, lie would be ablo to raise the
money needed. He would try bard. Al
ready he felt braver. Tho old lire had
returned to his blood, The cry belief
thnt ho was acting In the way beBt calcu
lated to secure his daughter's happiness
stimulated and encouraged htm.
He went on deck to meet Iris skipping
down the hatchway.
"Oh. there you are!" sho crlod. "I was
Just coming to tlnd out why you wero
moping In your cabin. You ura missing the
most beautiful vlow nil greens nnd blues
nnd browns! Itun, tmlck! I wnnt you to
sc overy Inch of It."
Sho held out her hand nnd pulled him
gleefully up the steps. Leaning against
the tnlTratl, somo distance apart from each
other, wero Anstruther and Lord Ventnor.
N'ced It bo said to whom Iris drew her
father?
"Hero he Is. llobert." she laughed. "J
do believe ho was sulking because Captain
Fltsroy was so very attentive to me. Yet
you didn't mind it a bit!"
Tho two men looked Into each other's
eyes. They smiled. How could they resist
the contnglon of her sunny nature?
"I havo been thinking over what you
snld to mo Juot now, Anstruther," said tho
shipowner slowly.
"Oh!" cried Iris. "Havo you two been
talking secrets behind my bnck?"
"It Is no secret to you my llttlo girl "
Her father's volco lingered on the phrase.
"When wo are on shore, llobert, I will ex
plain matters to you more fully. Just now
I wish only to toll you that whero Iris
tiniiiiiie:i iH
has g)rw tier heart 1 will ot rertaat
hn4."
Tou darling eld 4t AiHI la that
an tne mystery waa asoutT"
Sho took his, face between Shir
ana Kissea mm. Lerfl ventnor.
m mis enusireness, strolled forwa,
"What has happened, MIm DwMf fc
Inquired. "Have you Just dluuanajM wta
nn excellent parent you poeeeaaT
The baronet laughed, almost haaUl luajly.
" Ton my honor," he cried, "ye aaajM not
have hit npon a happier exptanMtoa."
His lordship wns not quite mtMad.
"X suppose you will take Iris te akal
Hotel?" he said with cool Impttdenea.
ins answered him.
"Yes, My father has Just
ert to come with us by Inference, that a
wnere are you going!"
That adroit us; of her lover's Chita. lam
namo goaded hla lordship to sudden lift.
"Indeed!" he snarled. "Sir Art
Denne haa evidently decided a good.nMmy
things during tho last hour."
"Yes," was the shipowner's qtet retort
"I have decided that my daughter's Hap
piness should bo tho chief consideration erf
my remaining years. All else mttat fir
way to It"
The Earl'a swarthy face grew iialWNr
with fury. His eyes biased and there wm '
a tenso vibrato In hlr voice ns he said!
"Then I must congratulate you, Mas
Deane. You are fated to endure ad r set- '
Hires. Having escaped from the melo
dramatic perils ot Halnbow Island, you are
destined to experience another variety of
shipwreck here."
He left them. Not a word had Robert
f.poken throughout the unexpected aeena.'
Hla heart was throbbing with a tremutoua
Joy, and hla lordship's sneers were lost on
him. Ilut he could not fall to note b
malignant purpose of the parting sentence.
In his quietly masterful way he plaeed
his hand on tho baronet's shoulder.
"What did Lord Ventnor meanr ha
asked.
