MRS. WILLIAM HAYKS will give a
theatre party, this afternoon, fol
lowed by tea at the' Bellevue-Stratford,
for her son, young Blllle Hayes. The
guests will be entirely of tho school set, of
.course, and will Include Charlotte Starr,
Elolse Warrlner, Evelyn Page, Marlanna
.ponnell, Edward Wilson., Aiken Uelchner
and Louis Giove,
THEN' we have the meeting of Mrs.
Scott's Supper Club, at tho Bellevuo
Btratford, which Is being held In the Rose
Gardens, and for which a number ot par
ties have been planned tonight. Mrs.
Edward K. Sparks, who Is giving a dinner
for Kitty Bache. of New York, who Is
lsltlng Catherine Cassard, will tako her
luests later to the Supper Club, for cer
tainly the dancing Is one great tempta
tion, o say the least. The Davis Orches
tra Is hard to beat, don't you think?
WELL, my dear, there will bo another
rummage sale at tho Halo Building,
and It Is to bo held during Holy Week
, 'and will be for the benefit of tho
!'t Jefferson Hospital. 1 wonder If the
"Diving Venus" will turn up at this nf
'falr? You know the kind I mean. You
usually see her perched over a soda foun
tain, inclosed In glass, nnd sprny is play
ing on her pale blue Annette Kellermann.
Well, without tho caw and minus the
pray, Venus has appeared nt pretty
nearly every rummage sale given In this
city so far, and let me tell you she Is
awful to get rid of. Ono of the women
Interested In these sales tells m that at
ene time, despairing of selling my lady
Venus, she tied her up In a bundle and
sold her for an unknown package; when
,Io and behold' tho next time a sale was
totten up a strangely familiar package
arrived and It was her lot to open It. Do
fll exaggerate when I say she went into a
mild form of hysterics immediately? The
; last time Venus appeared she found an
admirer, however, but the price was too
high. The admirer was able to pay only
j2 and the hard-hearted "salesladies" In
sisted on $3. If A'enus nppears at this
ale, which opens on April 3, It sure will
be a scream. NANCY WYNNE.

A TIMELY BOOK
on the Present National Crisis
Theodore Roosevelt's Opinion
OF '
"The War and
Humanity"
A Notable Sequel to "The Evidence in the Case"
By
James M. Beck
"I most earnestly hope that there will be a wide cir
culation of Mr. Beck's 'War and Humanity.' It is the
kind of a book which every self -respecting. American, who
loves his country, should read. I believe that its circulation
throughout the whole land would have a very real effect
in educating public opinion as to the duty of America in
this great world crisis. There must be a keen sense of inter
national duty, and of the shamefulness of neglecting this
duty. Such is the spirit Americans ought to possess, and
this book of Mr. Beck's is a potent aid in the creation of
such a spirit." Theodore Roosevelt.
