There will be fortune-tellers' booths nd amusements of all sorts and, of eourte. "Eats." Do you know It seems to me every dav I have to tell something tbout "Eats." Strange how they appeal to one, Isn't it? Mrs. E. I. Bacon and Mrs. David Smi ley are among tho efficient women on the executive committee who are aiding Mrs. Asbury In every way to make the affair a huge success. Mrs. Asbury tells me that the chil dren's playground Is to be simply won derfulpony cart rides, toboggans everything ou ever heard of to enter tain a child with, and the movie Is a brand-new one. which' h.i3 not yet been iten. The film thereof Is to be exhibited In town next week. They have a doll dressed as a Bed Cross nurse, which has been named by Monsieur Jean .lusserand, French Am bassador to America, and a blooded bull pup and a gold bracelet on chances, and joodne?s knows what else. As for the supper in the garden, more than 700 tickets have already been taken, to you know what may be expected. Should the weather prove wet and rainy the affair will be postponed until Friday, .and If Friday is a bad day. It will be held Indoors In the school hall. M AFUOniE WISTAR CAXBY. daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. William Marriott Canby, made her formal bow to the world this afternoon at a garden party at Thornelawn. the Canbys' place in Ger Siantown. Marjorie. you know. Is a daughter of Xtr. Canhv bv bis first wife, who was ft Miss Edith Wlstar. and is related to the Morris family. The present Mrs. Canby Has Miss Leila Kurtz. At first the "at home'' was to have been given on June 12. but for tome rea ion be3t known to themselves the date fc was changed to June 27. Among those ho received with Mrs. Canby were Mrs. Dlllwyn Wlstar. Mrs. Horatio C. Wood, Mrs. Morris Wls tar. Miss Elizabeth Cnnljy MonK Mrs. N. K. Baker. Miss Katharine Wharton Morris. Ethel Nawbold. Helen Husted. Elirabeth Husted, Marlon Baker, Eliza- beth Castle, Jane Maulc. Miriam Butler. of Glen Mills; Martha Chase, of concord, Mass.; Emily Whitney, of Wayland, Mass., and Esther Ward, of Wilmington. There Is to be Informal dancing after 'e the tea for the members of the iccelving party, to which additional men guests t have been bidden. Today's party to In- j, troduce Marjorie marks the second debu- i tante affair for the year 1917-1918. I r wonder if there will be many more. I So many mothers and fathers who had planned to introduce their daughters next fall are about giving up tho idea. In the first place, there will be no men to dance i with at the parties by then, and very I few of the girls seem to be willing to give themselves over to a year of frivolity and enjoyment when their brothers, weethearts and friends will either be In the trenches or training for them. It's hard to tell what may happen. God srant It may soon be over! I LISTEN, my dears, to the rrlerry little ' tale I shall tell you of the father of a young man of. six weeks of age. who, K when the young man first made his ap. M Pearance, strutted proudly about highly h w(mMfu ol ule weiglll VI ins imimum ".we. ttvery aay ne nurneo nome eariy to play with his son, and every day his on proceeded to sleep soundly when he f approached.

But coo and goo at him though he would, small son would 1 open his eyes sleepily, and then close them again after giving him an entranc . Ine smile. Finally small son must have ; lot tired of being expected to amuse Father, and so he decided quite recently to stay awake to please him. How was 'f he to know that to stay awake from 10 ,P. m, till 6 a. m. was any different from ' W a.m. to 6 p. m. Well, from all I hear. there never was a more desperate man. ;Hi walked the floor with him, he poured rm water down his little throat. te We him peppermint for colic, he did verythlng he and his young wife had Mr heard of, giving a baby, and still 'mall son kept it up. Finally. In a trem- Mlnr Voice. Father aM- T)li! Ik vitv Went going to be like this?

When this club undertakes to entertain it does it to a finish, IK me tell you. and ever since the costume dinner, when tho committee, arrived on Halloween dressed as black canton flannel cats and waving long tails made of wire blid-cage hold ers pulled to extreme length, It has been hard to tell what it will do next. There was a rumor afoot that there would be a circus tomorrow night, hut the lady who was strong min at the last Jollification refused "posllutely" to ap pear.

Sho was Miss Celeste Massey, a sister of Mrs. Diayton, who is also a .great lover of music. Mrs. Hcckscher hns been piesldent of the Philadelphia Operatic Society for the last two jears, nnd It Is quite won derful what strides have been made under her presidency. She ha Interested the right people In the society and has been more than a willing sponsor of every per formance given. She has written a num ber of orchestra pieces. Mrs. Perrln Is a niece of Stevens Heck scher, whose marriage to the stunning Mrs. Mark Hopkins caused quite a stir this spring, because we had all come to believe he was a thoroughly settled wid ower. Her younger sister, Miss Nannie Heckscher, who came out two seasons ago, married Dick Newbold last fall. Mrs. Perrln returned to New York this week. IT AVE you heard the latest thing Nancy Hallow ell Is doing? Sho is the daugh ter. ou know, of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Fraley Hallowcll, of Stanbaugh, Wayne, and made her debut several seasons ago. Quite recently sh organized the Girl Scouts of Wayne, and Is their scout mas ter, and already they have about thirty members. And she is teaching them to swim, and every afternoon trots them all up to the lake at Walmarthan, the Walton place at St. Davids, and gives them a lesson. On Friday It was her scouts that paraded with the Red Cross of Wayne dressed as little Red Cross nurses. Nancy Is in everything She really is a wonder plays on the team at the St Davids Golf Club, has taken the course of first-aid at the Red Cross and expects eventually to be sent to France. She teaches a nlsht class in physical culture at the Radnor High School, nnd It was entirely through her efforts that the alumnae of the Radnor High School re celved nn anonymous gift of J10.000 this ear. which enabled the faculty to pre sent two college scholarships nt the com mencement last Wednesday evening. She a interested in church work, suffrage and, In fact, everything of public interest, indeed, she Is quite a remarkable all round person for one so joung.

From the edge of the wood Dalroy looked down on the river, the railway, and the little town Itself He saw Instantly lhat the whole district "imlh of the Mouso was strongly held by the Invaders. Three arches of a fine stone bridge had been destroyed, evidently by the retleatlng IlelRlans : but pontoons were in position to take Its place Twice already had Belgian artillery cle jtroved the. enemy s work and not even a professional soldier could guess that the nuns of the defense were only awaiting a heller light to amash the pontoons a third time. In fact, barely half a mile to the right of the wood, a hatterv of four 5 !'s was posted on high ground. In the hope that the Belgian guns of smaller caliber might he located and crushed at once Rven while the two stood looking down Into the valley, a sputtering rifle fire broke out across the river, three hundred yards wide at the bridge, and the volume of musketry steadily Increased Men, horse, wagons and motors swarmed on the roadway or sheltered behind warehouses on the quays As a soldier. Palroy was amazed at the Mieed and annihilating completeness of the German mobilization Indeed he was chagrined by It. it seemed so ndmlrable. so thoroughly thought out in each detail, so unapproachable hy any other nation In Its pitiless efficiency He did not know then that the vaunted Trusslan-made mili tary machine depended for Its motive power largely on treachery and espionage. To ward the cloae of Jul.v. many da-s before war was declared. Germany had secretly massed 900.000 men on the frontiers of ti.tsMum and tho Ouchy of Luxembourg. Her armies, therefoie. had gathered like felons, and were led by master thieves In the persons of thousands nf German officers domiciled In both countries In the guise of peaceful traders. Single-minded person that he was. Dal rov at once focused his thoughts on the Immediate problem. A small stream leaped down from the wood to the Meuse Short of a main road bridge Its turbulent course was checked by a mill dam. and there was some reason to believe that the mill might be Joos's. The building seemed a prosper ous place, with its two giant wheels on dif ferent levels, Its ample granaries, and a sub stantial house It was Intact, too, and somewhat apart from the actual line of battle. At any rat, though the transition was the time-honored one from the frying nan to the fire, In that direction lay food, shelter and human beings other than Ger mans, so he determined to go there without further delay. His main purpose now was to lodge his companion with' some Belgian family until the tide of war had swept far to the west For himself, he meant to cross the enemy's l.nes by hook or crook, or lose his life In the attempt "One more effort." "ie said, smiling con fidently into Irene's somewhat pallid face. "Tour uncle Jives below there I fancy. Tsr're about ttvcwun ni pospuaiiiy ,Ht bW th rill, bijoctt aud tartrldfts 1 .

Hut the expectoration, no less thnn the lilting tone, lent the words a far deeper meaning Palroy was reassuied "Are you Mon sieur Henri Joos"" he said " y." "Thla lad.v and I have crime from Alx-la-fhapelle with your man, Maertz " "Oh. he's alive, then?" "I hope so Bui may o not enter?" Joos eyed the onglnp cleaner's official cap and soiled clothea, and hia suspicious gaze Itaveled to Palroy's well-fitting nnd ex pensive boots. "Who the deuce nre you?" he snapped "I'll tell you It you let us come In ' "1 can't hinder you. It Is an order, nil doors must he left open." Still, he made way though ungraciously. The refugees found themselves In a spacious kitchen, a comfortably and cleanly place, Piitih In Its colorings and generally spick-and-span aspect A comely woman of mid dle age and a plump. cnod-lnoMng girl about as old as Irene, weie seated on an oak bench beneath a window They were clinging to each other and had evidently" listened fearfully to the brief conversation without The only signs of disorder In the room were supplied by a quantity of empty wine bottles drinking mugs, soiled plates and cutlery, spread on a broad table Irene sink Into one of a half a dozen chairs which had apparently been used by the feasters. Joos chuckled. His laugh had an ugly sound. "I'lty you weren't twenty minutes sooner." he guffawed "You'd have had compiny, pleasant company, visitors from across the frontier." "I, too, have crossed the frontier." said Irene, a wan smllo lending pathos to her beauty "I traveled with Germans from Berlin If I saw a German now I think I should die " Al that Madame Joos lose, "falm thy self. Henri." he said "These people are friends ' ' Maybe." retorted her husband. He turned on Palroy with surprising energy, seeing that he wa3 some twenty years older than his wife "Vou tay that you came with Maertz" he went on "Where Is he? He has been absent four days." By this time Palroy thought he had taken the measure of his man Ts'o matter what the outcome to himself personally. Miss Bcresford inut he helped She could go tiu farther without food and rest. He risked everything on the spin nf a coin "Wo are Kngllsli." he said, speaking very slowly and distinctly, so that each syllable should pene trate the combined brains of the Joos fam ily "We were only trying to leave Ger many, meaning harm to none, but were ar restod as spies at Alx-la-fhapelle We es caped by a rue 1 knocked a man silly and took some of his clothes. Then we hap pened on Maertz at a corner of Franz Strasse, and persuaded him to Klve us a lift We Jogged along all right until we reached the crogfctoads beyond the hill there." nnd he pointed In the direction of the wood. "A German officer refused to allow us to pass hut a motor transport knocked the wagon over and this lady and I were thrown Intr. a field. We cot away In the confusion and made for a cowshed lying well back from the road and on he slope of the hill At that point my frelnd fainted, luckily fot herself, because when I examined the shed I found the corpse of an old woman there She had evidently been about to milk a black-and-white cow when she was bayo neted by a German soldier " He vvas Interrupted hy a choking sob from Madame Joos, who leaned a hand on the table for support. In pose and features she would have served as a model for Hans Memllns'i "portrait" of Saint Klliabeth, which In happier days used to adorn the hospital at Bruges. "The Widow Jaqulnot," she gasped. "Of course, madame. I don't know the poor creature's name, I was wondering how to act for th. best when two soldiers came to thv stable I heard what they were saying One of them admitted (hat he had stabbed the old woman: his words also Im plied that he and his comrade had violated her granddaughter So I picked up a mltk Ing stool and killed both of them I took one of their rifles, which, with Its bayonet and a numbsr of cartridges.

But I do ask you, as Christian people, to safeguard this young Kngllsh lady, and, when condi tions permit' and she has recovered her strength, to guide her into Holland unless: lhat Is, these German beasts are attacking the Dutch, too." For a brief space there was silence. Dal rop looked fixedly at Joos, trying lo read Irene Reresford's fate In those black, glow ing eyes The womenfolk were won al ready . but well he knew that In this Bel gian nook the patriarchal principle that a man Is lord nnd master In his own house would find unquestioned acceptance He was aware that Irene's gaze was riveted on him In a strangely magnetic way It was one thing that he should say calmly. "So I pieked up a milking stool and killed both of them hut quite another thai Irene should visualize In the light of her rare Intelli gence the epic torce nf the tragedy enacted white she lay unconscious In the depths of a hedgerow Dalroy could tell. Heaven known how that her very soul was peering at htm In that tense moment he knew that he was her man forever Hut surglt aniarl allqtiltl ' A wave of bitterness welled up from heart to brain because of Ihe convic tion that If he would.

' It waa the miller hlmetf who first broke 'he spell cast on the curiously assorted i group hy Dalroy's story. He stretched out I a hand and took the pail "This Is fresh 1 milk ' he said, examining the tlrfgs.

No After" Grand Pleu doqht " you're nngllsh. without Joos turned the pall upside down, apprais ing it critically "Ves." ho said. "It's one of Pupont's I remember her buying it. She gave him fifty kilos of potatoes for It. ."he stuck him, he said Half the potatoes were black. A rare hand nt a bargain, the Veuve Jaqulnot And she's dead you tell me bayonet thrust?" Two." Madame Joos hurst Into hysterical sob bing Her husband whl.ed round on her with tlt.it singular alertness of movement which was one of his most marked char acteristics "Peace, wifo '" he snapped. "Isn't that what we're all coming to? What matter to Puponi now whether the potatoes were black or sound?" Palmy guessed that Pupont was the Ironmonger of Vise He was Raining a glimpse ton of the Indomitable soul of Belgium Thnueh I'ehlne for Information, he checked the impulse, because llmo pressed horribly "Well." he ald. "will you do what you can for the lady? The Germans have spired you. Vou have fed them They may treat you decentlv. I'll mako It worth w bile I have plenty nf money " Irene stood up "Monsieur," she said, nnd her voice was sweet no the song of a robin, "it Is Idle to speak of saving one without thp other Where Monsieur Palroy goes I go If he dies. I die " For the first time since entering the mill Palroy dared to look at her In the sharp, crisp light of advancing day her blue eyes held a tint nf violet Tear-drops glistened In the long lashes, hut she smiled wistfully, as thnueh pleading for forgiveness "That Is sheer nonsense," he cried In 1'ngltsh. making a miserable failure of the anger he tried to assume "You ought to be tpnsonahly safe here By Insisting on re maining with me ynti deliberately sacrifice both our lives That Is, I mean" be added hastily, aware of a flip, "you prevent me, too, from taking the chance of escape that offers " ' If that were o I would not thrust my self on you," she answered "But I know tho Germans I know how they mean to wage wat They make no secret of it They intend to stri!:e terror Into every heart nt the outset They nre not men. hut super,-brutcs Vnu saw Von Ilalwlg at Berlin, and again at Alx-la-i'hapelle.

"Curse them In lifts and In death man. woman nnd child I What has Belgium done that she should be harried by a pack nf wolves? Who can say what wolves will do?" Joos was nholl with vitriolic passion There was no knowing how long this tirade might have gone nn had not a speckled hen stalked firmly In through the open door with obvious nnd settled Intent to break fast on crumbs ' Ciel ' ' cackled the orator "Not a fowl vvas fed overnight"' In real life, as on the stage, comedy and tragedy oft go hand in hand But the speckled hen deserved a good meal Her entrance undoubtedly stemmed the flood tide of her owner's patriotic wrath, and thus enabled the Ave people In the kitchen to overhear a hoarse cry from the roadway "HI. there, drummer Ksel ' whither goest thou? This Is Joos's mill " "Quick, Leontine !" cried Joos. "To the second loft with them' Sharp, now!" In this unexpected crisis Palroy could neither protest nor refuse to accompany the girl, who led him nnd Irene up a back stair and through a well-stored granary to a ladder which communicated with a vtrap door "I'll bring you some coffee nnd egga as soon ns I can." she whispered. "Draw up the ladder, and close the door It's not so bad up there There s a window, hut take. care you aren't seen May be. ' sho added tremulously, "you are safer than we now."

His brow vvas seamed with fore boding, as despite his desire to leave his companion In the care of the miller's household, he had nn in stinctive feeling that he was acting unwise ly Moreover, like every free man, he pre ferred to seek the open when In peril. Now he felt himself caged. Therefore be vvas amazed when Irene laughed softly "How teadlly you trans late Browning Into French!" she said He gazed at her In wonderment Less than nn hour ago she had fainted under the stress of hunger and dread, yet here she was talking as though they had met In the breakfast fnom of ap Cnglish country house He would have said something, but the ancient mill trembled under the sudden crash of artillery The roof creaked, the panes of glass In the dormer window rattled and fragments of mortar fell from the walls L'nmldful. for the moment, of Leon tine Joos's warning.
