It Is being given by tho Ladles' Aid of Mount Hermon Methodist Eplscopat Church, Nineteenth and Porter streets, the only church right In the Girard Farms, and Is the first affair of Its kind In many years In this particular section.

This boy problem Is wefl worth studying, for who can understand tho working of a boy's mind? Two bright pupils In tho Philadelphia Normal School, ardent stu dents of nature, spent several weeks of their vacation nt Pitman, N. J. While walking along a beautiful lano one day, admiring th varied colorings of the but terflies, they saw a small boy kneeling by tho stump of a treo and gazing Intently at something In tho hollow stump. Said small boy had been sent to tho storo for bread, as two loaves under his arm testified to his mission. "Look at that youngster, how interested ho is In something growing there," said one of the girls. "Let's see what It Is I" DINNER AND DANCE FOR GERMANTOWNGIRL They looked In the stump and saw a spider's web with a snowy-white ball In the center.

"Yes, nnd ln't It truly wonderful that beautiful white silken ball Jut ready to open and send all the little baby spiders out In the world to look after themselves?" Tho boy stood up, fastened tho bread firmly under his arm and scornfutly remarked: "Gee, you know n lot! White egg nothing! That's a pebblo I threw In to break tho web." .

One had become so used to seeing men In uniform about tho streets; and somehow It gavo ono a comfortable feel ing, for, as long ns they wero here, you knew they wero safe, but now that they are gone, you can't help worrying about them. Thero was great excitement In the town the night the Third Infantry left. There is no need to say which night that was, fnr everv slnclo person In Lansdowne knows that it was Wednesday. If nothing clfee told you, your ears certainly would havo, for all over you could hear the fire station's weird Blrcn-whlstlc, which blew, and blew, and blew, as the soldiers marched down tho street. But unfortu nately their trains wero delayed. A ten hours' wait Is no short one, but tho boys wero altogether cheerful about It. But then they seem to bo satisfied with every thing, do they not? When tho rain pours down or tho wind whistles no, not " 'round tho chimney" but 'round nnd through tho khaki tents or anything else unpleasant happens, they make tho best ot It. nnd tell you that It all goes with a soldier's life. Tho Lansdowners wero determined to mako that long wait Just as pleasant as they possibly could, and here's whero tho Lansdowne branch of the Red Cross fklrly shone! Mrs. E. Wager-Smith, tho chalr r,nn nf h branch, and Miss Mabel Phil lips got a lot of tho Red Crossers together, and they gavo cotfeo and sandwiches and other good things, to the boys, who, need less to say, wero as hungry ns bears (for you would be, too, if jou had marched from Bywood In tho cold twilight, after a par ticularly hard day). Bonfires wero bnllt In the streets, and theso warmed and cheered the soldier-men, who gathered around them. They sang songs, nnd laughed, and sang somo moro ; nnd tho people of tho town all crowded around to bid them good-by and wish them luck. Finally, the trains did arrive, though It was G o'clock In tho morn lug when tho last man got off. These Third Regiment boys, 2200 of them, have been camping In Bywood this summer, jou know. Every night the people from all around would como to watch their dress pa rades, which really wero splendid. They had tho last one on Monday night, nnd it was especially fine. Colonel Konnaffon, who had command of tho Third Regiment In 1S98, reviewed the men, and, of course, they all wanted to do their best. It was n. very bright late afternoon, and In tho clenr, cold atmosphere ono could distinguish each man and hear plainly the short commands of ths officers. During the ceremony a hugo fleck of blackbirds flew over tho field on their way South. Incidentally, which do you sup pose arrived thero first, tho birds or tho soldlpr men'.'

Not Been Allowed to Increase m '-y PARIS, Sept. 15. Tho housewife of war-ridden Franco to day is paying virtually tho same price for bread as sho paid before the war. The only difference Is that today's bread Is of whole wheat flour. It Is darker than the white loaf of tho pre-war days. Tho French Food Ministry today ex plained for tho benefit of Americans now facing Increased prices for flour nnd bread how Franco 'dealt with tho problem. Th ministry's statement was ns follows: "During the first two years of the war there was no bread problem In France. W imported all necessary wheat. But oven then, in view of transport difficulties, the Government was obliged to tegulato baking. "As the French nro essentially a bread eating nation. It was necessary to keep prices us low as possible. Therefore, the only Iticreasa permitted was tho ralso to llvo cents for tho usual four-cent loaf. "All Frcmh bread is now of a standard tpe. It Is made of whole-wheat flour, which Is less tasty, perhaps, hut which Is equally nutiltlous. "Tlio Government held It Inadvisable to tax wheat because the farmers might grow other cereals. Therefore. It was decided to pay the farmers the prices they demanded for their wheat although tho tlour from this grain was icsojd at former prices to the bakers. "To cover lho deficit a tax will soon be Imposed on tlm agricultural population. This appears to bo tho only solution. "In October bread caids will bo Intro duced In France. They will allow a. mini mum dally nllowanoo per capita of ti pound v of bread with u maximum of a pound and four-fifths. Tho latter weight is for the working and agricultural classes, who aro greater broad caters than our townspeople. "Hxperlments with potato broad have given excellent results, If tho pcrccntago of potato flutir does not, exceed 20 per cent. Tho difficulty In Frnnc'o Is that the bakers are short-handed and nro unwilling properly to cook iiotiitocs befoie mixing them with tlio wheat Hour. hi America, where more machinery Is being used In baking, potato flour could easily bo adopted. "If American municipalities supplied the bakers with potato flour, tho quality ot the bread could bo maintained and Us coat diminished "Tho French Government recommends a , newly discovered formula for baking, which lu In general use. It produces what Is uni versally called 'pain francalse' (French bread). It Is different from American bread In that lt is not baked In French homes, and is, therefore, easier to control," Atlantic City Preparing for the Elks ' ATLANTIC CITY, Sept, 15. Governor Walter 11.
