Then like tho Prince In the fairy talo le smiled at tho lady and disappeared Into the wilds of the crowd at that cor ner. And the "ladye falre" looked a bit wistful as she recounted tho storv to her bosom friend at luncheon at Sautter's a Mt later and remarked. "Oh, It ho only nadnt disappeared so quickly, I should so have liked to thank him, but I was so embarrassed, I novor said a word." I'm afraid sho would nover havo got a commission If she had been at Fort .Magarn, because one of the first princi ples of boing a good officer is tho ability to keep ono's head.

FAREWELL PARTY FOR MEN DRAFTED INTO ARMY Lnst Night of Carnival and Street Party in South Phila delphia for Red Cross This Is a day o'f Memories for the hun dreds of boys who have left so quietly for the various camps, where each one hopes to become an Indispensable unit in the great work being undertaken by our country There Is scarcely a family that has not said "good-by" to some one dear, and last-rnlnute parties and dinners have helped to brlphten their leave-taking So many around Twentieth and Chris tian streets wero In the first draft, it was decided to make their departure one to be remembered, and so on Thursday evening, there waa a party for them, given by their friends in the Immedtate neighborhood. Mr Edward J Banner waa chairman ot tho committee who arranged the affair, nnd he had the help of Mr. Martin Manlon, Mr. John Lynch and Mr. Andrew Shields to see that everything waa In keeping with an affair worthy of the guests. There was a splendid entertainment, talent having been obtained from the local theatres, followed by a supper The committee secured tho use of the clubroom at 715 South Nineteenth street, and It was Btrlctly a stag affair. But that did pot detract In the least from the pleasure of the evening. Mr. William McCoach made an Interesting address, as did also Mr William Crawford, and tho only shadow that seemed to darken the affair was the regret of Mr. Andrew Shields tha he was not going. Mr. Shlelds's number was drawn early In the draft, but despite his protests, he waa re jected for physical reasons. Those In whose honor the party was given Included Mr. Joseph Wiley, Mr. FTnnK Simpson, air.

Despite the fact that there are two other carnivals going on In the Immediate neighborhood, the pretty aides have worked .unceasingly for the affair and the houses and booths are so attractive In their patrl oilo red, white and blue decorations that there has been every promise of success. Most of the aides are members of the Red Cross, and they look so attractive In their white headdress, with its simple little cross a privilege that only goes with member ship In the main body.

Mlw Mary Feeller, Miss Marian Baldwin, Mlsa Anna Keenan, Miss Catherine Collins, Miss Mar garet Collins, Miss Cora Shaeffer, Miss Rhoda Brederlck, Mlsa Marie Brennan and Miss Mary Brennan. To Judge by the enthu siasm that two very small aides manifested In the sale of several hundred very tempting-looking "apple taffies," It is safe to say the carnival will prove to have been one of the, best of Its kind held this fall down 191T S LANSDOWNE HOME DEFENSE STARTS AGAIN Younp; People Off to School and College Club Meetings Start The Lansdowne Home Defense League, which stopped Its drills and was rather quiet during tho summer, has resumed said drills, and they aro held every Friday eve ning.
