. - i : OLD MISSUS COLONNADE FILLS DEBUTANTE ROLE Her "Housewnrming" nt 15th and Chestnut Streets in Trans formed Home a Big Success I AND HER CLOTHES, 0 BOY! Also DInncr-Danco and Menu and Mu sic AH Made Hotel Reopening a Memorable Occasion Old Missus Colonnade, who was to have been seventy-eight on her next birthday, has changed her mind and decided to be only seventeen from now on, So she gave n house-warming Inst night In her house at Fifteenth and Chestnut streets to cele brate the fact that she has just promised to love, honor and obey Bonwlt. Teller & Co. Sho didn't look a day over seventeen, a debutante though married, with a sparkle In her eyes nnd fox-trots tingling In he toes. Her new clothes did It. Wouldn t It go to anybody's head to be dressed by Donwlt, Teller & Co.? And, oh bey! from the old rose curtains In her Bench Boom nnd the brilliants In her Crystal ltoom clown to the pale Ivory of her Tap Iloom, Missus Colon nade was as "ultra" as any creation that the famous ctutourlers, than whom there has necr been any moro "ultraer," ever created I 'Steen thousand people tried to get Into Missus Colonnade's house-warming nnd the Btandlng-ltoom-Only sign had to bo hung out long before the handsome waiters trotted In with the first hemeydew melon. Jn consequence of which, on nccount of, and for the aforesaid reason, the house warming will have to be continued tonight and tomorrow, so as tt give 'steen thou sand more people a chance at the tables before Halloween Is over. The housewnrmlng developed Into a dinner-dance which went on In nil three ot the new salons Crystal. Bench nnd Tnp. The menu was: Honey uew melon fox trot ; filet of sole, aux vln blanc one-step; tenderloin of beef, plquo flnanclere. pots erts Chinese toddle; supreme of chicken, Virginia ham nnd fresh mushrooms fox trot ; hearts of lettuce one-step ; nineteen other courses, nineteen other dances; coffee ; gabardine, sllvertone, plain v clour, trico trlne, Kngllsh broadcloth, tailored serge, satin, charmcuse, Lapln fur. rnyner cloth, nutria, nutriment and nelghborllncss. As the evening wore on the great topic of conversation was. What Is n guffer? The hame question will bo asked tonight. The eamo question will be nskid tomorrow night. What Is n guffer? The question came out of the music pro vided by Missus Colonnade. Sho had two orchestras for her guests. One Is Cole man's, from Woodmansten's Inn, New York. The other Is Brown's' Ouffer Band, from Paul Smith's, In the Adirondack. Both were so busy jazzing last night that there wasn't n chance to nsk what a guffer Is. Webster's, the Standard and 'Worcester's dictionaries explain the word In the same way: duffer! One who ruITh; n person nddlcted to gulling. (iiifT (verb) : To gun". You will have to call on Missus Co'on nade, at her dinner-dance tonight or to morrow to find out what It mo ins. All that can be said Is that the 'steen thousand people who gutted last night came away happy First U. S. Officer Wounded by Shell rontlnurrl from Pnee One was operated upon In nn effort to save liT life by an army surgeon, n graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, who had served In the General nnd University Hospitals In Philadelphia. De Bplte every care, however, the young prl oner died from his wounds. Before his death and while ho was still under tho Influence of nn anesthetic I siw the pris oner He was only a boy, of slight build, weighing not more than 130 pounds, A budding mustache failed to conceal the evidences of extreme youth. Tho two Sammees who captured this first prisoner were Polish-Americans, born In small towns of the United States, one In New York and the other In Pennsylvania, They enlisted In tho army five months ago. The exploit of the two men Is the envy of all their comrades In arms. UNLIKE A BATTLEFIELD It must be said In truth that the Amer ican mothers, wives nnd sweethearts en tertaining visions of their boys fighting and dying under terrlnc shell lire nave made the" wrong estimate of conditions. Notwithstanding the wounding of one offi cer the life here Is like that on n peaceful Ohio farm, with the rain beating down In torrents, flooded creeks and vast fields soggy with ponds. About all that is needed to complete the picture Is to supply the few flashes out of the guns on the hills by fireworks, the flashes being accompanied by occasional sharp bangs, as though some ono was bang ing the old barn door. Despite Buch dis agreeable weather the position of the dough boys is not the worst In the world, by any means, and even from a weather standpoint Is not to be compared with the conditions faced by the British and French troops many times during the war. TRENCHES DE LUXE Whereas our Allies are many times forced to spend many nights In a cold rain while HI protected, the brand-new positions of the Americans are what might be de scribed as '"trenches de luxe." Every Inch of the first, second and third line trenches are provided with duckboards, keeping the men's feet as dry as possible Under existing circumstances. The ordinary communication trenches, however, are filled with water, but It Is, possible even there to avom mucn exposure by tho use of duckboards. The dugouts are roomy, warm and com fortable. The men are well-provided with food, which Is brought up nightly after having been cooked In tho reserve lines. Our party of correspondents motored a great distance to examine the camps, ar riving at noon at the villages In the rear, where the Americana were billeted before thev entered the trenches. We passed the lines ot the khakl-colorf American supply wagons which were sand wiched along tho road In with the blue French camlnos. While awaiting our escort to the trenches, Amerlcun motorcycle couriers went slip ping and sliding by In the thick mud, and occasionally an American officer galloped by on horseback. We arrived finally at a vUIare Immedi ately behind the right American sector, from where we could plainly hedr the boom ing of the guns. AT THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL The American ambulances were drawn up before the American field hospital, In which tha surgeons were discussing; the case of the first German prisoner. Our party then Bwung off toward the battlefront, taking advantage ot the heavy rain and thick mist and proceeding much farther than automobiles are able to go. We halted at a small village, where a French officer, who was to be our escort, met us. where) we left our automobiles, and started for the front The route led first to the American ar tillery positions through fields knee high In water, which in many places forced small rivulets up over tha brow of the hill where the guns were pounding away. On we went, along a narrow railroad used as a transport line to a high point from where tha French officer pointed out tha German positions on hills barely vis ible in tha misty distance. The courteous French officer guided, us to tha dug-out of an American major, who U in command of the battalion at this sec tor, Hera dm of th many little Incidents T.F.RYAN REMARRIES; WIFE DEAD 12 DAYS Noted Financier Weds Widow of Cornelius C.
