And I've heard that prominent dressmakers have given a number of cample gowns to bo exhibited by tho models and tho milli ners aro doing tho same thlngt So you. see It will be quite the spring opening. Mrs. George pallas Dixon, Jr., has charge of tho Fashion Show. And ono of the most Important features of the wholo affair is that it's for the bocial service department of the Polyclinic Hospital. SPEAKING of good-looking clothes, have you seen that stunning moleskin cape that Mrs. JDobson Altemus Is wearing? I saw her yesterday getting out of her car on Chestnut street, and sho looked as If she ought to have "Early Spring Fashion Number" written over her head. Tho cape comes all tho way down to her feet and has a dark fur collar. Her hat was ' black velvet, one of those tlp-tllted affairs that Mrs. Altemus wears so well, and of courso sho had on a veil with it. Her dress I Just caught a glimpse of it as she crossed the street was dark blue serge with embroidery in gray on the skirt. Marlon "Toulmin is wearing an awfully becomlngIsport suit of tan, w.lth a sailor hat to match, and light furs. She always has such an "out-doorsy" look and sport styles are Just right for her. TF ONLY we would stop to think of tho JL impression wo make on others perhaps tun.. wilrvli ck tlmpa whfln TVft xvmll,! tint ' appear so foolish as we sometimes do. After which ambiguous remark I will pro ceed. I stopped in to look at hats on Wednesday, which you will admit was a remarkably strange thing for a -woman to do these spring days, now wasn't it? Any. how, bo that as it may, I stopped in, and in the shop was a young woman, a recently married young woman, though I would not accent tho young very greatly; how ever, neither was she old, though she was old enough to know better, for she tried on every hat in that shop and kept I .do not know how mai.y customers waiting, whllo saleswomen waited on her evidently ex pecting her to buy the place out. Then sho smiled very sweetly dnd re marked to the tired woman who had so graciously showed her everything: "I guess I had better not decide. You see, my .husband has very decided ideas about hats for me, and I'd hate to get ono ho did not like, bo I won't take any Just now." And sho smiled again at every ono In tho place. NANCY WYNNE.

Jim Europe's Band of a Mil lion Jazzes Makes Academy Re sound to Rip-Snortin' Tunes If Shakespeare had heard Jim Europe's jazz band at the Academy yesterday after noon and evening he would have gone home, dipped his cmill in the blackest black Ink ho could find and written Jazz You Like It. It's an Intoxicating experience. As Lieuten ant Jim wats his eloquent baton and calls from the snorting frisky melody now a tlnglo of little bells, now a squeal, n squeak, gay Irresponsible moans and ripples and clashing of cymbals nnd tlck-tock of tho gourds, al ways ending In true Jazz style by tossing tho theme In a delightful absurdity of ricochet, from the cymbal to tho drum, the audience bubbles over with irresistible mirth and satisfaction. Jim that is to say Lieutenant James Reese Europe, of the JG9th Infantry cer tainly enjoys conducting that jazz outfit of "hell fighters." By the way, the phrase "hell fighters" rather leads one to expect a gath ering of deepest ebony. But the prev. tiling color scheme Is a warm buff and cream. Lieutenant Jim has the most eloquent back ever seen by this chronicler. As he rides the storm of thrashing, syncopated and gloriously blood-moving music It is hard to resist the thought that ho Is having a better time than any man In the worltl ever had before. He rocks and sways on thoso shapely pedestals of his, dances up and down with a delightful rubbery vibration, pivots from one brown putteed pin to tho other, claps hla knees to mark the time, waves his long elbowy arms in a quaint swimming gesture, and all done with an admirable graco and restraint that aio half tho fun of tho performance. The band does justice to its dtllghtful lender. Possibly barring the saxophone sex tet, lt Is all dono with edgo and delightful vim. The rendering of tho famous French military march, "Sambro et Meuse," could hardly be bettered, wo fancy, even by a French army band. The whole program magnificently expresses the devil-may-care spirit of the American army opd the ele mental glee of the colored race. Lieutenant Noble Slssle, who gave some vocal solos to Lieutenant Europe's accom paniment, has a dulcet caressing voice of the truest and finest negro quality, and a quiet skill In getting his volco over the foots that made every tone and syllable reach even to the last outposts of the great auditorium. His "On Tatrol Out In No Man's Land." a vividly acted trench song, is a genuine hit Stevo and Herbert Wright, (ho "percussion twins, give a very lively drumming stunt that can certainly bo counted on to enliven the most prosaic pulse. The whole perform ance Is high-spirited, entertaining to the last degree and far too good to miss. WELCOME FOR CITY TROOPERS Members of 103th Trench Mortar Battery to Return Next Tuesday Members of the 103d Trench Mortar Bat tery, wilch was originally composed of members of tho Philadelphia First City Troop and the Sheridan Troop, of Tyrone, will be welcomed by a committee represent ing this city and tho state when they arrive in New York on the cruiser North Carolina next Tuesday.

Monarchs of tho Air ' Threading jour winged ships through regions lare. Cloud-wrapped, unfalhomed, storm-racked, bleak, to hurl Your thunder bolts of Death amid tho swirl Of ghostly airmen ghouls of evil omen. Unworthy, as of jore, such princely focmon. Still, llko young gods on chill Olympian height. In deathless youth, you wing your matchless flight! Unmoved by mist or rain, by wind or sleet. Toward spheres Elyslan glides jour phantom fleet. Gray eagles 'ncath you spread their haughty wings. Across tho Waste a lark, triumphant, sings. The Pilot wnlts upon tho Hidden Waj To guide you, safclj-, past tho brink of Daj All hall 1 lost comrades 1 dead by that lono aea That spans a voiceless waste, that Libert j Might blow a bugle note, in accents clear. Athwart a prostrate world, halt mad with fear. For a dream j-ou challenged Death's black sail ! For a dream jou fought him astride the gale! So still ou lie on the sea's white floor, You'll hear our "Farewell" from this fnr-off shore. Where we walked and talked In gaj" dajs of ore. Ne'er lonelj- 'twill be. In the depths of the sea. The winds, through the dark, shall whisper their quest, Tho mermaids shall clasp theo close to their brenBt.

With souls whoso deeds were lofty as thine own, In those grim t'ajs when Belleau Wood was strewn With dead, like autumn leaves, and In Ar- gonno Men fought, as crazed, midst fumes from Hell outblown. Sweetly you sleep 'neath the flail of the rain, Though above j'ou tho trees twist and bend In their pain. White gleom j-our crosses 'ncath the moon's palo rim, A nightingale whispers your Vesper hymn. Yo are not dead!

From New Jersey's Ex-Attorney General To tho HMor of the Vvcnino Public Ledger; Sl Some monthH ago I sent a note to tho IfvENiNQ Public LEWiEn commending an editorial Before that time I occasionally looked at tho LEDORti as a matter of curi osity; since that time I havo tend it as a matter of duty. My notion Is thnt a great newspaper Is built upon two foundations, tho truth and the public good. Tho usefulness of a newspaper, when that paper becomes vigorously partisan, Is manifestly limited. But, even It a news paper has fctrong partisan tics, It can only Increase tho efficiency and usefulness of Its party by standing squarely upon tho two principles, the truth and the public good. I am now reading regularly the Ledoeb, be cause It Is proceeding upon this theory It vWU grow In circulation, power and useful ness. I congratulate you JOHN W. WKSCOTT. Camden, X. J March IS, 1915.

Thoso who would help tho centenary are Francis Howard Williams, of the Historical Society; Talcott Williams, of Columbia I'nl vctsUv, and others. V. 11. WRIGHT. Philadelphia, March 20. Advocates the Recall To the Editor of the ftvenfnjf Public Ledger: Sir too many people have not learned to put Into practice in this city tho great pri mary principle of civilization some sacrifice of convenience and Inclination on the part of each for the general good. Ambitious small politicians are forever bombarding the fortresses of legal principle erected for the security of cities, nnd It will be ever thus until the people systematically co-operate and exercise the powers they have In shaping legislation, curbing ill-directed nmbltlon, ridding the community of nil sorts of frivol ous political enterprises, which aim only at the aggrandizement of particular Individuals. The love of one's city Is a part of one's patriotism. No man who does not love the city of his birth or long abode can have a very great love for his country. Every street, every square, every fine building, beautiful jard, exquisite park; every insti tution for the promotion of the welfare and happiness of mankind, is a part of the per sonal concern of each good citizen. This city Is an nge compressed Into an hour, nnd - lt seems to me that It Is high time that thoso who profess to love It Btopped their throwing stones at It and went to boosting lt. Instead of always knocking It, If some of these high-minded Individuals would go to work to boost the trnde of tho city and help start the wheels of Industry going Instead of spending their time shouting about a political situation over which they do not Intend tho people to have any control, they would be doing something worth while. The charter revision scheme as framed would virtually put all the power of the city government in the hands of tho Major and Ills board of advisers, as they would be mem hers of tho new City Council. Do you sup pose for one moment that without the recall a strong, willful Mayor, minded only of his political fences, would care a rap about what he did In office? Not at all. The Bullitt bill was supposed to put a stop on that kind nf stuff. Did it? To a man up a tree It looks pretty mucn ns If a lot of "outs" were trying to get "in" by camouflaging the issue, and were being supported by a few misguided men, who love to think that they are reforming their homo town. Otherwise why all theso "ripper" bins aimed at only one faction of the party lr power? Why not a real attempt to do some thing wortn while? First you go out West and tell us what a town can do as an eamplo of what wo can do if we want to then jou go further West and snow us what a misguided people do when they go too far. What Is wan tod evidently Is not a real reform of our city government in the Interests of all tho peopli, but ono which will put tho "ins" out aid th3 "outs' In. 7.o city charter which does not Include 'ho recall, initiative, referendum and tho right of the women to vote on school matters, at feasi, will be worth while. Philadelphia Is the most potential city on earth ; wjiy not make It tno greatest city in America? Wo have had enough Knocks to last us for a decade already. Let our preachers mind their own business and run their churches. Let our reformers get some- MARKET STREET AUOVE 10T1I 11 A. M. TO 11:15 l' M.
