I would say the debbies will be that tired out tlir-ylll have no energy left for the winter. However, they'll have two or three months to rest tip In before they stnrt. DON'T forget the Pony Show today, nor the Dog Show, nor the Ilaby Show, nor the Doll Showy nor, in fact, the whole show. It's oiij; at Wynnewood at the Wil liam Clothiers pjaec and there's to 'he a rummage, too, and what on earth do you think they have In that rummage? Four carriages! Did you ever? ISN'T tomorrow going to be wonderful? Geo swiz, I can hardly wait. Did I tell you what the Independence Square Auxiliary of the lied Cross is going to do today and tomorrow? They are going to turn their big backroom into n first-aid' room and the'ro will be a city doctor there and two trained nu'rscs and two nurses' aids and cot beds n' every thing in ense there are iuiy nccidents in the crowds, for there nrc some .crowds already in this city, believe me, nnd coodncss knows what it will be like tomorrow. I understand that sort of thing will be done at a good many places, too; but It seems especially apropos to have it right down where the crowd will be apt to congest by the reviewing stand, which is to be nt Independence Hall. HAVE you heard about the party that the Delta Kappa Psl Fraternity is go oing to give out nt Merlon Cricket Club on Friday evening of next week? Get that day straight, by the way, because I note that the little leaflets or announcements of the dance say "Tuesday, May 23" and May 23, you kn,ow, will be on Friday this year and the dance is May 23. I know, because I made it my business to find out. You know all the girls pretty much In town belong to this frat. It's THE one to belong to, nnd the beauty of it Is that beside having a good time they do some good work. The dance is to benefit the Outing Fund of St. Mnrtha's House. The fraternity has been running n summer home for the poor children of St. Martha's House for the last ten years and hitherto they have rented a house, but this year, if you please, they have bought a small farm near Newtown Square and the need for funds to stnrt the house going is quite urgent,.

Sarn Dolan is trcusurcr and t,he party begins nt 0 o'clock and it is evidently going to be a great success, for there's a long list of smart patronesses, and, of course, all tho mothers are interested fn the" younger girls, -who practically run the.frnt, I'm told. That is, the girls of the last school years are the ones to go to the regular meetings al ways, as is the way of frats. XANCr WYNNE. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES Mr. and Mrs. Joseph X.

"We wcro pushing forwnrc when day broke," Lieutenant Lutz says, "and we had to halt. We halted close by a position that must have been shelled pretty badly by our advancing' artillery, for the Germans were lying nbout rather promiscuously. One ghastly looking Fritz was stretched out right where I couldn't get my mind off him. He bothered me so much, I sacrificed a very precious article. I covered him with one of my blankets. "But he wnsn't covered for long. A great doughboy came rolling up swenring how cold it was. He spied the blanket. A smile lighted up his face. " 'Look at the aristocrat, would you? Here, Hoinie, gimme that blanket. Your soul's burnin' up now or I got another guess comin', nnd I'm sure mine's frcezin' here in France. I need that blanket more'n you do.'

Plea for Armenia To the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger: Sir The promises are forgotten ! The justice and the rights arc crucified ! Only hope is America! Great land of liberty! Land of Illustrious Washington and Abra ham Lincoln ! Yes, only hope that we have as my personal and independent opinion, is the United States of America, because her government is honest and didn't betray the principles for which she went in the most horrible war of humanity. In the first day of this great war we Armenians, like a single man, stood with the Allies. We sacrificed our blood, our re sources, for the justice nnd for this heroic and sublime stand. The microbes of civiliza tion, the Turks, massacred one million in nocent Armenians. No nation could stand in our position to smb. tortures without be ing despaired, hut we. with ull kinds of mis eries, heroically fought on nit battlefields. In Palestine we Armenians played greatest decisive blow to the Turkish army aud tJeneral Allenbj's words are the immortal document to explain thnt how the Arme nians made themselves one of most sincere friends of Allies. In the Caucasus the Ar menian army was the bulwark against Turks' German army and prevented their going to India. This explains the Lord Cecil's official announcements. Yes, we fought, having the motto "Nil Despcrandum" und heroically sacrificed our blood on the nltar of justice, hoping that after the victory our Allies would help us to have our unquestionable and traditional right the united independent Armenia. But. alas ! because the events clearly show us that our Allies nre not sincere ns we thought. I need not mention the shnmful treaty of 1010 to explain the betrnyul of the principles for which they were pro claiming to fight; Will be enough the follow ing reality to explain the purposes of Euro pean unconscientious diplomats. Why after the victory are the Turks not disarmed? Why nre the Turkish monsters ngaln mns Haciing the Armenians before our friends' ejes hi Aleppo? Why are the French present government blinded by selfish Inter ests want to unnex Silesia? Why ure the Allies s.o slow to do justice in the Orient? Shame! Shame! indeed thnt the Allies are bctrulng their promises. The barbarous Turk should be chased out of Armenia ns the Gerinun army has been chased out of France and Belgium. Let the selfish diplo mats understand that the justice is invin cible. They cannot ploy more easily their rotten game because the champion of liberty and justice, great land of rights, TJ. S. America, wouldn't satisfy until the rights of small nations uie not adjusted. God will destroy all buildings which are founded on injustice. Armenia's voice neks help to her dear and great sister, America. "There Is nnlj one hope for Armenia," Miys William Allen White, "if the American people should realize the situation, demand aud net to help Armenian. Dear people of great laud, because our European friends are blinded with their selfish interest! Justice nod the rights are crucified! America, raise your voice! (S. XALPANTIAN.

XXI txi truck MAY EBREY HOTZ IN SONG RECITAL Philadelphia Soprano Gives Difficult and Attractive Program in Ex cellent Style May Kbrey Hotr. gnc n song recital at Wltherspoon Hall last evening before nn audience which, while it fairly well filled the hall, was by no means so lnrge ns the gifted singer deserved. Mrs. Hotr. is so well known in Philadelphia for her beautiful so prano voice and fine nrtlstry thnt extended comment on her concert is nlmost unneces sary, except to say that she was In un usually good voice and had perfect control, not only ot the tcchnlcnl resources, such ns long and accurate skips, true Intonation and clear enunciation, but also of the more dif ficult dynamic effects, the crescendo, dimin uendos nud especially the sforrandns. which wcro given with just the right amount ot emphasis. Added to her fine singing were an attractive stage presence aud nn equally gra cious manner. The progrnm opened with four songs of the older composers, Handel, C'nmprc, Spohr nnd A. I, which Is the pseudonym under which the mother of Lis-n Lehmann wrote. These, however, were In the mnnner w liter is least suited to Mrs. Ilotrs style of singing and musical temperament, nlthotigh they were nil well sung. The second group was composed of four of the lesser known pongs ot Schumann and Brahms, and each two, while strongly contrasted, were veritable vocal gems, The soloist sang each with a true realization of their musical and emo tional values. The songs were "Hequlem" and "Spirit Presence," of Schumann, nnd "Rest Thee. My Loved One" nnd "How Free nnd Fresh," of Brahms. The third group was composed of the Russian song writers. The songs weie "Little Star." of Moussorgsky; "Crndli Song," of Grctrhnninoff ; "Eastern Ro mance" and the well-known "Hjmn to the Sun," from "Coq d'Or." both by Rimsky Korsnkoff. in these Mrs. Hotz showed her ersntlllty and brought out the melancholy, not to say morbidity of the Slnv composer with excellent tustc and judgment, but without overdoing; no easy mntter when the extreme emotional qualities of the works arc considered. The last group was of English composers. It was nlso probably the most difficult to sing, coming ns It did at the close of nn exacting program. It began with llors man'B "The Shepherdess," n song requiring nlmost continuously sustained tone, whicl was very well done, and was followed by Dels's "Come Down to Kew." a merry lit tle British song, which Mrs. Hotz sang with lightness and grace. The program closed with Ilonald's "Away on the Hilt" nnd Bibb's "Rondel of Spring." both sprightlj but serious songs, demnnding much lunnl power nnd perfection of voice control, both of which the soloist showed. She was en cored after each group and again at the close of the program was obliged to sint again, giving "The Brownies" with excel lent effect. Ellis Claik Hammann was the accompa nist and played with his usual fine judgment nnd skill. He entered into the musical spirit of each song and adapted both tone nnd stjlc to the requirements of the composition nnd to the interpretation of the soloist. Ills work in the Ronald number was of extreme delicacy, as it was also in "The Brownies," while in the Ribb song he displayed great power of tone in the difficult accompaniment. TRAINING IN GARDENING Soldier Convalescents Being Instructed at Army Hospital Soldiers in the army hospital here inter ested in gardening are getting lessons under competent gardeners' supervision. It is expected that before long fresh vege tables will be served the men daily from' the five-ncrc gurden situated back of the nursery, about one mile distant from the hospital.

In their work of co-operntion witli the educational service depnrtmrent of the hos pital the Jewish Welfare Hoard has the energetic assistance of the Adntli Jeslmruu Auxiliary, the Uodeph Shalom Sisterhood, the Keneseth Israel Sisterhood nnd B'nnth Jeshurun Lodge, which has enabled the Jew ish Welfare Hoard to grant every lequest that has been made to them by this depart ment.
