rpHE Rndmnn n. Oriscoma will Introtluce
their daughter Mnry next petition. Kvi-ry
day we henr of nnothcr debutniite. It mm-iiii
to me, until 1 Minietiines wonder liovv on cnrlli
there will lie- enmiKh dnjK to lirliiK them nil
out: and 1 do nut wonder that mothers nir
choosing tin; ns far nhead ns .lanunry when
It comes to pnrtlcs nt the lintel".
Of course, the firlsenms will not bring
Mary out of n hotel, for they have their
lovely big place nt Dolobrnn which was built
by Mary's grandfather, the late Mr. Clement
A. Griscom. I understnnd thnt Iter grand
mother, Mrs. Clement A. Orlsrnm. will give
n ten out there in October to introduce the
young debutante.
Mrs. Hodmnn Ori-com wns Mis Annie
Starr, you Know. o the Stnrr family ns
well ns the (rNconiM will be interested in
giving Mary ttrlrtiin a good time. And It Is
likely thnt there will be nny nuinber t)f par-
tlen.
It is some time since there has been a
' debut in the (JrUcom family, unit the coun
try home, with its picture gallery and ball
room, is an ideal place for cnlcrtniuiug.
T"ON'T you loe to henr people talk nbout
tilings they do not understand? I kunvv
that sounds Mirintir, but i rally, my dears,
the comments I linio lienrd mi thnt painde
last week are enough to make one mar with
laughter. It appear" them were not enough
lunula, ylj.it not enough litlis to go around.
Nrfw that sounds too absurd, iloesn t it'.'
Hut there are not one or two, but ninny, in
this town who diil not nnd do not jet know
thnt members of gun lmttnllous do not carry
rifles, they shoot guns; thnt sttctcher
benrers and nmbulnnce corps members tlo
not entry rifles; (lint each regiment has only
one baud and that we were viewing the re
turned Twenty-eighth Division, which- lint
in it four regiments, nnd therefore four
bands nnd no more.
Another thing, the city bad bands nbout
every two or three blocks for the men to
inarch to. They plnjed on the sidennlks
or on the grandstands, and it was nil mar
Tlous. I hne never seen Mich n splendid
eet of fine, well-built men.
Hut there lire nlwnjs some to find fault.
'So it goes. If we all liked the same people
and the same things it would lie tierce,
wouldn't It? Hut at the same time we
jnight as well show a icrtain amount of
human intelligent e now nut! ngnlu, mid
somehow when I bad beard seven times
about the want of ritirs in the parade ntitl
ten times nbout there not being enough
bands I felt 1 must stand up on my two
feet and remark: "You know, dearies, thnt
wnsn't n circus we went to see Inst week.
It was the men who leturncd from fight
ing in one of the worst places along the
line in the Into wnr. There's been a war.
you know, nnd the l'lillntlelphinns in line
wer,p whnt were left of our own home-town
men who fought nnd died 'over then:'
for us."
TIJE Colouiel Dames, Chapter Xo. 2, will
g'ne n delightful nffnir tomorrow after
noon at their house, -100 Locust street. It
is to be a reception for nil the nurses in
the city who tlid work oersens during the
war. The reception will last from t until
0 o'clock and will be unite n large affair.
Mil. .lames Large, who has lately been mnde
president of this chapter, is taking a very
great interest in the party nnd has ahcd a
number of the Dames to receive with her.
Tito Coloilnl Dames hnve done a lot townrtl
entettaining soldiers anil sailors and hist
Sunday they had n huge supper there for the
seamen, at vvliiili some hundred men were
present,
THE Flower Market will open this morn
ing, you know, and it's certainly going
to be ns grrnt as a picture, if nothing
pise, and something tells me frnln the
amounts tnken in in ptevious years it will
be successful financially., too, and. of course,
that's the great thing. Mrs. Eli K. Trice
Is chairman of the Market nnd she has
. lind a number of splendid nnd most efficient
assistants.
I do hope it will be clenr nnd remnln so
- nil day. Yesterday was so ttuestlonahlc it
was hnrtl to predict the wenther.
Among those who me interested In the
market nre yMrs. Henry Hrlnton Coxe,
Slrsi Joe LeldJ, Mrs. Andrew Wright
Crawford. Mrs. Willis Martin, Mrs.
Charles Wood, Mrs. Sam Henderson and I
can't begin to tell you nil those who will,
be there.
ISN'T it lovely the ideas children get? Vir
ginia was eating her soup slowly nnd
carefully. You hnve to ent slowly when
you nre only four nnd you hnve to be very
careful not to spill n tiny drop nnd not to
make a single little scoopy bound. Tt was
tjiat lovely creamy tomato soup which is so
pink nnd pretty, nnd A'irglnla lo'ved every
'iittemnuthful. As she neared the bottom
ot me piaie sne dcchuib slower mm slower,
and then when you could see the bctttom
and the spoon took up more soup Virginia
looked puzzled, and, raising her eyes to
mother, said, "Oh! mamma, see the hole
I made in my soup!"

This. however, is not the vvmst featiiie
of tlie situation The I'amilie-t of these
men weie infoimetl b.v ofhYcis of thi- division
that these men were to he given the npptn -tunity
to return home with the Twenty -eighth.
Such was not the tnse They
were given no opportunilv to come home,
tin the contrary, they were asketl to sign
for an indefinite period of servue over

the lion Division what it is, nm what U
their levvanl'.' They have been deceived bv
st-lne one, they have been left aeioes the sea

have been deprived ot Pennsylvania's wel

The llrst and most important of the sugges
tions made in the report is the completion
of the endowment, which when all pledges
nre valued will stand nppioxlmately nt
$$00.(100. To complete it vv ill require rough -ly
$1,000,000 more.

also tailed to the slight increase in the pi ices
for the Saturday evening toiuert", which
brings the priies for those concerts some
what closer to thoe for the afternoon and
conforms to the practice of all other symphony-
ort liestras.
