night on Brontl street between I'lnc and
Spruce streets ; nml tbnt square Is to
be ropeil off, so tlicre will bo no traf
fic to Interfere with the dnuclni; in tlie
middle of the street. It is to be hoped
that it will be rlenr; though Roodness
knows If It Is as hot on Krldl-as It
has been for the past few(WjT no one
would want to dance. However, it does
get a bit cooler at night and on the
broad open street It will be great to
whirl around to stirring tnnsie.
The various theatres have lent
scenery for the street. m I don't know
Just how It's going to bo arranged, but
I do know It will look wonderful, for
when the Emergency Aid gets stnited
doing things It usually does them all
right and Mrs. Tom Uobliis is getting,
j,. it up. Mrs. Wnrburton. Mrs. (ieorgq
I-orimer and a number of other women
arc deep in the work. There will be
some randy booths, fiult. vegetables
and 'flowers for s,ale, and there arc to
be several bands to keep the dauuiifg
going. '
I'VE heard the nicest things about, the
new Mrs. Eckley Coxc. "Vow know
Eckley was married jestcrday douli

impossible to mote her from the city for
some time.
It has been a long and trying illness,
nnd her family and friends will be
greatly relieved when she ran be moved
from the heat of the city to the. country
or to some resort to recuperate further,
SXSCK in a while, between the stories
Vy of devastation nnd want in the
lately ioccupIed' legion of France, n rny
of light come,s into the dnrknes'j. I was
interested in rending a letter Sliss Julia
Williamson'.sent home recently, where
in she tells of her travels to the front.
It is a loti'g letter nnd tells of covering
miles and miles of country nnd town
nfter towti. She is over there doing
"Y" work, you know. And she speaks
of going to "Xndelain Farm" at, Nan
tllles, w'hich was virtually a ruin.
She says that some soldiers who were
there told her that they had been sent
there at the time of the armistice nnd
that while they were on duty the pro
prietor of the Farm had come back and
dug up from the cellar (5.",000 francs
which he had buried there in 1014.
What n happiness that must have been
to one who had known poverty and pri
vation all during the war, to find so
much of his one time possessions left
Intact, nnd real money, too.
I HOPE it won't be so hot today for
Harriet Frnzlcr's wedding, nnd Alas
"tair MrCloml too is to be married tojlay
in 'New York. The Chcston-Frazier

PRESSER CHORUS IN
ITS SPRING CONCERT
Assisted bv Zeckwer-Hahn Or
-' "III Wl
chestra, It Gives Mendels
sohn's "Hymn of Praise"
The annual spring ioncprt of the
Theodore Prefer Choinl Society, as
sisted by the Zeckwer-Hahn Orchestra,
took place in Wltherspnon Hull last
evening before a lurgc crowd who
braved the heat to hear an enjojablc,
though long concert.
The features of the concert were the
1 MBnR of Mendelssohn's "Hymn of
! I'raic" by the Choral Society, accom
panied ny me urciirtuni uuu nni.-
violin
solos of (triMtu Monnsevitcli, a
talented pupil of Mr. Ilnhn. The
omig violinist plnjed the Prelude from
the Sonata No. ( of Bach. KrcMor's
'Sweet Rosemary" and the brilliant
Scherzo Tarantella of Wieninwski.
He has a high degree of talent which
nt present seems to run rather to the
technical side and towards delicacy
rather than the breadth of tone and
stjlc required by Bach, which he is not
,et qunliticd to piny before a critical
audience, although ecry noteof the
difficult Prelude was played dearly.
The Kreisler and Wieninwski numbers
left nothing to be desired except per
haps a little more tone. He has a
promising future with careful study
along the right lines.
The "Hymn of Praise" was well sung,
although it enmo Inst on n program too
long for n hot evening, so late in the
season. The solo parts, taken by Miss
Gwendolyn Morgan, soprano: 'Mrs.
Helen Heed Brown, contralto, and Al
bert Ockenlnender, tenor, were especial
ly well (lone nnd their performances
would have done credit to any trio of
professional singers. Their voices are
all of uuusually good quality and power
nnd the interpretation was along the
best classic lines, ns demanded by
Mendelssohn, who is In his strictest
style in this composition. The chorus
of about sixty voices is well balanced,
nnd has been thoroughly trained by the
conductor, Mr. Preston Ware Orem.
All are bona fide employes of the 1 res
ser store and Mr. Orem hns secured
that most unusual thiug about a mixed
chorus, a tenor bectiou that balances
the other parts. They sang tho dif
ficult poh phonic choruses with accuracy
and intelligence, nnd on tho whole gave
a most creditable performance.
Prior to this Mr., Hahn led the or
chestra in the Raymond 'and Oberon
overtures, and the two string numbers
frdm Peer Gynt Suite No. 1. Mrs.
Irown sang the aria "My Heart -nt the
Dear Voice" from "Samson and Dclila"
i o ihnrnuehly acceptublo manner,
and R. Oscar Miller baritone gave an
"Iitfelicc'
excellent penoriim.. v.
from Verdi's "Eruani.

(!tenior Sproul will name Sunday,
June l.-, ns "Book Sunday."
Ecrv Sunday school child in the
stnte will be nsked to bring a book or
inng,'i7iiie suitably inscribed to be sent
to the 730,000 American soldiers still
oeisens.
The appeal to tlie Governor will be
made at the request of C. II. Smith,
1-00 North Broad street, who lepre
sents the American Library Association,
which hns charge of the furnishing of
books and rending matter to the Ameri
can soldies. v
While the public schools hac made
n large iesponscto former requests for
the contribution of books tn the soldiers,
the Sunday schools as a body, have had
little opportunity to take part iu actual
war activities.
Sunday school interests are said to
welcome this oppoitunity to render n
vnlunble service, as the books mean a
great deal to tlie'bojs in France nnd
to those returning on the transports.
Among those interested in mnking
"Book Sunday" a success are Bishop
Rhinelander, Father riood, head of
parochial schools; Bishop Berry, Mr.
Fares, of tho Philadelphia County Sun

Welfare Board.

He wns in tlie midst of both opera

"On tho fnce?" nsked the barber.
"No, in the fate," said the cus

cream was handed to him.
"Forty cents," it said mutely.

CONVOCATION WOMEN
IN VICTORY FESTIVAL
Fete Held on Caspar W. Haines
Estate, Cermantown, Is
Great Success
The ictory fete held yesterdnv nftcr
nooii by the Women's Aid of the Con
VIUi?".. of Xor"1 M'Hadolphitt at
,, ,cIt,..thp Ormnntown estate of
( aspur A istar Haines, was n Im .
cess, according to a report by the com-11!
imnrc in nurgc oi tne affair.
The Haines house with its old-fashioned
surroundings proved an ideal stag
ing of the fete, which wns in the nature
of a colonial affair.
Aides in gaily colored colonial cos
tumes flitted nbout beneath the oaks
and maples, selling their wares from
novel little baskets parried on their
arms. At one side of the house large
tables, temptingly spread with snowv
eloths nnd spotless china nnd silver
awaited the arrival of those who wished
to sup beneath the trees, while on
the lawn in front of the house smaller
tables, decked for afternoon ten, in-
itnil the passer-by.
One of .tlie busiest booths wns" that
which contnined the "Magic f!ooe " a
grab-bag for children, and the shrieks
of delight from the little ones who con
stantly surrounded it amply testified
to its popularity.
An orchestra beneath one of the
trees played fitting music, while the
guests enjoyed the beauties of the sum
mer afternoon.
Wares of nil descriptions, from dish
towels to lollypops nnd from canned
goods to corsage bouquets, were sold
at the various booths which dotted the
lawn. Each table was in charge of
representatives of several churches of
the (onvocation, twenty-six pnrishes in
all taking part in the fete. The pro
peeds of the nffalr will be used as a
building fund for a parish house for
the Church of St. Augustine, German
town. TEACHERS ASK BONUS
Education Board to Decide on Vaca
tion Funds Next Monday
The Board of Education bus been ap
pealed to by Prof. T. Eugene Baker,
who, as president of the Teachers' As
sodation, represents more than 0000
instiiictors in the cltv, to grant n "va
cation bonus" of S100 to each teacher.
Tlie request was referred to the financial
committee of the boaid.
"As managers of the schools of Phila
delphia," Professor Raker said In ad
dressing tho board members, "it would
be good business for you to borrow
money to pay the teachers n vacation
bonus of $100. It would be a very
good investment, for if the bonus is
withheld you will not have an efficient
working organization of teachers when
the schools open next fall."
"We haven't the money and we can't
get $000,000 to pay this bonus," was
Simon Gratz's answer to the request.
Professor Baker then nsked if finan
cial relief could not be extended nt
least (o tho .small-salaried teachers in'
the elementary school, or if the JflO
bonus due them next Christmas could
be advanced in June. He snid it wjis
important that some action be taken
before the schools closed this month, as
many of the teachers would be com
pelled to tuko permanent positions out
side of the schools.
William Rowen, chairman of the
committee on elementary schools, re
ferred the matter to the financial com
mittee, of which John Wnnamnker is
chairman. It will meet'next Monday,

JUNE AND DEMOBILIZATION
ABLE AIDS TO DAN CUPID
Discharged Yanks So Used to Discipline They Can't Do With
out It and Marriage License Clerks Work Overtime
Issuing Permits to Wed
IJi'.CUHD.S are going smash nt the
Marriage License Bureau these
June dajs, with the demobilisation of
American troops lately hack from
France.
Whether It is because June true
locrs' month hns come round again In
the swinging cjclc ot the year, or be
cause the lads who went to France to
fight brought the habit home with them,
or because they are so used to discipline
that they can't get along without it
the clerks at the Marriage License
Bureau do not pretend to know.
They are quite certain, howeer, tbnt
all the Philadelphia soldiers who were
not married before they went to war arc
preparing to get married, now they arc
home. Since the last days of May so
many applicants have been rushing to
the bureau that the clerks had to send a
call for help to the police department,
nnd now two or three patrolmen keep
the would-be's from fighting with
other would-be's, of course, nnd not
with each other-not yet with each
other for first place iu line. And khaki
uniforms, 0r just plain clothes with
service buttons In coat lapels, are
greatly in the majority.
000 Apply In Few Days
Adiiau Donnelly, of the license bu
reau, says that in the firrt few dnjs of
June more than 000 couples sought the
friendly aid of the license clerks. This
is at least l,-0 more than demanded
licenses during the corresponding days
of 1018.
"Wheu the birds are singing, nnd
the bun is shining, and June is here,"
said Mr. Bonnelley poetically, "then
the girls nnd their swains come after
marriage licenses. Whether the girls
areold or joung makes no difference.
"Lately, we had nn applicant who
was eighty-one years old. His bride
to be was sixty-eight he thought
she was a regular 'chicken' compared
to himself. When I asked him if he
could support a wife he told me to go
to heaven.
"And then nt the other extreme, a
girl of thirteen came in the other day
with a prospectie bridegroom of
twenty-three. They were Italians

BELLEVUE-STRATFORD
General du Pont to Spend Sev
eral Hundred Thousand Dol
lars on Hotel Property
Interior improvements costing several
hundred thousand dollars will be made
at the Bellcvue-Stratford Hotel, which
has been leased for a term ofyears by
the owners, George C. Boldt, Jr., nnd
his sister, Mrs. A. Graham Miles, to
L. M. Boomer.
Mr. Boomer, present manager of the
Waldorf-Astoria und the McAlpin, New
York, represents T. Coleman du Pont.
The change iu control alreadj has
been effected. There will be no cbn'ngc
in policy, Mr. Boomer stated today. He
said, hoeer, that prices at the Bellcvue-Stratford,
in common with those of
other hotels everywhere, probably will
be somewhat higher after prohibition
comes in.
Mr. Boldt will retire from the nctUc
mnnngement of the hotel and will be
succeeded by J. P. A. O'Conor, who
has been associated with Mr. Boomer iu
New York in the management of the
two hotels there.
The Bellevue-Stratford was built in
1004 by the late George C. Boldt, then
owner of the Bellevue, on the north
west corner of Broad and Walnut
streets, where the Manufacturers' Club
now stands, nnd the Stratford, on the
southwest corner of Broad and Walnut
streets, the site of the present Bellevue
Strutford. The amount of the annual lease was
not diulgcd. Mr. Boomer took pos
session jesterdny. The hotel is as
sessed at $,'(,000,000, though it is said
to represent u larger investment than
this amount. The present personnel
will be retained.

Now, with the northern Italians it is
different."
Mr. Bonnelly'ls himself an Italian
a northern Italian, from Tuscany,
though from his speech you would
figure him a Philadelphian born nnd
bred.
"We expect nn even bigger rush the
remaining dajs of the week biggest
of all on Saturday. Every day sol
diers hac been almost in the majority.
J '11 tell j on a funny Incident. Came
a soldier and his sweetheart one day
this week. He was in uniform. He
had two wound stripes on his arm. He
was on Italian-American who had
fought bravely for his adopted country
in some of the hardest battles. And he
wns trembling with fright so that his
knees knocked together.
"I asked him, 'What arc jou trem
bling for?'
" 'Me no can tell,' he answered me.
'Me no shnkc in Frnncc when I light w
dnm' hard.' "
Becomes an Epidemic
Perhaps a commission of expel Is
might Isolate nnd label with a long,
Latin name the germ of a marriage epi
demic that is sweeping the countr.
Possibly it wns brought back by the sol
diers nnd snilois, like thp "fin." for
they are at present the hardest hit. At
all events, getting married is as epi
demic as spring fever iu every city in
the land.
New York reports the soldiers and
some civilians, too standing in loug
ranks to get license papers; Brc ikljn
virtually doubled the number 'f Car
riage licenses issued the first f "i days
of June oer tin same dus a enr ngo;
Manhattan wns only a small per cent
behind.
Washington is speeding up likewise,
with totnls three times ns great as last
year. In Milwaukee they are hiring
extra marriage-lirense clerks: Pitts
burgh applications have increased ."00
per cent: Detroit figures have doubled:
Cleveland clerks iiro fairlv swamped
with applications, nnd St. Paul lcpoits
a L'O per icnt increase. And in every
ouo of these cities 00 per cent or more
of the applicants on the mule side
ore discharged soldiers. How many of
the femnlps are "militants" the leporti
do not recal.
