I guess nbout every one nnd his wife Is, don't you think bo? The Country Club Is such n bcnutfnl spot for such things. And tho mntchet nro to last for two weeks, you know. These nro tho championship tournaments of tho United States. All tho boxes have been taken and It sounds llko a pretty gay affair to tnc. Bigger than tho horso show because It lusts so long. And it's such n beautiful gamo to watch, don't you think? Some of the box holders In clude Sir. ami Mrs. Robert E. Straw bridge, John Converse, Rodman Vnn amakcr, John AVnnnmnkcr, Jr., Clem ent Newbold, George W. Cliilds Drcxel, Tom McKenn, Victor Mather, and well I just can't begin to tell you nil. Suf fico it to say thnt every box has been tnken and every parking place also. The games will be held every after noon, and you know where the Phila delphia Country Club is, out in Bnln, just off tho Park. DTD you hear what a time the Adolph Rosengnrtcns had this summer? They were going West, you know, to a ranch in Montana. They had bent their trunks ahead nnd were to leave on a certain day at noon, or 2 o'clock, sometime around then, when at 9 that very morning Emily was taken very ill. Tho doctor came, pronounced it nn acute case of nppendicltis nnd by 3 she was operated upon. Of course, it put tho trip on the blink, for her nt any rate, nnd, of course, Mrs. Roscngarten would not leavo her, so finally Mr. Roscngarten. and Binxy went out West, and after Emily was well or rather able to bo moved, pho and her mother, who by tho way, was Miss Christine Penrose, went up to one of tho Maino harbors. Rut they certainly had n hard timo of It. You may imagine with nil their clothes sent to Montana, how hard it was to cet others or to get those back. Alto gether it must have been very hectic to Bay the lenst. They all got home last Saturday from the north and west both and tho last I hoard was that Emily is quite well again. DTD you ever see nnything like the crowds nnd excitement yesterday? Really, I should think it would be awfully hard to come down to earth at nil after such a reception as "the man of tho hour" received yesterday and had received in New York. Wasn't it exriting? And didn't the Emergency Aid and Emergency Aid Aides look well? I don't see how on earth they managed to look so well pressed and have such white spats, be causo I know some of them only got word n day before, nnd most of tlie suits, if not nil, were nwny in camphor, and so were naturally mussed: but, bless your heart, they looked as if they had just come from the hands of the tallor--evcry one of them. Reiug n Phlladelphlan and having been brought up on the First City Troop nnd hnving had n heartache when the government disbanded them during the war, when I saw those uniforms yesterday I p'retty nearly blew right up. I remember one o the dearest oui Indies in the world telling hip that when she was a little girl she nnd her .liter, who wns two jcars younger than she, used to climb up on eitner sine oi the funny marble-topped bureau to watch their father dress in his City Troop uniform. There would be a hug nnfl kiss for each small daughter before he left the room, nnd then they would rush to the front windows', climb up on the chairs and peering through the parted cur tains watch him mount his big black horso as he rode oft to join the other members of the troop for their nnnual dinner on November 17 or for Wash ington's Birthday, when the troop nl ways went to church as n body. Well, believe Nancy, when she saw tho troop yesterday she just almost screamed her fool head off. And wasn't it great when General Pershing came down off the stand in Independence Hall nnd went over to the Emergency Aid Aides and handed Charlotte Cherry his gloves. She was the most astonished person I ever saw, for all the important officers of the or ganizations were lined up where lie came down and every one expected them to be the ones he would specially notice ; but not n bit of it, he walked right over to tho E. A. A.'s and hnnded his gloves to Charlotte, nnd I never heard such a cheer as rang out. Tho E. A.'s and the E. A. A 's must certninly have been tired out wnlking around In those hot uniforms. When they got up to Broad Street Station, if you please, the general, instead of get ting right on tho train, suddenly offered his nrm to Mrs. MncLcod and walked with her tho whole length of tho E. A. A.'s, who were drawn up there on the platform nnd back again. Then he got on tho train, and the excitement of two hours' time about died down at last. . NANCY WYNNE. , .... ... - ... ... ...

The P. R. T.'s Change of Heart To the Editor of thr l:venlng PutiM J,darl Sir The chnnge of heart the Phila delphia Rapid Trnnsit Company seems to have experienced toward the public is something pleasant to behold. That something pic if indication really indicate, ami thej do seem to be genuine. lucre was n time not very long ago "hen there was apparently little love between the three unrtles enmnrtfllni? - - i -. -,-.-.-e, the Rapid Trnnsit system nnd tho patrons, thnt is the company, tho em- plojes nnd the public. The company felt thnt it wns not being sufficiently remunerated for the services It was rendering, nnd the employes felt about the same Consequently neither of these two pnrttes ilnl more than wns com- l'l'lsory. And the public, living in eon stnnt fear of an increase of fnre, crltl zed nnd was disgusted. But consider the chnnge it is still five cents, ond indications are that It will remain five cents. And not only that, the conductors arc beginning to call the streets. They have hnd a gala dnj nt AYillow Grove nnd the public wns invited lo come nlong. The com pnnv is inviting the public to rido on tli" cars with n promise to try to keep the fnre down. There nre signs on tha cars which say : "Ride AA'ith Us." It a'jnost sounds like: "Abide AA'ith Us." Really, thero is nn improvement all around, nnd we nil feel better. AVo al most feel like volunteering an increasu In fare. Of course, we will not do that, but thero will be n compensation. Dread cost upon the waters has not changed its course. It is n welcome chnnge of heart. Philadelphia, September 9.
