.F1orrie's backi' so vent the inspiring
words through De Ate yesterday and De
Ate turned hAndsprings OF emotion, for
Florence Jenevieve Sullivan. beloved leader
of the distric', came up the river on the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse after an alb
.ence OF two months in Europe.
When the big boat was warped into her
rier a, Hoboken and the crowd OF 1000
~stalwarts Of De Ate saw standing amid
sbins and on the port side a towering figure,
wearing the sassiest gray felt hat that ever
came out Of France, De Ate's ~impromptu
r.cartion committee let loose with Al ex-
plosion which made that Bryan affair look
like a meal ticket with all the numbers
,,nched. Timid Florrie bowed and blushed
and wanted 70 know from Capt. Cuppers
NJ the steamship II there wasn't a back
door exit.
The reception that began on the Hoboken
nier trailed over the river, across Manhattan,
drared itself along the Bowery. spilled
into Grand street and Florrie's club, at 2o3,
meandered back to the Bowery and is still
goinp on. It's a great thing to be the
whole cheese.
The exterior and interior Of the club
rooms were drared with colored stuffs
almost as v%ariegated as the colored stuns
that decorated the exterior aud interior OF
,he club members. Florris stuck TO milk
in small glasses. a. usual, and told over
and over. till hiS voice was hoarse, the
wonders Of the lands across the pond, which

II was 4 difficult matter to break through
the crowd Of admirers that surrounded
Florrie last night. There were Max Roth
berg, Phil Benjamin, Tommy Hughes, Abe
Finkelstein and Florrie's Alderman, Max
Lvine. around the leader as a personal
podyeuard. not to mention all the rest Of
De Ate that came on the job at one time or
another. Each had heard Florrie's mar
vellous tales so often that all Florrie had
70 do was to start one Of the yarns and the
bodyguard finished it in a chorus.

il is-toward the chandelier Of the club
rooms roguishly. That's Paris. Now let

picture you saw in Paris where the girl"
oh, cut it out. The kids too young to
hear that one. And Florrie wouldn't "a

Sullivan, IF he knew"
And then the waiter handed me a bill of
fare Florrie continued when the chorus
had subsided, that was printed in German
and -"
Zone piece Of grub on it, broke in Phil
Benjamin im~pstiently, looked like roast
goose I'm for that, Florrie says to the
waiter, and -"
when they brought it in to him, Florrie
says it was just a pigs foot" concluded
Max Lavine, That was the story de Ate
liked best.

But a show that beats the Hippodrome

Gee! House burning, smoke pouring all
around the street, inmates yelling, Fire

on the street are n lot Of dube dressed like
soldiers and oil have TO line up FIRST, answer
TO the roll call and salute the Boss Croker
Of the burg before they can go to work on

there are miles and miles Of pictures in some
