II delicious iced drinks they are Oh
fering for sale at the Kirmess thls
week they give you your change! Nom, NOV,
what do you know about people nhe
that-and a charity Klrmess' too ,.
But the winsomeness OF tne lar
venders inclines one to buy, buy, puy'
beginning with the little violet bou-
tonnieres which are offered as one
steps in off the sidewalk
A pretty girl dances up to you, ana,
selecting a fragrant cluster from tile
flower tray suspended from her neck
by broad ribbons, smiles into your
eyes. SAYS "Buttonhole persuasively
and with a rising infection, and before
you can gather your scattered WITS
she has fastened the fragrant purple
blossoms to your coat lapel and re-
marks, "There you ares cents,
please Thank you!" Just that way
YOU know how it is done. But you
receive the remaining six bits from
your dollar!
By the way, while waiting for par
ty of friends last night 1 overheard
Joke on Roland Paul that is too good
to keep.
You remember, of course, that in the
-Four Seasons dance the song III Be
Your Honey" is sung by Miss Sophla
Dinkelspeil, Miss Ethelyn Carson, MISS
Florence Norton and Miss Jennie
Hartman, and you also recall the run
occasioned by Mr.. Paul, VINO hrst
waves his handkerchief firtatlously at
the pretty girls, then, half rising from
his seat. seems to scan them admiringly
through his opera glasses, and finally
goes out into the aisle and claps ana
sings a verse of the song Judah ana
the chorus. All this is a prearranged
stunt" as nearly every one recog-
nizes, even to the insistent usher VINO
comes forward and apparently tries to
pursuade Mr.. Paul that he is trans
crossing the rules of decorum.
Wednesday night an old gentleman
was seated near Mr.. Paul who did not
at once appreciate the fun of the situ-
alton, and, after placing restraining
hand on his enthusiastic neighbors
arm and after telling him to 'sit down,
| that he was making himself conspicu-
Gus and that he must be crazy, finally
firmly grasped the skirt of the culprits $
coat and did his very utmost TO force
him back into his seat. Mr.. Paul spent
the half hour of the intermission that
followed in endeavoring to convince his
would-be benefactor that he was sane
and in purchasing punch and hoWefs
respectively for all the men and women
who had witnessed the fray.
The dance last night went even bet
ter than on their opening presentation,
for the few little raw places always
/ observable even in a professional first
night performance have all dlsap-
peared. The result is delightful music
and dancing, youth and JOY, Ire ana
the shimmering of vari-colored lights
The real fun of the Kirmess Is back
of the stage, where the young people
foregather for their dances and where
one sees a polo girl and her escort prac-
ticing their steps, or a son of old Erin
stooping to fasten the moccasin of an
Indian maiden, or a Roumanian openly
admiring the touch of local color on
the rosy cheek of a Spanish dancer.
1t was whispered to me last night
that two engagements soon to be an
nounced have reached their happy de-
