And now the great fete Of all ma

O'Clock tonight at the Armory on
Washington avenue and not on the
lawn adjoining the Episcopal church
on Palace avenue. The weather man
is blamed for the change, for what
comfort would there be sitting out on
a lawn dampened by the rain, sleet
hail or whatever it was that fell this
morning from the leaden skies? No,
it would never do to hold that fete of
ali nations outdoors after such wealth

have selected the armory in which
hundreds of chairs will be rushed this
afternoon and have made all the ar
arrangements so that the affair will be
Ieven more pleasant and entertaining
than was at first planned.

and made richer in every way More

cured and the beautiful girls of this
city and the handsome young men

brown eyes and sunny smiles will also
be there to charm and the Petite Par
isienne with arched eyebrows and dim,
lpled cheeks, she will be seen too AMI
in the latest modes de Belle Paris.
Veil of Mystery
Those in charge of the fete have
thrown veil of mystery over the
numbers of the program to make them
the more interesting for if there is
any greater drawing card than Curl
osity press agents have not discov-
cred it. However, it mas leaked out
that one of the well known officials
in the capitol building will appear in
the role of His Excellency Lord What
is His Name, the British Ambassador.
He will have on the regulation dress
suit, the high silk hat, the patent
| leather pumps and a wide red ribbon
across his inflated chest and all over
his coat will be medals, gold silver
and bronze and a leather medal for
a recent successful engagement with

said to be fair in complexion and to
have a stage presence that will cut a
wide swath or field. Don't forget to
see him, girls!
Grand Opera, Too.
1t is said that Gus Koch, Frank
| Keefe, Albert Clancy and others will
have on some brilliant costumes. So
will those in the girls quartet. The
Rev. F. W. Pratt will sing two
tenor solos and Rogers Fiske and lit.
/ tie Norma Fiske will play bewitching
violin solos. There is going to be
grand opera music, Caruso. scotti
Farrar, contributing their voice-en-
cravings to the musical repast.
Food for All.
And there will be more than music
or dazzling costumes to feed the fancy
for some substantial meat sandwiches
the upper and lower deck made of de.
licious graham, whole wheat. three
quarter wheat, rye, Boston brown
bread and special imported tortillas
to satisfy cravings. Of course there
will be coffee made by Turks, who
know the art from A to and many
other foods and drinks from all over
the world to furnish a menu for those
who attend the fete of all nations.
Coffee en- Demi-Tasse.
From all accounts it is going to be a
, great show in every way and the price
of the gate ticket is stupendously low
Any number of the program is said tc
e be well worth double the price of the
r admission and this does not refer tc
