from the White House tonight. 1t
is the longest and probably the most
complete statement ever put out from

Democrats who may seek to make
campaign material out of the former
presidents charges.

Colonel Roosevelt's leaders instituted

With Mrs, Kahn.

Many unique and original ideas
have been developed by Ardmore hos
tesses, but none more deserving of
that compliment than Mrs. Julius
Kahn's party Of Wednesday.
In the early part of the afternoon
Mrs. Kahn invited her guests to en-.
joy a series of card games.
TO some of the more watchful it
might have been obvious that her par.
lor door had remained closed during
the afternoon, but this bit of mystery
only added zest to the games.
At a quarter to four the hostess
rolled back the sliding doors and, beat
ing on a big pan, announced that a
stop of twenty minutes would be made
for dinner and that the first car would
be served in the eating station.
The room was a Terfect reproduc-
tion of Harvey eating house.
There are few women in any COM
munity who have travelled as exten-
sively as Mrs. Kahn and her familiar
ity with eating houses stood her in
good stead
The counters formed the usual L
with revolving seats surrounding it.
Four Harvey girls, in regulation
waitress costumes, served the guests.
Misses Regina Blank, Lillian McNeese,
Thurlow Ward and Miss Ellen Dick
son We're the mattresses.
On the counter were all of the eat
ables usually found at a Harvey eat
ing station-tempting mounds of de-
licious doughnuts, deep meringued
pies with flaky crusts, sandwiches of
all description-in fact to name the
menu would be to include all The de-
licious eatables of the holiday season.
To the guests of Mrs. Kahn's charm
ing parties. it has long since been owl
dent that Mrs. Kahn has not outgrown

POINT OUT NATURAL BEAUTY
Good Idea Developed In Boston Might

err Places.

Believing that the main reason moro
people do not make greater use OF the
wonderful variety of parks in ana
about the city is that not enough inVi-
tation is extended. the public recrea-
ton league of Boston has been con-
Quoting for several months n series or

Parties are arranged for informal out
inCs to the natural beauties in the
vicinity of Boston. The walks are for
the public without membership, dues.
or other formality. Anybody interest
ed is welcomed The invitation Is CIV
en- through notices in the daily press,
and by circulars sent out by mail.
The example II is expected will incite
private individuals TO organize inde-
pendent walks Although each party
has guides, their efforts are not so
much to point out every feature, but
to discourse upon few and to hint OF
the others that lie just on this side or
on that. and so induce the trampers
to return in smaller parties by them
selves. The public recreation league
is really adapting to outdoor use the
decent system which number OF mu'
seums have tried with success.-From

Commercial Value of Gardens.

During the past few years the
commercial market value of gardens
has gained a very pleasing recogni-
ton in and about Los Angeles. says
the Times of that city. But few
years ago tracts were >staked off into
lots. a few burrows turned to indi-
cate intended streets and "the sale
is on" Now we have every interme-
date phase from this "boom-day
schemes up to furnished houses and
fully-planted gardens. We are an
impatient people. more so than any
other in the world. and we would buy
the finished article or home. Trees
and plants a decade or score of
years old are now at a decided prem
ium and well-planned gardens of age
prove the strongest factor in bring
ing about sales to people Of taste

AoItatIon for Street Trees.

During a few weeks just passed
there has been considerable discus
sion OF the street-tree question and
the writer has been appealed to by
officials and others OF local civil or
carnations to figuratively come on
in; the waters fine" This movement
came up at least three months too
late. for the agitators were told that
the city had not funds for the plant
ing or care of street trees and that
the annual budget had just been
passed. 1t is hoped that powerful
and well-organized effort will be made
early in 1918, when 1t may prove eff
fectual. But how shall we hope to
get anything esthetic from city
council composed entirely of aver
age business men? That class should
be in the majority. but we need at
least one who will persistently look

seems to vindicate the contention
that modern violins are as good IN

number of violins were played In a

taken from the musical audience
present. with the result. says Paris

LOCAL PRIDE IN THE WEST
One Reason Why Cities There Arc
More Attractive Than Their
Sisters of the East.

Altogether there are more than
sixty cities in the United States en-
gagged in the study and some stage
of the work OF city planning. The
purpose is not only to make these
cities comedy and attractive from the
standpoint of art and architecture,
but to provide for reasonable growth.
so that there will be one or moro
civic centers, each with radiating
streets and harmonious structures on
them. A prime necessity OF such
planning is to provide highways that
will obviate congestion In the civic
centers for years and years to come
and to make these centers and the
highways leading from them beautiful
and useful.
The west has taken the lead in this
work. The task of planning such inn
provements has become distinct
| profession. a sort of graduate or adj
vanced branch OF architecture. A
dozen men are leading in it and r-ac-
tically they are all graduates, II the
! term may be used. of Daniel II. Burn
/ hams workshop, or, better yet, the
Burnham School of Architecture Tor
cities. One reason for the eagerness
with wl.;ch the west has seized upon
the need of making its cities as at
tractive as possible is that there Is
more local pride TO be found in the
west than elsewhere. Everyone wishes
to boost his own town and everyone
likes to make more or less quiei
boast that he lives lin about the pref
test place you can find anywhere II
this country. "-Boston Herald.
