we'll men have died and worms have eaten them OH slighter provocation
 The Band played on, while the Girl with the Pink Bow in her hair tele- graphed another wireless to her suiter Who had saved the situation by his per emptory tone and was thus rewarded by her.
 Let us move nearer to the Band" l suggested presently and accordingly we got busy, and in the melee got mixed up with punches of harmless boys and young girls, one of hom was carrying a big, fat, good natured baby, with whom Polly immediately got on intimate terms.
 She pinched its greasy arms and caught its feet as it swung in time with the music; she asked it's name, and heard how 1t was just 15 months old and how many teeth 1t had.
 While she drew out these interesting de- tails the music stopped and two large and influential masculine voices reached us one of which was saying:
 They are both honest, but Roosevelt g the safest. Y see, he's been in before and he knows the ropes"
 But look at Wilson," the other ob- served. Did you read his platform?"
 "Ain't got nothin' an Teddy-Popular election of Senator's; redoocin' the cost of living Protective Tariff: helping the laborer,' reeounted the voice.
 Woman Suffrage" the other inter- rupted vociferously.
 That's all right, all right" came the answer. Give 'em their rights, of course but they ought to stay at home and raise babies and chickens"
 The climax was reached when the Band played a popular tune and every music lover and non-musie lover In the crowd began to sway and hum and beat time to the pretty refrain, and little girl jn a blue frock and pretty little blue socks and blue shoes began to dance right in front Of us and everybody, even the Band looked at her and admired her.
 With her neutral curiosity, Polly, of course, inquired what the pretty little girls name was, and one of a group near >us told us 1t was Celie Somebody-Ive forgottenl
 Presently most of the Band had their eyes on little Celie-maybe they had little Cclies of thelr own at home, and she touched S tender spot in their hearts, and sine danced and danced, like an elf and it was she who drew my attention to tho personnel of the Band.
 All of the men were so nice looking and jolly and fat and good patured and they looked like they justs splayed be- cause they liked it.
 Anyway
 It was the picture of the little Celle dancing about on the grass to the Rat, Tat Tat of the Drum and the smiling mu- sicans as they played away on their sev- eral instruments that l carried away with me, as we walked across the Park to the car.
 Pollys mind was evidently running in the same channel.
 Dolly" she inquired presently, have t.s h l,r than anything else you know, in your next re-incarnation?"
 "A Park Musician, preferably the Drummer Boy,''@1 replied. and Polly said that the girl guessed right the very first time" ane the riddle was solved.
