BERRY JUBILEE

Opening Of the Strawberry Season
is to be Celebrated Next FRI

LITTLE FUSS, LOTS OF FUN
Publicity Committee Outlines Plans For Staging
Asssal Event At Commercial Hstel-Want
All Growers to be There

" S0WneISl1l
All Growers to be There
Strawberries are beginning tc
ripen and the publicity committee
of the Commercial club are busy
with plans for the annual Straw
berry Jubilee which will be given
Friday evening, May 8. The
affair will be staged at the Com
mercial Hotel with miscellaneous
fun in the ball room, the parlor
and the dining room.
Details have not yet all been
arranged but the committee is
ready to announce that all frills
have been tabooed and the eve-
ming will be devoted to a good
old-fashioned jollifcation for
everybody. Invitations are to be
formally extended to commercial
organizations Of all the neighbor-
ing towns and an especial effort
will be made to ginger up the
growers and make them forget
the serious side of the berry sea-
son.
The wives and sweethearts?
Sure they are included. In fact
they are to be the real guests of
honor. Disregarding the sugges-
tion of the club, the committee is
not going to ask the ladies to wear
their cook aprons and fuss around
with dishiug up anyof the feed.
If there is any dishing up to do
it will be done by the men them
selves.
Net Mssey- Making Sehe.e
Roughly speaking, the eve
ning's entertainment will con-
sist of dancing in the hall, cards
and talk in the parlor, straw
berries in the dining room and
music by the Commercial club
and Highland quartets in all three
places. 1t is the intention of the
committee to place the charges
as low as possible to meet actual
expenses, which will be governed
largely by appetites and the price
of berries. The charge will prob
ably be fifty cents a couple for
dancing and 35 cents a plate for
the luncheon.
One of the big features of the
evenings program and one which
it is thought will prove to be the
strongest drawing card, is that
there will be no speech-making.
Everything is coming along
just lovely" said w. r. Craw- |
ford, chairman of the committee. |
Even the weather man is get
ting enthusiastic and is putting !

time. We want everybody to
come, and especially the growers
that they may get acquainted
with each other, with our out-of-
town guests and with everybody. |
It's not going to be any dress-up
affair and if any of the people
want to come in berry-picking
costume it's going to be perfect
ly all right. Formalities are going
to be a minus quantity and we
are endeavoring to vary the pro-
gram sufficiently so that every
body can enjoy themselves. We
realize that it is a busy time of
year but if it were not a busy
time there would be nothing to
celebrate. So there you are.
Let's get together and make
little noise and have a little fun" ("

Wars Ravages Destroy
Gallo Flavor of Restau-
rant Bill of Fare All
Foods Americanized.
EVOLUTION OF THE MENU

The European war has caused more
trouble in Philadelphia hotels than the
average person realizes. In addition to
affecting American ships, 1t has worked
a metamorphosis in American hotels and
has to remain neutral.
Proprietors of hotels and cafes here
found it absolutely necessary to neutral
lie their menus, and one attached here
with, with its neutral interpretations,
shows that the bonifaces do not intend
to take chances. The patron who desires
to know what he's getting in advance will
breathe a sigh Of relief for the change.
He will know. for instance, when he
orders "croustades de pommes de terre."
that it's simply creamed potatoes, and
that barsch la Russo is plain, ordinary
soup, with dish around it. Then, too,
he finds 1t such a relief to know that
"canards rotis" is simply roast duck,
while hors d'oeuvres are olives.
The translation, however, was not made
simply for convenience; 1t was a matter
of diplomacy The hotel men discovered
that a patriotic German guest did not
care to be greeted with Frenchy menu
Uttered with "ques' and "ones,' not to
mention other complications.
GERMAN FOOD DISGUISED.
Nor did an ardent Frenchman care to
see such announcements as frankfurters
and sauerkraut or hamburger steak and
liverwurst.
Therefore, the frankfurter dish has
been disguised to sausage and shredded
cabbage, while lverwurst is announced
as American pudding.
Neuchatel cheese Is concealed. while
smearcase and cauerbeig Is simply Ia
beled as bread and cottage cheese. Pig
knuckles and kraut have been succeeded
by short pork and cabbage.
ENGLISH DISHES AMERICANIzBD.
Even some of the pronounced English
dishes in the popular restaurants havs
been changed. The Yarmouth bloater
and Yorkshire pudding are now given as
Nova Scotia herring and American plum
duff English potato chips and Birming-
ham beer, which are popular in many
places, are now given as Saratoga chips
and beer. Dalemartin soup is simply
bean soup.
Austrian dishes have also been Ameri-
canized.
1--WE had to take such steps for peace"
said q local hotel man, because there
were many complaints from our guests of
all nationalities. And II there Is any
place that should be peaceful it's din
ing-room.
"Many impatient customers are ready
to fight anyhow If they are not served
with lightning speed. and when their pa
triotism is Jared by seeing dishes an
nounced in the language OF the enemy 1t
is too much. Then, too, they can order
more quickly, and it saves time all
around We intend to keep neutral food
until the big fight has bean settled"

BROADTAIL MAKES
BID FOR POPULARITY
IN AFTERNOON GARB
Domestic Fabric Utilized by
Modistes in Absence of
Foreign Material-Redin-
cote High in Favor.

Imported dress fabrics fall very far
short OF the usual annual quantity this
season, and consequently our own do
mestic fabrics are exploited by the mod
istes and used to develop some of the
handsomest models shown.
The popularity Of broadtau would seem
10 be ensured by the fact that it is
favorite with shops OF very high grade,
and it ranks with chiffon velvet and plush
in its suitability for afternoon costumes.
II is far superior in quality to the i'm
ltation fur materials OF the past in It's
softness and its richness of tone, while
IN the deep blues and the browns, such
as tobacco and tete de negre. 1t is par
tlculaTly alluring.
The afternoon gown OF the illustration
has unusual beauty and distinction Of
style, II is Of the so-calIed midnight
blue" color, and 1t is combined with
satin OF the same tone.
The coat belongs TO the redlngote class.
II Is name that covers a multitude OF
designs. and there are many variations 10
the one theme.
In this instance the circular skirt of
the redingote is attached in a novel way
to the fitted yoke Of satin. From the
deep points OF the yoke depend heavy
silk tasseIs Of the same midnight blue.
me sleeves are or satin and project
from the coat-like sleeves from out OF a

The collar is ono of the most attractive
features of the coat, shrred as II is, and
yet not altogether losing the straight line
OF an ordinary collar.
The fur that edges the collar and cuffs
IL Russian beaver, This bears very lit
tie resemblance 10 the silky fawn-Col-
orsd fur that We are accustomed 10 uu-
der that name. II Is dyed TO a much
deeper shade OF brown, and it is un-
plucksd and still has the occasional white
hair that gives It somewhat frosted
appearance.
The coat Is slightly opened IN front.
with lapsls that are faced with satin
and trimmed with the fur to match the
collar and cuffs,
very pretty touch is given 20 the
gown BY the pipings OF satin. It is the
sort Of thing that the French have al
ways done to perfection.
One OF the minor details, perhaps but
something that absolutely transforms
the appearance OF q garment and raises
II from the ordinary homespun kind OF
thing to the aFistocracy Of clothes.
We are beginning TO value these things
and to see how much is gained by atten-
tion TO the fine particulars.

As an experiment one can make a first
attempt on very small scale. There are
miniature hotbeds TO be bought complete
as To- frame and glass. that measure
20 by y inches, and the price is sl.35.
A bed OF this size Is about large enough
for half dozen plants, but the number
OF flowers on a single plant is out OF all
proportion 10 its size
The question of soil is not a difficult
one, Just ordinary earth, spaded and en-
riched with a good fertilizer, such as
plant food or bone mealwill answer very
well.
The violet plants, at Just the right stage
for trausplantng 10 the cold frame, are
sold BY florists al the price Of sL75 for
a dozen plants.
In January or early February, they
will be in bloom If they are planted now.
ami just now Is the time when they
should be planted.
There is a charm to town-bred flow
ers, possibly It is the element of the un-
expected, combined with the element Of
chance.

CObOGNE, sept. 2S.
The enthusiasm of the crowds in Ber-
lin over German successes is depicted
in dispatch to the Kolnische zeitung
from Berlin. The dispatch contains the
first mention of the Kaiserin's presence
IN Berlin since the beginning of hostill-
ties, and tells Of touching scene around
the Imperial Palace The dispatch says:
IA large crowd of people assembled
in front of the palace and with great en-
thusiasm called time and again for the
Kaiserin. As stated in the Vossische
zeitung (official organ, the latter APP

to the crowd, deeply moved A man in
the crowd made a short address and the
kaiserin waved her thanks to him. Then
she withdrew.
But the crowd continued to wait for
her to reappear until a late hour. At II
O'Clock 1t was scarcely believed by any
one that the Kaiserin would show her
self again. Suddenly the curtain of her
window was seen to move. The Kaiserin
appeared and waved to the crowd Be-
hind her stood the Crown Princess The
whole scene lasted only a minute or two
and then everything was dark again.
Then n movement was noticed behind the
large balcony window in the middle of
the palace. The doors were opened and
the Kaiserin and the Crown Princess
stepped out, followed by man in civilian
attire.
"Noticeably deeply moved. the Kaiserin
waved her handkerchief. The Crown
Princess, with an extremely graceful ges-
ture. asked for silence. The crowd sud-
denly became quiet, whereupon the man
In civilian attire, a brother of War Min
lister Won Falkenham, made an announce
ment which was interpreted by the crowd
as another report of victory. Then
expressions of great joy burst FORTH such
as will never be forgotten. The scene ON
the balcony was equally impressive The
Kaiserln. in tears, embraced the Crown
Princess. and the mother and daughter
kissed each other. After the Crown Prin-
cess had kissed the Kaiserln's hand both
were compelled to wave acknowledgment
of the crowds joyous cries.

A WINTER VIOLET BED
NOW is TIME FOR PLANTING.

When woman once begins to garden
she is lost, Perhaps it is the curiosity
with which she is supposed to be en-
dowed, and after she once starts the
variety is too infinite for custom to stale
or time to wither her enthusiasm.
To slip out into the garden on winter
morning, even If the garden is the small
est Of city back yards and 10 gather n
handful Of fragrant English violets for

If one has watched and tended the vio-

flowers that they will bring much joy
and very little heartache TO the novice

Gray would then be forty-f1ve and
Alice more than forty. No matter,
he would wait for her.
They saw each other infrequently
and always bowed. They knew that
there was no faltering in their faith.
And so year passed by. Rarely,
when Gray had occasion to pass the
house, he would see the old man, i'm
placable as ever, seated upon the
porch, spelling out the Braille words
with his right forefnger. He seemed
conscious of the doctors presence
and would look up and scowl heav-
lily when Gray went by.
One day Gray had an urgent call
on the telephone. 1t was from Alice.
Won't you come up atonce?" she
begged. Doctor Chfden is away and
father has had bad accident"
A medical man knows no enmities
where his profession is concerned.
Half an hour late Gray was at the
house and being shown into the old
mans sick room.
Hendon had been knocked down
by an automobile while trying to
cross the street. He had taken mali
cious delight in running away from
his daughter, and had been struck
fairly by the machine. He was bad
ly bruised, but, what was worst, the
tendons of his right hand had been
crushed.
Gray saw at glance that, while
the hand could be made serviceable,
Hendon would never again be able to
straighten the fingers completely.
However, he did not tell Hendon,
who continued to taunt' him.

When the news was broken to him
the old mans agony was painful to
witness. He lay still without speak
ing for days together, interspersing
these periods of moroseness, how
ever, with outbreaks of manaical
fury. At such times only Gray could
restrain him from f1inging himself
out of the window. Somehow the
young doctor seemed to have ac-

morose old man.
It was after one of these maniacal

just now to examine your eyes"
Hendon lay on the bed in logged
