Yes. | jitneyed to the Chestnut
street auditorium and resumed my
tour where ! left off the night before.
did not tarry for a Flowery Bower
OF loveliness just inside the gates of
Fairyland attracted my attention
Ladies Bountiful" making hearts
glad with Utopian chocolates. Now
my heart was far from sad but the
deliciousness of Utopian raised my
spirits to higher pitch of keen de-

spaghetti calls me on and the spirit

eve is attracted by familiar blue
label on a mountain of various sized
cans. For better view | move closer
and behold an old acquaintance, Mr.
Henry who introduces me to Wag-
ner's Spaghetti-with tomato sauce
and cheese. / am served, most cour-
teously, with generous dish. The
golden morsels fairly melt in my
mouth. Inwardly I bless the inventor
OF spaghetti and especially Mr.. Wag-

an excited throng. 1t takes but little
time, however, to discover that THE
Jumping Calf is the cause of it all

beautifully decorated booth of the
antisuffragists l had some ideas of
my own on the suffrage question but

weaker sex.
And then, delight of delights-Russ'

crinkly cones This is surely a night
of nights.
Just few steps and 1 find myself
before a bower of snowy whiteness,
presided over by a milkmaid in
freshly-starched linen. I am helped
to crystal cups of rich, creamy milk
-and sandwiches. Here I am told of
the careful handling, the expert
analysis, and sanitary conditions un-
der which the Pennsylvania Milk
Products Company handles its pro
auctions of pure milk. cream. butter

new-found delights to me.
ON my left is platform, which at
lrst apears to be stage set for a
drama, or, perhaps an opera. 1 look

call 1t very sweet picture. indeed.
After time before this attractive
scene, retrace my steps and am be-
