lans, Joe wideners, Berwinds and other
prominent "Phila-Newporters are among
them John II. Drexel also will have a
box, though he is, of course a New

car leading q tiny boy by the hand. out

with bow and was back again before
any one had had time to realize the car
had stopped 1t was that way all down
the street; any little courtesy he could

the brightness that little man in his
daily round Of taking up nickels for his
company spread about him and how great
the influence OF a smile can be. For GER
tainly every one in that car went on his
