Although San Diego's 1919
Exposition has had two days
during the present year that
passed the $4,000 mark and
, ,4rpassed the best days Of 1915,
by more than $4,000, there are
It least three coming dates that
ire expected to break these re-
cords. President Woodrow
Wilson has not set definite
time for his visit to the Exposi-
ton, but those on the inside say
that the Presidents visit to the
Panama California International
Exposition in the fall is assured.
Invitations have been sent to
Charles Evan Hughes and as
surances have been received
that if possible he will arrange
his itinerary to inclnde the Ex-
position city. The other big
day predicted for the ExpOsi-
tjon is Admission Day, Septem-
Der 9, when all Of California
will turn to San Diega's Dream
City for the biggest celebration
in the history of the state.

One Of the pretties tributes
ever paid an American singer
was at the Panama California
International Exposition at San
Diego Sunday, July d, when
Madame Bernie de Pasquali
sang to an outdoor audience Of
$4,000 persons at the famous
pipe organ. For an hour and
half the famous coloratura So
prano held the audience and
playing OF the "Star Spangled
Banner" by Tommasino's S Royal
Italian band, which is the Ex-
POSITIONS unfailing motion to
adjourn; was necessary to stop
the applause of the audience.
The program off cred by Mad
anne PasquaIi was the most
varied ever given on the Ex-
position grounds and the ac-
compartments included piano,
pipe organ, violio, flute and
band.

On the morning after Sidney had in
vited X. LIE Moyne to take her to walk.
Max Wilson came down to breakfast
rather late. Doctor Ed had breakfast
ed an hour before, and had already
attended, with much profanity on the
part of the patient, to. a boil ON the

Mr.. ROsenfeld buttoned up the blue
flannel shirt which, with a pair of Doc
tor Eds cast-off trousers, was his only
wear, and fished in his pocket.
"How much, Doc?"
1.-TWO dollars" said Doctor Ed brisk
ly.
Holy cats! For one jab of a knife /!

half for two dollars"

He was imperturbably strai ghtening

lend you the knife next time. and you
can let your wife attend to you"
Rosenfeld drew out a silver dollar,
and followed it reluctantly with limp
and detected dollar bill.
There's times" he said, "when, if
you'd put me and the missus and a
knife in the same room, you wouldn't
have much left but the knife"
Doctor Ed waited until he had made
his stiff-necked exit. Then he took the
two dollars, and, putting the money
into an envelope, Endorsed it In his

Max yawned.

Only a week--and love was one of
the things he had to give up, with
others. Not, of course, that he was in
love with Sidney then. But he had
been desperately lonely, and, for all
her practical clearheadedness, she was
softly and appealingly feminine. BY
way of keeping his head, he talked sud
denly and earnestly of Mrs. Mckee,
and food, and Title, and of Mr.. Wag-
ner and the pencil pad.

But he could hardly say that.
"Oh, don't know. Those things get
