 private cars conveyed the guests from
 country to country, a different course
 being served at each The home of

 Miss Chary Smith, 954 Park avenue,
 Germany; that>of Mrs. Lucien T. War
 ner, on Broad street, England; that
 Mrs. William Griffith, at s6O Clinton ton avenue, America, while that of
 Mrs William Griffith, a 1860 Clinton

 tion, represented Japan. Each resi-
 dence was decorated with the colors
 and flowers of the country which it
 represented and the young women who
 served the courses were dressed after the fashion of that country. The members of the Delta Gamma so-
 ciety assisted in serving the guests in Germany, the Standard Bearers in
 France, the Four Leaf Clover club in
 America and the Court1and School girls in Japan.
 A double wedding was performed Tuesday morning at the rectory of the Kings Highway Congregational church by Rev. P. B. Matthias. Miss Clara Shilling of 1887 Boston avenue l and MT. Ainsworth Hudson of Strat- ford, were married at the same time that MT. Hudson's sister, Miss Bernice Hudson, of Stratford, and MT. Carl Kappe, proprietor of Hubert's art
 store, were welded. A reception and luncheon at the home of MT. and Mrs. Charles Hudson of Stratford, parents of MT. Hudson and Mrs. Kappe, fol- l lowed the ceremony.

People who are confined within doors
and who are deprived of fresh, inyig-

life is unhealthy and a danger to the

The republican platform as adopted
yesterday follows.
In 1861 the republican party stood
for the union. As it stood for the union
OF states, it now stands for an united
people. true to American ideals, loyal
to American traditions. knowing no
allegiance except to the constitution.
to the government and to the flag OF
the United States We believe in
American policies at home and abroad.
American Rights.
We declare that we believe in and
will enforce the protection Of every
American citizen in all the rights
secured to him by the constitution,
treaties and the law Of nations, at
home and abroad. by land and sea
These rights, which, in violation Of
the specific promise Of their party
made at Baltimore in 1912, the demo-
cratic president and the democratic
congress have failed to defend, we
will unfinchingly maintain.
Foreign Relations.
We desire peace, the peace of JUS
tice and right, and believe in main
tanning a straight and honest neu-
trality between the belligerents in the
great war in Europe We must per
form all our duties and insist upon
all our rights as neutrals without fear
and without favor. We believe that
peace and neutrality as well as the
dignity and influence of the United
States cannot be preserved by shifty
pedients. by phrase making, by
performances in language, or by attl-
tudes ever changing in an effort to
secure groups of voters.
THE present administration has de-
stroyed our influence abroad and hui
inflated US in our own eyes. The re
publican party believes that firm
consistent and courageous foreign
policy always maintained by republi-
can presidents in accordance with
American traditions, is the best, as il
is the only true way to preserve ouI
peace and restore us to our rlghtfu
place among the nations. We believe
in the pacific settlement of interna
tional disputes and favor the estab
lishment of a world court for tina
purpose.
Mexican Affairs.

devastated, their homes destroyed

GROOMING HARDING.
test of Harding popularity, as a
dark horse presidential candidate was
attempted during Thursday mornings
Coliseum session. The Ohioan had
just been elected permanent chair
man as reward for his excellent be-
hayior as temporary presiding officer
and the satisfaction which his key
note speech gave to the old guard
The applause, which lasted a few min
utes, proved that Harding was one of
the best liked men in the convention,
but hardly presidential timber. OF
course, 1t was but a preliminary
sklrmish or beating of the bushes by
the Ohioan's friends. Too, it must be
borne in mind that the delegates
bound by pledges could not consistent
ly join in the Harding demonstration
at this time. How they might act aft
er they had been released and per-
mitted to vote their second choice is
a matter for no inconsiderable specu-
lation when the name of Harding is
mentioned in connection with the
presidential nomination Harding is
senator from Ohio He owns a daily
newspaper in Marion He is said to
have risen via the printers devil route
He still helps the foreman make up
his paper when he is home, and stands
around the composing room turtles
and smokes his corn cob pipe while
talking shop with the boys. Harding
is Of fine address. though not flashily
so. He has a kindly face, with strong
lines, showing him to be a man of
character and pOSitiyeness.
ROOSEVELT IL EXPECTED.
The impression grows that Roose-
welt will be in Chicago Saturday.
He has said that he will come and at
tend the republican convention if he
is invited to do so by the officers Of
the convention. At the same time the
moose organization is experiencing
difficulty in controlling the radical
delegates IN the progressive Conven-
ton at the Auditorium. They want to
nominate Roosevelt and so TO their
homes. They are not in the least con-
cerned in the proceedings al the Col

The advent of spring was officially
announced this morning by the mer-
chants of the city, in their annual ex-
hibition, and opening of the spring

into the annual affair, has placed dec

about their place of business. aims,
ferns, roses, and flowers of all de
scriptions add feature of attractive
ness and beauty, The artistic effect
of the decorations add materially to
the elaborate display of merchandise
in all its forms.
The display windows of the various
stores are especially attractive at

made to place on display then must

and general rejoicing, the general
public is responding TO the call of

ure is shown in the new models,
which, while not affecting the silhou.
cite, still puts the stamp of indivld-
uality upon each costume, sufficient
to mrak it apart from the other cos
tunes previously shown.
Sport clothes continue to have
their run OF popularity, and are shown
in all sorts of varied colors, attract

size, shape, color, trimming, or any
feature. o. OF course there are decid.
eddy new ideas carried out in all lines
of the pretty. head pieces. Just
where this distinction becomes an
innovation is hard to state. The
fact that there is. on display in the

it would be possible to desire tells
the whole story.

making an especial effort in this an
