An interesting episode took place on FRI

vsre spied by his fellow troopers on

The tea given yesterday afternoon for
the advertising women at the Adelphia
under the auspices of the philadelphia
League Of Advertising Women was bril-
liant success. Tea was served In the
Gold Room of the hotel and the affair was
altogether informal and charming Mrs
Leon p. Heacock was hostess and was
assisted by a number OF the League
members
Among the women at the tea were MISS
j. ]. Martin and Miss Jane Carroll OF
New York; Mrs. Skerrett, Miss Aida
Weber. Miss ]. c. Duval, Mrs. Jones' Mrs.
Leon B. Heacock, Miss Black, Miss
Blanche Fisher. Mrs. s. Y. WheIen and
hosts OF others.
Never have I seen such sight as
last nights cabaret party at the Bellevue
Rtratford, where there was a special affair
for the visitors in the huge ball room
We could scarcely get our noses into the
entrance, much less our feet upon the
noor,. and, believe me, 1t was some dance;
the music was simply great and those
who managed to get in and command
tables and eats certainly enjoyed it. It
was some funny sight to see men and
women hurrying around the Bellevue
carrying cans OF soup. potted beef corn
fakes in small packages. biscuits, soaps
tissue paper towels and heaven knows
what; they put them neatly down on
chairs and tables and danced on gaily
FOR fox trot or waltz to find that some
one else. thinking these were still pres
ents, had sampled the samples, and SO 1t
went, The Californians were giving out
fruits in what was once the Palm Room,
but which has been cleared of all furni-
tnre and was being used as an Assembly
Room. The Toronto laddies sang gaily as
they waited in line for oranges.
But certainly was disgusted with the
American public which was at our very
doors; they did not have the patriotism
10 remove their hats when the bands
passed, playing the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner," The Mayor was in car near Broad
and Chestnut street and every time the
national air was played he pulled of his hat
With graceful gesture He. also led some
OF the singers In the parade and had
wonderful time, every one else enjoying
Il, too.
