French Commission will pass, for all the
world loves soldier and especially a
great one such as Joffre. PHI.
And Americans are always at the fore
where a hero is concerned, you know.
So from the statiol. to every stopping
place on the route General Iottre and
Minister Viviani will be greeted by all
citizens who are good men ard true.

Judging from all | have heard Of the
preparations and booth decorations 1t
will be a splendid affair. Mrs. William
Phi,er is at the head, and will be as.
sisted by a great number of women who
live out on the Main Line.
There will be every kind OF attraction
possible, It seems to me. Really. I some
times wonder how they can think Up so
many and such a variety of side shows.
It's a funny thing, YOU know, but

Main Line Is to be represented at one
or more tables. As for the things for
sale and the eats which may be had for
a small amount, well, It will be hard to
believe that there is a scarcity Of food,

Then, my dears, there is to be beauty
show, presided over by Margot Scull and
Hannah Randolph and many are the
guesses and questions on this subject
What do you suppose these girls are
going to do? ! bet they have some joke
up their sleeves, or maybe II Is real

UP of the debutantes Of the season. Or
perhaps, better still. those of coming
years, who would probably lie less self
conscious about it.
There are to be movies and pony rides,
and every fancy article ever made under
the shining sun will be found at the
many booths.
yTHEN out at the Pennsylvania Mu-

Park, this afternoon there will be the
