The really up-to-date farmerette is

fell to their lot to handle the hoe,
work in the dairy or look after the
chickens. A WORD on the costumes
worn by the Wellesley farmerettes and
described in the New York Tribune
may be of value:
Among other and more important
things. the oficial uniform of the
organization will be tried out and
decided upon. AS a matter of fact,
this has been as good as decided
already. but 1t Is a state secret, which.
as yet. am not at liberty to divulge:

are quite safe in taking my word for

land army of America marches into
the field it will be just about the

! to pay for the privilege of wearing
such a costume, and IL any recruits
are needed for the Wellesley camp I
would suggest that the director ex-
hibit that officers Uniform. and I will
guarantee that there will be no
dearth of volunteers.

says correspondent of the New York
Herald. There she was presented to

American lads to take tea with her
at her residence. the Splendide Hotel.
them, too. it may be said. had a royal
time
Having enjoyed the. hospitality of
the duchesse. the $50 privates put
their heads together and decided that
it would be only proper to return the
hospitality. Accordingly, they ap-
pointed a committee among them
selves and arranged for her highness'
entertainment at real old-fashioned
picnic.
The place selected was across the
lake from AK. The duchesse. hav-
ing accepted the boys invitation. they
borrowed the Y. NJ. C. A. steamer
which makes daily trips for them
about the lake. They loaded the craft
with ham sandwiches. hard-boiled
eggs. potato salad. the materials for
tea. coffee and lemonade. and all the
candy they could lay their hands on.
Then. with the duchesse and the duke
and their daughter, Princess Gene
We've. they set sail for the picnic
ground.
The ladies of the Y. NJ. c. A. at
AK also went along. With these to
help them the boys spread out the
feast. The place was Hautecombe
Abbey. the last resting place of the
heads of the House of Savoy. but the
presence of neither the living nor
the dead potentates in the least dis
turbed the youthful American hosts.
Nor were the duke and his family
IN the least i'll at ease. Along with
their hosts they sat on the grass. 1t
was all as one Of the Y. NJ c. A. girls
expressed il later:
Maybe it did look strange to see
the sister OF king sitting on the
ground eating American .hard-bofled
eggs and ham sandwiches, but what
of that? It's certainly suSe that the
enjoyed themselves. So did their
hosts. 1t was the incest thing in the
world to see how those boys took
care of their guests"

Dobbs Ferry, gone doubly over the

three fire trucks, 1000 school children
and 100 autos into the parade. The
ball was pushed by John H. Hill, of
the village trustees; C. P. Fields,
chairman of the Liberty Loan Commit

Board of Education, and the Rev.
Philip Bird. They guided the sphere
by the push rods, while Red Cross
women pulled the ropes.
At Tarrytown, Ossining, Hastings,
Croton and Scarborough royal greet
ings were received. Over $50 Scouts of
Yonkers, under Scout Executive Homer

He Forgot
Helps Sell Bonds
In City Hall Park
Auditors Think Boys Lapse
Is Oratorical Pause,
and Subscribe

The boys had broomstick guns, held
stiffy over small, squared shoulders,
the girls wore red crosses on their
Enthusiastically crosses, to be sure,
because they cut them out of red
cheesecloth themselves, and sometimes
the scissors went little crooked. But
the children of Public School 1O6, 253
Lafayette Street, found yesterday that
broomsticks and wabbly crosses are
quite to the point when it comes to
selling Liberty bonds, for when they
came marching into City Hall Park
in the afternoon bond selling took a
decided squirt.
They danced and sang and said
"pieces" for the crowd and every num-
Der of their bill brought people to
the counter to sign up for bonds.
Joseph Salamoni, of the sixth grade,
was perhaps the only participant who
wasn't blissfully happy. Joseph had
thought it was going to be a great
day, getting out of school early, march
ing and waving flags and everything,
but disaster came upon Joseph that
ruined the whole afternoon. He for
got his piece.
He never forgot piece before. but
the big megaphone and the interested
faces in his audience-he was accus-
toned only to the bored countenances
of his classmates proved his undoing.
"Ladies and gentlemen" he began
"Maybe you think it's funny that /, a
little boy. am here. But if you do, it's
because you aren't moved by the great
cause that confronts US. We-ah-
er"---
1t really wasn't much of a lapse
everybody thought it was just oratori-
cal pause-but Joseph. his eyes rowing
wildly behind the megaphone. knew the
time was a thousand years. And
though he came quickly to his own
rescue and remembered Immediately
that the next paragraph was "What
will bond do?" he was disgusted
with his speechmaking powers for life
and left the platform with solemn
vow never to appear in public again.
He will. though. because his speech
sold many bonds, and the Liberty Loan
committee is not going to let him
out as easy as that.

Theodore Roosevelt met the "Blue
Devils" of France yesterday at the
Harvard Club.
"Dee- lighted, certainly dee-lighted, "
beamed the Colonel.
"Vive PAmerique! Vive Teddy!"
cried the one hundred picked poilu from
Verdun and the Marne, and the cheers
could be heard block.
The meeting was arranged by Guy
Emerson. director of publicity of tho
Liberty Loan Committee. Roosevelt
was lunching with Martin Egan. Finley
Peter Dunno and Julian Street when
the blue-clad Frenchmen marched in
with bayonets fixed. The luncheon was
forgotten. The Colonel was introduced
to Lieutenant Albert LIE 'Moal, com
manding, and to the other officers.

"there are no men in all the world who
every good American is as glad to well
come as you soldiers of France. | have
been President of the United States. |
am proud of that, but prouder far am |
that l have four sons fighting in
France"
The soldiers smiled their apprecia-
tion, and the Colonel continued.
zone Of them has been wounded and
has received the Croix de Guerre.
There is no possession in my family
that I praise more highly. And when
we have beaten the Roche and made
civilization safe for the nations of man
kind we shall owe the greatest possible
debt to France.
"There is only one set Of men who
are supremely to be envied to-day.
They are the men to whom the great
good fortune has fallen of fighting in
this great war for humanity. As |
have told my fellow countrymen, in the
future it will be more pleasant for a
man to explain why he fought for his
cause than to explain why he did not
l conclude by saluting from the bottom
of my heart the flag and soldiers Of
France"
Sing Song of Poilu
The soldiers, at attention, were un-
able to cheer, but their faces were
wreathed in smiles.
The "Devils," not to be outdone in
amiability, then sang their famous
campaign song for the Colonel's delec-
tation. Entitled the "Son of the Poilu,"
