ARE you going to the Historical Sc

ciety's reception Saturday? | am.
The council of the society has decided
to resume the receptions to soldiers, sail
ors and marines which were held so sue
cessfully last May and June, and, so the
war service committee of the society mas
announced that the first autumn reception
will be held this Saturday evening from
to 10:45. There's to be an exhibition oil
the museum of historical relics and the
gallery of historical paintings, and there
will be more interest than ever now that
this stupendous war has given so many
relics and thrills to be added TO the col
lection.
An orchestra will be there to play for
the dancing and a Liberty Sing Will be
led by Mr.. Albert Hoxie, and that's enough
to let you know that the sing will be good
Did you see him up at the Liberty Statue
on Monday? He had the crowd with him
in a minute. singing anything from "old
Black Joe" to when You Come Back
There's to be a short address by
member of the Sons of the ReVoiuuoh'
who are to be the hosts of the evening
and two soloists will sing. or course there
will be refreshments--who ever heard oi
a party for enlisted men that didn't nave
refreshments, and lots Of them? Mr.. Al
bert Cook Myers is chairman of the eN'
ecutiye committee of the Historical Society
and Mr.. Ernest Spofford is secretary
hid you know that Frank Paul returned
- from overseas last Tuesday? He's been
detailed as an instructor here. He Is
lieutenant in machinegun company, you

John Kent Kane, out in Radnor, at present
on a leave of a few days. ! suppose the
men still in camp will be trained for
while longer that is until peace Is aoso-
lutely settled. Though how in the world
Germany could ever get on her feet again
after all she~has signed away would De
puzzle to any one. We certainly have got
them where" they belong.
WOULDN'T you just love TO be in Paris
W.the day the armies come marching
home? And they say that King Albert
will probably enter Brussels tomorrow.
Think of it! I'm afraid many Will die OF
sheer joy
I wonder how soon her friends here will
be able to hear Of Marie du Croy? She
never visited in this country herself, but
her brother, Prince Leopold du Croy, and
her uncle, Prince Henri du Croy, often
stayed in this city as guests of Mr.. waiter
George Smith. The Princess Marie was
taken a prisoner early in the war; IN fact'
at the same time IS Edith Cavell and was
condemned to life imprisonment ana 10 De
kept under constant surveillance, 100.
That meant that never at any moment was
she free from the watchful eye or Ger
man soldier. Think Of that for dehcatey
reared and daintily exquisite woman ana
I heard she had contracted tuberculosis
there And that is only a sample or What
the Belgian and French women had, to go
through. 7 suppose q number of our
women who have been over there doing
war work will come home now and make
room for others to go over and help. For
there will be much to o.. Probably many
will stay, too.
yITON'T it be funny for the school set to
w wend it's way Belevuewards tomorrow
p;cht for Mrs. Charles Stewart Wurts's
dancing class? For years it has been at
Asher's, you know, though | think at one
time IL met at Horticultural Hail. whittier
so many of tie dancing classes moved from
the Natatorium. But Horticultural HAL Is
no more. you know: the new Shubert The
atre Is there and so back to Ashers went
the classes, until Asher's was taken over
hv the United Service Club, and now all
ways point to the Bellevue.
Mrs. Wurts's class has been the rage
for the girls from fourteen up to sixteen
for many a day: and the boys or hlteen
IN eishteen go, too. It's killing to watch
the Youngsters at that age. don't YOU
tbinl,p They are so grown up and so
worried about their partners and cotillon
engagements. They are so delightfully."-
Young, it seems, but they do nave sue"
good times, and Mrs. Wurts is an a"fully
rood chaperone to the affair and sees that
every one is introduced to every one else.
There will be several dinners before the
meeting tomorrow, among others one lor
"Bunny" Geary, who seems a most popu-
lar young person.
xITELL, with the war over, wonder II
w we'll hear soon of an engagement that
the small bird whispered to me some time
ago? It was to come out after the war
"a !. uas between an American girl and
an English officer, and the girl has been
doing a lot of splendidly efficient war work.
She Is very good-looking and has hosts
az friends. c:everal years ago she hao
most miraculous escape from death. Thats
o,nost telling. you, isn't it? But then L
,,ror,ised not to, so I won't; but watch the
,,,s ,,,,, dears. watch the news these days.
