"A xesterdavp From the minute 1 entered
the grand stand opposite Independence aan
until the last wreath was placed at the ioc.
NJ the liberty Bell it seemed to me as IL IL
had been lust one wild succession OF cheers,
though the cheers at the emf were. stoppeu
when the eight white horses came Slowly
along with their empty saddles. 49,
There was the dearest old iady on tue
front pavement of Independence Han, VINO
waved and cheered and cried all throush '"'
parade. -,I raa;o
I never saw so many people. EDDIE
Cassott was on the stand in "cits. ne
had light gray derby hat and pale pastel
green tie. / have noticed how many OF tne
men who have finally gotten thelr uniforms %
off since they were mustered out nave 'aken
to bright colors. ,...
Reauyeau Borie. Jr.,. and his daughter
Patty. were also on the stand ana tne 'ohn
Newbolds and their daughter, virginia :, Nir'
and Mrs. Mason Iiisle and Frances sullivan
and tho Percy Keatings and the William
Taylors. Major Taylor was walking WIN
base hospital No 10, you know, and l saw
Arthur Newlin looking up into the stand
and bow and Harry billiard and severai
others of the doctors were to be recogn,heu; u;
Colonel Hart was in an auto at the head
of No. 10.
could not get why the Stotesburys were
on the steps of Independence Hail on chairs,
and Jimmie Cromwell with them. TOO, put
later when the Mayor arrived and went up
apd smoke to them they Joined him ana
Mrs. Smith and walked to the grand STAND,
taking their seats several rows back OF the
Governor. .,,,y,.,, :, 2:
Mamie Lewis Beale and her two children
were on the Grand stand and one OF the ht1
tle ones could not understand that the parade
was really coming and kept saying, Mhy
don't they make noise ~. But when ~tney
really did come he seemed 70 pc satisnea y ' Wi'h
the cheers. asA.s Y /,
It was certainly thrilling beyond words,
and when the wounded raihe it. was just
more than human nature could stand and 4
confess it, I cried, and when the infantry
went by and remembered their going on
In New York last May and how many, or
the 10th, for instance, had not come PACK
an,fe Che. Tooth, too! Well, they did .glori,
orsiy and we're so proud Of them we don
know wharto do, but, in our lifetime at least
let there be no more wars. 1, . -. =,
WELL, AFTER all the excitement ofyyesteri
w day there's some of another, kind to
come for lot of girls who are going up 20
Princeton for the, prom this week end. A
bunch of them are going UP together. Mary
Page, Helen Hope Wilson, Frances Wister,
Lucy Grey, Heyltje Stewart and Mary
Tyler, and Mrs. Grey, Lucy's mother, Is
going to chaperone them. Then Edith
Hutchinson I, and Mary Norris, Rebecca
Thomson iand Peggy Thayer are all going,

and Peggy will come out next year. Mapel
Reid is another one in the party, also a, dep.
These summer parties will sort of prepare
them for the entertainments to come, and,
really. these girls need to have that shock
Inv bod little entertaining
: in the last few years that it will be hor-
rible blow to them next year to discover that
there q re- such things as teas and dances nnd
dinners and luncheons. It's going to be q
wonderful season and they deserve 1T, pc
sfcause they certainly have worked during
These last two years.N, = - 'l:
Y PASSED Miss Rebecca Nee&hall on Chest
! nut street the other day and she had an
awfully pretty dress on. 1t was dark blue
with a pleated skirt and the waist was long
and embroidered in silk. Then she wore q
rather broad brimmed hat of dark blue with
brilliant flowers - red, yellow, white-al
sover the crown. ..!,~ r.
.tT HEARD the Twenty eighth, or rather a
1 member of it, get off ''hot one" on Ger
rs1nantown yesterday. He hadn't been parad
ing. He had been discharged, but he was
still in uniform and the red keystone was
very noticeable. You can imagine how he
felt. He'd been overseas fighting Germans
and his goal for about two years had beer
Germany. He had helped capture more thar
one German gun and all morning he hat
been standing on a street corner cheering
men who had also fought and conquered
Germans.
And in the afternoon he stopped at Thir
teenth and Chestnut to light cigarette ant
somebody thought he looked like Philadel'
phian and went up to him, he being the only
stationary thing on the street, and said, III
this where you get the car for German
town. And he almost dropped his precious
cigarettepas he exclaimed, my gosh! L
there such a place as that in this country!
