A farewell party in honor of Miss
Mary R. Hermann, superintendent of
the local city hospital for the past
seven years, who recently resigned in
view of her coming marriage TO

in the nurses home here last night.
Between seventy-hve and 100 guests,
including members of the Board of
Governors of the Perth Amboy City
Hospital Association, the Hospital
Auxiliary, physicians and nurses
gathered for the affair which was
strictly informal.
The interior of the home had been
decorated with autumn leaves, corn
stalks, pumpkins, yellow, black and
red crepe paper and everything that
goes to add to the typical Halloween
effect. The affair was not a HalldW-
cen party, but the home was deco
rated for an affair the nurses are to
hold tonight.
Sidney Riddlestorffer, President of
the Board of Governors of the Hospi-
tai Association, was the charge d af-
fairs for the night. DR.. John l..
Lund sang several solos accompanied
on the piano by Miss auline Strick-
Ter. DIR. William e. Ramsay enter
tanned with what seemed to be endless
supply of humorous stories after
Hhich Rev. Wilbert Westcott, pastor
of the Simpson NJ. E. church, gave n
hort talk in which he expressed the
sentiments of all present in wishing
Miss Hermann every joy possible in
her married life.
DR.. John G.. Wilson, the dean of the
local hospital, was called upon to say
a few words, he speaking highly OF
| the efficiency and character of Miss
Hermann. Several vocal and in

her for the services rendered by her
during the seven years she was in
charge of the local hospital.
Refreshments consisting Of punch,
coffee, ice cream, crullers and cakes
were served by the nurses at the close
| Of the program and dancing was en-
ioyed, music beieng furnished by a
victrola.
Mrs. Nellie r. Burby, the new u
perintendent, was present and intro
duced to those of the guests whom
she had before become acquainted
With. Many of the members of the
physicians staff of the hospital were
present at the event, which was one
of the most impressive and successful
affairs of its kind ever held in this
| city.
AS Mr.. Riddlestorffer closed his
remarks, which were well selected, he
presented Miss Hermann with a
| Jewel case containing ten dollar gold
| pieces, this gift being from individ-
ual members of the Board of Govern
ors. Anther gift of $3.50 to Miss
Hermann from the institution also
Prior to last nights affair the doctors
of the hospital had presented the re-
firing superintendent with a silver
set. Miss Hermann was taken by
surprise when presented with the
gifts by Mr.. Riddlestorffer and &C
knowledged her joy in a few words.

of detail.
Harry and Louise were both young
and unusually romantic. There were
splendid possibilities In each, but
so far each was untried. Harry had
never had to think Of anyone but
himself; no none had shown him
much affection as a lad, So he had
felt drawn to no one particularly,
and brooded much over himself. The
loveless child is always interpretive.
His struggle through college had
indeed been lonely n full of lit
tie inconvenience, but he always
made enough for his needs and the
experience had not thrust upon him
any sense of responsibility. The ar
my had been a glorious adventure,
in spite of the many h~ardships. In
fact, his sense OF responsibility
rather grew when he was in service;
essentials of life-food, clothes, even
amusements-were supplied him; he
had nothing to do but obey orders
along with other soldiers. The spi-
rit of the sophomore bent on a lark,
possessed him-as it did some mill
lions of other young men in khaki.
1t was not until he met Louise
that the sense of his manhood and of
responsibility came to him, and the
feeling was pleasant. There was
something about this slim, pretty
SRI tIdl affected MIN as ndu noun
ing else in his life. Harry had rath-
er avoided the attractive and popu-
lar girls; they always seemed to
him so selfSuflicient, so absolutely
able to get along without his friend
ship-to dispense with even his us
ual attentions. But Louise was diff
ferent. There was a usefulness bur
led deep in her eyes and a tenderness
hidden at the corners of her mouth
which went to hisheart, though he
could not have explained how it
happened. lie simply knew that he
wanted to work and work hard, to
build a solid foundation under him
self and then
And then he knew why this was:
he had seen much of Louise in the
brief time since their meeting when
he made his first stumbling efforts
to tell her Of his love; he discov-
cred that she too wanted a Home, a
place OF her own, as ardently as he
did; and on that basis he had first
asked her to marry him. But roman
tic as they were, they knew that

Butler was willing to give his ser

Elizabeth appreciated that all signs

she-just how hard up Douglas was.
