1910, and that with September will
comcthc homeward rush and by the end
of the month the teas will be starting,
and then by October there'l be one al
most every afternoon, and two or three
in an afternoon on some occasions and
altogether We'll be so gay we won't

L if the plans have not been changed.

THOSE few dates ought to hotd Us for
L while, don't you think? And that's
not the half of it, It's. going on, and
on. all through October, November anu,
most of December. Some one suggested
TO me the other day that it might. De
an idea to hire the ball park one Dr. two
afternoons, or som such large space INT
have various sections marked off for each
deb. and then hold the teas on one, TWO
or three days. as many as the numper
of deb,its might nccessitatc and then IL
would all be over in less than a week. "
Not bad. that, is it? But where on
eortb would we be able to find an audi
torip,,f large enough to introduce all the
debs of the year 10191f920 in Philadel-
mia in one, two, three. or even four
davs ali going at once? AS 1 said before,
