SOCIETY

There undoubtedly will be a
great many dinner parties this
evening among army circles for
men Of the First Division and in
- homage to Gen Pershing. Already
space has been spoken for at hotels
and other popular places and it is
predicted that there will be a hot
time in the old town tonight"
Washington has received other con-
querinx heroes and many hostesses
still have in their possession spoons
and dishes used upon such occa-
sions These once again will be
used this evening and then return
ed to their places Of state among
the family heirlooms, We hope for
the last time for such a use.
Many new souvenirs will be laid
aside tonight to go down to great
grandchildren in memory of the
time Cen. Pershing and those vail
ant heroes of the First Division
marched victoriously down the his
toric pathway from Peace Monu-
nent to the White House, for mis-
tory is being made today.
