10nuOn, June f.--L lmoSl StiHPASiNS marked the dinner given in honor of King George and Queen Mary by Ambassador John W. Davis and Mrs. Davis at the American embassy tonight. There was but a small number of guests and only informal speeches were made. The king and Queen we're accompanied by Prln- cess Mary and Princess Victoria and their attendants.
 Hugh C. Wallace American amoas- sador at Paris, and Mrs. Wallace came from Paris to be present at the fune' tion
 After the speechmaking the younge. guests danced to American southern tunes, Princess Mary and Miss Beeeher' niece of Ambassador Wallace, being the most popular partners,
 Queen Mary wore a pearl gray gown and d diamond necklace. Mrs Davls gown was of rose brocaded in silver, Wlth tulle trimmings.
 The function was concluded at mid night with the playing of God Save the ] ing"
 unprecedented problem for the con vention, involving adherence to or freedom from instructions of all pri-
 mary chosen delegates for all can didates. A spirited and protracted
 fight in the midst of the very first
 ballot on candidates was expected.
 Judge McCamant has given notice that
 he will not vote for Senator Johnson,
 although the Californian won the pri-
 mary but will vote for General Wood
 because. Judge McCamant contends, his own election did dot bind him to Senator Johnson. The Oregon delegate contends that as he was recognized Wood supporter, giving such notice be- fore the primary, the state preference for Johnson is not obligatory upon , him. The others, however, are to cast their ballots for Johnson. Everything seems to be set for the opening of the convention tomorrow. The chaplain for the opening day, the Rev. Gardner McWhorter. tried out his voice. Workmen about noon were startled to hear the words of prayer coming from the electric amplifyinS | instruments which hang about the big | hall Reverently laying down their tools | for five minutes, they heard the clergy
 man practice his prayer. Speaking in so large a place as the Coliseum was new to him, Dr. McWhorter explained
 and he wanted to find how loud he
 would have to pray so everyone could hear.
 ] The Wood forces today made a de- l termined effort to swing the New 1orR delegation to the support of their can didate on the first ballot. General | Wood was entitled to New York sup port, they argued, on account of his
 efforts in establishing the military 1 training camps at Piattsburg. As result of the assault made on the New York delegation, the Butler leaders began defensive operations. James R. | Sheffield William Barnes and Sena- | tor Wadsworth were called into con | ferente and workers attached to the | republican state organization later be-
 gan a canvass of the delegates in an , effort to line them up solidly for But
 Ter on the first ballot. It was admitted {, by Butler adherents that the fight to present an unbroken front of the
 eighty eight delegates had failed but ] they said they were assured that not
 more than six or eight New YorA l votes would, go to Wood.

A N AUTHORITY on dress has
~ said that if woman's feet be
u well shod she has solved half
the problem of being we'll dressed.
This saying came to mind when /
visited, the other day, the second
floor shop of Del Mar & Company
at 1911 Chestnut Street, where you
will find appropriate shoes for wear
with every costume. There are
neat brown walking oxfords for
wear with your jersey or tweed
suit; white canvas oxfords to wear
with your suit of linen and your
morning frocks; pumps of white
canvas or kid, which will be just
right for wear with summer organ
dies and voiles; one-eyelet ties which
can be worn with light summer
dresses at any time of the day, and
black satin pumps for wear with
your dark Georgette or satin dresses.
TOR those who love the tint Of
II ripe apricot, the red of the
- pomegranate and the rich blue
which we find nowhere but in the
Chinese rugs, I have particularly
good news today-for Fritz 6 La
Rue, of 1915 Chestnut Street, are
selling a large collection Of these
rugs in ali sizes at very interesting
prices. Their window is really a
thing of beauty this week, and any
one to whom color makes a definite
appeal-and that is nearly all OF
us-should not miss seeing it. There
is one large rug with a ground OF
blue and a border of deeper blue,
and rug somewhat smaller with a
ground of imperial yellow and lotus
flower motifs IN ivory, blue and
red. Another rug has background
of pale apricot. But really, you
must see them for yourself.
DY DINT Of careful observation
n I've discovered what people
- carry in those smart-looking
Boston bags. While walking along
Chestnut Street the other day !
saw two knitting needles and bit
of bright-colored wool peeping from
one end of black leather bag.
Next / came upon, tan bag. This
time it held samples of silk and an
order book. The salesman who car
ried it looked as if he were quite well
pleased with Boston bags and the
world in general. One lady Of my
acquaintance assures me that she
uses her Boston bag whenever she
comes to town on shopping expe-
dition, and she says that she finds 1t
useful as an overnight bag. Geo. b.
Bains & Son, Inc, 1923 Chestnut
Street, are showing some very fine
bags of this sort.
VXTHAT woman can resist in
w cluding a dark blue taffeta
W frock in her summer ward
robe? Not one, I am sure, II she
sees those dainty little dresses at
the Blum Store, 1910 Chestnut
Street-and they are 30 reasonably
priced. One inexpensive frock was
trimmed with plaitings Of taffeta.
Another was very cool looking, with
it's fichu of white organdie. EN-
broidered crepe Georgette was eff
fectively combined with taffeta in
a model with bouffant tunic and an
effective touch on an eton jacket
model was the heavy cording on the
Jacket. This model had an ac-
Gordon plated skirt. A straight
line model, which would be most
becoming to the lady who is "pleas-
ingly plump" was piped with leather

should be, in your own kitchen,
without the trouble Of turning

This is really possible with the
Auto Vacuum Freezer which saw
at the store of J. Franklin Miller,

really a refrigerating plant on a

compartments-one for the cream,
the other for ice and salt. The mix
ture TO be frozen is placed in the
cream compartment, ice and salt in
the ice compartment, and in thirty

that state for eight hours or longer.
This freezer is ideal for use on mo-
