JUMRI.ED NAMES OF GIRLS IN
FIGURES.
SUSY'S BAND.

The audience followed Polly with
cnvlous eyes as she went behind the
sheet a few minutes later she re-
appeared dressed in swallowtal
coat over her short bingham dress.
a high sill: hat pcrched on her
ourls and carrying riding whip in
her hand All OF the above men
tioncd articles had been "barrowe ed"
from her father. although that gem
tlcmau was not aware OF the fact
1'oiiy made n deep bow and began:
"Ladits an Gcn'mcn, today you will
hear Susy's Band played without
Susy. That will be the chief thing.
but we viii have some other things.
Thanks" ana Polly withdrew behind
the sheet which seemed to fairly
CULVER with authorization.
Tommy ana Jack now appeared.
Both wore hair ribbons Of many hues
wound about their waists and n halo
% chicken feathers also borrowed"
almost covered their hair from view
This was all the dressing up" the
boys would consent to. but Polly was
FULLY satisfied with 1t. Tommy car
ried little drum and Jack comb
covered with thin paper. They sat
down in front of the sheet and pro-
oceded to raise the roof. After a
heart rcndlng performance OF ''Yan-
kee Doodle" they rose. bowed and
retreated behind the curtain.
Now Polly drew II ring with chalk
on the loor ana put her little dog,
spot" through all Of his tricks. At
tho conclusion Of this Tommy and
lack agai appeared and played earn
estly and with energy Home, Sweet
Home" Polly was absent during
this. but when the boys finished she
| came from behind the shoot. She
had discarded her ringmnster's cos.
tune and now wore u fancy shawl
pinned over her dress. AS Polly had
never danced before. her execution
OF ii was remarkably original. r.,ss.
At the END of ii Polly bowed, told
the guess that the show was over.
and asked them To move out by the
music the boys would play and sing
1t was all over and the club meni-
| hers sat In the clubhouse and talked
it over. Then they took the sheet
down. divided the money. gathered
UP the costumes" and left for their
respective homes. ~ :.
When the three children found
they were TO go to the circus any
way they were thunder struck, but
Polly chcrfully said. We'll, we can

Note.-S0mc OF my readers may
nave already guessed what Polly
really meant by "Susy's Band" but
for those who have not I will give

49, Premier ,BriaNd's speech yesterday
is today being read in Germany, in
full exposition Of. the French fears
and doubts and suspicious regarding
the good faith and, the future policy
Of that country. Good should come
from such a disclosure. II there IL any
German public sentiment worth con-
sidering, it should be aroused by the
French leaders frank declarations to
demand from the government at Ber-
lin that q full assurance be given the
world that Germany has no thought
or purpose Of war.
The best results from the present
conference will come from the quality
OF resonance to which M. BRAND re-
ferred. These speeches delivered at
the plenary sessions have taken the
key Of that Of the American Secretary
Of State, who at the opening struck
the note Of frankness, specific pro-
posal and good faith. And in that vibra-
ton these words are now going forth
to all the world, and great service is
being rendered to humanity even
though the outcome Of the conference
may not be all that 10 now hoped from
it.
