Society

l One of the largest birthday par- . ties of this season was the one given in honor of Master Dan Minnick who was eight years old last Fri day. A delightful picnic supper was served over in the Glen and everyone had the best time ever. The guests included Martha and. . Richard Plummer, Marguerite El - llott, Helen and -Robert Pitman, Florence Barton, Arthur Gault, Wes ley Scull. Lion McFail, Naomi and George Caldwell, Ray and Inez Bish, . Adrian Minnick and Mesdames . Barton, Pitman and Caldwell. " Miss Benita Monarch has returned home for the winter after an extended stay in Muncie. Miss Lou- ' ise Monarch is visiting friends and relatives in Kentucky. Miss Viola Jay, who has been ' Tisiting relatives on North Elev- ; enth street, will return to her home In Rushvllle tomorrow. . Miss Gladys Longnecker has re- . turned from a short visit in Con Tnersville. ; Miss Mary Margaret and Master Joseph Laughlm, . who have been : spending the week with cousins s east of Fountain City, have returned home. ; " " CAMP FIRE GIRLS , All the Camp Fire Girls in Way- . ne county should be getting their . cerimonial costumes and honor . beadu tn good shape for the big Grand Council Meeting over in Cen- , terville September 30. Many of the Richmond girls are trying to finish J tip their required honors for Fire , Maker, so that they can, win that degree this month; and so many have shown their enthusiasm over "the Invitation from Centerville, that there probably will be enough from Richmond to fill a special car. The Wahpikameki Camp had . a camp breakfast Tuesday morning, as a farewell gathering for their former Guardian, Miss Elizabeth Morris, who will spend the winter In Wellesley. The breakfast was cookt& near the ground of the famous fight with Tecumseh north east of the city. About eighteen . -were in the party, and it was a ".most successful affair. - We wonder if everyone knows the slogan of the Camp Fire Girls. If you are one who does not, we nvo tn nv for vour benefit that it is "We Want a Swimming Pool." . we should rather not wait twenty years for it so it seems to us that about the best and quickest way to get it is to have one in the Martha Washington Hotel, r We suppose some of you men think it is unnecessary, but please remember that we have no Y. W. C. A. to take the place of your Y. M. C. A. The only place we have to swim Is at Hawkins, and some of us who really want to become efficient In that sport do not care to go there to learn, so our only other alternative is not to learn. Don't you think you men might help us get this pool? Think it ov- ' WAN KANT A of Wahpikameki. Little Children ; Build Tunnels Over at the Children's Tent at the Chautauqua, tunnels are the main delight this last week. The whole big sand pile was made into one great tunnel, and anywhere you would put your hand in you would find an open space. Then all around the outside, the sand that had been taken out was made in huge forts. , Each morning in the general exercises the children ask William Page to sing "Good Morning, Merry Sunshine," because no one else knows it, and they nearly always ask to play "We will wash the dolly's clothes," too, so that they can "wring the dishrag." . TENNIS CHAMPION. Julius Falk has proved himself the champion of Junior tennis players by winning the finals over Thomas Schumaker.

How the Palladium Boys Enjoy Chautauqua Outing

This last week the Palladium Boys have been enjoying the many privileges granted to them. Since last Saturday the water at Hawkins Pond has been' slightly cold, and the air colder, but that doesn't hinder them from having a good time. It doesn't hurt if the water is freezing; you can't keep a healthy American ' boy out of it. Last Thursday Mr. Schwan, the new director at the Y. M. C. A., went with the boys to the beach and showed them a series of new and fancy dives. Although the boys were interested in learning the dives, they were more than fascinated by watching the graceful way they were shown. Mr. Schwan has promised to show them many more dives and teach them to swim with less exertion and more speed. While showing his season ticket last Tuesday, Wynn Evans dropped a dime and it rolled through a knot hole in the floor. . Wynn almost caused a calamity by trying to take up the floor. But, then, ten dimes make a dollar, and Wynn is ambitious to be a millionaire. 'Mr. Brammer has loaned our Starr phonograph to a certain tribe of ladies that live at 54 Olive street. He says he likes to have the phonograph with him most of the time. Tuesday morning the Chautauqua campers were given a beautiful vocal selection entitled "And They Call it Dixie Land" or something like that, by the kind hearted Ling Sing quartet which lives on the hill. The last two nights, which have been 'quite cold, exclamations conBoy City News Mayor Harris announces that as soon as Chautauqua Is over the boys will begin working on the pageant for the Fall Festival. . The regular council meeting will be held Thursday night at the city hall, this being the first Thursday in the month. Several interesting topics will be discussed, among which are the question of an election, the most suitable place for playgrounds, helping the city officials keep the streets clean, and recommending a cement tank for wading and swimming in the playgrounds. Mayor Harris also probably will bring up the question of gaining finances for the empty treasury. One means that he had thought of was to have a small pole tax of not more than five cents on all the prospective boy voters. Day Nursery Children Get Fine Outing Last Thursday all the children of the Day Nursery had an outing. Mrs. Hornaday of South 15th street took them all out to the Chautauqua and Patsy treated them at his refreshment tent. They were gone from one o'clock to four-thirty in the afternoon, and had a time they won't forget soon. This is. their version as they told all about it: "That lady came after us in a great big automobile and we all got in. There was me my name's Orville Slifer, and Melville Slifer, and Leo Devilles (say kid, how do you spell your last name? Tell this lady), and Elizabeth went, Elizabeth Moon and Eleanor Sprigg, and Viola Devilles, and Mary Moon say was Mary there?" "Yes, Mary went." "Well, Mary Moon and Lucile Mooreman, ana" Ruth and Robert, too. And, Oh yes, Jeannette Jones and Lloyd Slifer." "When we got there, the lady stopped the machine and we got out." "Yes, and they let us in free, too," put in a little girl from over in a corner. "And then we went down to that man named Patsy. And say, I think he's a good fellow. He said it was his birthday. First he gave us an Ice cream cone, and then a stick of candy, and then a sack of popcorn. And then we went and got a drink, and then we went up to the big ! tent where they have a piano and j a sandpile, and we built forts and j played on the piano until they took us home."

cerning the fact could be heard all over the grounds. But in the Pal

ladium tent-a fellow has to keep a 42 centimeter gun and other weap ons of offensive, to keep his cov ers ; for wherever a boy can borrow another boy'a cover without the other knowing it, somebody freezes. Just to give you an idea what a large amount of food must be cooked in order to accommodate the carriers' hunger, a certain boy washed kitchen utensils from 12:30 until 3:00, and then didn't get them done. The boys from Cambridge City, Greensfork, Mt. Auburn and Lynn have been visiting our camp for four days and seemed to enjoy it. Last Sunday night when it rained, things got pretty damp. Adams, of Mt. Auburn, who was lying right under a slit in the tent, was getting full benefit of the rain, and funniest of all, he had his arms going, just as though he were swimming. Although it rains, and we have to go on kitchen duty and work, we certainly enjoy this life. CLAUDE G. MILLER. Boy Scout News By FRANK CROWE The Tiger Patrol was the second patrol organized in Troop 2, the Flying Eagle being the first. The Tiger Patrol under the leadership of Frank Crowe, patrol leader, and Ray Williams, assistant leader, is giving the Flying Eagle a race worth .seeing. The Tigers are handicapped because of the change in patrol leaders recently, while the Flying Eagles have been working under one. The Tigers have challenged the Flying Eagles in a race for merits. The Tigers have Herbert McMahan for troop bugler and will give their rivals a race along that line. The Tiger tent at Chautauqua is a queer scene at times. The tent is occupied by William Eggemeyer, Floyd Nusbaum, Frank Crowe and Ray Williams. The boys have a Victrola and ,have music at all times. Tapps are blown at tenthirty, but it doesn't mean sleep. Eggemeyer and Nushaum make all the noise from ten to twelve and then Crowe and Williams start In. The boys stage boxing matches daily. The last good match was between Crowe and Townsend. The scouts are endeavoring to show the citizens of Richmond what scouting is. Crowe Intends to make the patrol the best in the county with the aid of Williams. Williams has shown that he can manage the patrol under all difficulties. The patrol consists of Frank Crowe, patrol leader, Ray Williams, assistant patrol' leader, William Eggemeyer, Floyd Nusbaum, Gordon Gaylor, Richard Holcomb, Herbert McMahan and Richard Mansfield. Visitors are always welcome at the camp. New Boy Scouts Tho third trooD of Richmond Boy Scouts has now been started, and held their first meeting for organization Friday morning in Garfield school. With Kirk McKinney for Scout Master, and Mr. Lyboult for assistant scout master, this troop surely will do good work. Not only the boy, but their fathers also are enthusiastic about the work. When Mr. Lemon was asked to allow John to join, he said if John didn't wanl to, he'd make him, and furthermore when John took an inventory of his bank account and found it totaled the sum of three cents, his father promptly offered to finance the project. Although the troop tins onlv been started since Thurs day there are the following mem bers even now: Dale Harkms, Julius Falk, John Lemon, Thomas Schumaker, Marston Hodgin, William Le Hunt and Richard Thornburgh. The city has been full of Scouts since Friday night when the troops from Hagerstown, College Corner and West Alexander came over and are camping on Roosevelt field. Some of the boys were used to help out In the exhibition this afternoon given at the Chautauqua by our local troop, and it surely was interesting to see all the scouts together.

Mary and

By Lula Mae Athlngr CHAPTER III Six weeks later: Mrs. Mario was very ill that dav but that waa no thing new, for she had not been. ieeiing wen ror the last few weeks. And it was about three weeks later when her body was laid away beside her dear husband. - She had left a letter to Mary, but It could not be opened until one year after her death; and she also left a letter to Margaret Mary wanted to open it now, but Margaret told her "No." They had told their mother they would keep the large house as long as they could do so. One week had hardly passed, and I tell you it was all they could do to keep that large house, for the maid bad taken two weeks off. It would not be long until the maid would come back. At last the time came when the maid should come home. They even had the chauffeur go to meet her at the station. The next day they met the boy who was fifteen years old now. Of course they talked and they also had luncheon out in the garden.Margaret had loved him ever since she met him. but Marv had ' not thought anything about it. After they had had lunch they went out In the front yard. "Isn't this a fine day?" "Why, yes. it is a fine day. I will tell you what we will do, we will take a spin to the city and go to the theatre." replied Margaret. "All right." . "I will drive the car." So they got their things ready and started off. They had a joyous ride. At last they arrived at the theatre. The show was just fine, and it lasted so late that they just went to a cabaret to dine. And after they had finished they got in the car and rode home. "Goodbye," called Richard as he entered his home. Then the girls drove on home. "I tell you we can not take care of this large house. We might just as well break up; that is the only thing I know to do," said Mary. "Well, I do not care what you do, but if you sell the furniture I want my bedroom set and the parlor furniture." "I think that is what I will do then.' The next day Mary said, "I am going to New York City for a few weeks. Oh, I forgot all about those letters. Let us open them now." "All right." Mary's letter read thus: Dear Daughter: Inclosed you will find $1,000. From your loving Father and Mother. Margaret's letter read thus: Dearest Daughter: Inclosed you will find $1,000 and also a written consent to the privilege of occupying a house in the heart of New York City. From your loving Father and Mother "I must go to New York at once," said Margaret. "But where will you go?" asked Mary. "Read the letter." And when Mary found out what was in it she was certainly mad. "Where will I go," she said. "You may go where ever you please."

Her Sister

Ts that the way you treat your sister?" "I have reason to." " All right, you may go where you please and I will go where I please," said Mary, and she told the maid to pack her trunk and send It to a certain address. Then she told Margaret to come and see her. So she hurried out of the house and got on her horse and went down the road. After Mary had arrived In New York City she went to the rooms she had rented. She got ready and went to the theatre and got a job. "You may come tomorrow to prac tice at nine-thirty," the manager said. The next day she went and practiced, and the manager thought it was Just grand. "We will have a grand opening tomorrow night." "All right I will be right here. Goodbye," she called back. Margaret was at her new home now and was going to that grand opening but she did not know her sister would be in it. At that moment the bell rang and the maid announced "Richard Regard." They soon arrived at the opera for it was just a little way. There they saw the program and on it was "Mary Mario." "O, it could not be sister, but we shall see." She did find out, and after the show they went back of the stage and found Mary. She told her sister that she had had a successful night, and also that she did not want her to continue. "I will keep it up for a while anyhow," said Mary. "All right, then." (To be Continued Roily Coaster Creates Fun Several years ago the boys of a certain neighborhood in Richmond built a regular little railroad in one of the back yards. The rails were square wooden poles, which are used in making lumber piles, and the car had regular iron wheels. It was quite a difficult task to build both the car and the road perfectly accurate, especially on the slope which came down from the top of the back fence where the rollycoasler started, but at last they got it right, and when they had the car all fixed up with three little seats so that six children could ride at once, it was as popular as it could be. The boys even built a little station and sold printed tickets "Six Rides for a Nickle." Patrons came from far and near, especially in the evening, and sometimes there would be as many as twenty waiting their turns to ride. The only disadvantage of that roily coaster was that when the little car had too big a push, it very often went so fast that it jumped the track, scattering the joy-riders over the lawn. But that served to make the trip more" exciting, and they always would get another ride to make up. 3
