EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER- PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JUNE RECEIVE DR. IN BAPTIST MINISTRY Formal of Former Protestant Episcopal Clergyman on Monday wiThe. Rev. renounced George the Chalmers Protestant Richmond, Episcopal ministry and who, two weeks ago, was baptized in the Baptist faith, will be recognized or received in Baptist ministry next Monday afternoon in Church, West Fifty -seventh street, New York city. fore Baptist Ministers' Council of "the recognition take place beNew York, and at that time Mr.

Richmond will give his reasons for leaving the Episcopal Church and entering the Baptist ministry. Last Sunday, Doctor Richmond was given the right hand of fellowship by the Rev. John Roach Stratton. At that time, addressing Mr. Richmond, Doctor Stratton said: "We welcome you today into the Christian fellowship of Calvary Church.

You occupy a peculiar position. We have heard of your wonderful work in Philadelphia, and how you have stood out as a prophet against all unrighteousness. You have suffered for righteousness sake and we welcome you now to a fellowship where you will have a larger liberty than in the past. We welcome you as one of the world's prophets." Mr. Richmond was formerly rector of St.

John's Episcopal Church in this city. For several years he was engaged in a controversy with Bishop Rhinelander, as a result of which he was suspended from the priesthood for two years because of his attack on the bishop. Afterward the triers to remit the 'seatence and requested Bishop Rhinelander to appoint Mr. Richmond as chaplain in the United States army, or to give him a parish in the diocese, which the bishop declined to do. Mr.

Richmond was then invited to take 8 parish in the diocese, but declined and renounced the Protestant Episcopal ministry December 24, 1919. DAME FASHION HINTS THAT-IT CAN'T BE TRUE, Rumor From Cleveland Intimates Long Skirts and Straight Say Modistes 'A shocking rumor from Cleveland and nobody in town willing to confirm it. Leading authorities were consulted without revealing a substantiating clue. Only one answer comes decidedly from those in a position know. "Ask Paris." "But." we insisted "Cleveland says so positively." "Cleveland?" the eyebrows were elevated to indicate scorn.

"New York is the center of information--news direct from Paris, the only reliable source." Will Congress start an investigation on this leak? Well, hardly The rumor has nothing to do with peace or the league of nations. Listen The national cloak, suit and skirt manufacturers in their national conference in Cleveland prophesied on fall and winter styles for women: Straight fronts and backs and classic lines for the new vogue. Not Greece or Rome, surely! We remember no straight lines there. Probably the ideas were taken from ancient Egypt, where geometry was invented. Skirts are to be long, instep length, and wide enough for comfortable walking; they are now at the ankle, and who knows but that Christmas will see the street sweeping styles being worn.

The rumor says also, that the suits will be much trimmed with tucks, buttons, stitching. High collars up to the ears. American woman never adopts a foolish fashion," stoutly defend the authorities. "But our large foreign population?" we ventured. we are the middle of June and cannot discover what the fall and winter fashions are to be.

Paris is again withholding information which every woman voter has a right to know.

Mr. and Mrs. Hain will spend a month traveling aud will live in Roxborough. Narrow Escape for Bread and Cake A big supply of newly baked bread and cakes were hurriedly removed from the cellar of a bakery. 601 East Thompson street, this morning when a pile of rubbish caught fire.

Abraham Glassberger, the proprietor, said the damage amounted to about $50. 14, 1919 JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE Esther Rhoads Introduced to Society Today at Tea and Garden Party in Bala--Miss Edith Newlin to Be Presented in October THE first debutante tea of the season will be given this afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. J.

Howard Rhoads will introduce their daughter Esther at tea and garden party, at their country home in Bala. The tea will be held in the afternoon and will be followed by Supper and dancing in the evening out, in the garden. Lanterns will be hung about the place, and altogether 1 it will be most attractive. The debutante will wear a dainty frock of white net over satin and will carry a bunch of roses. Mrs.

Rhoads will wear a gown of orchid -colored georgette crepe. A number of the debutantes will receive with Miss Rhoads and Mrs. Rhoads has asked several of her friends to assist at the tea table. The Rhoades have a number of young officers from West Point at a week- end party. Lieutenant James Logan Rhoads, brother of Esther, is a West Pointer, you know.

Elsa Montgomery, of New Haven, is also staying at the Rhoades over the week- end. How wise some of the parents are to rive the teas in June. Do you know that there are eighty -three debutantes scheduled for next year already, to say nothing of those whose parents have not yet decided on the matter. Eighty -three, mind you, and no one is apt to give a tea after December 15 nor much before October 10 in the fall. Why the dates will fall over each other, so far as I can see.

Every one is talking about it and deciding now whether it shall be November 6 or October 3 or December 15. OCTOBER 4 has Lieber been on chosen which by to Mrs. give tea for Edith Newlin. Edith is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Dick Newlin, and they live way, way out in the country at Indian Run Farm, Whiteland, near Downingtown, too far from town to give a tea there. Mrs. Lieber, who was Genera Norris, is a cousin of Mrs. Newlin through the Harrison family relationship (Mrs. Norris and Mrs.

Eisenbrey, the mothers of Mrs. Lieber and Newlin respectively, were Harrisons) and has offered therefore to give the tea for Edith at her home in Bryn Mawr. Alice, the older sister, is at Bryn Mawr, and has never cared much for social doings, so she did not make her debut, but Edith has been going to things social for some time, in the younger set that is, though most of last year the family were in mourning for Jack, who was killed in France. Mr. Newlin is a brother of Delancey Newlin, James Newlin, Dr.

Arthur Newlin and Mrs. George Bispham Page. Mrs. Newlin was Miss Alice Edith Eisenbrey, a sister of Charlie Eisenbrey, Stephen Eisenbrey, Miss Anna and Miss Sarah Eisenbrey and of Howard Eisenbrey who married Augusta Frost. The Eisenbreys used to live in Harrison row on Locust street, and Mrs.

Newlin was married from there. I believe there is a possibility of Sarah Meade. Harrison's being introduced at the same tea, for the girls are cousins and very fond of each other, but Sarah herself is not sure that she wants to come out this year. You see Margaretta, her sister, is only one year younger, and it seems they have always gone to everything together, and SO Sarah may wait, as she is very young yet, and come out with her sister the following year. I understand the family has put the decision up to her, as it were.

WAS right in my surmises yesterday; there is rummage sale on at 809 Chestnut street, and it's going to keep up today and it's for the West Philadelphia Hospital for Women. I didn't see how that store could be left as lonely as all that- -no rummage sale in the week. And somehow the things in the window looked good to me. They always do, for that matter. believe could get me a whole winter outfit for next season there and wear it the teas and doings and have every one excited to death about how good looking it was, don't you? SPEAKING of rummage sales, I heard a good lady the other day, who knows a number of highly respectable reduced people and who has given them things to wear which were contributed to her for that purpose (all confidentially, you know) declare that the rummage sales had about ruined her charity in that respect.

No one sent her any clothes for her poor any more, they all went to the rummage sales. NANCY WYNNE. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES Mrs. Ernest Law Miss Mary Law will leave June 23 to spend the summer at Islesborough with Mr. and Mrs.

Ross, of St. Martins ALUMNI THRONG PRINCETON FOR VICTORY GRADUATION Graybeards and Men of Later Days in Parade--Uniforms of Two Wars Seen in Crowds at "Old Nassau" By a Stab Correspondent Princeton, N. June from near and far are pouring into Princeton today as rapidly and in as great numbers as automobiles and special trains can unload them. Regular railway traffic over the little spur from Princeton Junction doesn't begin to handle the thousands of old students who are hasting back to "Old participate in the Victory ment of their alma mater. Many returning "boys" whose college terms date back to "Jimmy" McCosh are accompanied by alumni sons who saw Spanish War service, and display 110 resentment when the lad who last year doffed his cap and gown to don olive drab hails them with a fraternal slap.

Back to '65 hark the Princeton memories recounted today in the dwellings and boarding houses utilized as class headquarters when Nassau Inn and other hostelries yielded hopelessly in the struggle to accommodate constantly growing army of alumni. More than 4000 patriotic sons of the Princeton "tiger" marched today- -not. perhaps, in military precision, but with sturdy loyalty to country and college'n the alumni parade. Every man in mine carried an American flag, and here and there a marcher wore the uniform in which he had followed that flag overseas. The exercises were arranged so as to combine the celebration of Alumni Day and Flag Day.

Bands galore mingled patriotic and Princetonian melodies dur ing the progress of the long line around University Field. After the parade the several classes were drawn up on the southern side of the enclosure, from which position they marched in a massed formation with flags displayed. Drill Precedes Review A special drill on the field preceded the review. Places, according to classes, were reserved for the paraders to witness the Yale- Princeton baseball game, which to the younger participants in the exercises, was the day's chief feature. Those of the "older boys" for whom baseball games have lost appeal, followed the graybeard tradition of look ing up landmarks of bygone college days.

One noteworthy, disappearance and substitution such alumni regret that was tempered by patriotic pride. Princeton Inn, at the apex of Nassau street. rendezvous of the collegian beyond the memory of living man, has passed. On its site stands, what today is a shapeless mass Indiana limestone, but which, in a brief while will be hewed into the Princeton Battle Monument. This memorial, the joint creation of the nation, the state of New Jersey, and Princetonians, today gives little hint of the high place it is likely to occupy in American sculpture.

The commission, of which Dr. Allan Marquand, '77, is secretary, abandoned various earlier suggestions before adopting the final design. Many sites, held as available, were rejected likewise, as being remote or inappropriate. The monument will consist of a screen designed by Thomas Hastings. On the front and sides are sculptured reliefs by Frederick MacMonnies.

This relief presents figure of General Washington advancing on a wearied steed over ice- clad ground where his small band had been pushed back and almost an'nihilated. Behind him is his miniature army, whose standards only are seen. FIFTY GET A. M. DEGREES Ph.

To the Editor of Evening Public Ledger: Sir--We have been readers of your paper since it started and don't see how we could without it. I now and then write dan article, and some verses. In view of the sadness that has been in the world for some time past, I think we as a people in view of our many blessings should begin to smile. have written a few lines on Smiles, and here they are: ALBERT FITZGERALD.

Philadelphia, June 12. VALUE OF A SMILE The thing that goes the farthest toward Making life worth while. That costs the least, and does the most, Is just a pleasant smile That gladly bubbles from a heart That loves its fellow men, Who drives away the clouds of gloom And coax the sun again. It's full of worth and goodness too, With manly kindness bent. It's worth a million dollars, and it Doesn't cost a cent.

There is no room for sadness When you see a cheery smile. It always has the same good look, It's never out of style. It nerves us on to try again When failures makes 115 blue, The dimples of encouragement Are food for me and you. It pays the interest, for It is merely lent. It's worth a million dollars And it didn't cost a cent.

Peace and the League To the Editor of Evening Public Ledger: Sir-The world wants peace terms settled and signed at the earliest possible moment so that it can forget about the war and get back to normal conditions! Whether Germany and Austria- Hungary will ever be able to comply fully with the peace terms only the future can tell. The terms are severe and should be, for the crimes committed by the enemy were such that only severe terms could be properly commensurate with the offenses charged. Even now Germany is as arrogant as ever. The people had to bear the brunt of the war and they insist that as part of the treaty of peace provision be made for a league of nations. Whether the terms of peace are too severe or not is not now so material as is the fact that the country now demands peace and the chance to on with the rehabilitation of the world! If the United States Senate is expecting to delay and postpone the ratification of the peace treaty in order to defeat the league of nations.

which is part of it, thereby hoping to gain a partisan victory over the President of the United States, it had better adjourn its sessions for awhile and go out among the people and test the sentiment of the fathers and mothers whose sons are now lying dead in France, or, of our boys who have come back home. mutilated, crippled and horribly disfigured for life, or of those who have learned how Germany wages war. and then reconvene their Senate. They will have seen a new light and will have learned that the people want peace, and not politics, while the whole is seeth ing in unrest and uncertainty. The most serious problems in statecraft that ever before demanded the world's attention are now awaiting solutionand our Senate is playing politics.

If the Republican party has any idea of standing a ghost of a chance to win the next presidential campaign, its leaders had better call Senators Lodge. Knox and the infamous "thirty -seven" into conference and show them what the whole world thinks of them. HARRY C. COPE. Bethlehem, June 11.

MISS MYRTLE EVELYN CRAWFORD Daughter of Mrs. Daniel Crawford, of 701 North Sixty- third street, who is a popular member of the younger set in West Philadelphia Republican leaders are understood to have the Legislature ratify the suffrage 'amendment before it adjourns finally June 26. Representatives of the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Association from virtually all sections of the state have been in Harrisburg the last two weeks carrying on a campaign for immediate ratification. National Republican leaders have given the suffragists to understand that they favor ratification, and many of the state leaders who formerly strongly opposed suffrage are said to be taking a more favorable stand on the question of equal suffrage.

The cause of the women was aided materially by Governor Sproul's announcement that he favored immediate ratification. The Governor is said to have used all the influence at his com mand to try and bring state leaders around to his point of view. He is said to have succeeded, and it would not be surprising to the Legislature take action during thee com ing week. Only recently the Assembly passed the Ramsey resolution to submit the question of a suffrage constitutional amendment to referendum of the voters. It passed by the Senate and House by overwhelming majorities.

It would be necessary for the next Legislature in 1021 to again pass the resolution before it could be put to the voters at the November election that year. With the suffrage amendment through Congress, state suffragists now sider the referendum method too slow and want immediate action, the same as was taken on the prohibition amendment. Two suffrage ratification resolutions already have been introduced into George Gray, of Philadelphia, Senate. One was sponsored by Senator, other by Senator Marshall E. Phipps, of Venango.

It is anticipated that another resolution will be drafted and presented by some potential member of the Senate 1 in order to show that the state Republican organization is definitely committed to and is back of the movement for equal franchise. His expression reveals hope, determination and confident foresight. In the foreground of the relief pears to the right a drummerboy shivering with cold. to the left General Hugh Mercer falling lifeless, supported by a stalwart man of middle age, beyond whom an older man braces himself for a final resistance to the foe. In the center is a fallen hero, scantily clad, and near him a falling soldier, from whose dying grasp has been snatched the tattered stars and stripes by a figure of liberty, who typifies the guiding inspiration of the battle, which changed the fortunes of war.

Coats of Arms Cannon and other trophies are below the group, a large inscription, "Liberty or Death," and a smaller inscription. "Princeton, January The narrow sides of the screen will be carved with coats of arms, those Jersey and Princeton having the positions of honor.

It reads: HER MEMORY LINGERS TO RECALL THE GUIDING MIND WHOSE DARING PLAN OUTFLANKED THE FOE AND TURNED DISMAY TO HOPE WHEN WASHINGTON WITH SWIFT RESOINE MARCHED THROUGH THE NIGHT TO FIGHT AT DAWN AND VENTURE ALL IN ONE VICTORIOUS BATTLE FOR OUR FREEDOM SAECVLA RE RAPIMVR NOS VLTRO MORANTES AD SIS TV PATRIAE SAECVLA QVI DIRIGIS The Latin couplet, translated, reads: The ages pass away. We too, yet lingering, are hurried on. thou, who guidest the ages, guard our land! Another interesting monument under way, yet not so far advanced, is the Princeton war memorial, which calls for the remodeling of the interior of Nassau hall. It is hoped to complete the subscription needed, $15,000, for this tribute to the memory 135 ton men who died in the world war, before the close of the commencement program. M.

Taylor Pyne, chairman of the committee, encouraged by Presi dent Hibben's appeal for funds, hopes for an early execution of the plan, which is now complete.

Tomorrow, baccalaureate Sunday, a choral recital will be given by university choristers in Procter Hall, in memory of Princeton men fallen in the war and also as a thanksgiving for victory.

A brass ensemble of noted musicians will play a series of Bach chorales from the top of either Holder or Blair tower as a call to the recital. The first portion, in memoriam, will close with a memorial address by President Hibben; the second, the Laudatio Solennis, or thanksgiving for vietory, including a special anthem written by Alexander Russell, director of music in the university. C. Lambert Heyninger, '16, will be soloist. Prayer diction, after responsive reading, close the recital.
