THURSDAY night a little party of teachers from Seattle boarded a special railway coach in Tacoma, and shook hands with 35 teachers from Paterson, Indiana.

"We're from Seattle, and we want to tell you all about our city, and to assure you of a welcome there," they said. They did so. The eyes of the Paterson teachers

i opened wider and wider as the train sped on. They had supposed themselves strangers in a strange land, and behold, here they w«re surrounded by friends! And today

! they're being rushed around on sightseeing trips. It's just one of dozens of little surprise parties that will be held this summer as a result of The Star's suggestion last week,

1 prompted by an inspiration from Secretary Case, of the Commercial Club. The big delegations, The Star figured, were the only ones getting any attention. Hence the

| little parties were suggested, and they're now busy making boosters for Seattle. If you know of any coming, please tell us about them.
