J. Tou know, tho Main Line branch has Just f completed Us membership drive and col i lected 8000 new members, besides 1700 re- tievvnla. Just think of It! Ono of tho workers told me that they averaged two members to every houso from Ardmoro to Vlllanova. Somo membership that! 'Women certainly do lenow how to work! w E HUMAN beings nro funny things, aren't we? Wo fuis and fume, and f when we hear tho Metropolitan Is going to V give "I'aust" or "I'agllacci wo say, "Kor i goodness sake, why on earth don't they gHe us ono of tho new operas hero?" And ' then when they give us a magnificent per i formanee In point of real music nnd cc- qulslto Hccnery, such ns Liszt's "St. Eliza I belli" last night, because It's nil beautiful I and puro and high, and there's no special t plot nnd no hectic loo scenes, we don't i Uko It. .Still I do think tho audience did j appreciato tho tableaux, but I doubt. From 'tho general attitude of the house, which . clapped and applauded through one of tho mot beautiful bits of orchestration, be . ttveen tho third nnd fourth tableaux, nnd i was only stopped by the hissing of tho $ Opera Club, It "St. Elizabeth" will bo wel- ; corned hero again. Tney can taiK an tney f llko about wanting new things, but they want tlio old ones tnoy Know oy neart anu J that havo regular tunes. Some of tho boxes wcro empty last night, but many of the regular operagocrs were there. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Cnner, Jr., ' were with tho Hamilton Colkets Uytendalo looking extremely well In n crimson frock. Edith Wayno Rldgway Mso wore an old shade of crimson velvet nnd tulle, which was perfectly lovely nnd wonderfully be coming. Mrs. George Dallas Dixon, who was In the Stotesbury bov, wore a gown of bright green satin nnd a black paradlso In her hair. Mrs. Georgo Tales Baker wore handsome gown of black, nnd Mrs. Madi son Taylor, who was In the Baker's box, was In gray. There wcro soldiers nnd naval olllcers, marines and reserves scatteied through tho audlenco as usual, and though every single scat was not filled, It was what might be called n decidedly brilliant houso. ONE of our worthy war works Is being undertaken by the Order of tho lted Star. And It Is a decidedly practical as well as sentlmontal one, Tho Order of the Bed Star Is a companion philanthropy to tho Bed Cross, but Its helpfulness Is directed to the succor of tho dumb beasts which servo our nrmlcs In war. Tho local ' branch of tho order Is planning a dog show for Saturday afternoon and evening of this week In the Roso Garden of tho Belle vue Stratford. Proceeds will bo for ths L benefit of a fund to purchaso an am v hulance for the war zone to caro for battle. ' strlckea animals. Philadelphia Inter ested In tho work of tho S. P. C. A. will naturally desire to aid in the good work of ? relieving tho suffering of man's dumb her vltors and friends. For wo must not forget the services of tho faithful horses and dogs of the war zone. The little Bed Cross dog, who hunts the living among tho dead and tho horse who bears his rider Into tho midst of tho smoko and shell of battle. Should wo refuse to help them? I think not, indeed, AND now we havo moro weddings on the tapis. There's Sarah Nellson, whose engagement to Lieutenant Crawford Ma- . delra was announced a little more than a month ago.
