MAUD llADl-'OUD WAHRUN H going
to speak at tlio next afternoon tall;
attlio Independence Squnio Auxiliary of tho
Red Cross, but, my dears, I cannot jet tell
j oil whether it will bo Monday or Tuesday.
Of courno It wax to luivo been Monday,
but then, you sec, ramo Doctor Garfield's
order to bhut down olllco buildings; so un
less, because It Is Guvcrnmont work, tho
room:) aro allowed to bo opened for the
women to do their lied Cioss dressing,
etc., tho day will havo to be changed to
Tuesday. I will certainly tell jou which
day It will bo us noon as I hear, for nono
of Us who bo to wot Is thcro and to hear
the weekly tnlks would want to miss
hearing thli delightful writer tell of her
experiences In France nnd Kngland.
THINGS Eccm to be so mixed ubout the
orders for tho llvo days and the ten
Mondays that a great many sttango state
ments set about, and ono which 1 hap
pened to nail yesterday was tho fact that
tho Alcott lunchroom, In tho Sheridan'
Building, at Ninth nnd Sansom streets,
would not be opened until next Wednesday,
This Is a mistake. It will bo cloned on
Monday, as the Sheridan Hulldlug must bo
closed, but on Tuesday tho lunchroom will
bo open as usual.
Whllo on tho subject of the lunchioom,
did j.ou know it Is gotten up under tho
nuspice3 of tho Pennsylvania, Association
nf Women Workers? They hao another
lunchroom In tho parish houso attached to
Old Chilst Church, on Second sheet, and
food is sold nt both these placo ulniost nt
cost. This is only ono or tho Rood woiks
attached to tills association, which nlso
mns Whltford Ixidge for the working girls
In tho summer time. Tho current eents
talks at tho Bio.nl Street Theatre on
Wednesday mornings by Miss Janet Rich
aids, of Washington, are held for tho
benefit of Whltford Lodge.
TT WAS Interesting to hear csterday of
J- tlio muniago of Ned Wnlu nnd Miss
Edna 1'itz-llugh Laivienee, which took
place In Washington on Thursday. Ned
Wnln, jou know. Is u brother of Mrs.
Chaiics Custls Harrison and Mr. Jacob
Wain. Ho married some thlity or mote
jeais ago Miss Charlotte Sharpless, who
at present, with her daughter, Funnlo Mor
ris Wain, is living in Santa Barbara, Cal.
Mr. and Mrs. Wain separated somo years
ago and subsequently wcio divorced nnd
Mi. Wnln has beon living In Vliglnla.
His brldo Is tho daughter of tho lato
Ocorge D. Lawrence, of Vlcksbuig, Miss.,
former piesident of tho Mississippi Central
Itallroad, und her mother was Miss Kdna
I'ltzhugh, of 1'iodeilcksburg, Va., whoso
ancestors in the year 1700 built Chatham,
at Fredericksburg, ono of tho most beau
tiful places i A'lrglni.i. Mr. Wain hlm
fcolt is a great-grandson of Ilobert Mori is.
tho financier of the Revolution.
T LOVH to study people, don't you? And
ono of tho things I lovo best Is to hear
them classify things, as it were, in their
uvvn minds. Tho other day I was sitting In
tho Bellcvue-Stratford nnd tho crowd at
tho front elevators was so great ns to hold
up tho traffic, as It were. I'eoplo entering
tho hotel had to push and shove their way
through tho crowds, and It was ns much
as your llfo was worth to seo or iccognl70
any ono you might Intend to meet. Well,
as I sat there watching tho crowd ono
woman approached tho long-suffering at
tendant and demanded, "What's going on?"
"Oh," said tho long-suffering one, "there's
s. dog show and a wedding this afternoon."
WH HAD such a delightful little Informal
time yesterday afternoon at the Char
lotto Cushman Club, despite tho snow and
bad weather outside. Mrs. Otis Skinner
gavo a little tea to tlio members of her
husband's company and Invited a few of
her friends to meet them. You know, Mr.
Skinner Is hero playing in "Mister Ante'
nlo," and Sirs. Skinner Is ns much Inter
ested In the work nnd the players as ho Is,
though she no longer appears herself. It
was Just a splendid, cozy party and every
one had a wonderful time.

A BRILLIANT CONCERT
Brnhms Symphony Replaces Mahler
Work Thadtleus Rich an Ad-
mirnble Soloist
The public has been freUentl, the gainer
by mishaps preventing the production of
novelties by (ho Philadelphia Orchestra.
Musical experiments havo been cast aside
and Mi. htokowskl has gone directly to fonts
of supernal beauty to find substitutions for
he works originally billed. Circumstances of
this kind resulted in a delightful concert at
the Academy yesteiday afternoon, when the
Second Symphony of Drnhms was given In
stead of the Fifth of Gustav Mahler The
Mahler composition has never been heard
here. Like many modern works. Its artistic
rating cannot bo accurately made now. Of
the Urahms No. S no such doubts are even
peimlsslble. It is ., inspired masterpiece
from Its romantic opening notes to its spirited
exultant tlnale A red slip ! ,e
book announced that the, change had been
mado owing to the delay occasioned by the
Orchestra being snowbound on its recent
western tour. a,m
Surely this Symphony In D should answer
conclusively tho shallow critic lam that
Urahms is diy, dull or unmelodlous. Notblmc
In Sehiunaii Is more tunely. more gracious
more simply and purltylnglv lovely than the
lrst thieo movements, which ate almost
lyric In character. The finale baa the
breadth and vigor of Beethoven, whose man
tle of symphonic mastery unquestionably set
tled on Johannes Urahms. Save for an oe.
c-asional roughness of the lioin cholrn In the
last movement, tho woik was admirably
played and Mr. Stokowskl interpreted lis
Bplrlt wiih rare sympathy.
The soloist was the Orchestra's authori
tative concertmaster. Thaddeus Rich His
offering was n novelty, a "Poeme" for violin
and orchestra by Hrnest Chausson. a pupil
of Cesar Franck and a composer who often
reflects the great lielglan's prevailing mood
of musical reflection. The work, which has
much delicate beauty and Is Inspired by
tender poetic feeling, is unusually free from
violin pyrotechnics. Mr. Rich's sound accom
plishments In the rantablle vein were elo
quently summoned and he played the haunt
ing measures with rich beauty of tone and
his familiar facile command of the mechanics
of his Instrument,
The program closed with a livid exposi
tion of the colorful charm and the brilliant
orchestration of a suite from Berllox'a
"Damnation of Faust" that Included the
"Menuet dea Follets," the "Danse des
Sylphes" and the "Marche Ilongrolso." The
last named Is that Infectious Instrumental
setting of the famous Rakocxy March, which
displays Berllox'a contrapuntal supremacy In
daxzllng style. The original baslo air Is still
used by Austrian military bands In the pres
ent war. But as a Frenchman made the
arrangement disclosed yesterday the ques
tlon of patriotlo propriety hardly arises.
The "Star Spangled Banner," with which
Mr. Stokowskl began the concert, was given
according to his new Instrumentation of tlio
anthem made recently when the director was
snowbound In Kalamazoo, It combines sim
plicity and dignity with new effects of horns,
drums and strings that are decidedly thrill
ing. Following the symphony Poctor Hart
