Well, tlio motor messengers- nro going to glo n Valentino revue the. nlRlit of February 1 In tho sailors ami marines' recreation building at Leairuo Island. Tlio revuo will bo called ' Shreds nnd Patches." and pretty much of social fcmlnlno Philadelphia, nlded and abetted, spurred nnd prnctlccd and ginccd by Charlie Morgan, will appear on the stage that night. In fact, It's to bo a. most am bitious entertainment; iulto one of tho most ambitious that has been put back of the footlights by any amateurs so far this winter. THE program will consist In eleven parts; nnd let mo tell you, the members of the. Motor Messenger servlco have decided that, that program will be a most brilliant nnd finished nffalr of tho theatre. Itohcarsals are being held under tho dlicctlon of Char llo Morgan, who seems now to bo tho "Oscar Hammerstcln" of amateur perform ances; and there will be In tho entertain ment girls who never before trod tho boards, but who surety will necr cscapo again, aljor tho marines and pallors and tho messengers' families and friends hae seen them. 'Shreds and Patches" Is tho namo which has been very aptly chosen for tho per formance by tho women of the committee,, who hao organized and procuied almost unlimited talent for tho pioductlon. CSood night, It's going to be some partjl Tlin commlttco Includes Mrs. E. n.

All of this work of preparation-for tho event has been undertaken besides tho ery real and laborious work which Is being dono every day by tho women In tho Motor Messenger service, especially, this month, too. You will lmaglno how hard It must bo In this awful weather to make tlmo on tho snowy side streets, for these femlnlno motorists work, let mo tell, with a capital W from 9 to B cvciy day.

ITS nil In tho point of view, whether wo ndmlt It or not. Thcto aro tho facts to confiont us. O.i the first heatlcss Monday I was going down to tho College Club to dlno before attending tho theatre', and thinking it better to do my walking first and uirlvo light, straight In front of tho door, I took the Spruco street car down. I had to wait soma tlmo at tho corner, and when the tar flnully camo It was filled, ea to overflowing, with those of tho laboring class, who had worked long nnd hard that day. Their faces were black with coal dust, their clothes thick with the dust of ages and greaso and many of them slept from exhaustion. My llrst Impulse was to draw back nnd wait for tho next car; but jou know "those Spruco street cars"; I rebuked mvsclt and walked In past the door and hung on to a strap. (Who was I to object to sitting nct to an honest work lngman, even If he was wearing soiled and greasy clothes) Soon I heard the loud tones of a young Italian, at tho back of the car, who was entertaining Ills' friends, and what do ou think ho said. "You know ona night I get In desa car and vvot you thecnk ccs In; LADEES younga gentle man's La deesi" Could anything de scribe tho contempt of the tone, the con tempt of countenance! And Nancy to herself remarked: As dirty wprklngmen are to me. young ladles are to him. Q. B. D. NANCY WYNNE.

It is 'Pestilence," a new tanvas bv a Phlladel phl.in Hugh II rireckenrldge In tho chief r.illcrj, I wheie the gi cutest number of the really notable contributions to the exhibi tion are assembled, It sharply clamois fur attention to Itself, to tho foi getting of the othtr canvasres there And vet, hiving ar rested that nttentlon. It quietly holds It, soothing the ixcltitlon produced b Its ail dac!t vv Ith ItH lestfulncss of lniruony In color mill motion. "Pcstlltnco" Is the presentation of the ab stract Idci of devastating plague. To de terlho It crudely, it portravs n mats of stiickeu human llgures, Ntlffened In gro tesqun attitudes of suffering upon the ground, their lulf-nudo bodies Intermingled with each other. In tho btckground Is n sky of stoim toin dnuils On the left looms a demoniac figure, whose face, an almost featuieless blot, surmounted br n 1'iusslan helmet, still strongly FiiKgests that of tho Kaiser, who has brought pestilence to tho nations On the right, nbfive, the heap of ghastly dead, leers a skeleton head Horror bicathes from tho whole scene. And ct, so rennrknhlo Is the beauty of the color ing mid composition of thn canvas, the spec tator Instantly loses whatever sensation of repugnanco bo miy have first received and becomes enthralled by tho power of the palntei's brush.

Rlbera perhaps, who splattered pilnt with a masculliilty, n thundering surcness, missed In many a mod ni. Artists will exclaim In admiration over tho easv swirl of tho composition, Its sweeping motion of color from tho vivid crimson light ing over the shoulder of the ngure on tho left, down to and nrrosa tho huddled llgures prono In the foreground, nnd up unco more to com plete the rotation thrush tho pallno greens of tlio fctoim clouds founlng In tho back ground. So cunningly has tho eomposltlon been fashioned of color as well as line, each vitally essential to each either, that to attempt to reproduco It In "black and white" would bo fatuous. And. Indeed, tlio painting Is so thoroughly an Idei expressible only In Its own medium tint It would ho vain to try to pirallcl Its t-asllv understood sjmbollsm In words, although It might bo approximately paralleled In music. Certain to rank with Sir. Iireckenrldgo's tnur do forco In popular Interest will be tho Interesting poi trait of John P. Rockefeller, placed In tho same gallerv, which his been recently eomplctc-d by John Singer Sargent, undisputed master of American portrait painters Tho pleeo was tho center of at traction at tho recent annual exhibition of tlio Sletropollt in Stuseum In New York, but is now shown here for tho first time. Sir. Sar gent's new portrait of Prctldent Wilson Is expected to nrilvn heio by Peluuary II and will remain on view until tho termination of the exhibition on Starch Z. Splendid as Sir. Sargent's portialt of the oil king may be. It will scarcely bo of as much Interest to tho art critics as will be the new examples of portialturo and flgme study by somo of the jnunger artists. Inas much as their work In tho present show Is Indicative of their growing ability, while that of Sir. bargent can add little to the pre emlnenco ho gained n score of eirs ugo Particularly lino aro the two examples of Leopold Scvficrt's recent work One Is his debonair portrait of his friend, Fritz Krelsler. In whloh the violinist, tinned like a gjspy nnd with a green scarf loosely knotted beneath his throat. Is depleted with a surety of draftsmanship and a freedom of handling that nro admirable. And tho other is a stunning bravur.i study, 'The Lacquer Screen," an astonishing example of the joung Phlladelphlan's vcrsatllllj, a reclining nude Ilgure of exqulslto grace of line, her cold beauty eutllned against a richly om uncnted screen in nn arrangement which "gets every ounce posslblo" out of the canvas bpace. Then, too, George Bellows, departing from his brutally powerful studies of prize flKht eis and 'saw -dust trail" conveits. shown a finely sjmpatbetlc portrait of bis friend, "nul Slanshlp. tho joung sculptor, admirable for Its nalva Interpretation of spiritual rlmrllrl tles, and a broad study of a delightful old ruffian, whom be rails "Padre." Georgo Ljks, who Is not exhibiting In "hlladelphla as ctlen as he should, Is bannlly rem-caenied i,v ,i Rembrandtesepio matron bmlllng down on her tortoise-shell tat, a pair full of humor mil life, which he calls "The Happy Tamlly," He has also a typical Luks transcript of New York. "Houston Street." a market place full of bustle and flavor and glowing v.lth a red sunset. Glorious, indeed, Is Robert Henri's "Re clining Nude," rich In Its ruddy warmth, al though popular favor wilt perhaps go to his no less colorful study of a Spanish girl of Segovia. Charming portraits of children by Philip Hale. Ljdla Field Emmet, Alice Kent Stoddard and others will no doubt also bring delighted exclamations from the visitors to the galleries. ' Notable among the land scapes Is Daniel Garber's softly colored and finely wrought study of a woodland "Quarry" by a dark pool, a neighbor to Ilorat'ii Walk er's goldmedaled genre painting of "Hoy Feeding CalveH." . But like Arthur Beecher Carles's beauti ful harmonies of color tu his "Still Life" a study of flowers In a bowl, a painting which Is sure to appeal to those who would rather send out their own argosies of tho spirit than to watch the ships tied up at others' piers. Is Henry SIcCarter's Iqvoly poetlo reverie, the Interpretation ot a peaceful valley brimming over with wine of sunshine, which he calls "Three Churches." Here, If nnvwhero In the long, laden galleries. Is poetlo vision made Visible to others by Its expression through a technique vvhlch Is Itself a praver and an aspiration. Dull la he who would ask In what valley nf reality that scene was painted. 8.
