little boys nnd girls thero and It would
mako your heart ache to bee those blessed

had been run over and tho other leu was

the tiny ones, and so ho lifted tho llttlo
deformed ono and shared his plcturo book
with her.
I stopped In ono day when they were all
playing In tho big room which Is bet asldo
for that .purpose nnd "Sister" asked them
to sing for mc, Thero wcro about twenty
children In tho room and thev were all
r busily playing, but at her word they stood
V up and sang uway as If their little lives
depended on it: cute llttlo darky songs and
ono or two llttlo ragtime melodies.
And It's for these dear little children
that tho women's auxiliary of tho homo

IN THESE days of economy, the little
dcb-thnt-wouUWiave-been of whom I
speak was trying hard to carry out tho
conbcrvlng plans In nil things. So she
wore low shoes and high pearl gray gaiters
for best and used last year's high walking
bhocs, resoled, for every day.
j. uno evening a fortnight ago she had
been to headquarters studying "first aid"
and so foith uml It had taken nearly two
,Hours to reach her home afterward, due to
the fact that rtho. cars wcro held up by
,? "the snow." When Up. who was taking her
It '"home, finally dclhered her at her door sho
6 fvras so tiled nnd exhausted that sho did
4, snot look at tho gaiters as she pulled them
4 ' off beforo tumbling Into bed. '
Next morning nbout half after 9 o'clock
the phone rang and It was her father, who
j called from his ofllco. "My dear, Mr.
t fl 's daughter Is passing through the
jclty today nnd I have told him you would
entertain her at luncheon lit the Union
league,- sam ne. "ami l vo asked Mrs.
C . to chaperon you." "Very well,
Bad," replied daughter, glad enough of a
lunch "on father."
Then she arose and prepared to mako
herself look her bebt, when )o and behold!
tho gutters wero found to bo black with
mud. What to do? Kven wcro sho willing
to bleak through her economical regime, It
wm "heatlcss" Monday and bho could not
buy ne. ones for love or money. So, my
dears, that resourceful young womun pro-
rtf ceeded to wash thoso spata, lighted the
T oven of the gas range In tho apartments
i' .nd. placing tho gaiters therein, sho dried
r (hem to a nicety. "I had to basto them
often," said she, when telling mo tho talc,
"for fear they would bum." And, if you'll
believe mo, I never saw neater looking
spats than that selfsamo young woman
had about her slim weo ankles, and they
wcro tho ones, sho told mc.

ROSEN'S STIMULATING ART
Young American Violinist Stellar l'ea-
tuio of Brilliant Philadelphia
Orchestra Concert
A resourceful talent lu which Intellectual
fire Is a prime Ingredient Is that of Max
Bosen. who made his debut hero at the
Philadelphia Olohestra's very stimulating
concert lu the Academy esterday afternoon.
Tho joung American violinist Is u product,
as Jascha Helfetz Is, of thc gifted Leopold
Auer's expert tutelage.
Comparisons of Bosrn's art with that of
tha most sensational virtuoso of tho season
have thus inevitably arisen. Such a method
of apprlsement Is natural enough and yet
not precisely lair to euner performer.
Helfetz Is a master of phenomenally sensu
ous tone, u necromancer with supernal
musical beauties at his command. His direct
appeal Is to tho senses. Bosen, with, at this
writing, a loss dazzling technique, evinces
an Intellectual grasp of his subject matter
that la highly Invigorating. It is possible
that his development may lead him Into
paths which even Helfetz may not tread.
Musical prophecies are dangerous, but from
what has been seen and heard here of the
two gifted young violinists who have so
stirred the American public this year, It can
be suggested that their respective arts will
become rather complementary than com
petitive. Helfetz on his two appearances
here offered nothing so pregnant with Intro
spective Import as the profound and master
ful Brahms concerto In D. which his alleged
"rival" gave yesterday. Bosen's plajlng was
of a fervid sincerity that bespoke a person
ality as earnest as It Is subtly magnetic.
That he completely won tho Interest of tho
large audience was manifest In the warmth
of hU reception. He was enthusiastically
applauded after his dignified and authorlta
tle reading of th thnurhtfut allegro, after
his delicate and refreshingly unsentimental
handling of the exquisite adagio, and after
his I spirited, yet discreet, Interpretation of
the' vivacious last movement of one of the
few violin concertos that are almost sym
phonic tn their breadth and grandeur.
The purely orchestral nurojbera of Mr.
Stokowskl's program were keenly enliven
Inr. The "Melateralnger" overture, the solo
Wagnerian number of a program that waa
originally to have been devoted exclusively
to the Inspired aerman who fervently com
bated Prussian oppression, waa zestfully and
sparkltngly given.. The Tachalkowsky Fourth
Symphony, which closed the bill, proved as
ever a sense-satisfying revel of'sheer melody.
The much-admired melancholia of the
I'Pathetlaue" color scarcely a passing mood
1,'of.thU Joyous, work. Mr.. Stokowakl read lt

Harriet, Marchioness
Copyrlffftt lOlt.
THH other day there fell Into my hands
quite by chance a book called "My Rus
sian nnd Turkish Journals," written by the
Dowager Marchioness of Dufferln. nnd as I
began rending Its Interesting pages I remem
bered the beautiful
and accomplished
lady who had pre
tided with such graoo'
over the vice-regal
houses at Ottawa
nnd Calcutta, and
who everywhere had
left such charming
remembrances. And
I wondered how It Is
that nowadays we no
longer meet women
of that old tpe.purc
and proud, who nro
an honor to their sex
and to their country
I do not wlh to de

generation, but ono

preceding ono had a
charm of Its own,

years than the bolstrous activity t.t latter
day representatives of tho "weaker eex."

but so devoid of maliciousness, and at tho
same time so thoroughly Interesting a mag
nlllccnt example of the poslblllty of writing
a fascinating work, In which no shade of
scunllou.sncss uppears.
While I was reading It my thoughts went
back to those days on the Bosporus about
which she speaks. How well I remember
her during that summer, when we used to
see each other continually at Constantinople,
and especially during that visit to a harem
where we met for tho llrst time, and which
sho describes so vividly. Lady Dufferln wan
then at the icnlth of her beauty. I don't
think that I have over seen a prettier woman,
and the reputation she had was certainly
well deserved In every respect.
Bur husband, the carl, afterward Marquis
of Duffcrin and Ava, was considered one of
tho most brilliant diplomats of his time. In
all the positions which he filled, either as
vlterov In Canada nnd In India, or us am
bassador In St. Petersburg, Constantinople,
Borne and Paris, he had been n success He
had most accommodating manners, which Is
tuoro than cruld be said of some of his
successors In Bussia, Sir Itohert Morler, for
instance: and his ready wit, conciliating
temper, combined with Hrmncss nnd dignity,
had singled him out among his collengues
almost from tho first dayH that he had entered
upon the dlplomatlcal taioer. His beautiful
wife had certainly contributed to his suc
cess, ar.d to this dav sho Is icmembered with
nffcctlonato gratltudo In Petrograd, the life
of which toward the end of the last century
sho narrates so vividly in her book.

The Westbide Presbyterian Church has a
of Bed Cioss workers belonging to
Auxiliary No. tiOO. of which Mrs. Charlotte
XV Biook Is director. This group has been
do'ng splendid work. Jt Is composed of two
units one which meets on Tuesday evenings
Horn's until 10 o'clock, under Bio direction
of Mrs, John Lessens, In the V W. C. A.
building, CSJO Germantown nvenuo.
Ther are about bcventy-flvo women work
ing for this unit, which was organized ten
months ago to make surgical dressings and
i.-.iiui nunnlles. They concentrato most
of the r time and attention on the making of
hospital garments.
Mrs. Andrew B. Wight has charge of the
,i, unit, which meets In the Y. W. 0, A.
building all day every Friday. Thero aro
thirty women belonging to this unit and they
have two workrooms on the third floor,
where they mako surgical dressings, hos
pital shirts, burgeons," operative sh rta and
other hospital supplies. Last week they
turned out 300 surgical dressings, and have
made na many as 600 in one day. Of course,
the number of dressings turned out In a day
depends largely on the style of dressings,
as some are very much harder and more
tedious, and, therefore, require a longer time
to make than others. Tills unit Is particu
larly expert In tin making of five-yard rolls,
which aro very difficult to do. They have
finished as many as eighteen and twenty
rolls In u day.

NO POLITICAL DE3IBES ,
The Turkish journal, also, la Interesting,
especially by what It does not tll us. It la
no secret now that during the time Lord

palace at I'era. of which she gives us such
an amusing description, down to tho In
numerable flights of stairs tt unfortunate
inhabitants had to climb every day. But
lint ono word capable of being Interpreted In
tho light of an Indiscretion escapes her.,
There Is no eagerness to be considered a,
"femme politique," no question of any wish
on her part to make herself Important, She
Is restful In an age of rcstlessnees.
Ono will carry away, after having perused
tho book, an Impression of calm and of sin
cere pleasure, such as very few volumes at
the present day leave behind. Since tha
death of her husband Lady Dufferln haa
lived more or less In retirement In London
or In Ireland, where her oldest daughter.
Lady Helen Munro Ferguson. In also settled.
Thoso who havo seen her lately, nay that
she has kept nil her good looks, notwith
standing tho fact that her hair Is quite
white, nnd that sho has seriously taken up
her duties as a grandmother. The.il-uh of
her eldest son, tho Barl of Ava, who waa
killed during the Boer War, was for her a
blow from which sho never recovered. Other
family unpleasantnesses connected wltL
money matters nlso came to darken the clos
ing years of an existence which was so bril
liant at a certain moment, ar.d tho loss, of
her husband was a trial difficult for her to
bear.
But all these catastrophes nave not embit
tered her: she has remained the kind, indul
gent and graceful lady she nlwaya was, and
the serenity of her soul has never been
shaken. One of her greatest pleasures Is to
be with her naughter-ln-Iaw, the present ,
Marchioness of Dufferlr,, on American, who
has brought with her to the old home of the
Duefferlns at Ciandebnyo nil the cheerfulness
of her country, together with Its practical
