Fine Record for Short Month
in Red Cross Branch at Padli
The Paoll Red Cross held Itn regular
monthly meeting on Tuesday at the head
quarters of the brnnch on Lancaster avenue.
In spite of the weather, bad conditions ot
the roads and Illness in mnnv families, tho
workccompllshed In February was truly
remarKtoe. There were more than 5000 surgi
cal 'dressings, 220 garments and as many
knitted articles, a, wonderful record for tho
shortest month In tho year.
It Is most Interesting to watch the new
electrlo cutter In operation. This little ma
chine, guided by skillful hands, Is a real
boon In preparing the materials to be used
In the surgical dressings. The knitted arti
cles are unusually well made. Besides the
wool furnished by the Red Cross. Paoll has
received more than 11000 In donations for
wool. Most of this fund has already been
expended and the wool made Into sweaters,
helmets, mufflers, socks, wristlets and ear
protectors. Two fine afghans were on exhi
bition one representing the Swiss flag, a
white cross on a red Held made by a Swiss
patriot.
A letter has been received from France
complimenting the members on their splendid
work. To see this class engaged In Its work
of mercy Is Indeed an Inspiration)

Hunting a Husband

A Resolve
CHAPTKIl I
If
AM twenty-five. For tha laft live years
hao worked. I am so tired of It all.
I know what I want. It Is a home, husband,
children.
As I caught the 5:39 tonight and Mini:
listlessly Into a scut too weary even to open
tho paper Unit lay on my lap, I looked up tn
sea a girl abend of me. Such n girl! My
age perhtp8, but fresh and lovely She
talked animatedly with tho man beside her
I watched her every moo. Not a beautiful
face but lighted up with such feeling spirit.
Then I knew. For live jears I have given
overy ounce of my btrength to that piti
less god of work. And it has given me
whatT I looked hack over these years. A
callousness to bear things a disillusionment
of human nature.
Tho train stopped. I tucked my paper
under my arm and walked slowly along tho
tree-shadowed street. "There must bo some
way out. I shall do It I" I thought to my
self. I opened tho gate and lan lightly up
the path.
"Mother, I'm going to take a year oh" I
called, "The quiet figure on the porch looked
up.
"It's a good thing. Sara." sho said, "you've
seemed very tired lately."
The telephone rang as I was going down
to supper.
"It's Tom, Saru, are you going to bo home
this evening?"
It was a. surprise after nil these months
to hear from Tom. Tom tho steady but
uninteresting old pal.
Tom wasn't very slow In getting nt what
he wanted to say that evening.
"Bara, vou'll help me I know. It's a girl.
I'm crasy about her," he said as he lighted
a cigarette, "but 1 can't seem to underhtand
her."
"Dut what Is she like, Tom?"
"I' can't describe her. Just sweet nnd
soft. The kind that looks up to a man and
dependi on him."
I looked nt Tom keenly. Yes. he meant
It all, "Won't you bring her to see me?"
"That's It," said Tom. "you'ro so burlness
llke, Sara, nothing mysterious about you. I
knew jou'd help." And he roo to go.
I don't know ,what he s.ild after that I
Those words went beating Into my mind. "So
business-like, Sara, nothing mysterious nbout
you!" Very hard I clenched my hands. I
said goodnlght to Tom calmly enough,
though.
So at last I know what I am like.
I went up to my room. I lit both caudles
on my dressing-table and louked Intensely
at the face I saw. Kyes of slate color. Lips
compressed Into a straight red line. Hair
pulled back from a high forehead.
I pulled tha hair over my forehead. I
pinched my cheeks. Tilted my chin. And
looked again through half-lowered lids. Yes,
by every subterfuge I shall succeed. I shall
be mysterious.
For I am hunting a husband I

Beautiful Women and
(Copyright, JO It)
Till. Russlun court was nlwavs famous
In thn old days, when it existed, for the
number of pretty women at Its bulls and fes
tlvltliK, in well n't for the quantity of mng
nlllcent Jewel which they wore At present,
owing to mo events
which have taken
pipe during the
lust four years, a
(treat tinny of these
historical parures
Imvo been sold or
otherwise dirposed
of, nnd it might Iih
Interesting to reonll
the memories of the
splendid Jewels nnd
lovely women who
made the festivity at
the Winter Palace so
brilliant.
It Is useless hero
to H'puk about tha
r o w n diamonds.
These have been de
scribed so often. It
was tho I.mpross
nlono who had tho
right to uso them or
to wear them, and
then only unon rer-
l'ltlNCi:b,4 H.viiziWIl.L. tain occasions, when
she would request,
through the head of her household, the
crown treasurer to bring to her the orna
ments she wished to put on. The latter t-cnt
them to the soveielgn, under an escort com
posed of ono officer and four soldiers, when
u foimal receipt would be given to him In
exchange, When the Kmpress hnd taken
them on thiy vvero hrought back with the
rams formalities to tho trrosuiy, when the
receipt would ho returned. The Dowager Hm
press tinted these formalities, and had ob
tained from Alexander III the authorisa
tion to keep, together with her own jewels,
those which belonged to the clown, but after
her widowhood shu was compelled to return
them, much to her ronow,
SOMi: WONDKHKUL JUWI.L8
Apirt from theso official parures, Marie
Feodorowna possersed also inagnlllcont orna
ments of her own, among others a wonder
'ful piarl necklace, which had been be
queathed to her lunlmnd by his grandmother,
tho wife of Nicholas II, with tho condition
that he should present It to his conbort upon
Ills man luge. She had also the most magnif
icent turquoises nnd emeralds In existence,
and she was constantly adding to the con
tents ot her Jewel boxes.
Her sister-in-law, tho Giand Duchess
Wladlmlr, alo posscsed quite remarkable
pearls and diamonds, among others a tiara
nnd necklace of largo brilliants with the
most extraordinary pear-shaped pearls In
tho world. They were supposed to have
been given by Catherine II us u wedding
present to tho ronsctt of her son, the Grand
Duke Paul, and to have been bequeathed by
the latter to ono cf her daughters, who In
her turn left them to the Giand Duke Wladl
mlr, who In his childhood was n favorite of
hers.
Tho peisomil Jewels of tho Kmpress Mario
Alexandrowr.il, the grandmother of Nicho
las II, were equally divided unions' her eom
nnd her daughter, tho Duchess of Kdlnburgh.
The latter hhd already received, when she
married, any amount of ornaments, among
others tha rubles which had onco belonged
to tho Knuiross Kuglnle. who after the revo
lution cf September, 1870, sold them to the
Car Alexander II. He gave an enormous
price, for them. It Is not known what the
Duchess of I.dluburgh has done with all the
wonderful Jewels she possesses, but tho other
Russian grand duchesses have parted with
most of those which they had and sent them
to Paris and London to be sold, It Is likely
that several of these historic parures will
find thcro way to the United States sooner
or later.
PRIVATll COLLECTIONS
Private ladles In Russia ulso had beau
tiful Jewels, The diamonds and rubles of
the late Madame Durnowo could have been
worn by any queen, while those of the Prin
cess Youssoupofi were priceless. The latter
Inherited from her father several largo boxes
full of tho most splendid unset stones that
he had been collecting all his lite and always
kept under lock and ky. She has nineteen
rows of pearls, each one as large as a small
cherry, the longest of which fnlls down to
the bottom of her skirt, and her tiara of
ellow diamonds Is also quite an unique
thing, the like ot which could not be matched

MRS. E. WAGER-SMITH, OF LANSDOWNE
Beautiful Jewels
ontciuft Daschkoft, Orion. Davydoff and Ma
dame Leo Xnrlchklno have also wonderful
ornament1', whllu tho pearl and diamond
thirn which belonged to tho Into Princess
Anna Schnbatnrf had once belonged to the
Kmpress Josephine nnd rivaled that of the
Grand Duchess Wladlmlr to such an ex
tent that many peoplo could not tell which
was tho more beautiful.
Yes, it vi as n pretty sight to see all these
stones nnd. gems Hashing around the necks
and on the heads of all these lovely women.
It Is not llkelv that u hall will ever be given
ugtln In thn Winter Palnce, and very prob
ably none of us will ever behold the spectacle
It presented to the nnhoker In thoso past,
but-never-to be-forgottcn times. In other
countries, too, one could seo beautiful Jewels,
but I doubt whether there were ever such
n number as In tho St. Petersburg ot thoso
days.
It seems, though, that In Italy the Roman
princesses possess even moro splendid orna
ments than the great ladles of the Russia
of former times. The rubles of the Princess
Dorla and the diamonds of the late Du:hess
Torlonla art still the envy of tho Jewelers of
tin world, who would give nnythlng to be
able to dispose of them In Spain, also, as
well us In Austria, tho aristocracy possess
cms of Inestimable) value, nnd ill Hungnry
kho pearl necklaces which one sees remind
one of those which are described In the
rablan Nights.
KNGLISH OHNAMHNTS
Hut still, ufter tho Jewels which I liavo
roen exhibited at court festivities In St.
Petersburg, I think that the most lovely ones
I have ever looked upon have been In London,
where peirefses on State occasions show quite
an eMrnoidlnury display of pearls, diamonds
and other precious stones. The snpphlres
of the Duchess of Abercorn, for Instance, aro
tho finest known, and could have been com
pared with ndvantnga to those which until
lately weio In possession of the Russian
ciown. The penrls ot the American Duchess
of Mai thorough aro matchless, not only In
size, but also In purity and coloring, while
the diamonds belonKlng to the Westminster
fnmlly, nnd to the Duchess of Portland, are
.quite admirable.
I do not mention the Rngllsh crown Jewels,
hvcauia their history Is too well known.
It Is sufficient to sny that tho big South
African diamond Is tho largest In the world,
leaving far behind It the, until then, famous
Orion, the Ko-hl-noor and tho Regent, which
is still the property of the French State
When tho Queen wears It all other stones in
the room seem Insignificant. It Is i elated
that she. Is herself careful'' not to put It
on together with any other of her diamond
ornaments, for fear they should sink Into
nothingness beside it.
One wishes sometimes onn could know the
history of all these wondeiful gems one seen
adorn the person of fair women. If they
could speak, what tales they would relate
to us, what dramas of love, hate. Joy nnd
soirow they would unfold to us Queens
and princesses, noble ladles and fair sinners,
all have .worn them, all have liked them and
cared for them, nnd tho vicissitudes of hu
man life have been so often embodied In
these delicate jewels that even to those who
do not care for them they appeal by the
mvstcry which hovers over them, by nil that
they reveal to us of past hopes, past mis.
fortunes und lost-hnpplness, us well as by
tho "vanltas vanltatum" they recall.
DELICATE MUSICAL FARE
Philadelphia Orchestra's French Pro
gram Introduces Carlos Salzedo as
Harp Soloist
French music has been dominating tho
week's orchestral concerts. Walter Dam-
osch's recent program hero was fctrongiy
Gallic, and Leopold Stokowekl's yesterday In
the Academy exclusively ro, As a tribute to
the varied facets of French composition, how
ever, the Philadelphia Orchestra's exhibit
was not altogether convincing. Virtues of
Interpretation wcro abundant, but the pro
gram ns a whole lacked substance.
French music Is not all dewdrops and lace.
Save for tho refreshing, vigorous "Carnaval
Romalne" ovorturo yesterday's offerings, f
regarded as representative, gave that Impres
sion. An Innocuous, cleverly wrought but
very unimaginative symphony by Saint
Saens Ids No. 2 In A minor began the
bill. It Is a. weak specimen of a talent,
often capable In other works of scaling
noble heights of artistry, A scoro of greater
depth would have accorded more pertinence
of contrast to tho dainty and artless old
melodies of Oretry, which followed. With
exquisite charm and rare appreciative feel
ing Mr, Stokowskt read the suite of three
dancos, "Tambourln," "Menuetto" and
"Olgue" from "Cephalo et Frocrls."
The efforts of Carlos Salzedo, the harpist,
accentuated the now rather cloying fragility
of musical fare. This soloist, heard for the
first time hero as a virtuoso, although for
Borne years his abilities enriched the Metro
polltan Opera Houso orchestra, is an ac
complished master of one of the most ro
mantic of instruments. His nrt has grace,
refinement and beauty, sustained by an al
most Impeccable technique. But the harp,
lovely aa It la In an orchestra. Is somewhat
unsatisfying as a solo instrument.
Mr. Saliedo's selections revealed two of
the ablest ot modern French composers In
their moods ot hyper-elegance, Debussy's
"Danse Sacrea" and "Danse Profane" had
considerable poetic charm and some of the
subjective appeal typical of the most origi
nal of contemporary composers of France,
Ravel's "Introduction and Allegro" gave
Mr, Saliedu richer opportunities to disclose
his skill, and yet at tha same time em
phasised the fact that the harp Is most
effective when It is not the preponderating
Instrument In a score.
After all these musical rose leafs the dash
ing vlrflity of Borllos's "Carnaval Romalne"
proven a weioom stimulant. Mr. Stokowskl
