The week of Monday, May 13, to Saturday, May 18, has been announced by the wnr savlngs committee ns Pledge Week for war savings In tho eastern district of Pennsyl vania, nnd elaborate plans are being laid for An Intensive house-to-house campaign. Thousands of franked postcards have been prepared nnd will bo used by Boy Scouts, postmen, wnr-savlngs workers nnd others In personal solicitation to secure definite pledges for specified purchases of war-savings nnd thrift stamps during the remainder of the year. This plan. It Is expected, will secure pledges during the Pledge Week for the en tire year's quota of the war-savings loan. Secretaries of all war-savings societies will be urged to co-operate In securing definite pledges from members, and hundreds of ad ditional volunteers hnve signified their Inten tion to aid In securing pledges. The renson for selecting May 13 to 18 Is that It gives tho people a little while to re cover from the Liberty Loan campaign, but comes ahead of the Red Cross drive, which starts May 20. In Xebraska, where Pledgo Week was first Instituted, the plan succeeded admirably. In this State, before the attempt to make a house-to-house visitation for signed pledges, which was done during March, the per capita for Xebraska from the beginning of the cam paign to the end of February was i 4.4 3, rep resenting three months' work of the cam paign. For the month of March, nfter the pledge card had been signed, the per capita aggregated I0.G1, exceeding any results yet accomplished In the country. This increase was traced almost entirely through tho pledge cards. Nebraska's per capita to the end of March was J 11.07, the highest for any State In the Union. A meeting of county chairmen will bo held In Philadelphia the end ef next week to discuss plans for Pledge Week. Frank A. Vanderllp. of the national war-savings com mittee In Washington, has assured Pennsyl vania State Director Cassatt that he will be present at the meeting J.

SUPERB FINAL PROGRAM Orchestra's Matinee Series Brought to a Brilliant Close at Academy In tho crescendo of exultant trumpet calls and fiery polyphonic climaxes superimposed In tho finale to Tschalkowsky's fifth sym phony Leopold Stokowskl yesterday brought the season's matinee series of Philadelphia Orchestra concerts to a close. The fiftieth and last performance of tho regular sub scription cycle will be given tonight. For this farewell pair of programs the director happily selected three numbers potent In popular appeal and nt the same tlmo calculated to display the splendor of the orchestra's artistry after a season of fruitful development. As at tho opening concerto, no soloist diverted attention from the purely Instrumental eloquence. The or chestra, playing with masterly co-ordination, assumed the true function of protagonist. Tho whole personnel. Including the conduc tor, warranted recognition as a superb musical unit. The Tschnlkowsky symphony revealed this enviable authoritative quality In Us highest estate. Mr. Stokowskl seems temperament ally equipped to Illumine the romanticism, the rich melodic virility and the spectacular Instrumental devices of the most popular of Russian composers. He reveled In the senti mental and hauntlngly tuneful Interludes of the fifth symphony yesterdsy and read Its detonating climaxes with a dazzling sense of emotional color.

The concert's opening number was a suite, Including the overture, nocturne and scherzo, from Mendelssohn's ever charming and po etic incidental music to "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

Hunting a Husband By MARY DOUGLAS (Covurtoht) CHAPTER XLUI Facing the Truth IT HAS happened I So suddenly that t have not been able to catch my breath. Nor td think. I do not want to think. But I must, I have been stnylng on nnd on at Har riet's. I've been making her a simple frock or so. And she has been so delighted wth my simple skill. Often In the nfternoons I have strolled out on Lovers' Lane. A pretty walk it Is. Bright-colored vines creep over the tumbling stone walls. A deserted lane, except for me and Doctor Blxby. For In some way ho learned that I walked there. Often In the afternoons he would chance by. Or so I thought. And 1 played my game. My game of flattering him, laughing nt him, listening to him. nnd, I am ashamed to say, leading, him on. ' But he has been so Indifferent, Sometimes I caught a flash from those red-brown eyes, but never anything more. So I have gone on. And today Ho told me that he Is going away to be In a hospital over there. I was not ashamed to show him how I felt. I knew he was going to risk his life" In the field service. I said In a low. trembling voice, "I wish you did not have to go." He said: "You care J" I did not look at him. "Of course I core," I said with lowered head. The next minute his arms were about me. My face was crushed against his shoulder. Then hot kisses covered my hair, my cheeks. I strugrled against him. I tried to push him away. Useless. He held me off a minute, saying, "You said you cared 1" That you were going I" I gasped be tween breaths. Ho almost flung me from him. Ills rag was sudden and terrible. "So you have been playing with me you you Jlls eyea were burning, fiery. All his fury welled up In the low passionate words he flung at me. , "No, po. no I" I cried. "I was not playl with you." "Then you will marry me I" It waa met of a command than an entreaty. "Give me time," I Whispered, "f. Reeet think " I did not look at htm again. I only hH , his horse go stumbling down the lane. ' I am no ashamed, Horribly ashamed. I thought I wanted him to care for me, Mr that he does I find I cannot. What do & mean? Am I empty. ahallowT , Jj "No. no. no," I said the words again.
