There v ere a lot of naval officers and ma

filer General Waller, with his wife an J
several friends, occupied a box and tlu

who played Plnkcrton last night, was In

It's a great Idea these artists coming

so late in the season, and I'm sure thero
were many others "who welcomed the Idea
besides myself, Judging from the audience.

T HEAR Susettc Hjcrson was married
"over there" on Saturday. She has
been in France for, some time, you knew,
doing bacteriological work, and her mother,
Mrs. Arthur nycrson, sailed in April with
n staff of nurses to equip a new hospital
there. Shortly after she nirlvcd the en
gagement of Susctte to Lieutenant George
V. Patterson, of Ann Arbor, Mich., was
announced. Though the Ityoisons only
lived hc)c a couple of years, when Mlllio
and Nell came out, their connection with
Philadelphia Is so wide one feels as Inter
ested In their doings as In those of many
a Phlladelphla-born girl.
Mrs. nycrson was Mies Linllle Boric, a
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jiilui
J. Boric and a sister of Mrs. (!. llcidc Nor
ris, Mrs. Arthur nush. Miss Sophie Boric,
Adolph K. Borle and John Boile. Mrs.
Norris lives In this city and so docs Mrs.
nush. The other members of the family
are scattered through the country and, the
It croons have lived In Chicago, New York
and Boston as veil us here.
TotniR Arthur Rycrson was killed In an
automobile accident at Rrn Mnwr live or
six j cars ago. It was when hiii father
and mother' were returning to this coun
try on tho Titanic to attend Ills funeral
that Mr. Rjerscm was di owned, together
with Gcoigo Wldencr, his son Hurry, .fohn
B. Thayer, Jr., John Jncob Astor and the
rest of those brave men who gave place
to tho women In tho boats that terrible
nfght.
Jack nyerson, who was then a vciy
small boy, was saved with lils mother and
two sisters. I
Will you ever forget the horrors of that'
news? And now wo iiear so many hor
rors day after day we think nlmost noth
ing of It. All three Byerson girls have
married since then, nnd Jack Is now at
Harvard, or rather is at the Ryerwin coun
try home outside of Richfield Sprints, New
York. They are a most attractive famll.
WHILE on the subject of the Borje fam
ily, did you lcnov that Sophlo Norris",
tho daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Heldo Nor
ris, who has been doing canteen work for
the Red Cross "over there," was decoiated
by tho French for Very efficient Work
about six weeks ago? The last I heard of
her she was talking of returning home, as
her mother has been quite 111.,, Mr,, Nor
ris, howoVer, has Improved again, and per
haps Sophie will stay over longer, ns bho
Is doing very fine work.
Talking of tho Norrlf.es, have you seen
their house on Locust street lately? My
dears, I thought I "had "em" tho other
day as I passed along, for, 1o and behold
you, part of the front of tho house was
lipped right off,' and 1 found that an auto
mobile had "just naturally" walked right
up the front wall one night and had taken
with It most of the bricks and other acces
sories to a house. They have actually had
to have a part of the fiont wall torn flown
and rebuilt. Did you over?
I wonder what these Joy riders will do
next?
rpiIK Tommy Atkins fete at Chestcrbrook
Farm, Major Cassatt's place in Berwyn,
, take place this afternoon, you know, and I
sam so glad Its clear, as there were a num

and Jt always seems a shame to have to
put a feto off a day.
Lieutenant Sutton, I understand, lias Of
fered two prizes for tho men's and women's
"putting" contest. There aro .novles of the
British war scenes, and altogether it's very

maid of honor and only attendant, and the
others who are staying with her and with
some neighbors, too, will go to the
lunchh on Fliday as well as the wed

had there been time to get them and their
dresses together.
There will bo one married friend among
them, so it's really not an absolute spin
ster luncheon, but we'll call it so anyhow.
Most of the gills are Vassal- College grad

BOTHERS re romantic' souls, aren't
they? I heard of one recently whose
sjster, who, though stll in her teens, had
a heavy lover, one year older than herself.

the way) wanted to send a note to young
lover oC seventeen. 'So she Inveigled small

SIX BIBLE PICTURES
HAVE STRIKING APPEAL
Work of Abel I'ann, Jcwisb Artisl,
Sbouii nl Alliance
Hooms
Sis of Ihe flist lllustrailons foi the great
biblical seiies planned by Abel Pann, the
Russian .lewisli artist, are hung now at the
Art Alliance. I8J3 Walnut street. In the
rental kuhi collection of his paintings and
etchings that Is on exhibition there. Tlfe
collection has been moved fiom the War
Chest headquiirteiH and will be oil view al
the alliance until June 28. "
To put forth an edition of the Bible, for
which he shall illustrate fully all th great
.stories. Is the work that Mr. Pann has set
himself, and for which he has been preparing
himself a work which will require at least
twelve years. The prospect of time does not
concern him: In spite of the fact that he has
won fame In Europe and has several pictures
hung hi the Luxemborg, the ante-chamber to
the Louvre, he Is siiI a young man. The
ciuotlon of whether he Is capable of carrying
out the work with a tonslsten't grasp and
power does not tiouble him. He says simply:
"You may think It Immodest, but I feel I '
could do Justice to tho task." N
Those who have seen the pictures on ex
hibition here must realize, in a sense at
least, tho justice of his faith In himself.
That quality In them which must be judged
outside Ihe realm of artistic skill and sensi
tiveness reveals nn Insight Into the truth and
reality of life that could come only from
inspiration. '
It Is not that Abel Pann has not seen and
felt what he has painted. A brief glimpse
Into the story of his life shows that he has
faced the suffering and ths horrors that seem
to be the herltugo of all great men and of
the exiled Russian Jew; but the simplicity
with wh'eh he has dramatized the unspeak
able tragedies Is the simplicity of the genius
that sees with the keener sight and expresses
In 11 universal languagt.
The pictures. cannot be dcscilbed; It would
be only a chVU8(f, effort at best. They can
be seen and feit. They do jiot appeal to any
surface emotion, hut reach far down, leaving
an Impression that cannot be thrown off, a
sense of unspeakable distress and helpless
ness and kinship with nil those in the world
who suffer. Perhaps no pictures that have
been shown in America have had such power
to stir persons with silent nparal.
One lool-s at the face of the artist and at
the pictures. Yesterday he was reviewing
them, wandering about the room and pausing
from time to lime 'before some grim, dark
little sketch or before a quaint picture In
which gleamed a ray of demure humor. He
Is small and serene, with gentle blue eyes
and a brown beard. As he says, he "doesn't
talk much"; all he has to say Is easier to
say In the pictures. He l shy. or, perhaps. It
seems so, because he does not speak English
and has a hard time making 100 per cent
Americans understand him.
He was born in Russia, and his father,
who was a rabbi hi the Jewish Church, first
wanted him to follow In h's footsteps, but
when Abel -Pann had drawn a", over many
of his finest books he realized that what
would be the church's loss Nyilght be the
woild's gain.
I'ann ran away from home when ho was
twelve, raising his funds by the simple method
ot imitating his father's handwriting In a
iii.,r 1,1 a friend asking for three rubles.
Then came a long, bitter struggle to enter
an art school, aim uie ariininsat lJ,cny.
Once he spent his last thiee kopecks for a
postal card on which he wrote a pathetic
note to his father appealing for help In his
terrible despair. Then when he had posted
It he remembered that In his mental distress
he had forgotten to address It.
Finally came success. A picture was
bought by the Luxembourg ; he Is arsured of
lasting recognition. ,
But all this has been preparatory work.
He has been to Palestine. It Is the country
of the wandering, scattered Jewish race, and
to' Abel I'ann tt Is the real fatherland, Here
he has been studying, so that he can draw
the pictures of the Bible stories. Although
this great work will take many jears to
complete, small series of the pictures will
he exhibited from time to time.
