',' t y L M Sv lv "j I" f l iii r r r GOSSIP Nancy Wynne Attends the Orchestra Concert She Sees Many Familiar Faces Society Is Home Once More. A Letter From the Other Side WASN'T It thrilling yesterday afternoon at the orchestra, when Mr. Van lions elaer Introduced Mrs. Weatherly and Mrs. Weatherly In turn presented the new stage Retting or background for the T'hlladelphlu Orchestra? Jt hart been donated by the West Philadelphia Women's Committee as n. tribute to the work of the women of Philadelphia, to their untiring efforts to have and keep an orchestra, In this city. Society, with a large and capital S, vva present In its usual conservative orchestra dress, and as usual also the academy was filled from orchestra to "heaven." t was Interested to see pretty Mrs. Hammy Cheston there In the box with her mother, Mra. Joo leldy. Cornelia was looking awfully well. She ha'd on a velvet hat and a topcoat with a wonderful fur collar. Margaretta Jeanes, who joined her mother In her box during the concert, came In her motor messenger costume. She has such a dear face, and Is as earnest aa her expression. The butterflies of yextcrday are not to be found these times, are they? Mrs. Uoland Taylor entertained several guests In her box and Mrs. Van Rensselaer had five friends. I think Mrs. Randal Morgan was looking extremely smart. She Krows handsomer every year. I have al ways admired her wonderful hair, haven't ypu? 4nd Mra. Henry 8. drove looked utunnlng in her tmall hat and wonderful furs. I just can't begin to tell you all the people I saw. For you know what the orchestra 'is on Friday afternoons! It's almost lllo tho Assembly, and there's very little exaggeration In that. Every one was there! T'M AFRAID there Is little doubt of the death of Taylor Walthour. Though up to the last t heard, there had been no offi cial report from the Government of his death, but various letters have come from individuals speaking" of his brave end. I am so sorry for Sirs. Walthour and Anna Mary, his pretty little sister. And his grandmother, too; she's Mrs. Adam Everly, you know. I have seldom known a family to be as crazy about any one member as they all were about Taylor. And indeed they had a right to be. He was a perfectly splendid fellow In every way and more persons than his family will mourn his death. One cannot help hoping that there may be some mistake even yet, but I am told that even the family have ' given up hope. DID YOU know that Gladys Thomas, who sailed from Canada to do Red Cross work "over there," has arrived safely? Yes, her mother, Mrs. Edward Thomas, has 'had word of her safe arrival overseas. She's a cousin of Harry Blynn, you know, 'and has been doing very fine work for the Red Cross here, too. Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Blynn live together at 2207 De Lancey street. TON'T you love the spirit of the Ameri-'-'can soldier? I read a letter from one of our boys today that fairly made me shout with laughter. They are such "nuts." aren't they?. This particular young man had written to a girl you know and I know some time ago, and remarked among other things: "When you curtail in sugar, ration on .apple sauce, too, won't you? I like it." So she had agreed to the rationing. The answering letter read: "Thanks for ra tioning yourself on apple sauce. Now would you mind shifting to 'peach Jam and chewing gum?" Later he says, referring to a rain-proof tobacco pouch she, had given him: "Here are some of the eleven French words I know: Le tabac des autres etalt humid, mais le tabac dans ma pouchc etalt sec, et on le fume beaucoup. Jc vous rcmercle. Oul.' Comprts? Finl!!!" He must have had some size pouch to have had enough for "the fellers in his crowd," don't you think? But the most beautiful part comes later, when he says: "Tell everybody I know to write me a letter and Inclose two or three pieces of chewing gum, laid flat. I don't care a rap about their letters, but want the 'chewing gum. It will not be cen sored." Another paragraph In the letter says: "Perhaps you've read I know you have about the big drive we made. We pushed the Germans bark about eight kilometers, and I personally -ok the following pris oners: 1 german blanket, 1 german com-, blnatlon kettle and frying pan and I ger man novel. I captured a german shelter tent, too, but released it on parole in charge of a. signal corps. Some of the battalion Intelligence men captured a ger man dugout kitchen and I helped execute the prisoners, which consisted of a barrel of sauer kraut, many loaves of bread, hardtack, raw cabbage, corned beef, etc. We showed no mercy to tho enemy, but surrounded It entirely. We extermi nated it. Our trench molara were very effective, because we used the nutcracker method of strategy," Now did you ever hear a better spirit? Those boya are certainly great! And It' does aeem as If we would have them back Voma again before very 'long, doea'lt not? . nvin II ll uiKe it year vu get wieiii uacK, 'l wa'll tttiAw thAv am rnmlnfr nnrl hofr bKrkr V tin mnra Ullllnf i NANCY WYNMI1 Social Activities iV-Mlia Mary Hare and, Miss Elisabeth Hare. of-SOI Bchoolhoune lane, Oermantown, have ' iyin ji Atfantln Hiti- whai-A fhav will snjtnrl r three week.

LUXURY TAX ON GOWNS ATTACKED BY DEALERS Exclusive Houses Tell Senate Committee It Will Only Hurt Them Women's tailors and millinery firms which cater to the most exclusive and high class trade In this city are protesting the provision In tho pending revenue hill which proposes tho Imposition of a 20 per cent luxury tax upon certain grades of their products. Among the 'organizations whose represen tatives expect to have a hearing before the" Senate Finance Commltto In opposition to this section of the bill at an early date lire the American Importers' Fashion Associa tion, the Eastern Millinery Ahsoclntlon, the Millinery Chamber of Commerce, the National Garment Retailers' Association, the Merchant Society Ladles' Tailors and the Ladles' Tail ores' Protective Association. Several of the associations have addressed to the Senate Finance Committee a circular letter, which says:' "This association desires to protest most earnestly agalnRt the so-called luxury tax of 20 per cent on women's and misses' suits, coaks and coats retailing at over 'f 50 pro vided for by section 905 of the eight billion revenue bill, now In the hands of your com mittee. Few Hell Below 8.10 "The membership Is comprised of dealers handling the highest class and best made women's and misses' clothing, practically none of their garments selling as low n 50, so that substantially eery garment will be subject to the tax. Their clientele is com posed of those people who have learned by experience that it Is economy nnd not ex travagance to buy the best material and best workmanship; that one well madi garment of good cloth will outwear bcveral garments made of cheap materials, thereby also saving labor and machinery at the wool and silk mills. "We are mindful of the exigencies neces sitating the raising of funds for the Govern ment, and wo realize that all buslnexs must haar Itu al,m (.,,, ...a Iiia.. ,i.i ., . will defeat its very purpose. As a result of the constantly climbing cost of woolens, silks and kindred materials and the ever-increasing demands of labor the necesrary selling price of this class of merchandise has already become largely- prohibitive. The further tre mendous Increase In price made necessary by the proposed tax will make It more so, and the label 'luxury' will constitute the ilnlshlng touch in making the prohibition complete. Tan (ialn Nothing "If wo felt that this tax, though possibly spelling ruin for our business, meant gain to tho Government', we might feel that protest on our pnrt were unwarranted, for we realize that Individual interests must be abrogated to the general interests. But wo firmly believe that tbf Government, Instead of gaining, will heavily lose, "Heretofore we have bt-ui able and glad to pay very substantial income and excess profits taxes. It is our best judgment that this tax will be sq disastrous to us that any revenue collected through it will be much more than counterbalanced by a falling off in these other taxes. For this reason we feel that we are serving the Government, as well as ourselves, In entering our most em phatic protest against its adoption."

Converse, ORCHESTRA OPENS SEASON BRILLIANTLY Enormous Crowd Hears a Good Concert, With the Tragedian, Carlo Liten, as "Soloist" The Philadelphia Orchestra opened Its sea son at the Academy of Music yesterday after noon before an audience that filled the build ing to overflowing. Mr Slnkowskl and the members of the orchestra were received with much enthusiasm, and .showed their apprecia tion by giving a splendid concert. The three weeks' rehearsal which the orchestra has had without being able to give their concerts on account of the epidemic of Influenza had a marked effect upon the playing, and tho balance and tone control was better by far than It usually Is at the first concert of the reason. Tim program, after the ".Star .Spangled Banner," began with the Prelude and Angel's Farewell from Klgar's "Dream of GemntiuK" The work, which Is relatively unfamiliar here, as revealed In the numbers performed, Is In teresting rather than of surp-vsslng tonal or melodic beauty, but carries out accurately the (heme of the poem and Is scored with a keen sense of orchestral values. The-"soIolst," If he may properly be (ailed puch, was the Belgian tragedian. Carlo Liten, who recited two pcema of C.immaert'n to an orchestrnl setting by Kgar. He re cited In French, but so dramatically that oven those unfamiliar with the language were able to grasp easily the emotions set forth In the verses. The stage prence of Monsieur Liten Ih, of course, admirable, and he llter nlly noted tho stanzas instead of merely re citing them. The musical settings are Minn. what unusual In the fact that much of the verses are given without musical accompani ment. There is little attempt nt thematic development, the music consisting principally of the repetition of the theme with varying nrchc-Htial color. In the firht poem a Caril lon, "Sing, Belgians, Sing," there Is a clever though legitimate orchestral Imitation of hells and an artistic discretion In not over doing the effect is shown. Tho second, "The Belgian Flag," was decidedly martial both In words nnd muwlc and clearly portrayed the heroism Belgium has shown in the last four years. Monsieur Liten wa.s recalled many times nt the cose ol the number. The chief number of the program was the Fourth Symphony (In F minor) by Techul kowsky. This Is the symphony In nhlcli Tschalknwsky first took his rightful position as a symphonic composer and harmonically, melodically and In orchestral treatment It clear!) forecasts the fifth and the sixth, the other feat members of thlt- trilogy of sor row. Perhaps not so piofound us the fifth and lacking some of the intense emotionalism (not to say morbidity) of the sixth. It still lias In it the germ of both of the others. The themes are In stronger contrast to each other, and there is often more tnun u sug gestion of brightness, especially In the finale, Mr, Stokowskl Is at his best In Tschalkow sky, and tho orchestra responded claMlcally to, his Interpretation, The Scherzo, with the long pizzicato passages for the btrings and the lovely trio for tho reeds, wus especially well played as well received. When the audience assembled the stage curtain was down. Before It wus raised Mrs. L. Howard Weatherly, president of the West Philadelphia women's committee, accom panied by Mr, Alexander Van Rensselaer, president of the orchestra, came on the stage. The curtain then rose, showing a beautiful new stage setting, the gift to the orchestra of the West Philadelphia women's committee. Mr, Stokowakl then joined them and was greeted with generous applause. Mrs, Weatherly presented the setting to the orchestra and It was accepted by Mr. Van Rensselaer. Mr, Stokowskl then ltd the "Star Spangled Banner," after which he received a tremendous ovation and Jlie concert season was thus launched, The new setting Is in excellent taste and grtatly Improves the ap pearance of the stage. Another interesting feature of the decora tions was the first appeurance of the service flag of the orchestra, which hung at the right of the stage. It has eight stars.' each representing a member of the orchestra who la now at the front or in some branch of war work.

CHAPTER VI Hopeful I team Fight Uraiely Silt RICADV SMILF.R slipped the cheeiful letter Into the sack of tho soldier mall carrier so thnt he quickly found It. "Here's that letter." he shouted, throwing It to Ben and Bill. Peggy had to rmother a giggle, for this hlg pink letter was decidedly different from the blue one that had been thrown away, "Hurrah '" rheiuted lien, npenlng It "I'll read It, Bill, while yen keep guard." So he lend It out loud, nnd at every line he and Bill grew happier, more hopeful, more confi dent, Inoie filled with ei st and Vigor. And from rvciy lino rnmo forth new Rom- Peps each nim;d to do bitllc against the Blue Iinrs "We've r.ot to gel rendj for tho Huns " warned Mill. "Tiie.v may comnat any minute now.

Ben, who was still reading the letter, now gave a shout. "Here's a message for j mi, Boh Mother fays things are going fine at home, your "Let 'cm come anil kill me!" groaned Roll father has big crops and every one is well. Of course jour mother gets lonesome for ye.u as all soldiers' mothcis do, but most of the time she Is brave, cheerful, and m'ghty proud of you." "Say, that's good." declared Bob. listening eagerly. "Mother Isn't a quitter. She Just had a dose of tho blues when she wrote to me." "That's It. and don't jou bo a quitter either. You want to keep her proud of jou by being jour own brave self." "Sure, I do," said Bob, sitting up so quickly that the fetters of tin- Blue Imps burst asupder. At the same tlmo the Rosy Peps rising fr m Mrs Dalton's letter went nfter the Illuo Imps without mercy, punctur ing them right nnd left. "Pi'Ji, pop, pop," ex ploded the Imps until there wasn't one of them left, Bob hadn't recovered any too soon, for Just as the last Blue Imp exploded, Bill let out a jell. "Hero they cornel" he shouted. Over the tci of ho trench raine ruhinc figures, brutal and munlerous, thrusting men acing bayonets nt the Americans. But the three soldUr boys were ready for them. As the Huns leaped Into the trench they were met with cold steel bickcd by American grit and cnurnsre. In an Instant the place wan a confused mass of fighting men. On top of this mass came piling more and moro Germans, until the Yankees seemed hopelessly outnumbered Men reeled this way and that, until finally only threo of the flchteis remilned standing. These weie thrusting, parrying, and tlirnM Ing again with deadly vim nnd vigor. The threo were Hen. Bill and Bob. Yells of victory aroe from the trenches, but they were good American jells. The Germans who were left em their feet, lalsed Iholr hands In surrender. "Kamerad I" thev chorused. The attnek had failed. Rverj' German In It had been wounded, killed cr captured. "Glor.v, bojs, I'm proud of j-ou." cried Mrs. Dalton. stretching out her arms toward her hero sons. In her excitement she had forgotten the warning of Sir Rendv Pmller. Instantly the trench vanished, and there the.v were back In the Dalt. u home. "I'll nvcr write another blue letter." de clared Mrs. Dalton. "I'm cured. From this day forth I'll be a true American mother and write letters thnt will keep my bo.s stiong. chlvnlrous and courageous." These vvoids weio still echoing in Peggy's ears when she found herself again In her chair at home. The Giant was gene and so wero the Rosy Peps. But the glow of cheer ful enthusiasm was still In her heart. "And I'll be a tiue American girl," she aald.
