JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Nancy Wynne Tells of Anniversary Reception of Mr. and Mrs.
Beauvcau Boric at Abington Other Matters
of Interest in the Social World
DID you know that Mr. and Mrs. Beau
vcau Borlo colcbratod tholr flftfeth
wedding anniversary jesterday out at
their home In Abington by having a small
reception for the family and a fow Inti
mate friends? In fact the "Invites" were
Ztsr.l'ed to a hundred and by the tlmo ou
count up the children and grandchildren
and the sUtem and brothers and nieces and
nephews and great nieces and nephews
and cousins, Including a few very lntlmato
trlcnda llko Miss Emily Mather, jou will
l'now the party was principally famllj.
Among those who roceled wcro Mr.
Uorle'fl brother-in-law and olster Mr. and
Mrn. John T. Lewis Jr, Mr. Lewis was
groomsman at the wedding fifty years ago.
Mrs. Lewis was a bridesmaid and so was
Miss Mather. Among the members of the
family who attended the reception, were
the four sons of Mr. and Mrs. Boric,
Charlie, Beau, Adolphe and Ronshaw, and
their daughter, Emily Borlo Beals of Bos
'on. The sons' valve: and Mr. Beali too
wero present of course, and the grandchil
dren. The children of John Borle, Mr.
Hetde Norrls. Mrs. Arthur Rjcraon, Mr.
Adolpho Borlo, Jr., Miss Sophie Borle and
Mrs. Arthur Rush, and a number of tho
Rhodes family. Mr. Borlo's sister, Mrs.
James Mauran Rhodes Is living In Cali
fornia so she and Mr. Rhodes were un
able to be present but they were repre
sented by thejr daughters Mrs. Ned Hart
fchorne, Mrs. Tranklin Sharpleus, Mrs. Deas
Slnkler and Mrs. Guy Phelps Doage. Mn.
Ralph Dcrr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Lewis, was also present and Mr. and Mrs.
Georgo Mason, the latter Mr. Borlo's
younger sister.
Mrs. Borle, whd was Miss Patty N'elll,
wore a palo yollow flowered sill: gown,
which had been in her bridal trousseau
and carried an old-fashioned bouquet. She
was married from the homo of tho late
Dr. James Paul, an uncle, who lled at
Ninth and Pino streets.
Mr. Borlo Is the head of ono of the oldest
famlles in this city and has long held a
prominent posltlonas a leader in tho social
and business world of this city. Ho is the
son of tho lato Mr. Charles Louli 'Borlo
and Clementlno McKoan Borlo and a
nephew of the lato Mr. Adolpho Borle, w ho
was Secretary of tho Navy under Presi
dent Crant. His grandmother, Mrs. John
Borle, was MI33 Sophlo Beauvoau, a daugh
ter of Pierre Hyaclntho Beauvcau and
Betsy Brown Beauveau. Tho lattor es
caped from San Domingo during the insur
rection there, having to leae her lius
bind's body unburled, and with a nurse
and her flvo littlo girls camo to Philadel
phia, whero tho family has lhed cer Mncc.
I STOPPED in at tho new cl' foi boldlers
and sailors at 1317 Walnut street tho
other day. It looks awfully attractive in
there I didn't go Into tho big clubroom,
where tho; have a long table In tho center
of tho room and comfortablo chairs and
general comfort for the men, but I pecked
In and saw how it was all fixed up, and
there was a huge vaso of chrysanthemums
on the table, too. An officer was sitting
there, smoking and reading, and whllo I
was there a sailor started 11 fox trot on
the vlctrola. There's a cigaretto counter
in the hall, presided oer by a member of
tho Emergency Aid (they got tho thing
up, you know), where they sell cigarettes,
tobacco and candy at cost prlco. Thoy
had a tea there for the men on Sunday.
It's a very popular place. Did I say that
they liavo a piano in tho big room, too?
You must have guessed that, though, for
you can't havo a proper club for enlisted
men unless you have 'a piano. I saw Mrs.
Harry Blynn coming in with tome music
for them, and I rather imagine that if an
enlisted man gets reckless and expresses
a vague with for this magazine or that
piece of music or anything llko that ho
finds It waiting' for him tho next time ho
goes there.
THE St. Prancls Junior Aide., ate going
to hold 'their annual Christmas Stock
ing Sale at 1527 Chestnut street, on Mon
day and Tuesday of next week. Tho stock
ings are of generous sizo and tilled with
something warm to wear and plenty of
toys to please the children. On Friday and
Saturday of this week tho stockings will
be on exhibition at tho Hotel Walton, the
Itltz Carlton and tho Adelphla. The Aides
will take orders for Chrlstuat Stockings
to bo delivered on Christmas Ee to the
thousand children, many of whose fathers
aro still overseas. It's really flno what
these girls do every year. At least a thou
sand kiddles who would not havo a lslt
from Santa Claus are reached by tho
Junior Aides attached to St. Francis's
Homo for Convalescents.
SHE is so young that she isn locn big
enough for the joungest dancing class
that meets every Wednesday afternoon at
the club. She loves to danco, though, and
the ambition of her life is to grow old
enough to go to dancing class. Incldent
' ally sho has a brother, just six years her
senior who would give a week's allowance
to change places with her. For that reason
Mo'ther and Barbara always go to tho aft
ernoon class In order to make sure that
Brother doesn't somehow miss tho gate of
the club and turn In at the next one,
where there's always sure to bo football
practlco goh.g on. That's how Barbara
got the desire to danco, and so sho was
thrilled to pieces last week, when Mother
decided to take her to the early ovening
class, whero Sister, who Is Sa'veral years
older than Brother, goes.
She felt perfectly at home, for sho knows
th,o teachers very well, and always goes up
with the other girls and makes her curtsey
before sho comes home. So, after sitting
through several dances, she trottod up to
one of them and said Importantly. "You
know, Miss J , these boys won't .dance
with mo." She was assured that Miss
J would see what she could do about It,
, eo she didn't worry for a while. Then as
the music started up for the next danco
V arid nobody seemed to know that she was
thero, she hustled up to. Miss J, and
, Broiling confidently, sho reminded her,
"You won't forgot vrhat I told you, vvjll

"TOSCA" FINELY SUNG
BY THE METROPOLITAN
Muzio, Crimi and Scotti Score
Vocal and Histrionic Triumph
in Puccini Opera
The somber story of Tonca. with the vivid
musical netting by Puccini, was finely sung
and tensely acted at the Metropolitan Opera
HouBe last evening
Few operas, Old or new, have music which
fits the dramatic situations as accurately and
follows tho emotional content of tho story
as closely as does that of ' ToBca," and this
applies with equal foreo both to voices and
to orchestration. Added to this, which natu
rally requires tho most consistent vocal
rendition, Is tho fact that the entlro opera
demands acting of a high degree from both
principals and minor characters
These varied demands wero met most suc
cessfully by the Metropolitan Conipnnv In i's
presentation lost evening Muzio, Crlml and
Scotti naturally carried away tho honors as
tho chief chiractcrs All were In excellent
voice, and carried out tho difficult histrionic
requirements of tl-e work hi as fine stIe as
has over been seen here Muzlo's clear
soprano wan more than equal to the severe
demands of the part, and showed to especial
advantago in the exquisite passago "Non la
sosplcro" In the duet with Cavaradossi In the
flr.st act and in her Imploring appeal to
Scarpla, "Vlssl d'arto vlssi d'amore," at tho
close of tho second, although tho intense
dramatic situation at this point Is apt to dis
tract even tho attention of the singer from
tho music Itself.
Crlml showed a beautiful tenor voice ot
good range o.3 equality of tone throughout
Ho pang especially well the delightful aria,
"Recondlta Armonla," In the first act, and tho
mournful sollloquv. E lucevan le Stclle." In
the third. There wa3 a slight tendency to
force the upper tones a little in the more
intense situations, due, doubtless, to tho high
emotional tension at theso points, but
throughout the quality was excellent, and ho
sang and acted In the best of ta'tc.
Scotti ngaln revealed himself tho Incom
parable Scarpla. HI") voice was not In the
best of condition In the first act, but showed
a wonderful Improvement In tho second,
while h)s acting of the part was perfection,
aa It always Is The savage soliloquy, ' Va,
Tosca, nel tuo Cuor," at. tho close ot the first
act, was given with such dramatic effect an
t cover some lack of vocal power. This,
however, was not apparent In tho next act,
which was finely sung.
The opera throughout was acted with a
nplrit and consistency raretj equaled. Muzio
especially revealed an amazingly high con
ception of tho dramatic possibilities of the
part of Tosca, particularly In the second act.
where her work with that of Scotti reached
a very high point of stage presentation,
leaving entirely out of consideration the dif
ficult vocal parts Crlml also showed good
histrionic powers, although nothing In hli
part calls for the Intensity shown In the
ccero between Tosca and Scarpla in the
second act Mention must also be made of
the good work of Pomplllo Malatesta as the
Sacristan, a part requiring considerable judg
ment In acting In order that It bo not over
done, although not making any great vocal
demands
Tho otaglng of the opera was on the high
lavel always maintained by tho Metropdlltan,
the setting of tho final act being especially
flno and truo to life Roberto Moranzonl con
ducted tho work with care and skill, bringing
out tho numerous orchestral beauties un
erringly, and It Is Indeed doubtful If manv
operagoera realize how richly this opera Is
scored. From the three gloomy chords, tho
Scarpla motif, which take the placo of an
overture, until tho tragic close, the audience
was held In rapt attention, and tha principals
received many deserved curtain calls.

CHAPTER XVI (Continued)
WELL, the long and short of it waa that
my suggestion was carried, and we re
solved to set out for Bellavuo that very night.
My brother declared he would not return to
tho cafe; with the present ohortago of mon.
such desertions wero by no means uncom
mon, and if he wero to give notice formally
it might only lead to embarrassing explana
tions. So wo strolled back to tho city In the
gathering darkness, bought a map of the
Rhine and a couple of rucksacks and laid
In amall stock of provisions at a great
department store, biscuits, chocolates, some
hard sausage and two small flasks of rum.
Then Francis took me to a little restaurant
whcrQvha was known and Introduced me to
the friendly proprietor, a very jolly old
Khlnelander. as his brother just out of ho,
oltal. I did my country good service, I think,
by giving a most harrowing account ot tho
terrible efficiency of tho British army on
tho Somme!
Then we dlrcd and over oar meal consulted
thByuU map." I said, "Bellevue rhould bo
about fifty miles from here. My Idea is that
should walk only at night and lie up
during the daj. aa a room Is out of tho
Question for mo without any papers I think
we should keep away from the Rhine don't
you? as otherwise we shall pass through
Wesel. which Is a fortress, and. consequently,
devilish unhealthy for both of us
Francis nodded with his mouth full
"At present we can count on about twelve
hours of darkness," I continued, so, leav
ing a margin for tha slight detour we shall
mike, for rests and for losing the way, 1
think we ought to be able to reach Castle
Bellevuo on the third night from his If
the weather holds up. It won't be too bad.
but H t ralns' " wlU .V.9 hclUsh' Now'
havo you any suggestions?"
My brother acquiesced, as, lndeod, he had
in 'everything-I had proposed since we met.
Poor fellow, he had had a roughlsh time;
ho seemed glad to havo tho direction of
affairs taken out ot his hands for a bit.
At half-past seven that evening, our
packs on our backs, we ctood on the out
skirts of tho town whore the road branches
off to Crefeld. In the pocket of tho over
coat I had filched from Ilaase's I found an
automatic pistol, fully loaded (most of our
customers at tne Deer-ccuur wem uiueu.
' You ve got tne oovuiucih, A- 04.113,
said. "You'd better have this, tool" and I
passed him the gun.
Francis waved It aside.
"You keep it," he said grimly, "it may
serve ou -instead of a passport."
So I Bllpped the weapon back Into my
pocket.
A cold drop of rain fell upon my face.
"Oh, hell!" I cried, "it's beginning to
rain l"
And thus wo bet out upon our journey.
It was a nightmare tramp. The rain never
ceased. By day we lay In icy misery, chilled
to the bone In our sopping clothes, in some
flank ditch or wet undergrowth, with aah
Ing bones and blistered feet, fearing detection,
but fearing, even more, the coming of night
and the resumption of our march Yet wo
stuck to our program like Spartans, and
about eight o'clock on the third ovening, hob
bling painfully along the road that runs from
Clevea to Calcar, we wero rewarded by the
sight of a long massive building, with tur
rets at the corners, standing back from tha
highway behind a tall brick wall.
"Bellevue!" I said to Francis, with point
ing finger.
We left tha road and, climbing a wooden
palisade, struck out across the fields with tho
' Idea of ifctt'ng intp the pack from the back.
We passed some black and silent farm build
ings, went through a gate and Into a pad
dock, on the furtner Bide of which ran the
wall surrounding the place. Somewhere be
yond tha wall a Are was blazing.'' We could
see tha leaping light of the flames and drift
ing smoke. At the same moment we heard
voices, loud voices disputing In German.
We crept across the paddock to the wall.
I cava Francis a back, and ha hoisted him
self to tha top and looked over. In mo
ment he sprang 'lightly down, a Mager ! to-

THE CLUB FOOT

"There must bo troops billeted here. Come
on ve'll go further round"'
Wo ran softly along the wall to wheie it
turned to tho right and followed it roura
Preaently wc came to a small Iron gato In
the wall. It stood open.
"rto listened The sound of voU- 1 was
fulnter here We ttlll taw tic reflection of
tho flames in tho tky. Otherwise, thero waa
ro sign 01 sound of human life.
The gato led into an ornamental girden
with the castle at tho further end. All the
windows were In darkness Wo threaded a
garden path leading to the l.oute It brought
us In front of a glats door. I turned the
handle, and It jlcldtd to my grasp
I whispered to Francis,-
' Stay where jou are ! And if ; ou hear :ro
bhout, fly for jour life I '
For, I reflected, the placo might be full of
troops It thero were any risk It would be
better for me to take It, since Francis, with
his Identity papers, had a better chance than
I of bringing the document into safety.
I opened the glass door and found 1113 eelf
In a lobby with a door on tho right.
I listened again. All was still. I cau
tiously opened tho door and looked In As I
did so the place was suddenly flooded with
light and a voice a voice I had often heard
In my dreams called out Imperiously:
"Stay whero you are and put your hands
above jour head!"
Clubfoot stood there, a pistol in h's great
hand pointed at me
"Grundf" I shouted, but I did rot move.
Vid Clubfoot laughed.
CHAPTER XVII
l'rancis Takes Up the A'orrafuc
I SAW the lights flash up in tho room. I
heard Desmond cry out, "Qrundt!" In
stantly I flung myself flat on my face In
the flower bed, lest Desmond's Bhout might
have alarmed tho tvldlera about tho Are
But no one came ; the gardens remained dark
and damp .and silent, and I heard no sound
from the room In which I knew my brother
to be. In the clutches of that man.
Desmond s cry pulled me together. It
seemed to arouse me from tho lethargy into
which I had sunk during all those months
of danger and disappointment. It bhook
me Into life If I was to save hi-n, not a
moment was to be lost. Clubfoot would act
twlftly, I know So muot I But first I
must find out what tho situation waa, tre
meaning ot Clubfoot's presence in Monica's
house, ot thoee soldiers in the park. And,
above all, was Monica herself at the caatla?
I had noticed a little esUmlnet placo on
tha road, about a hundred jardo before we
reached the Schloss I might, at Icam, bo
able to pick up bomethlng there According
ly, I etole across the garden, scaled the wall
again and reachod the road in safety.
The estaralnet was full of people, brutish
looking peasants swilling neat splrltb, cat
the drovers and the like. I btood up at the
bar and ordered a double noggin of Kern,
a raw spirit made in these parts from pota
toes, very potent but at least pure. A man
In corduroys and leggings was drinking at
the bar, a bluff sort of chap, who readily
entered Into conversation. A casual ques
tion of mine about the gamo conditions
elicited from him the Information that he
was an under-keeper at the castle It was
a busy time for them, he told me. aj four
big shoots had been arranged Tho first
was to take placo tho net day. There were
plenty of birds, and ho thought tho rrau
Qrafin'B guests ought to be tatlsfled
I asked him if there was a big party btay
Ing at the castle No, he told mo, only one
gentleman besldea the officer billeted there,
but a lot of people wero coming over for
the shoot the neit day, the officers from
Cleves and Goch, the chief magistrate fro.-n
Cloves, and a number of farmers from round
about. "I expect you v III find the soldiers billet
ed at tha Castle useful us beaters," I In
quired with a purpose.
Tho man assented grudgingly. Game
keepers aro flrBt-class grumblers But the
soldiers were not many. For his part he
could do without them altogether. They
were such terrible poachers to have about
the place, he declared. But what they
would do for beaters without them ho
didn't know they were very short of
beaters that was a fact.
"I am staying at Cleves." I said, "and I'm
out of a job. I am not long from hospital,
and they're discharged me from the army.
I wouldn't mind earning n few marks as
a beater, and I'd llko to see the sport. I
used to do a bit of shooting myself dewn
on the Ilhlne where I come from."
The man shrugged his shoulders and Bhook
his head. "That's nono of my business, get
ting the beaters together," he replied. "Be
sides, I shall have tho head gamekeeper af
ter mo if I go bringing strangers In "
I ordered another drink for both of us,
and won the man round without much diffi
culty. Ha pouched my five mark note and
announced that he would manage It
tho Frau Qrafln waa to see soma men who
had offered their services as beaters after
dinner at tha Castle that everlng. He would
take me along.
Half an hour later I stood, as one of a
group of shaggy and bedraggled rustics, In a
big stone courtyard outside the main en
trance to the Castle. Tha head game
keeper mustered us with his eye and, bid
ding us follow him, led the way under a
vaultod gateway through a massive door Into
a small lobby which had apparently been
built Into tha great hall of the Castle, tor
It opened right Into It,
We found ourselves In a, splendid old feu
dal hall, bak-IIned and oak-raftered, with
lines of duty banners Just visible In thu
tTlHfht Tel7ltT fnh upper port; of ! the
vast place. Tho modern generation had for
borno to desecrate tho flno old rfcom with
electric light, and inastrlvo fcltver candlesticks
Bhed u soft light on the tablo set at tho
far end of tho hall, where dinner, appar
ently, was Just at an end.
Three people were sitting at tho table, u
woman at tho head, who, oven before I had
taken hi the details I have just set down, I
knew to be Monica, though her back was
toward me On one side of the tablo was
a big, heavy man whom I recognized r-s
Clubfoot, on the other side n palo slip of n
lad in ofllcerB' uniform with only ono arm
Schmalz, 110 doubt.
A Bervant said something to Monica, who,
asking permission of her companions by a
gesture, left the table and came across the hall
To my surprise, she wus dressed In deepest
black with linen cufTa Her face was palo
find sot, and thero was a look of fear nnd
suffering in her ces that wrung my very
heart
I I hnrl Kh.lfVliM Info tliA liis ttfaeft of the rOV
in which tho head keeper had ranged us
Monica spoko a word or two to each of the
men, who shambled off In turn with Iot
obeisances Directly she btopped In front of
me I knew- sho had recognized me 'I felt It
rather, for she made no s'gn though tho
tlmo I had had In Germany had altered my
appearance, I dale say, and I must havo
looked pretty rough with my throe daju"
beard and muddy clothes.
"Ah ! ' tho said with all her la-iguor de
grando dame, 'jou are the man of whom
Helnrieh spoke You have just como out of
hospital, I think?"
"Beg the Frau Urafln'a pardon,' I mumbled
out in the thick patois of the Rhine which 1
had learnt at Bonn, "I served with thu Her"
Graf In Uallcla. and I though, maybe tho
Frau Orafln "
Sho stopped mo with a gcbture
"Herr Doktor!" bhe called to tho (-.meltable
By Jo- el thlo gir. had gri' , -her p uck was
splendid
Clubfoot can.c stumping over, all Binllea
after I1I3 food and bmoklng a long cigar that
sir-elt delicious
"Frau Grann?' ho queried glancing at me
"This Is a man who sorved under my hus
band In Uallcla He Is 111 and out of work,
and w Ishes m to help him I should visli,
therefore, to se him In my sitting-room, If

' But, Frau Grafln, moct certainly. Thcrs

mountain steeps surelr did form a wondei

The Rabbits, which had been going along
at a. merry pace, jingling their sleigh bells
in a jolly rhjthni tnat made Peggy think of
Christmas and Santa Claus, now began to
