The Tlays and Mayers certainly have talented persons In their membership. It makes things so dandy when you have people about who can always entertain at a moment's notice. There's Elizabeth Latta, for Instance. At clubnlght last month she was In the audience, and be tween the giving of the two plays somo one ashed her to sing, and she sang tho "Star Spangled Banner" and a lovely llttlo Italian thing In the simplest, most charm ing way. Her voice Is so fresh and sweet, I Just love to hear her. You remember when she made her debut at one of the Blddle concerts, I wonder If Tony Blddle will get up K concert for his Bible classes .now that the war Is over? Those concerts were among the Joys of tho winter! The Introductions of tho singers nnd tho presentations of bouquets and nil the rest of It made nn evening very feWwould wnnt to miss. And the singing was nearly always good. WERE you not shocked to hear of Edith Oracey Adams's death on Tuesday In New York? Do you remember how at tractive she was when she used to come on here to visit several years ago? I re member she stayed with the Lussons out -In Ardmorc. (It was tho year Luclle came out. and Edith was quite a friend of lb hers.) She was the daughter of Archibald Gracey and was as pretty and attractlv e P. as could be. She was married Just nboul ',, year ago In Washington to Dunbar B. If Adams, and she had been living at the E Savoy In New York since men. About a week ago she contracted Influenza and, S.wlth tho fateful pneumonia setting In, sho Sidled on New Year's Eve. imHE younger set In Chestnut Hill are PlJL going to havo quite nn exciting time tonight.

TrHEN you're married and have two per- P T fentlv beautiful daughters, one aged two nnd t'other about three months old, find you haven't danced for about threo 'years, you are npt to feel like an old man when you go to one or tnese moacrn ; dances. "Daddy" Isn't a day over twenty- ! six, but he has all the above-mentioned -symptoms, and he felt old and haggard on New Year's Day after trying to do a 1 fox trot while surrounded by about eight thousand people all doing the same thing. "Oh, It was awful!" he said afterward. i'The music wasn't very good and the floor was Jammed, and Just as you'd get a clear place to step on along comes ono of these 'Infants that don't care what they bump Into as long as It doesn't stop them I couldn't get along at nil." Five minutes later In bieezed jounger brother, aged seventeen. "Oh, you missed a wonderful party," he told his mother. "Why, Gee! They had two banjos and a saxaphone and all the other stuff, and they could play music; and tho floor was great; and oh, boy, there were some good dancers there!" Point of view makes an awful lot of difference "In this man's country'." as they say In the army, doesn't It? NANCY WYNNE. Social Activities .Dr. and Mrs. Thomas S. Rojster, of St. Croix, V.

I aged and crippled people plodding UP the stairway and my heart goes out In pity to them. Surely the convenience of the publlo Is not taken Into consideration. And here nre more truths: Kvery evenlnd I take the subway car nt Thirteenth street station to go out Lancaster nvenue. It usual- lytakes from twenty to twcnty.flve minutes to reach Thirty-second and Mnrket streets, and at lenst fifteen to tvventy.five stops are made They start, run ten or twenty feet, slop and so on until they reach Lancaster nvenue If they would run as they should, some nf those stops could be utilized else where nnd bring the working nnd business man home fifteen to twenty minutes earlier, which means a lot to a hungry man. W. It. Pralfe for the Ledger To thr Hilltor of thr Evening Put-Mr- I.tigert Sir Allow we to submit these few words of prnlso nnd encouragement for the splendid fight jou are making against the Infamous skip-stop Your pape- Is a real city's cham pion Don't give up the fight I If the P. H. T. gets nway with It, tnen Philadelphia will be nshamed to look Uncle Sam In the face. If the P It. T threatens that, In case the skip-stop Is abolished, fares will go up, then the people of Philadelphia should be Ahown just how much profit that company makes on a live-cent fare, and If the company can not get along (due to Its high rentals, "water," etc), then the city should take It over and run It Itself. A. H. M. Miif-piiiR and Slugging To the Editor of the Evening Public J.edgert Sir A recent Issue of your valuable paper contained nn Item to the effect that a bill to prohibit "mugging" of police prisoners nrrested on trivial, charges nnd not previously convicted will be Introduced In the next Legislature by Representative William J. IJrndy, of the Fifteenth "Ward. Mugging"' Is the police word for photographing a pris oner for the rogues' galle-rv. This leads m? to sugge-st that Represen tative Ilrady, eir some other Representative, present a bill to prohibit "slugging" of police prisoners on trivial charges A Hoy Scout Informed the writer that h witnessed a brutal net. A policeman had nrrested a negro who bad Imbibed too freely. The youth declares that the policeman struck the negro a vicious blow on the head with his club, the re-sounding thud of tho whack at tracting Jhe attention of passcrsby, one of whom had the audacity to inquire of tho blueeont If he had broken his stick." It la alleged that the negro was offering no resistance, although it Is admitted that h was somewhat noisy. This Incident recalls that the late Major David M. Johnson, of Chester, In addressing the nssembled police men shortlv after his Induction Into ofllca. Impressed upon their minds that their revolv ers and clubs were only to bo used In self defense. Evidently some of Chester's "finest" make use of their weapons of defense In an unwarranted manner. EDC-AR D. MELVILLE. Chester. Pa., January L'. PHILADELPHIA'S I.EADlXtt THEATRES Direction LEE.. J.
