Nancy Wynne Talks of the Treat
Junior Music Club Miss Anne Ashton to Play the
Harp OtheY Bits of Interest
the other tiny about the
- Junior Jtuslc Club of the Mnln Line,
which Is to meet In town this month. The
concert 111 he given nt the homo ot Dr.
Illcharil NorrK which li on North Twen
tieth street Just ncrois from the l'reston
Retreat, ot rhlch he Is head. I.oulso nnd
Virginia Xorrls nre membeia ot the iluh
and play the piano extremely well.
Kvery time I read one ot the jioframs
ot these concerts I marvel nt the knowl
edge and skill of these children who aro
Browing tip among us, for they rrm play.
As a, musician said to me recently, "Phila
delphia makes little- talk about her music,
there Is ery little furore nbout It nt home
or In other cities, but the Philadelphia au
dience knows music and It knows when It
good and when It Is not." And t hae
been thinking this over nnd realizing the
(ttruth of It: and I think It Isibecauso so
many of us staVt music almost from me
cradle up nnd are not taken up with rag
time Jigs, but bo In for real music. Wit
ness the Junior club's program and the
variety of instruments upon which the
coming generation Is gaining slilll.
The concert on Saturday will be held at
3:15 o'clock, nnd It li an Invitation affair,
of course. There will be a foreword by
Carroll Spencer, and then Brahma's "Hun
garian Dance" wilt be plaxeel by Poiothy
Hodge. Helen Chance nnd JIIss CJraf. on
the violin, cello and piano.
Helen Mlchcll will play Hnsselman'H
"Serenade" on tho harp, and s.ho nnd her
sister, Klorence Mlthell, will give two se
lections from Oileg In n harp and violin
duet.
Anne Ashton will also play on the harp
Chopin's "Prelude In C Minor." Can jou
plcturo r.n thing more entrancing than
Anne, with her lovely face, exquisite color
ing and soft hair, plajlng a great golden
haip and, what Is more, p!alng It ex
tremely well? She Is tho daughter of the
Tom Ashtons, sou know, and is quite a
little horsewoman as well as musician.
The Norris girls are going to play a
Schumann duet and Alice Benedict will
play one of Chopin's nocturnes. Besides
this there will be piano holos by Ulalne
Suplee. Sarah Barrlnger, Anna Pratt and
Eleanor Clark. Alice Benedict and Muriel
and Dorothy Hodge will play a trio with
two violins and the piano, und Dorothy
Hodge will give a violin Pok.
Strange to ear, there Is not a. boy on
this program, und heretofore two or three
boys have pkiyojl at the concerts; but I
suppose this time It was xottel to have a -we",,
you couldn't say "hen" party and sou
teflnly would not want to s.ay "chicken,"

.ti.nn ivrn for her'.' She Is. ne erthe-

Saturday given by her "mother, Mis. Wll-
Coleman Freeman, at tlieir town
house. 231 South Twents -fccconu streei. i
wonder how the children nppjeclatcil that
,uni.n. rnnm nf the rrccmans. Its a
work of nrt! The floor Is cement and has
n wonderful Inlaid border effect of blue
tiles, and tho stone flreplaco has an inlaid
tiled border, too. The celling Is dead white
with black oak rafters, and tho walls are
also white with black oak walnhcotlng.
All tho furniture is of black oak, but
best of all theic Is a wide Insldo window sill
which faces on Twenty-second street nnd
which runs the length ot eight square
paned windows. It Is made of cement and
blue, green and brown tiles, and is usually
covered with growing plants. I can tell
you it makes that room nttraUive! The
house was built by the Georgo Norriscs,
who are now llx lug In Washington. I have
not heard if It Is still their property or If
the Precmans have bought It. The Krce
mans hao lived In it ever since the Nor
rises went to Washington about four jears
go.
DID you hear the result of the Bryn
Mawr war relief horse show? T mean
the proceeds, of course. Dr. Thomas O.
Ashton, who was treasurer, has turned
over $13,000 to Mrs. Edward Browning,
who Is treasurer ot the Brltlsh-Amcrlcan
war relief fund. Mis. Uobcrt K. Straw
bridge, who was executive chairman of
the Horse Show, reports that u000 has
been given to tho Bryn Mawr Hospital and
$10,000 to the British-American war relief
fund, part of this being used to endow a
bed In a British naval hospital. So you
tee It was quite worth while your going
out there nnd eating those delicious w allies,
and watching Constance Vauclnin walk off
with blue ribbons, and feeling very West-ward-holsh
nbout the rough riders fiom
Camp Dlx. That show was really consid
ered one of the best, and of course a gie.it
deal of the success Is due to the efforts
of the committee, which Included Mrs.
Straxv bridge. Mis. Charles A. Munn, Mrs.
Archibald Barklle and Mrs. Edwaid Brown
ing. Mrs. Barklle will alwass be associated
with cafeterias In my mind, because Mie
has had charge of eo many of them, and
they are always eo successful when she
conducts them. NANCY WYNNE.

inltted Banker Complains
7o the Kilitor r Hie Kicning Public l.tilper:
Sir A recint decision was rendered by one
of the coutts In Philadelphia awarding heavy
damages to h depositor In one of the trust
companies. He claimed that the bank le-
fused to pay his cheek for n small amount
upon presentation, although he had funds In
tho bank nt the time.
It. seems lamentable that damages against
a bank should lie o easily obtained when
the, bank Itself max not haxe been at fault,
and the Ucpositois appear lo assume the
position that the bank Is alwass xxrong. nnd
although n full explanation may be offered
n depositor is not xxllllng to accept It.
The banks of Philadelphia, ns all bank
In this country, are cndeaxorlng to scrxe the
public, and although they arc not Infallible,
Ihes- make few mistakes, and It does seem
that their patrons should be willing to accept
a reasonable explanation when errors do
occur.
It must be well known to tho public that
when this country entered the great vvnr
the banks showed their patriotism by offer
ing their services to the government, nnd nt
their own expense endeavored lo distribute
Liberty Loans, besides rendering overs' as
sistance possible In governmentflnanclng. set
when a depositor has a grievance ngalnst a
bank, although it may be onlv a trivial one,
ho seems to have no hesltnncs In rushing
Into court and demanding damages for
Injury to his credit without having to estab
lish the fact that his credit was Injured
Would It not be well for the Judges and
Juries of our courts to give Just considera
tion to the banks when these eases appear
before them?" A BANKER.

Ke stone State Too Slow
7'o the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir Pennsslxanln's claim to national lead-ershlp-scenis
to haxe been painfully upset by
the fact that thirty-sit States amended tho
American Constitution xxlthout ex en consult
ing this grand old Commonwealth. Nor doe
Senator Sprout's assurance that our Legis
lature will pass the "drs" measure easily
hi Ing with it much comfort. It suggests,
rather, Henry IV's greeting to one of tho
bravest warriors In his nrmy after that
French King had won a. notable victors- In
138D: "You may well hang sourself, bravo
C'rlllon, for we fought at Arques and sou

The moral is that white rlbboners aro not

This Commonwealth now has a fresh op

obsetver can boo that this will be our next
constitutional amendment. And when this
amendment has been ratified It will he an

For example, a man made application for

tho last group of those who wrote for the
viols, which were, superseded by the x lolln.
viola, cello and bass which wo know in the
eighteenth eenturs. Tho works were all
formal In stsle. with strict contrapuntal
writing, but arc well adapted to the capabili
ties and tone riualitles of the. viols. Thev
were especially Interesting In showing the
struggles which the composers of that das
were making toward what Unsdn, a few

BLOW DEALT ROMANCE
IN UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
Co-eds and Men Ordered to Study
Hooks Instead of Each
Other -?,
A library, according to Webster, Is "An
npartinent or a series of npnrtments or a
building devoted to a collection of books."
College authorities nnd a small majority
of college students will tell sou that ti library
Is n place to studv
The ret rbut thereby hang a tale
The library nf the Fnlxirsltv of Pennsxl
xatila, at Thins -fourth street and Woodland
axenue. U noted for Its fine collection of
book It lias, incidentally, nil the npart
nients mentioned by Mr Webster They ars
cors. secluded nnd filled with books. Cen
ernlly they nre also filled with co-eds nnd
men sludents. In the past the bonks hnxn
been generally negbcted bs the two last
named, who found ample material for study
In each otner
A mere flirtation hall? U.v no mean, but
Just a conxenlent plnco to talk about the.
xv either nnd tho chances of the team and
tho noxvest show. And, nfter nil, there had
10 no some place for such conversations, if
the feminine vnrletx did insist on Inxadlng
the colic glate hall
Next to the Information bureau In Brond
Street Station the I nlxersliy I.lbrars ha
become the most noted meeting place In the
cits-.
Bomanees nnd tragedies nnd comedies and
farces haxe been enncteel oxer musty volumes)
of Ben Jonson and Shakespeare In alcoxes
and corners The ai-cniupanslng conxcratlon
necessary to these romances lias sometimes
displeased teachers and super-lndiistrlou
students, but when virtually the whole
lllirar.v i engaged it Is Impossible to take
offense
And then, reecith a death blow- was dealt
Ibis delightful custom when ceitnln ofile eri
In the eo-ed bod.v forbade nil girls, resource
ful seniors nnd skittish fnshinen alike, from
' conversing with joung gentlemen anj where
in tho libra rs.
It was n catasliopbe, n veiltahle Water
loo, and neither section of the student body
bus as et lecovered For the first time ill
many months book hive been read and
actually studltd In the llbrars. A layer ot
dust of three sears' collection has been
shaken from ponderous tomee of learning.
Tho exact means of enforcing tho edict has;
not been nnnounced. und to a rasu.ll obserxer
there are a few infractions nf the neve rule.
But the. old d.ijs aro past, and probnbls"
nexer will return.
Once inoie the I'nlverslts l.ibr.us' 1 a.
place to stud or, to bo more evnet, "An
HP.iitmetit or "cries of np.irtiuonls or a build
