I WAS so sorry to hear of Marlon Mulford
Kimball's death in Washington the
other day. Sho was always such a bright
girl, so full of life and so busy. You know
for the last year she has been working
every day nt the canteen at Mrs. George
W. Chllds Drexel's house at Eighteenth and
Locust streets. Sho volunteered her serv
ices, and she certainly gavo them with her
whole heart, starting out s.me davs at 6
or 6 o'clock In tho morning to meet troop
trains going through tho city, and working
all day until 5 or 6 at night.
Do you remember her wedding? It was
ery unexpected. Last spring her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. H. K. Mulford, of Wavne,
Issued invitations for a dinner danco in
honor of their son, II. K. Mulford. Jr.. who
had Just como back from Trance. When
the guests arrived, they found Marion in
her wedding gown, and instead of a donco
thero was a wedding. Nobody had even
known that sho was engajed. Lieutenant
Colonel Kimball was pent to France soon
after on a special mission and returned
Just beforo Christmas. He expects to bo
sent back at any minute. Marlon's death
came after an operation following influenza.

'Sit When I looked jou In the face on
January It, when jou sentenced me to five
da s In the AVashlngton jail, I wondered how
r servant of the law could find It compati
ble with his conscience to send American
women to prison for asking for freedom
"After I entered the Jail I marveled that
jou could sentence any human being to that
pesthole
"I am one or the hoard or managers or one
of tho Urgent reformatories In the East,
and my work with that Institution has given
me knowledge of how a prison should be
managed.
ro vou Know that the women's division
of the jail is a hotbed for mental, moial and

'Do jou know that tho nlr is foul" that
the pilton is fllthj '! that the Inmates are
never taken out for excrUse? that nt night
tlje wIioIk place Is alive with rats? that the
wnnuu nnd girls too, are allowed to smoke
ilgars and cigarettes,' that the bedbugs aro
only eriunled by the "cockroaches, spiders and
boilv lice?
'These evils are serious enough, but the
worst feature Is the utter lack of any edu
cational work or training of any kind to fit
the Inmates for their return to life in tho
outside world In fact, the effect Is quite
opposite Those who enter that Jail, no mat-
let wmu tneir crimp, must ie;ne it wan a
lowered standard of health and morals.
'I thank jou, however, for the sentence

Of course, he did not remain In "the land

to borrow a million from the banking house
of Morgan for his friend, tho King ot Spain,

U is ever so. The romanticist should
always be a writer of fiction; he should not
essay living his fiction. One touch of
romance may put a good-looking jouth in a
palace, but an extra touch of it Is sure to

Plea for Single Tax
To the Editor of the Exening Public Ledger
Sir It should be evident to any one who
considers the present world unrest, and who
anxiously contemplates the settlement of In
dustrlal problems, that a return to pre-war
economic conditions Is out of the question
We must be ptepared for many, pet haps
radical, changes in thought, law and cus
torn The successful termination of a war
fought for the perpetuation of democratic
Ideals In governmental iinairs -cannot nut
help to Incline the public mind toward apph
ing these same Ideals to the communllj and
home life of the Individual.
But vi hen the ask the question, what ran
we answer What answer have we pre.
pared? What leading political partv (to
whom the public is accustomed to refer Its
troubles) has an thing In Its platform or
program sufficiently fundamental, to give
hope of a satisfactory bolutlon?
A new vision and u new desire will prob
ably manifest Itself Questions of common
rights and the good or evil tendencies of
government will be discussed by them and
may lead to the rediscovery and rehablllta
lion of that grand old document the Decla
tarion of Independence Thev will look It
over carefully and they will find these
words. "All men are endowed by their Cre-
ntor with certain maiienanie rignis. amonis
which are life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness "
They will be surprised to find that we
have long reverenced this as'belng the foun
dation bedrock on which our liberties have
been built, but this w-lll not satisfy them
They will look to find what law or system
have we established lo proio lhat t Is more
than empty profession, and they will find
to our evirlatliig disgrace and proof of our
hj'pocrlsy private ownership of Oie natural
resources recognized by law nnd custom.
The Single Tax party dunands that this
hlofon our civilization," this scheme for
the wholesale breeding of povcrt-, shall be
abolished along with all fines and penalties

FORREST LAST wjK0NE
Proad and fcnnsom "
UIO MATIN KK SVTI'IIOAI
I
The marvelous appeal of the human voice
through the emotions nnd the box-office alike,
was Illustrated Inst evening by Mme Amelltn
Oalll-Curcl, who gave a song recital lo a
capacity audience at the Metropolitan Opera
House Not only was rery seat In the huge
building occupied, but there were about BOO
perrons seated on the stage, and nlmost an
equal number stood behind the rail baek ot
the orchestra clnle
While It was tho second appearance In this
city of tho widely heralded coloratura
turiosltv regarding both her art and her
unique personalltv wemed to reach as great
a height an It did last jear prior to her
Philadelphia debut The dispute, which his
raged In certain large music centers other
than Philadelphia, regarding her proper po
sition hi the world of song, naturally aug
mented this curloslt)
Mme Oalll-Curcl murt unquestionably be
regarded as one of the leading coloratura
slngern of the present da Her volume of
tone Is not so large nor Is the voico so bril
liant as tint of Mnrcella Sembrieh. but In
flexibility, range, and especially In the uni
formity of color In nil registers, 11 will com
pare favorably with any voico wlthhi the
meiuorv of present-day toneertgoers Her
voice especially has not.that tjiin. hard qual
ity known among slnge'rs as a "white" tone,
In the middle register, but maintains there
the same agreeable clnracter of the upper
tones, which, it must be confessed is some.
whnt unusuil In cltar coloratura singers
Tho tone nfter all the chief assft nf n
singer. Is warm nnd full of color, except In
tho highest notes, where It Is clear, but never
shrill
Her method of singing Is of the same high
character arf her naturnl voice. She has
wonderful control both of tone and of breath,
a fine enunclitlon In three languages, with
a perfect attack and release ot notes, a
crescendo and a diminuendo that bring the
voice to its legitimate natural limits In both
directions without forcing it in the loud
tones or losing color in the soft ones Her
"skins. nn Irnuortiint feature or coloratura
work, were taken easily and with astonish
ing accuracy, without wavering or "feeling"
for the tone The nne fault she showed lnet
evening in her ocallzntlon was nti occasional
nolo sllghtlv flat and thl, strange to sa,
dirt not occur in long skips or awkward in
tervals, but In perfectly natural Intervals
such aw the fifth or the third and ome at
the close of n perfect cadence
The program selected bv Mme Oalll-Curcl
was a varied one and contained two numbers
of the kind generally known as "stunts," the
famoUH 'Carnival of Venice," of Benedict,
frequently used In the "Lesson Scene" in the
opera 'The Barber of Seville." nnd the
equally well-known Mad Scene from "Ham
let," by Ambrolse Thomaii In these two
selections Mme Oalll-Curcl m-miaeq hu uf
technical resources known to the singer and
mastered their enormous dllllcultler with ap
parent ease. The vocal range required In
these songs Is very large, being from the I.
flat above high C down approximately to
middle C The extremn high note was
beautifully taken, held. Increased and then
diminished In tone before the voice glided
smonlhlv to the closing chord The stacoa o
runs, tho trills, the arpeggios, which go to
make up the difficulties of these numbers,
were all equally well done.
The rest of the program was ot a less
ambitious character technically It opened
with "Care Selve," of Haendel, In which the
hololst appeared somewhat self-conscious,
in, n repliant Inaccuracy of Intonation In
places This disappeared In the-eccmd num
ber of the gToup. an old Hngllsh song, "I ve
Been P.oamlng." which was gracefully and
delicately sung Then came tne an i
The second of the series of subscription
concerts bv the New York Symphony Or- J
chestra delighted a very large audience at

program, compelling features of which
were the variety and scope of tho orches

joung pianist, Mlscha Levitzki, who made
his first appearance before n Philadelphia
audience Novelty was lent lo the event by
the plavlnE of Wacsier numbers, released
singer, ! fro,n the ban under which they have lain
with American audiences for the laBt year
and a half
Their reappearance in last night's program
had an undeniable welcome Judged by th
applause with which tho prelude to "Lohen
grin ' tho "Diticc of the Apprentices," from,
the ' Melsterslnger" , the ' Rood Friday Spell,"
from "Parsifal, and ' Sounds of the Forest,"
from 'Siegfried were greeted In every
one of these numbers Director Damrosch con
ducted his efficient organization with
authority joined to keen iivmpathy wllh the
composer's meaning, and the musicians fol
lowed his unerring lend with sureness of ex
ecution and ready understanding
These Wagner numbers composed the lat
ter half of the admirably chosen program,
and the way to their enjojment was paved
by Mozart's delicious Sjmphony In O minor,
than which nothing more exquisite has been
heard within the Aradem'a walls In many
a long day, and b D'Indys "Istar," sym
phonic variations alike weird, Intricate In
conception nnd oirhestratlon nnd beautiful
In their bizarre and at times barbaric mel
odv Tho number had the charm of new
ness for the large mijorlty of those who
heard its almost unique strains
l.eiltzkl won on instantaneous and un
mistakable triumph bv his execution of th
Salnt-Saens Concerto No '1 in f! minor. It
was nothing short of a revelation Instinct
wllh dramatic verve vet possessed of a. rare
dellcacv of execution, this joung man he
apparentl is In his very earlj twenties
brought out tho mriad beauties of Salnt
Saens's composition with a perfection ot
detail, combining directness and power in at
taik with a compute appreciation of th
llntr parts of IiIh art that gave continuing
delight Whether in the andante sostenuto,
with which the concerto opens, tho second
movement, allegro scher?ando or the closing:
presto, the voting IIussIhii proved himself
a thorough master of technique as well as
tho jtospesMir of what for want of better
word ma be called nlmbleness of fingering
and, above all, the deep feeling that marks
the true artist
The contribution of the orchestra in the
execution of the fine Salnt-Saen,s work.
notably In the cadenzas, which were re-en-forted
admirably by the wood-wind, and the
delicate Instrumentation of the strings, added
delightfully to the ensemble, and rounded a
performance that was as exquisite as it was! I
wonderful LeltzM wus repeatedly called
before tho footlights by the plaudits of the
audience and warmly congratulated by Doc
