Mr. and Mrs. William Montgomery Return From Washington
After Absence of More Than a Year Death of Mrs.
Woodruff Son of Colonel Groome Engaged
THE William W. Montgomerya are back I
from Washington. Tou know lie's been
there virtually since tho very first day
of the waft In tho aviation service, I think.
And Mrs. Montgomery has been with him
most of tho time. Before they came baclc
to Vlllanova they took at trip West, went
out to see Mrs. Montgomery's sister, Sarah
Brock, who Is living In the Wet now;
and then they took In tho Orand Canyon
and came back by way of the South. They
are a. present tho guest of the Robert Learn
ing Mpntgomerys until their own houso
is ready. William Montgomery is a brother
of Bob and -also of Mary Montgomery, who
married Ned llalsey last Hummtr. Mrs.
Montgomery, who was Fanny Brock, is
also a sister of Mrs. Joe Ou Barry.
By the way, I hear Joe Du Barry has a
month's lcavo and he and Ella are at tho
Wellington, where Mrs. Arthur Brock.-
Ella's mother, lias apartments also. It
Just seems too Impossible to think of Joo
with an Injured foot and unable to nance
for- the time being. But It only Is for the
time' being, I'm told. He'll be entirely
cured eventually.
Tho William Montgomery house Is at
Vlllanova and will be ready for them in
a week or so.
SUCH fun cs the school set had at the
Bellevuo on Friday night! You see,
the AVurts class was golnd on In the Xorth
Garden and the Penn Charter danco was
proceeding in the Rose Gardens, and so
the members and guests, being of the samo
bunch, would danco to one band in the
Rose Gardens and then trot ih to nnothcr
In tho Uortll Garden, and vice versa, and
have a regular time. Next week there'll
be the same thing, when Mrs. Duer's class
and the Episcopal Academy j lay and dance
take placo tho same night, I tell you, you
foel grown up when you can go to two
parties In a night, ono week after another.
I HAVE been thinking of the numorous
good works and people who benefited
by them VSgS)" bo th0 ,oser3 tnroush
the sudden .death of Mrs. Clinton Rogers
Woodruff on Friday. Sho was on of the
most active women In charity work in the
city and was moro than popular. I met
her first at the, Charlotto Cushman Club
some six yeatfsago. She was treasurer of
that club for years, and was treasurer of
the Independence Square Auxiliary of tho
American Red Cross at 608 Chestnut street
since It started two years ago. Shtf was
also a most activo member of tho Armenian
Relief Committee of the Emergency Aid,
and, through Mr. Woodruff, was greatly
interested in the Lithuanians of this city.
, I can't beglt to tell you of all the things,
t In which she took an active part, and she
. was always so bright and Jolly and en
couraging about every undertaking.
Her daughter is very much like her and
, Js one of tho prettiest of tire younger ma
trons. She was named Anna Florenco,
r after her mother, and sho married Walter
. Waring Hopktnson about four years ago.
"Mrs. Woodruff, as .well as her husband and
daughter, was a devout attendant of St.
Clement's Church, at Twentieth and Cherry
streets. It was there that Florence Hop
Uinson was married with a. choral sen-ice.
Mrs. Woodruff had been ill only a short
time, and was not considered seriously eo
until late Friday afternoon. The fact that
Mrs. Hopklnson gave a. small theatre party
that afternoon makes one ivallze how un
expected was her mother's death. They
were a most devoted ramuy aim my no.
aches for the bereaved husband and daugh
ier, for I am not mistaken In saying that
she was everything to them both.
AND now we hear that Jack Groome is
.engaged. And to an Augusta girl. I
t4U you, It's wonderful what staying down
in Augusta last year did to the members
of the Troop as far as Dan Cupid is con
cerned. Ben Rush came home engaged
to a girl from down there,-and now here's
Jack Groome engaged to Gladys Teague.
Jack came back from France Just about
Christmas, for he waa at the Charity Ball
. on December 46, having returned Just a
few days before, and every one waa so
excited to see him. He was mess sergeant
for the Troop in Augusta and first ser
geant when the Troop waa transformed
Into a trench mortar battery, and then
went back to the cavalry and was made a
second lieutenant. Later, when he was
abroad, he was transferred to the military
nii.. Mow le has been mustered out
from the arly since his return to this
country and ttpects to go Into business
here. The marriage will take place in
Augusta in the spring.
Several persons who were down in Au
gusta tell mo that they met Gladys there
and that sh Is a very attractive girl. Of
course, you know that Jack Is the son of
Colonel and Mrs. Groome and a brother of
Agnes Groome Dlxoa and Martha Groome
Thompson, the latter of whom lives in
New York. He's twenty-two years .old.
if "Sterna to me that a great many of the
- younger men are marrying these days and
I J marrying young. Jack Is a nephew of the
y .Harry Dlsstons. Mrs. Dlsston was Miss
T'dlth Roberts, a sister of Mrs.
Groome,
who was Miss Agnes Roberts.
$E WAS all by himself, with his over
seas cap in such a wall-eyed position
,he had to hold his head high to keopi
e cat) from sltdtng off. But he would
lave held it that way, anyhow, he was so
glad to see dear old narrow Chestnut street
again. His lilting walk I know he was
singing under his breath carried him
merrtly past the window or tne inde
pendence Bauare Auxiliary of the Red
Cross. In that window there are various
"reUcs," among them a Yankee helmet
' and a German helmet side by aide, like
. the 'Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat."
Glancing In, the soldier saw them, and
marching straight up to the window he
stopped and stared at them and then ln-
dulgod In a large, appreciative grin all to
lilmself. That boy had seen and used
things like that before, and. he was through
.witl them, and ho was glad.

COLD TO NEW MUSIC
Must Appreciate Modern Spirit or
Go Backward, Declares Or
chestra Conductor
' Philadelphia must appreciate tho spirit of
the new in music, else, musically, 'It will go
backward. There can be no standing still."
Leopold Stokowskl, conductor of the Phlla.
dclphla Orchestra, this afternoon epitomized,
hi that way, his opinion of the attitude of
Philadelphia uudlencei toward the works of
modern composers,
Mr. Stokowskl made It clear he was not
aiming shnftn of criticism nt the majority
f local music lovers. But there Is a croas.
section, he snld. that tyecoinca impatient
with Ru thing It Is unfamiliar with, nnd Is
Jiiwllllng to apply tho lest of closer ac
MUHtntaiice. The attltudo of some toward Composer
h'crvnbln. he snld. was a case In point.
One of the modern works played Saturday
nlclil by the Philadelphia Orchestra wan
Scryabln's "Poemo d'L"tase." Some of the
patrons of the Orchestra left the Academy of
.Music while It was being played. Mr. Sto.
l.owsl.I. a few minutes later, nsked the audi,
cnoo tu approncli the work with a deeper
sympathy nnd not to pass Judgment on It
until thev had heard It several times.
Mr, S'okowskl said today ills remarks'on
Snturriny night were not motivated by pcr
srns leaving the Academy during the con
celt. Ills comments wcro Inspired, he s.ild,
liv criticisms made by several persons after
the Toeme d'Extase" whs plajed Friday
night.
"Ono s.ild the composition was the work of
a ULidnmn. Another, that It sounded HUo
a harvard chorus. They did not like It
when thev first heard It -and were un
willing to get belter nciiualnted with It,
"Now, 1 have studied Scryabln for jears.
I know he Is one of the best of the moderns
In the last tw-elve or tlf teensj ears. I know
lutn thoroughly and I Know tho quality of
his works."
Mr. Stokowskl hesitated for a moment,
smiled nnd then resumed.
"You know the world has changed. It
has changed great I v In many ways In tho
last few years. The spirit of the new In
music must bo appreciated as must every
thing else new. Wo niay not like a thing,
but nt least we can be sympathetic.
"Tou would not let jour admiration for
hhakespearo Interfere, with jour sjmpathy
or appreciation of Strlndberg, or Dostoievsky.
I admire Scryabln, but that does not lnterfeie
with m- love for Bach or Beethoven.
"What I ,vtant Philadelphia to do Is to
show a greater appreciation for this new
bplrit In music It must do so or else, music
alls", it will go backwnrd. There can be
no stnndlng still.
"Philadelphia showed In other ways what
It could do during the war. Its achievements
were splendid. But there Is a. danger that
sho will settle back In her armchair. Of
ccurse tliero nro sociological reasons for
that. Those sociological leasons react on
other flcldw, even that of music. But Phila
delphia, musically, must keep her m'nd alive
and she can do this by showing deeper
sympathy with what is new."
WAR CAUSE OV TRUAKCV
1918 Delinquents Double Previous 'War Be
cause of Uig Wages
v,ar conditions ale given as the cause for
tho great Increase In truancy cases in tho
public schools during 1918.
The official report Just Issued for the ternr
ending January 31, 1919. shows that 2280
CRHes wero brought before magistrates In
1918, as compared with 10T9 In 1917.
Many of the parents paid the fine with a
smile. aj lng the children could afford to pay
flirts because they wero earning "good money"
In war industries. The number or employ
ment certificates Issued to pupils also was
greatly' Increased.
The fact that girls in the public schools nro
better pupils than bojs w as' indicated again
In the latest statistics. For many years the
Blrls have maintained the highest records.
In the higher schools 82.9 per cent of tho
girls were promoted, while onlj- 78.2 of the
bo) a advanced.
The best students in Philadelphia lflgh
schools aro those at the Kensington High
School for Girls, where 93 per cent were pro
moted last J'ear. The Northeast High Is
next, with 87.2 per cent promoted. The
lowest percentage of promotions is 72. Tho
highest .percentage of promotions is lu the
teachers' training classes.
'i'ho enrollment in the schools for 1918 was
290,153, as compared to 279,661 In 1917. Of
these, 14,75 were negro and eighteen Mon
golians. 11 A M.
