Even so muny people nr6 going down
Baltimore wny next Saturday to attend
the Bachelors' Cotillon. Tor yqu know
thU ono will lio the first given since our
country entered the world war, so It's
solhg' to be some patty!
From all 1'Vo heard, there uro to be
numberless dinner parties for the tleba and
out-of-town guests, and ono of tlioMurgcit
will bo that given by .Mr. and Mrs. Fred
erick Adums Savage, who will entertain
for their daughter Dorothy and whose out-of-town

JJarnett, IT. H. M. C, und Mrs. Harnett, who
Is going on to Ualtlmoro from Washington
for tho occasion; Kuslgn John A. Mayor,
U. S. N, and Ensign Arthur Littleton, U.
S. X of this city.
TMD you ever hear anything' like the
U preparations for tho Easter holidays In
tho school set? Dinners and dances and
parties galore. Of cour&e, tlicro'll be Ilia
Saturday livening Committee Dancing
Class, and It will be March 28, about mid
Lent, bcoauso so many of the boys' schools
Blvo the Hosier holidays beforo Haster.
Tho reason for this Is that tho buys sing
In the school choirs and they ar,e needed
for the Holy "Week singing. I know this is
bo of St. Paul's, and I believe St. Mark's
and Andovcr and St. Luke's and several
others have tho Eame rules.
Well, Just some of the parties planned
ahead are: A theatre party for Charlotte
Starr, to bo given on March 22 by Mr. and
Mrs. Starr; a dinner for Harriet Frnzler
Zimmerman by her parents beforo tho Sat
urday Kvenlng on tho 28th of next month,
and a dinner befoie tho tame danco for
Elizabeth Bartow, gleu by her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. .Toslah B. Bartow.
Tho Tristram Collects will glvo a dinner
beforo tho Haverford bdiool dance, vvhlclj
will talco place on March 7, and Mr. and
Mrs. Irvln King will gle u. dinner beforo
the Satuiday Evening on March "S. Theie
will bo several moro meetings of tho
Wurts Class, too, beforo tho end of the
season. Tomorrow night will bo the fancy
dress meeting of that class, and It seems as
If it would be a ery pretty affair. If all
I hear is true In regard to the dresses the
girls aro going to wear.
WHAT a lovely time Mrs. Felix du Pont
and Mrs. William Waterman aro hav
ing down In Palm Beach. They went down
there together several weeks ago and have
been entertained quite a good deal, though
not as much as tho "Palm Beachcrs" would
like to have done, because both Mrs. du 1'ont
and Mrs. Waterman went thcro for a rest.
Mrs. du Font vvus Mary Hlchurd Chiches
ter, better known as "Dick," you remem
ber. She used to live with her sister, tho
' late Mrs. William Mulr, In Haverford, be
foro her marriage to Felix du Pont, of
Wilmington. Mrs. Waterman vvaS Miss
Sarah Wlstcr und Ihes hi Chestnut I Mil
most of, Iho tlmr. She has several dear
little children und Is ono of the sweetest
women In tho yuunger married set.
IT IS lnturcdthur to hear of the marriage
In Milton, Mass., of Catherine Whlttler,
of Milton, who In a, sister of Boss AVhlttler,
who married Nancy Tunis, of this cltj.
Catherine Whlttler was murrled to ayoung
Scotchman of the IJoyal Navy, Lieutenant
John Fraser, of Leckhelm, Scotland. You
remember Nancy Tunis, the .daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Tunis, was married
about a year ago to Captain Ross Whlt
tler, He, by the way, was best man at his
sister's wedding. Nancy Tunis is a sister
of Hilda Tunis and a cousin of Marlon und
Eleanor Wiuts and of tho BIssell boys,
sons of Mr. und Mis. Perot BIssell, and of
Dorothea Wlllson.
IHKAB thut the Bed Cross volunteer
factoiy, at 1314 Market street, is still
doing a great deal of woik every day. The
workers are turning out quantities of
refugee garments, and tho interest seems
to have Increased since the armistice. I
suppose it's because so many of tho
auxiliaries have "shut up shop," that people
who still want to work are going to tho
factory, where tho work i3 still fast and
furious. Mrs. Grenvlllo Dodge Montgom
ery Is running It now, und a number of
prominent women are busy there certain
days a week. Mrs. Harry Potter and Mrs.
S. Dcas Slnklcr are ulways thcro on
Wedncsdaj s.
WEH Mary is not very old, but she Is
protty bright, and she knows pictures
when she tees them. But why do you sup
pose, when you want to show them off,
.kiddles always embarrass you? Mother
had Mary on her lap one day recently
when a friend came to call. Naturally
Friend began talking to tho baby, who
smiled dlflldcritly and tried to hldo her faco.
In order to mako her feel at home with
the visitor, Mother picked up the book of
bright pictures that Mary had dropped to
the floor and said, "Oh, protty pussy."
"Meow!" responded Mary quickly. Tho
visitor was highly pleased and Mother
much elated at having overcome the Bhy
ness, and proceeded to show her trie pic
tures, and Mary said "Wow-wow" and
"Moo" and roared lustily for the lion. Then
Mother showed her a goat, and to her lior
ror Mary, who by now felt much at home,
lemarked with a delighted chuckle,
"Daddy." NANC1' WYNNE.

TWO LKTTERS DELAY LETTERS
(iiliuKo, Peb. 20. Mrs. Molllo Nttcher
Neuberger owner of tho Boston store of this
city and ono of Its richest women, petitioned
yesterday to change her namo to Molllo
Netcher Newbury.
It is all because, ns u business woman,
she has to write the name so often, a hun
dred or moro times a day, and a shorter
namo would be ensler,
Mrs Neuborger's Orst husband was
Charle's Netcher, founder of the Boston
store, anil sho retains that name because sho
Is trustee of tho estate left by him. Tho
change will save her only two letters, but
according to her nttomcy that means a lot
In tho course of a busy day.

"PSYCHIC PROPHET"
STIRS PENN CAMPUS
Sampler of Free, Very Free,
Verse, Strangely Signed,
Excite Students
The Psj elite Prophet of Poetry has arrived
on the campus of the University of Penn
silvamn. That's the name ho calls himself,
and nobody around tho University feclssafo
In contradicting him.
As jet the newcomer has been seen by
no one; Indeed, he had never been heard of
until this week, but from present indications
he will soon be a Philadelphia as well as a
colltgo celibrlty.
So far nobody pretends to understand tho
I'. P. of P., but, as they say In apology,
"Nobody expects to understand the best of
new poetry, and tho least Intelllglblo it Is
the better."
As ct only tin eo gems from the pen of
this new ginlus have been discovered at
Penn. All vi ere typewritten and two of them
were unsigned, but at present students and
faculty alike who aro lntereHed at all in
the poetizing art ore on edgo with Impa
tience for some new development.
The Ilrst of the three poems was found In
the farthest recess of the most retired al
cove of the libiary. It appears to be. so
general opinion agrees, the new poet's greet
ing to Philadelphia, If, us Is thought, ho is a
stranger from "climes unknown." Thus tho
poet rhapsodizes on the clt of Penn:
"IricaCable. irrefragable, irresponsible Thou!
,Srnini(nj7 f)ic U'alrr waves,
A'breal: across the Utie-jyivrii aluac of
predatory
Pontics,
Can we see the heart thee,
Or onbj think ee seet
As f7ic partlen snail yea, even the tiny
giinten snail
H'i'o eradliates the tuolluome hcafi or
masticates
'J he prMeful pea,
flees his reflation In the filmy ilee .
ifoiu cuu (i Cosmfc Globoid Ullf"
Somebody ut the. University was cruel
enough to declare that this specimen of tho
Cosmic Globold's varbe reminds him of a
seed catalogue, but that Is unjust to the
new genius.
Second Mestage Discovered
At tho other extreme of the campus, Just
outsldo the door of Botanical Hall, tho sec
ond mcisago from the P. P. of P., like the
first, untitled and unsigned, was found late
jesterday aftemoon.
It nppears to be Intended as In honor of
tho newly rushed freshmen, but no one has
ns yet entirely deciphered It. This Is how
tho poet sounds wheir he gets on subjects of
local Interest:
"Oh olow.na ones, most holly, brightly
ylowlny ones
I'anelful phantasies of a ftfvld, pftuiirus
inaporlal Phenomenon
lleware !
Tho snotes of winter, aje, the Ihiehest
snows of
The most xelntry winter
Are as naught, or less than navyht beside
WhaC will be befall
You 1011 you,
AeHul aroo(cs cannot suic nor jugger
nauts avail
H7ieii comes tho night
The night of nights itself
When jvfio rites entangle
And you no longer art yourself, tho petted,
patted,
Friend of all the Oods,
But only good, yea, alas, are only pood
To fix the furnace."
Poet Hints ut Identity
This morning shortly before chapel, di
rectly lu front of College Hall steps, a third
Innocent piece of paper was discovered, this
time capped with the fateful signature,
Psychic Prophet of Poetry, and which con
tained four short lines, written with tho
usual direct and simplo Mgor of the new
poetic genius. They are:
" am that one luC not lie alone
Most positively not, for he is not file ic
.Wore (Iian 0 JJoIirv(fe yet not as much
For Bolsheviks are such as one can see
But I not so, most certainly not so '
am the wind that rustles down your neck
As you standing waiting for tho p, j, x.
I am the wind, the rain, the topmost specf-
of all,
I am the psychic- prophet of alt poetry.'1
Now everybody nt the University Is looking
for further developments.

NICHOLAS DOUTY IN
LECTURE-RECITAL
Interesting and Instructive Eve
ning Gicn by Philadel
phia Singer
Nicholas Uouty gavo the second of his
interesting and Instructive lecture-recitals
beforo a large and Justifiably enthusiastic
audience In Wltherspoon I lit 11 last evening,
Tho seiles of three, which Mr. Douty Irf
giving under tho auspices of the Unlversltj
Hxtenslon Society. Is entitled "The poet and
the Song," and the event of last evening
treated of the poets of tho nineteenth en
tury and tho music to which some ot this
poetry is set.
Mr. Iiouti 's tieattnent of his subject was
not only interesting, but decidedly original.
Ho first discussed the poet and tho place
whlih has been awarded to him In perma
nent literature. Then ho took up the specific
poem which Is set to the song which he had
chosen, although this poem Infrequently not
of tho tjpe by which tho poet has won his
permanent fame. Then, lu n few words, lie
tells who the composer Is, a matter of great
inteicst and Importance to those who are
not so familiar, as is Mr. loulj. with the
history of the song.
As might bo expected from so thorough a
inu.lcl.in as well us accomplished singer (ami
the words are not ulwnvs svnouomous). Mr
Douty's seleclloiiB of the songs to lllustiale
the puciiis were of the best. They wero not
nlwajs thoie which showed his voice anil
style to tho best advantage, but they were
tn every Instance, thoso which carried out
to tho utmost the points which ho had made
in the talk which preceded them. Thes In
eluded songs from the classic und moilein
Preach, German (classic onls ), Norwegian
Kngllsh, American and Russian composers
Mr. Douty was In exiellent voice and k.iiig
all the songs with that artistry of technique
and temperament which he nlwovs shows.
Two of the selections were by Philadelphia
composers, n charming setting of Words
worth's "Daffodils" by Bills Clark Hammann
nnd :i remnrkably beautiful work of Mr
Douti's to Walt Whitman's "Twilight."
Both ale compositions which compared fa
vorably with any on the program, evin
though It Included names such as Gounod.
Liszt. C'hnusson, Glleg and Arenski. -Mr.
Douty was obliged to repeat the songs of
Gounod, Llilgey anil his own work. The de
mands of the audience were perfecilj Justi
fied as regards the lovely song of Gounod and
Mr. Douty's own, but tho success of the
Lldgey song was something of a mysterj.
Despite the vigor of the melody tho altera
tion of the disguised triplets seemed an un
pardonable monotony.
At tho close of the program, which rfas a
line setting by Arensky to 11 poem in blank
verse of Tourgenlcff entitled "Melodrama,
which seemed, by the va, an Inadequate
translation, Mr. Douty was so vigorouslj
encored that he sang two of his own songs
with lino effect, plavlng his own accompanl-
tivntila
Joseph W. Clarke was at the piano amiSi
plajed the dllllcult nnd exacting accompani
ments of the songs with tnsto und discretion,
no easy matter when the fitting of the ac
companiment and Its Importance hi the gen
eral scheme of most of the songs to the vocal
part In many of the numbers Is considered.
