JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Nancy Wytine Talks of the Many Goings and Comings in
Society School Set to Have Subscription Dance March
24 Doctor Reath on Convalescent -List
T I1EAU that Banning Orange and EUza-
both BoyJ are going up to Now Haven
tomorrow for the Prom on Saturday night.
Mrs. Grange Is going to chaperone them.
Don't you know they're going to hao a
good time? They are both attractive, and
you know tho Yale men ha o the reputa
tion of being marvelous dancers; so I
foresee one "grand" and glorious week
end for thoso two girls. Both of them are
Emergency Aid Aide's and have been work
ing pretty hard, so they really deserve a
good time, though I can scarcely realize
that Banning Is old enough to go to one
of the "Proms." With her "bobbed" head,
she docs not appear moro than thirteen or
fourteen ears, though as a matter of fact
she Is sixteen or seventeen and will be
making her debut next year. She is tho
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Drayton
fcw. a ran go and a nleco of Major and Mrs.
Louis Rodman rage, Jr., and a most popu
lar young person. i
TYID you know that George Wharton
' Pepper, Jr., has had the mumpi down
In Fortress Monroe, Va.? And so, though
ho has been In this country for more than
a week, has not yet been able to come
home to sco Ills wife and family. How
ever, ho really Is recovering fast now and
will come up tho latter part of this week
to St. Davids, where Marlon and the chil
dren aro staying with her. parents, Mr,
and Mrs. William Hoyward Mers. You
remember, Mrs. Pepper was Marlon Myers,
one of the four attractive sisters. Of
course, from his name 5 ou know That Lieu
tenant Teppcr is a ton of George
Wharton Pepper, of this city. He Is a
brother of Mrs. Ted Paul and Mrs. KHz
Eugeno Dixon Nevvbold.
WHAT did jou think of the surprise Bart ,
Hirst "sprang or sprjng," whlcheer
you say? Married nearly a jear ago and
necr satd'a word about It.
And Mrs. Hirst, who was Christine Hare,
went over to France and did war work.
I don't see how they ever kept It. Never
told until she came back from the other
side, cither, though Bart returned nearly
six weeks ago. And they say a woman
can't keep a secret!
I HOPE tho danco for the Bijn Mawr
Hospital Social Sen Ice Is going to be
a. great .ucces3, and it seems likely It will
be, for the managers ha 0 wisely chosen to
give tho dance for the members of tho
school set and during tho time of tho boys'
spring holidays. It's to bo at the Merlon
Cricket Club, you know, on tho evening of
March 24, and a. lot of prominent women
out Main Line wards aro Intercsledjn it.
They are moro than anxious to raise funds
for tho social service work at tho hos
pital, or rather connected with tho hos
pital. For as is the caso with most of the
hospitals, tho resources wero depleted
during the Influenza epidemic of tho fall.
Some of tho women who are working
for the success of the dance are Mrs.
'William U. Phlller, Mrs. Sabln W. Colton,
Mrs. George Packard, Mrs. Kenton Elsen
brey, Mrs. Howard Elscnbrey, Mrs. Wil
liam A. Llebcr, Mrs. Arthur D. Smith. Mis.
Henry Earnchaw, Mrs. Charles Slnnlck
non, Mrs. Arthur Baugh and several others.
I AM
Isl
AM so glad to hear that Dr. Ben Iteath
1 better. You know ho was III for some
time at tho University Hospital. He went
out West for tho government last summer
and contracted some Infection which pois
oned his system temporarily. Ho ! now
so much better that ho and Mrs. Heath
havo gono down to Ormond Beach In
Florida for a chango of air, and all his
friends aro hoping to nee them return, the
doctor once more his vigorous, strong self.
He has always been such a picture of
health it has been hard to reallzo that he
' has been ill.
While her parents aro in trie South, Al
berta, their very attractivo daughter, is
staying with her grandmother, Mrs. Albert
Paucoast, ut tho Aldlno Hotel. Alberta
goes to school in Bryn Mawr, whilo her
brother, Pancoast, Is at St. Paul's.
Alberta is very pretty, with brown, curly
, hair In which thero is n decided golden
tint and large brown eyes. I saw her re
cently at a party wearing a palo green
frock which was wonderfully becoming.
HE COULD not go and sing at the con
cert as they had expected, because,
you see, they went and had tho concert on
a day when ho vvaa, scheduled to play bas
' ketball. So they had to havo it without
him, and I must say from tho tales I
7 heard tho songs rather suffered on that
account. Then tho hostess announced that
a John , who was to hav o sung, could
not be there, and she added, "He hasa
beautiful volco and he'll sing next tlme.'r
When tho family told John about it ho
was fearfully bored and remarked: "Well,
Mrs. B is a very nice woman; es sho
m is, but she talks too much. Still," ho
added thoughtfully, "being a woman she
can't help that." NANCY WYNNE.

EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER
DAMROSCH ORCHESTRA
GIVES FINE CONCERT
New York Organization Divides
Honors of the Evening With
Mnhcl Garrison, Its Soloist
The Symphony Society of New York,
Walter Damrosch, conductor, gave Us third
and last subscription concert of the season
at the Academy of Muslo last evening. The
soloist was Miss Mabel Garrison, the Ameri
can coloratura soprano, whose beautiful
voice and perfect style of singing, added to
a charming stage presence, made her one of
the greatest successes of the Philadelphia
season.
Mr. Damrosch opened the program with the
Fifth Symphony of Trchalkowsky, the one
in E minor, In many respects the finest of
tho six which he composed. His Interprota
Hon of the familiar work was sane and re
strained nnd yet at tho samo time did not
lack warmth or color. Tho tempi were mod
eralo and the volume of tone never too loud
or too toft to lose the characteristic color
of the various Instruments Only In a por
tion of the second part of the waltz, vhlch In
this work takes the place of the customary
scherzo, was tho tone balance disturbed, and
here, when the violas took up tho figure In
sixteenth notes, they could not be heard.
In nil the other parts of the symphony, as
well as in the other numbers, the work of
the orchestra In shading, balance, beautv of
lJifi..n1d I,re1clslt" was as good as h.i been
n!l ,1,ero ln a lonc tlme " Is with this
orchestra, nnd not our late famous rivals
from further north, that our own fine organi
sation must contend for premier honors ln
!Lu a.!"' ..Tlla chnK" made by Mr. Dam
roach In tho personnel nt the beginning of
jne present season have added materially to
tne strength of the orchestra, especially ln
the tone quality of the strings.
The other orchestral numbers were the
symphonic poem "Phaeton" of balnt-Sacns,
performed ast night for the third time this
niS ."J ..I'al0" ort"e to the opera "Lo
rL .. ,Bo,h works "" a" Per
formed as the symphony, and need no com
ment except to say that the third section
or the overture, for solo cellos in three or
lour parts, was exceptionally well done, the
rt H, 3 a "ne a'nPe of an extremo
diminuendo a dlfllcult effect to obtain with
more than one pait The at part of the
overture was taken at high speed with the
full power of the orchestra, nnd the concert
ended with snap and vigor but then Mr
Damrosch s concerts usually end that way
Tlnely as tho orchestra played, however,
they had to divide the honors with Miss
Garrison. She sang first tho recitative, aria
and rondo "Mia Spcranza Adorata" of
Mozart, and the second time the "Hymn to
tho Sun, from "Le coq d'or." of Illmsky
Korsakoff. It Is gcn to few singers to
sing Mozart well, for his vocal works are
usually either overentlmentallzed or else
mado to sound like an exercise Miss Garrl
son did neither, for she Fang the tremen
dously dlfllcult and florid nrla and rondo
with tho best of taste, using her great vocal
technique purely as a means of interpreting
the really beautiful musical thoughts that the
work contains. It calls not only for an ex
tremely fiuent vocal technique, but also for
nn enormous range upward, which Miss
Garrison has And her voice, moreover
never becomes thin and 'while" In the unner
notes.
'1 ho Rlmsky-Korsakoff number, as was to
bo expected, was entirely different In char
acter It Is very dlfllcult in Its intonation,
many of the Intervals being unrelated to tho
previous chord and thereforo hard to sing
with accuracy of tone While not requiring
the extreme vocalization of the Mozart num
ber, the "Hymn to the Sun" Is Just ns hard
to sing, calling for a great range and per
fect control; but here, as before. Miss Garri
son sang with great tonal beauty and In
flawless taste. She received many recalls
after each number, and the tribute of the
audience was well deserved.
PERSHING SAYS ARMY MAIL

Of serfdom, bleak with rago and tears,
Beneath thy gallant, stricken wings
Rouso theo! Aloft thy cymbals fling!
The foeman crushed thy dreams to earth.
Thy dauntless pride but stirred his mirth,
What recked ho of thy soul's new birth?
Thine eyes were haunted pools of pain.
When far across the mist-drenched plain
lima cries of grief from sad Lorraine
But still thou walled, silent, still, elate,
Fair Alsacs by thy Strasburg gate
(1 hough all thy robes were tattered, frayed.
That onte thy regal form arrayed).
For this great Day, when God should toll
the hour.
To fling tho brutal foeman from thy tower.
Opo wide thy gate. Behold thy fleeing
Master,
Alone, fear-haunted, prono in fell disaster.
While all the nations weep with frenzied
laughter!
Let now thy wondrous Minster bell,
Fair Alsace I peal his funeral knell
Deck out thy arches, colonnades.
Roar forth thy Joy in cannonades;
Unfurl thy flags 1 Chant hymns of Victory,
With Foch nnd all his Knights of Liberty 1

Back with untarnished name and lance,

HUGE TURNIP INSPIRED
LONGFELLOW TO WRITE
First Poem Recalled on 112th
Anniversary of His Birth
Today
The 112th anniversary loaav or tne mrth
of Henry W. Ixmgfellow recalls a verse
which Miss Annie II Henkcls, fonueny a
school teacher here, believes to be tne great
poet's first effort.
Miss Henkcls, who lives nt 1712 Jefferson
street, explains her discovery of Hip poem
and a curious tradition that went with It.
"When I was teaching school," she said,
"a boy In my class one morning recited the
curious little erse. 1 asked him about It
He told me the story as It had been told htm
by his parents.
"When the poet T-ongfcllovr was nine
years old his schoolmaster wanted him to
write a composition. Little Henry, like all
other children, shrank from the undertaking.
His master, however, Insisted, and Anally
sent him bac' of the schoolhouse to compose
an original poem.
The school was across from the barn of a
Mr. Finney, where nn enormous turnip grew.
The turnip fascinated young Ixngfellow.
"Half nn hour later bo returned with his
slate, on which was written his first poem."
The poem which Mis Hcnkclq ouers as the
Ixmgfellow's maiden effort is ns follows:
Mr. rlnnrj'n Turnip
