other states. All this, and some awfully
interesting stories of those people and the

Heckschers, of Bollngbroke, Radnor, nnd a
granddaughter of the late Mr. Charles
Brlcrly Hart. She Is a sister of Barbara
and Ethel and Ledyard H. Heckscher. It
goes without saying that she will have a
good time at the Ifrom, for undoubtedly
the dance will not be the only "feature";
there are always shows, games, club teas
and things up at Princeton.
I HEAR that tho Community Ctnter Li
brary of Bryn Mawr Is to be extended
for tho benefit of the people of the Main
Line In general. This new branch will in
clude all the newest novels of the day and
will undoubtedly be an awful help out
there, where there are no large public li
braries and such things. Mrs. George C,
Thayer, Mrs. Nathan Hayward, Mrs. J.
Stanley Reeves, Mrs. Horatio Gates Lloyd,
Mrs. Charles Sinnlckson, 3d, Mrs. Theodore

HE'S a big boy; big enough, indeed, to
know his alphabet and wear every
body's life out spelling It wherever he sees
nny of It. His mother found him the other
day studiously picking out the letters on
the large calendar out in the kitchen,
Aside from the fact that he called the "c"
an "o," he really got It ery well. He's
been so good about learning that on Sat
urday afternoon Mother took him into
town with her and told h he would give
him a treat treat suggesting to her mind
candy, ice cream or a toy.
So, after they had had a hair-cut, during
which he spelled "cat" and "rat" and so
on for the barber, and Mother had bought
some gloves and a few uninteresting things
like spools and lace, she asked him which
he would like to have. And to her amaze
ment Son replied that he would .like to
have some soap. Quldk te take advan
tage of the first appearance of any desire
for cleanliness, however unheard of, Mother
hustled him to the soap counter and picked
out the prettiest purple cake she could
find. But that didn't suit. He wanted just
a plain yellow cake, and as soon as he
showed It to her the reason became ap
parent It was .marked "Soap," in large,
easy-to-read letters.
And Son fell on it with ecstatic chuckles
and remarking in dreamy tones, "8 no
SO Mother, what's this Ietter?"vas led
out of the store unprotesthig.

FL0NZALEY QUARTET
IN FINE CONCERT
Gives Excellent Performance of
Ravel and Beethoven
String Quartets
Tho Flonzaley Quartet gave its second
concert of tho season before the Chamber
Music Association In the ballroom of the
Bellevue-Stratford yesterday nfternoon.
Two quartets were played, the M major of
Ravel and the C major, op. 5D, No. 3, of
Beethoven The compositions formed a strong
contrast to each other, but more In spirit
than In sound, for th Brethoven sounded
ns fresh nnd ns modern as the Ravel com
position. The Rnvel quartet came first on the pro
gram. It Is one of the most significant of
modern French. chamber compositions, stand
ing on a plane with the Dobussy O minor
quartet nnd only a little below that model
of nil modern French quartet writers, tho
D minor of Cesar Franck. In Spirit nnd orlg.
Inallty tho Ravel far outclasses other mod
ern French quartets those of D'Indry, Faure
nnd others
The composition Is more strictly written
than tho Debussy quartet, nnd there Is In It
ii decided tendency to use the various In
struments ns strictly solo voices, with ac
companiments in the other three parts,
rather than the more strict four-part writ
ing, which Is the basis of classical quartet
composition This shows the color of the
various Instruments to tho hekt advantage,
but there Is nn undeniable loss of the real
string quartet feeling In places. Tho Ravel
quartet, however. In alwavs clenr as to its
thematic material 'and equally distinct ns to
tonality, being thus in welcome contrast to
many of the modern French quartets.
There is no necessity for comment on tho
Beethoven number, which Is tho last of tho
three Rasonmoffsky quartets, and therefore
well known to quartet players and concert
goers. It Is one of tho great quartets of nil
time, both In thematic material, In the won
derful development of tho themes nnd in
Its close adherence throughout to the ideal
quartet feeling.
The work of the Flomaleys Is likewise too
well known to need more than a word. They
showed that remarkable finish nnd ensemble
which they possess, and which comes only
from years of practice together. The Ravel,
with Its Impetuosity nnd Intense emotional
ism. Is pernnps better suited to the tempera
ment nnd style of the Flonzaley Quartet than
the serene clns.lcism of, Beethoven. At nil
events, the plaved RaCel better, there be
ing nn occasional tendency to exaggerate in
Beethoven, especially In tho introduction.
WOMEN'S CLUBS ARE ACTIVE

Lent has meant no nhatement in serious
work of women's clubs, which nre unusually

WELFARE WORKERS AID '
HOME-BOUND SOLDIERS
All Organizations Have Men on
Transports to Give Cheer
to Heroes
As soon ns the homeward-bound soldier
steps on the transport a thousand questions
rise to his lips
How will he find things when he gets back
there? Will he get his Job back ngnln? Or.
fnlllng that, what will ho lie nble to do?
If wounded, disabled how will he live? And
his mother, wife, children or other dependents
how will they make out?
The fighting enthusiasm has left him;
fears, doubts, depressions, too often get hold
of him lie wants to ask this nnd that. To
whom shall he go?
The faithful welfnre worker Is there on
hoard the crowded troopship as he was In
the trench, nt the hospltnl nnd at canton
ment. The "Y" has had Its transport worker
accompanying the returning "doughbojs' nnd
"gobs" since June
More recently the government has given
passports to the other welfare agencies. In
cluding the American Red Cross, the Knights
of Columbus and the Jewish Welfare Board.
Each has one or more men, depending upon
tlie size of the ship, to look after tho heroes
Transport workers say there Is no one
more easily made happy, tin one more easily
made to feel sad than the mnn whb has been
through hell for a great cause anil Is now
returning, he knows not to what
So the transport worker gets Into the heart
of the man nnd mnkes him forget about him
self nnd keeps him In good spirits, which
often menus good henlth. by getting up a
minstrel show or other 'entertainment for
him.
Or the worker nnswers his questions nnd
advises him. He gives him unlimited tvrltlng
paper nnd envelopes
The "doughboy" has generally much loose
change In his pocket for which, before he
goes on board, the transport worker gives
him good old United States money, without
nny charge, according to the current rate of
exchange.

tee Is available for conference, without cost.
"Too often it lias happened that war monu
ments In the past have taken the form of
stone or metal soldiers with Hale or no varia
tion In design nnd utterly devoid of artistic
feeling nnd expression the product of the
shop." says a statement by the committee,
"not the studio. The American artist should
be called upon to design nnd execute nny
Mructural memorial of this war, and In every
community the memorial should be an In
dividual, artistic creation.
"Two brief circulars have been issued by
the American Federation of Arts. One has
been Issued b the National Commission of
Fine Arts nnd one will shortly be Issued by
the American Civic Association. They are
available on application to any member of the
committees, They all ndopt the principles
enunc'nted by the National Commission of
Fine Arts, which have also been approved by
the Jfatlonnl Academy of Arts and Letters.
"Memorials may take ninny forms, such as
a flag-staff with memorial base, a fountain,
a bridge, a building devoted to high purposes,
tablets, gateways, metals, mural jiecoratlon,
stained glnss windows, the village green or
other parks and also symbolic groups or
portrait htatues, In which success is not im
possible, but only talent of a high order can
achieve it. The circular recommends secur
ing an adviser to confer with him In regard
to the location, the type of memorial nnd
the selection of the artist."

HOSPITALS ARE LACKING
Report Declares 3 Per Cent re in Unfit
Condition
Petinsjlvnnla has only three-fifths as many
hospital beds as are estimated to bo neces
sary to serve the community adequately.
The uneven distribution of the hospitals,
nccordlng to the first report of the health
Insurance commission, also adds to, the In
adequncy of hoipltnl service.
Philadelphia Is well above the nuthorized
average of five hospital beds for 1000 popula
tion, nnd reports 6.2 beds average. A great
part of the southeastern district of Pennsyl
vania however, depends largely upon the
metropolitan hospitals nnd brings down the
avcrnge to less than one bed per 1000 per
sons. Sixteen counties in the state have no hos
pitals and nine other counties have an aver
age of but one bed for every 1000 persons.
The cost of ward beds Is greater than one.
half the employed persons of the state nre
able to pay and, as a consequence, such per
sons are compelled to accept charity or go
without treatment.
The state has provided ten hospitals for
miners, at which 87 per cent of the treatments
are given free. T)no hundred nnd seventy
five other hospitals reported that B7 per cent
of their In-patients were treated free.
The health Insurance commission report
also points out the same uneven distribution
of physicians. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and
Scranton have more than the average needed,
while mining towns, where there Is much
slcknees, have less than the adequate number.
