flancy Wynne Hears That Miss Alexandra Dolan Is Suffering
With a Broken Wrist She Tells of the Tea at
Chapin Home for the Blind
I WAS so sorry to hear about Allx Dolan's
accident. Did you know sho was thrown
from her horse whllo hunting down In
Aiken, S. C, whero her parents and sho
are spending several weeks? Her wrist
was broken. Allx, you know, has been
taking a course In nursing. I mean a real
honcst-to-goodness course, not a few weeks
or months' one, but a coupto of years, and
she has been having a well-earned holiday.
It Is too bad this accident has happened.
However, It's better than a broken arm.
The Bob Strawbrldgcs are down In Aiken,
too, and Anita, their attractive daughter,
is with them.
Anita, If I am not mistaken. Is about tho
coming-out age, and will bo among next
year's debs. It's dlfllcult to keep tab on
the exact ages of the joungsters as they
como along, when they get to be about
sixteen, for so many of them turn up their
hair now when they are only fifteen. (The H
"boys won't dance with them at the parties.
If you please, when their tresses are al
lowed to flow down tho back; that means
they aro kids. Can you beat it?)
Noxt year It will bo rather hectic as to
ages, anyhow, because a lot of tho girls
of nineteen who would havo como out last
year and tho car before will make their
debut next, and you won't be able to say
In future years: "Oh, yes, sho camo out in
1919-20 and so she must havo been eighteen
then and so she's about ninety now": you
know tho way you do. Bo that as it may,
they are all coming out and it's going to
be a wonderful winter as far as purtlcs
are concerned.
I "WISH you could have been with me
on Monday afternoon at the Chapin
Memorial Homo for tho Blind. They had
ono of their afternoon tea parties for the
old people who are nt that home, and Mrs.
Edgar Kalis Smith, who was In charge of
tho entertainment, asked tho quartet of
the University Ulco Club to slug for them,
and they did, and beautifully at that, and
they accompanied the old pcoplo when
they wanted to sing: and llttlo Miss Hels
ler was out there and bang, too.
Altogether It was a lovely party. Mrs.
William Woodward, you know, Is chair
man of tho auxiliary of ladies who, ainotlg
other things, get up these little parties four
and tlvo limes a vcar. Sho has done won
derful work together with her committee,
and you know she is blind herself has
been for twelvo years but sho's ready to
go anywhero and do anything for others
and has, I honestly bolteve, done- moro for
the blind In this city than any other ono
person here.
In connection with the Chapin Memorial
Home, by the way, the Matlneo Musical
Club members will give a concert next
Wednesday night, March 26, at the Nor
mandle, Thirty-sixth and Chestnut streets,
for the benefit of the Memorial Home.
-Dorothy Johnstone Biseler will play her
harp, Zoltan de Horvath will play a num
ber of his piano compositions and Miss
Ituth Buck, Miss Kathryn Melsle and Mr.
Howard Berry will sing.
The philanthropy committee of the musi
cals o'.ub has had a concert every year for
the home and tho silver oltlcrlngs given by
thel attending guests havo made quite a
sum for tho homo, which Is not endowed
and must depend on the charity of Its
friends.
DTD you hear about tho huge fish Harri
son Dulles, Jr., caught down in Palm
Beach recently? Ho and his parents are
down there for a while, you know. -Well,
Harrison went llshlng and he caught the
largest klngflsh ever recorded there. What
, do you know about that? It weighed sixty
two pound3, and maybe ho did not have
some cute little time landing Mr. Fish.
He's having It mounted, my informant tells
me, and they say ho's going to take It to
New York with him as a souvenir. Some
souvenir. You know tho Dulleses have
been living In New York for some time,
though they are Philadelphians.
TEDDY was busily engaged In testing the
capacity of his handsfor hotdlng mud
rainy day the day before being still evi
dent In the garden. And It was Interesting
to see how completely they (the hands) dis
appeared under a fair-sized lump or mud.
So Interesting, In fact, that ho never knew
- a thing about the time until he heard the
inald calling him to come get his bath and
get ready for dancing class. Dancing class
with all that fascinating mud there In
'tte garden! But It had to be, and so ho
nubmitted to a bath, and then clean clothes,
ullppors that refused to stay on his feet,
Tb large and flowing necktie and much comb-
JsiMng and parting of his thick hair. At last
I1"? he was ready, ana as iuoiner paiicu mm
approvingly on the shoulder and asked him
for tho last time whether he had a hand
kerchief and if he was suro ho had the right
hat, he sighed violently and remarked re
signedly, "Oh, It's such a bother to be a
gentleman's son!" NANCY WVNNI3.

The Metropolitan Opera Company last
evening gave tho first Philadelphia porfoi
iiinnce of Xavler Lerou's opera 'La Heine
Fianimette," a work which required nlmovi
the entire resources of even that great com
pany, for there am twenty-thrte In the cast
and a van number of extra pel sons, while
the scenic demands are as great as In any
oppra which has been seen hero for a long
time.
Probably ono of the chief reasons for tho
production of the work, aside from the fact
that Mr Gattl-Cnsazza Is always on tho
lookout for worth-while novelties, Is that
the part of Fiammetto is admirably adapted
to the dramatic talents of Mls Farrar, who
Is unquestionably at her be&t In parts like
that of tho high-spirited. Impulsive queen
who was the heroine of last evening's njiora.
and who goes cheerfully to her death for
the sikc of her love.
Miss Farrar both sang and acted the part
to perfection. She wai in belter voice than
she has been at anv of her performances
of this season in Philadelphia, her upper
notes being especially clear In quality and
free In utterance. There Is little need to
dwell on her dramatic abilities. It i3 Muf
ficlent to say that the opera gives ample
scope to them, and Mlsn Farrar's dramatic
Instincts nnd training did the lest. She was
especially good in the closing scene, whero
after defjltig tho Cardinal she and her lover
proceed calmly to the executioner.
Of the others In the Immense cast, Leon
Rothler as the villainous Cardinal was the
most convincing character. Impressive In
appearance and dlgnlflevl In action, but with
plenty of vehermnce where the part requires,
ho gave a rendition of tho part that was a
revilatlon to Phlladelphlnns at least as to
his vocal and dramatic abilities. His voice
Is Oep, rich and of fine quality and volume.
Adamo Dldur, who made hlo first appear
ance hem for some time, did well in the
somewhat ungrateful part of Giorgio d'Ast,
a character obviously not adapted to ex
hibit his great talents to the hest ad
vantage. HIpollto Lazaro. in the t'nor role
of Danlelo, rang and acted well, but It Is
no easy matter to play a tragedv part
against tho artistry of Geraldlne Farrar
when she is at her best, as she was last eve
ning. The others In the cast were all rela
tively minor. parts, but vvero adequately
taken, especially the part of the three llttlo
Jesters, sung by Mary Ellis, Leonore
Spnrkes and Kitty Beale.
Musically, the opera Is rather difficult to
define accurately. It never rises to very
great heights, but it can by no means be
calk-d commonplace. It inclines somewhat
toward the Italian (Puccini) style of mel
ody and Is only remotely touched by the
modern French harmonic system. Here and
there aro exquisite bits of melody, but they
are never carried to their logical conclu
sions. Somo of the scenes are longer than
the dramatic and musical Interest of them
warrant, and the music does not always carry
out faithfully tho emotion derlcted by the
stoge action and rarely has the "bite" of
real tragedy. Mention, however, must be
mado of tho artistic restraint shown at the
close of the third act, where the Cardinal
orders the Queen under arrest without a
spoken word, and as sho leaves In silent ter
ror the curtain falls to two pizzicato notes
In the bnsses Instead of the thunderous or
chestral tumult which most modern com
posers would have written. In the orches
tration much discretion Is sluwn, and thero
Is none of that abuse of vast resources
which has been so conspicuous a featuro of
orchestral composition, both operatic and
symphonic, since Richard Strauss showed us
how many Mns brilliant orchestration can
he made to cover.
Tho staging, both in scenery and in cos
tumes, was superb. The opera In every scene
was a picture to tho cjo, and Mr. Ordynski's
efioits were amply acknowledged by tht larjre
audience. "o

'"Let Us Have Peace"
To the Editor oj the Virtiing Public l.ciliier:
Sir I have read with a great deal of In
teiest vour recent article concerning the
"Korean philosophy" of certain of our states
men, hut it would seem to me that If we let
our memory drift buck but a few years
we would find some of the ones who aro
now talking the loudest about our joining
hands with the rest of the world were then
the ones who were trslng to Keep this nation
in the "hermit" class.
Who was It that opposed pieparedness and
our entry Into the European struggle long
after it was plain to eveiy clenr-thlnking
American that wo must sooner or later be
drawn in? Not the Borahs, the Polndexters,
the Knor.s or the Sheimans. Tan It be that
we have forgotten the watchwords of 101G,
"He kept us out ot war" and "Too proud to
fight." It would seem that if our statesmen
who wanted to keep this nation a hermit
among the nations were to wear the "long
Asiatic nightshirt, cloth sllppeis and in
verted top hat,s tied on with a ribbon"
this custom would long ago have become
quite a familiar sight In Washington
Wo ate willing to shoulder our responsi
bilities In the world, but we do not wont
this great nation, which bos stood for so
long as the home of n free people, tied down
to the petty jealousies of the Old World. A
league of nations wo all want, it it can be
accomplished so that It. will really bring
about the result which eveiy God-fearing
human being desires, the doing away for all
time with the possibility of tho horrois which
have oppressed us for four years; but if such
a league is to be formed It cannot be done
by fhe gieat powers dominating the world,
which Is merely another form of "Kalserism "
This is what wo all deslie a imlvcisnl
court of justice, whero largo and small na
tions aie represented alike, but first of all
let us have peace; let the world return to Its
peaceful pursuits, feed the hungry, for it is
In empty stomachs that Bolshevism de
velops let us restore poor, forgotten Belgium
to its normal life i, oven on our enemies must
we h.ne compassion, for we must hasten
befoie. It Is too Inte to savo Germany from
the fatn of Russia Let there be loss talk,
more action nnd less determination to force
at any cost the will of a certain few on tho
rest of the world.
A PAIR-MINDED AMERK'AX.
Philadelphia, March 17.
He Likes Dakota Hraud
To the f.'ilttor of the Vveninp Public l.rdgct
Sir You Invite comment on jour editorial
on the Nonpartisan League of North Da
kota, and Its completo control of that stato
as now iccently evidenced In Its consumma
tion of government ownership and control of
qr foinidtlon of a stato bank, grain mills and
elevators, and home building association,
from every business man, every politician and
every student of popular government. As
ono of the latter only, I respectfully give ou
my opinion straight from tho thoulder. and
that is: All hall tho power of tho Non
paitisap League of North Dakota' More
over, may this "center of contagion" In tho
great Northwest spread until It dominates
ths rest of tho Union, and tho world If needs
be.;
Vou dismiss ns "a mere Incident" the in
dictment of this league for pro-Gennanlsm
and. Its leader, A. C. Townley, of disloyalty.
Very easy to dispose of that In such simple
faBhlon, but the fact remains that It was
nothing moro or less than an attempt of
special privilege to "get them," the same as
they think they got Debs and Berger, etc.
etc.
The question Is, whsn, oh when, will jou
otherwise liberal special privilege; backers
succumb to the Inevitable? Is It not about
time tho rubber band snaps Its vicious sting
back on the cheek7
Has not tho handwriting on the wall been
writ In words of flro so that all who are
not. stone blind may see? H. M. B.

for Women's fervice. who presided at the
at the Ilcllcvuc-Slratford jestcrday
ask that oil pi cent tho following facts In
jour paper. In order that our position hcio
may bo made deal.
t'oatesvlllo does not draw tho color line.
Plnco tho Civil War it lias had a large
colored population, made up of good citUens,
As evidence tli.it there Is no discrimination
ngalnst the colored people, wo need only
point out that une-thhd of the members ot
our local police force aie colored men.
The deportation, which has been mentioned
(u somo of the newspapers. Included whites
as well aa blacks. Tho men who weio oi
dered from tho city bv tho mayor were of
the wondering class men who had formerlj
been cmploved elsewhere and simpiy came
into our city ns they wero going from place,
to place. When they (.ought lodging at
police headquarteis It was furnished them,
but they were Intonned the net morning
that they must leave for home, ns it was not
the desiie of the uunununlly to increase its
number of idle men
In addition to these men who were oi
deiert, and rlghtlv oidered, wo believe, lo
leave the city, there were a number of un
desirables, both black and white, caught In
the drag-net of the State and null police,
following tho start of what promised to be
a icign of terror hi the outl) lnB districts of
our cltj Robbeiks and holdups became fo
numerous that It became necesaiy to take
action to protect bfo and property, and as
a result of this about a dozen men who weie
not only idle, but who refused to work regu
hulj, were luuudoil up and Informed that
the fcpace which the.v occupied was desired
for more useful pui poses The men wero es
corted to the cltj limits and ordered not to
return.
As evidence that the right men were oi
dered from tho town wo need onlj slate that
since their depaituie Iheie bus not been u
Mngle robberj- or holdup In or aiound the
city.
These are the Tacts in the case. Coates
vllle is not deporting men who were brought
hero and given cniplojment In tho mills.
While there has been a suspension of woiK
ers, due to a decline In tho steel business,
t'oatesvlllo expects to do in this instance as
it has done In other Instances during dull
timet that Is, feed and clothe every one of
Us citizens, black or white, who are unable
lo piovlde for themselves.
'I he following statement bv A II. Swing
major of our city, explains biiefly just what
has been done:
"Tho handling of undesirables, both black
and white, who have been lenucsted to leave
the city of Coatesvllle, has been in nccord
nnca with the plans as outlined heieln hj
tho Chamber of Coinmcice."
We slncerelj trust that jou will give some
of jour space to this letter, in oider that
the truth may be placed befoie persons who
