Nancy Wynne Tells of the Good Times Members of the School
Set Arc Having More Plmis Arc Ready
for Indoor Horse Show
IT BOUNDS to mo as If Charlotto Starr
is bound to have ono dandy tlmo during
her holidays this spring. Tho Edward
Farnums gave a dinner for her last night
and tonight there Is to be a theatre party
and a supper at tho Bellevuc-Stratford
which her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore
Starr, will give. Charlotto Is an exceed
ingly good-looking girl and lias a great
deal of her mother's vivacious and charm
ing manner. Sho Is at boarding school this
year at the Low-Iieywood school and only
comes home for holidays. She has brought
with her Kathryn Elston to spend tho
spring holidays ' with her. Young Miss
Elston is from Honolulu and comes on hero
for school. Sho Is a very attractive girl
they tell me, and Is sharing all tho holiday
fun with Charlotte and her friends.
There'll bo the Merlon Cricket Club
dance on Monday night, which Is under
tho auspices of the young school sot you
know and then March 28 there'll bo the
extra danco given by tho Committee class,
bo thero's quite something doing for tho
school set In spite of Lent.
TVTT DEARS 1 Did you hear what they
" made at tho St. Edmond's Homo rum
mage sale? It's tho largest amount from
any rummage sale yet, I'll wager, $17,
000. Why, I think Its wonderful, don't
you? Of course, they had marvelous things,
clothes and Jewelry and books. At tho
book counter alone, they made $1500, sell
ing many books at five, ten and fifteen
cents each.
I think it's simply marvelous. And they
certainly did have wonderful things for
halo Such lingerie and such hats and
frocks. I don't see how any ono could
bear to give them up, half of them had
only been worn once or twice and some,
not at all. I'm so glad for tho little cripples
at the home It will be such a help!
YOU know the members cf the Philadel
phia Orchestra give jtut one popular
concert during the wholo season. It's al
ways given at tho Stetson Auditorium, on
Montgomery avenue between Fourth and
Fifth streets. This year's concert Is to
bo given on Tuesday night, and tho pro
gram sounds most attractive for instance
the Valse Trlste, and the Peer Gynt Suite,
and I hear that Mae Ebrey Hotz Is to bo
the soloist, and that she is going to sing
the aria, "Un Bel dl Vedremo," from Ma
dame Butterfly. This concert Is an annual
affair for the benefit of tho. Stetson Hos
pital, and io under the auspices of the
Associate Board of women. The audi
torium up there Is an endrmous place and
the orchestra fills it gloriously. I heard
the concert last year and "I'm here to
state" that it was well worth the trolley
trip up there. Thaddeus Rich conducted
last year and I believe he's going to do it
again.
IF YOU'RE planning to be an ehibitor at
the Indoor Horse Show at the Third
Regiment Armory, on the eighth, ninth and
tenth of May, you'll be glad to hear that
the stables directly opposito the armory
have been fixed up and will be at the dis
posal of any one who has thoroughbreds
entered In the show.

getting ready, although it is so early and

JOSEF H0FMANN GIVES
GREAT PERFORMANCE
Matchless Artistry Shown in His
Playing of Liszt Concerto
With the Orchestra
One of the world's greatest soloists one
of the finest of all sjmphonles and what if
certainly Berlioz's best oerture. If not in
deed his best orUiestral work, made up the
program of the Philadelphia Orihestr.i at its
concert at the Academy of Music estcrda
afternoon The lneitablo result was one of
the most enjoyable concerts of the year.
Josef Hofmann, in the Liszt concertp In
i: flat for piano and orchestra, was the hero
of the concert. Xeer has Mr. Hofmann
plajed better than he did jesterdaj. i:ery
quality that goes to m.ilie the perfect artist
he had in full measute His lhythmlc sense,
in which he Is not surpassed. If he Is equaled,
by any man now on the concert platform,
his tone, powerful or delicate as occasion
demanded, and vet aluais full of color, his
immense technique, and most of all hW pei
fect artistry In Inteipietatlon, made his ren
dition of the Liszt concerto one long to be
remembered
He neer plajs for effect and his whole
attitude toward the composition and toward
the audience In that he is the medium
tluough whom the composer's ideas are
being expiessed, injecting his own musical
personality to the exact point where he can
ghe a thoroughly individual reading and yet
never making the concerto a means of self
exploitation Such is the artistry of Josef
Hofmann, and in his hands tho Liszt 'Tri
angle" concerto was given such a perform
ance as it is not often the privilege of an
audience to hear. The orchestral accompani
ment was discreet and sympathetic.
The overture which opened the concert was
the "Carneval Bomaln" of Berlioz, a work
of much more melodic ami harmonic value
thematlcally than Berlioz usually wrote,
while retaining all the gorgeous orchestra
tion of which ho was so consummate a mas
ter The work was plajed with great spirit
by the orchestra.
The symphony came last on the program,
being Dlaced after the concerto It was the
exquisite No. 2 of Brahms, in D major, a
work full of the most delicate and yet pro
found sentiment and of great melodic beauty ,
in short, one of the best orchestral works
that has ever been composed Like the over
ture, It was splendidly performed, both In
terpretation nnd performance being thor
oughly sympathetic and in full keeping with
the majestic but et lovely character of the
work.
Mr. Stokowskl was taken ill ii the morn
ing and Thaddeus Rich, concertmelster of
the Orchestra, conducted in his place. Too
much credit cannot be gleu Mr. Itlch for
his excellent work. He was not notified until
shortly before noon that It would bo neces
sary for him to lead, and therefore he was
obliged to conduct the dilllcult and Intricate
accompaniment to the concerto and read a
symphony requiring great musical feeling
and Insight (for there are many places In
which the characteristic orchestration of
Brahms Will become "muddy" If not intelli
gently directed) with virtually no prepara
tion. He performed his dilllcult task ex
ceedingly well and thus achieved the unique
distinction of appearing as soloist and con
ductor at two successive concerts.

lithographs to $3000 examples of the work
of Georges Scott, the famous ll'ystrator
of 1 Illustration " The plctuies aie all for
sale.
The exhibit is being held for a two-fold
purpose, explained Sergeant Robert Lortac,
a member of the famous Blue Devils, who Is
In charge of the exhibit, and who Is a well
known painter himself
It is to obtain funds for the benefit of the
many French artists who were wounded and
incapacitated for the further following of
their profession, and to show to the American
people how, like eveiy other t.on of France,
the artist of France laid down his biush for
the rifle when the great call came
The exhibit, which Is constantly being
augmented, has already visited ne.irlj a
dozen cities In the United States. In Chicago
the sale-, amounted to 20,000 The exhibit
Is unique and fascinating
Sergeant Lortac wears both the Jlilltarv'
Medal and the Croix de Cluerre In the
attack on Xotre Dame de Korette Ma 27,
1915, he was severely wounded and spent
eighteen months In a French hospital, He
spoke feelingly today of that great battle and
of the young French bojs whom he was
leading into battle as "chicks who wanted to
stay close to their mother." i:erv bov of
his section was captured that night in a
German counter-attack
"The exhibit which we are holding in
Philadelphia," he said, "Is such as can neer
be seen ngaln. The pictures aie the works
of boys In the twenties and old men neai
ing sixty, every one of whom became a
plain French soldier just because everjbody
in France became a soldier. The paintings
lie documents of scenes which nobodv else
can ever see. They have nlread passed
aw as . ,
They reveal the life of the man in battle,
In heroisms and in death. These men I
mas sas, we painters, for I was theie. too
painted what their eyes had seen Theli
wrks are living documents of these great
and tiafclc events They aie not finished
paintings as we might expect in peace times
They are more than that. They reveal the
depth of feeling, the Incomparable Impres
sion of actual happenings It may be one,
five, ten years before the French painter
will return to the old technical btandards,
but when the' do they will take their ln
plratlon from the works which these paint
ers have done beneath bursting shells and
behind the lines of battle."
Tomorrow at 5 30 p. m , In the opening,
exercises of the exhibit, Mr. de Billy, deputy
French High Commissioner, will deliver an
address. There will be other features Ad

To fiei Eitilor of the Hieninp PuhUe l.rdgtr:
Sir As bend of a home who has to
pay for coil consumed eight tons for $72
I hm much Interested In some of tho letters
which npieenr In the Evenino Punuc
LKnoisn, Thnt we have the pleasure of read
ing Oliver McKnlght's letters Is due to sour
generoslt' of space I would like to sas
this In passing, that McKnlght writes a bet
ter nrtlclo than somo who are paid for the
space thes" consume
But to return to our coal Why doesn't
Governor Sproul get ex-Governor Edwin
Stuart In a corner at tho Union League
sometlmo and ask him why It la that the
Glrard estate, of which the ex-Governor Is
a trustee, exacts such a high rosnlts" per
ton for coal from land owned by the Gliard
Estate"
Hero we have the funnv situation of a
"free college" run for poor boss and the
poor bos s' mothers being "soaked" for the
coal thes bus to pvramld profits for the
Glrard estate Isn't it a grand thing' Heres
a writer In sour paper who sass pea eoal
retalletl for ?3 50 a ton twent-nve venra
ago, while jesterdtv I pild JO 10 1 would
ask is there any one outside of the operators
who can explain this big advance In price"
Whv doesn t Governor Sproul get the
power to take over one of these mines and
have the state run it for a time, to see just
whit It costs to get coal from the mine
to cellnis of the consumers" That would bo
some action, nnd would bent all the com
missions that nre ever appointed Action Is
what the people want and not talk These
coal companies that have their coal
'S.ird"(") down in the big buildings ne.u
Broid nnd Chestnut streets might have to
close their "sards (7) if this were done
Mr McKnlght wants the people at elee
tlons to show their will Vvell, ns long as
you have voters being "assisted' to vote
and the Republican machine has a standing
majorlts of 10,000 officeholders before the
polls open, I am very doubtful that Oliver
McKnlght or Miss Annie Oakley will evel
see an reform accomplished

Sir I second Socratcs's motion for a
Whitman celebration Respondez' Responded1
Let eveiv one answer
Let those that sleep be waked "
' Remember, government Is to subserve in

'The proof of a poet shall be stcmls de
ferred uutil his countrv absorbs him as
affectlonatels- as he lias absorbed it '
Has Philadelphia absorbed Whitman"
I doubt it, nnd the only wav to prove it
will be as sou suggest tr and awake those
who have an interest In Whitman observe
his centennial
Will sou accept a suggestion from me'
Let tile bridge aeioss tho Delaware (when
built) be named the Whitman Bridge and
on evciv pillar that supports it be placed a
tablet with eiuotatlons from Whitman, so
those- that pass can read them.
