Nancy Wynne Talks of Committee Class Meeting at Bellevue-
Stratford Last Night She Hears That Heath
' ' Bannard Is Made Captain
fTUI15 "Committee Class was great last
nlghtf Just lota of fun, and so many
dinners' before Hie party that I'll say every
body who belongs to the ciass went to some
"cats" somewhere before. Catherine Coxe
looked particularly pretty. She has -such
exquisite feature's, don't you think? Aris
tocrat Is Written all over her; but don't
think from that she's a snob, becauso she
Isn't; she's perfectly charming.
Another pretty sub-deb Is Elizabeth Bar
tow, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Bartow, She had a dinner before the
dance last night and certainly looked a
picture with her bright color and laughing
eyes when she and her guests entered the
ballroom, t see the Von Sljauenseu boys
,are going arotinu a lot. They are staling
with their grandmother, Mrs. Robert To
land. Their mother, who was Miss Matilda
Toland, has come on here to stay with her
mother. The boys are very attractive.
They were guests at the Owen Wlster din
ner before the class. 4
They have many cousins here in the
Dale and Toland connections and are bound
to have a good time for their own sakes
anyhow.
1 was r.mused to think that in the Sat
urday evening class there were three girls
who, though not out, are already engaged
and their engagements are announced, to
say nothing of several we think ure en
gaged but about whom no announcement
lias yet been made. It's the war, of course,
as otherwise they would have come out,
and evcu If engaged It 'vouid not have
been announced until after (lie year of
social doings. The three I refer to were
guests of the Henry Thompsons, of Wil
mington, at tho Bellevue-Strutford before
the dance: Mary Olendlnning, who.se fiance
is Morris Freeman; Marys Clark, who is
engaged to Georgo Harrison Fruzlcr, Jr.,
and Phebe McKcan Downs, who Is enguged
to a young Mr. Sargent, of New Haven or
somewhere In Conne'ctlcut, I could not Just
swear where. Well, It was great last night,
as I &aid before.
GOOD night! Two more rummage sales
In the offing! One next week ut 1725
Chestnut street on Wednesday and Thurs
day, and this Is for the benefit of St. Anna's
Home for Aged Women at 2016 llace street,
which is cared for by the Sisters of St.
Margaret, an Episcopal sisterhood, you
know. I hear this sale Is to be quite un
usual, as the committee has had such a
remarkable number of perfectly new dona
tions. Then tho second affair opens on
April 9 at 809 Chestnut street, and will bo
for the social service work of the Jefferson
'Hospital.
DID you hear that Heath Bannard, "Jr.,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Heath
Bannard, of 2302 De Laneey street, has
been made a captain In tho 3I0th Field
Artillery?' And I hear he also Is acting
battalion adjutant. He's with the army of
occupation In Grlncourt, France, at present.
Heath was originally a City Trooper and
sorved with tho troop on the Mexican bor
der three summers ago. On leaving there
he was commissioned a second lieutenant
of cavalry. He went through the officers'
training camp at Fort Niagara, and was
then commissioned a first lieutenant in the
field artillery and assigned to the 310th
Field Artillery, Seventy-ninth Division, at
Camp Meade, From there ho went to the
school of fire at Fort Sill, Okla., thence to
France In July of last year, and over there
went through the officers' artillery school
at La Contlne.
Heath's sister, Margaret, married Ted
McCawley, you remember. He's In the
navy, and so when he's on the seas Mar
garet and their baby stay mostly with the
Bannards In this city. They have been
married about three years, I think; maybe
more.
OUK returning soldiers certainly have
some wonderful tales to tell. One of
tho members of a Philadelphia regiment
was coming Into headquarters with two
German prisoners.' The prisoners were
t walking ahead and he was following with
hlu rifle and pack. They came" to a trench
and the Germans Jumped it, but when our
man jumped ho fell In, for his rifle and
pack were too heavy. Well, do you think
thnsn Hermann ran? Not n. bit nf if. Thpv
climbed down into the trench, helped our
Uhero up and, finding ho had broken his arm,
one took his gun and the other his pack
and they proceeded on ahead while he fol
lowed, holding his arm with the other one.
When they reached a dressing station
,t the- two prisoners stood outside and refused
to give themselves up to any one else to
to take them back to the lines. No, .they
were his prisoners, and so they waited
patiently until his arm was set and then
f they started off again, carrying his things
for him until they reached the lines and
he handed them over to the authorities and
was himself sent to the hospital for fur
ther treatment. Can you beat it?

SAME VIEWS ON DEMOCRACY
Lincoln and Wilson Attitudes Identical, Say
Girard College Head
Lincoln and ' Wilson as exponents of
identical views on democracy were compared
in a lecture last night by Dr. Cheesman A.
Herrlck, president of Girard College Doc
tor Herrlck spoke In the Rodef Shalom
'Synagogue, Broad and Mount vernon streets.
"Lincoln in his time, the trying days of
the Civil War, exercised keen foresight,"
said Doctor Herrldj, "In that he had but
one ideal and that was to preserve the Union
of the States. He embodied the highest
Ideals of American democracy In his acts,
and should be credited with the splendid con
tribution America has made In the success
ful prosecution of the great world conflict.
"Thus we can liken our present President
to Lincoln In that the two men have showed
thnt the same Ideals and antecedents guided
them.
"Wilson'8 efforts to hava matters amicably
adjusted between nations today are Identical
with Lincoln's efforts to have matters ad
justed between the several states of this
country during the Civil War."

RUSSIAN GIRLS SEND
GIFT TO SCHOOL HERE
Handkerchief Made by Children
to Be Prize for Best Letter
of Thanks
From far-away Archangel, in bleak Rus
sia, a handkerchief made by little Russian
girls has come to this city through the
Junior Red Cross and has been turned over
to the Holmes School, Fifty-fifth and Chest
nut streets, by Henry J.-Gedeon, thalrman.
This gift of the little Russians Is to he the
basis of a rather keen competition among
the hoys nnd girls of the school, for each of
them is to be asked to write a letter of
thanks, nnd the best is to be sent back to
the llttlo children In Archangel.
The letter, too. will be n recital of the
manner In which the school children of this
country live and work and study, an object
lesson to the little ones abroad of how their
'American cousins gain their education and
live their ordered lives.
Incidentally, the hlstorj of this handker
chief that hns traveled thousands of miles
to Its new owners la rather dramatic, and Is
told In the following fnshlon by Captain D.
C Lively, of tho Red Crass, In a letter writ
ten on January 17 In Archangel:
"My Dear Sir The American Red Cross, in
addition to its duty to the American troops
In north Russia, has Instituted In Its civilian
work a plan of giving hot lunches to the
undernourished school children.
"The Russian children, who are deeply
appreciative of tho friendship of America
have almost swamped American Red Cross
headquarters with toys, mostly ,the result of
their own handiwork, to bo sent to the chil
dren In America, and always these gifts are
accompanied by requests for letters from
American children.
'Among the schools of Archangel nre a
number of orphanages. At the Christmas
treo celebration of the Alexandrotsk Orphan
age, to which the American Red Cross ofti'cer
who looks after the school lunches was In
vited, an address was delivered by one of
the girls, who. after expressing the sentiment
of Russia toward America and the Red Cross
presented a number of dainty hand-worked
handkerchiefs to be sent to American chll
dren. "I am sending the handkerchiefs to you
under separate cover In the hope that tnev
may be distributed to certain schools. There
are only fifty of them and I realize that In
some way it will be necessary to select the
schools nnd tho children who are to receive
them. I am sure, however, that you will
know how to make this selection,"

JASTR0W SHOWS HOW
EAST AND WEST DIFFER
Kipling's Couplet Chosen as
Theme for Houston Hall Lec
ture This Afternoon
Pioftssor Morris Jastrow, Ji in a talk
at Houston Hall, University of Pennsylvania,
this afternoon those for his BUbJect Kipling's
famous couplet .
East Is east and west is west,
"And never the twain shall meet "
Professor Jastrow showed that this state
ment wns onlv half true and gave Illustra
tion of the way In which the East and West
are continuallv meeting nnd have mutually
Influenced end othoi.
The East, said Doctor .lustlow, "gives
us religion and the West, science."
'The speculative element In religion Is larg
elv the contribution of the western spirit
which finds its most notable expression in
the philosophical systems of the Greeks.
"The contrast between Hast nnd West may
be seen likewise In literature Tho East
does not aim In the literary expression to re
produce life In Its lenllty. but to color it,
to give It a lomantic aspect Romano is
not Indigenous in western literature. In
place of It we have the drama, vvhlcli Is
the endeavor to Interpret life In its reallt.
Its lights and shadows. (There is no drama
In ancient eastern literature, except as a
icflectlon of westein Influence).
"In ait. the East gives us elaborate decor
atlon, the West gives us beauty through
proper proportioning.
"P-splte 'hese contrasts the East has al
wnvs iieen a magnet to which the West has
been attracted, and the history of civiliza
tion for the past two mlllenlums and more
is largelj the history of the meeting of East
nnd West Civilizations, nnd rePglons arise
In the East and move ns though impelled by
an Irresistible force westward. The West
produces new forms of man's restless am
bition to espress himself in art, In literature,
in science, forms of government, in Indus
trial and commercial achievements, nnd In

SECOND CONCERT AT U. OF P.
Philadelphia Orchestra to Repeat Program
at Weightmun Hall '
Encouraged by the success of the concert
given by the Philadelphia Orchestra at the
University of Pennsylvania recently. Direc
tor Leopold Stokowaki has consented to give
a second concert In Welghtman Hnll April
10. This was announced today at the Uni
versity A novel feature of this second concert
Is the choice of program by means of a
vote taken among the student body. Doctor
Stokowskl will name a number of sympho
nies .and a like number of overtures from
which the students can choose those they
would like most to hear. The list of compo
sitions will be made public next week.
This concert, like the first, will be under
the auspices of the Franklin Society. John
Lovltt, a Junior In the college, will have
charge of the arrangements. Dates and de
tails are niso under consideration by the
committee for a series of from four to six
concerts to be held on the campus next
year.

RACHMANINOFF AGAIN
SCORES GREAT SUCCESS" i
Great Pianist Plays His Own Con-l
t;cno wim ine urciicsira.
Rahaud Symphony Given
Set gel Rachmaninoff, gigantic alike In
physlquo and in musical personality, was
the feature of yesterday afternoon's concert
of the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Acad
emy of Music. He played his own concerto
In F sharp minor with an orchestration J
which he revised after his flight from the
Russian Bolshevlkl
Tho concerto Is his flrBt published work,
being opus 1. u was composed before he
was nineteen years old and Is an astound
Inglv mature work for that age, considered
simply from the thematic material and tho
way In which It is developed, without re
gard to the revised orchestration. Even at
that tlmo the concerto bears the hallmark
of the mature Rachmaninoff In Its serious
ness of f'hnracter. its melancholy, though
without the hopelessness which character
izes so much of the modern Busslan music,
nnd In the mngnlflcent musical workmanship
with which It Is carried out.
As the concerto stands, It will compare
favoiably with the second, the one In C
minor, which Mr. Rachmaninoff placed here
some time ago with the Boston Orchestra.
There Is In the first perhaps a little more
elasticity of thought, as shown by tho
stronger contrasts of the main themes, but
the second is the more homogeneous in Its
entirety. The new orchestratloh played yes
terday is very effective, especially In the
use of the various melodic Instruments, In
their tonal relation to the piano nnd to each
other, besides being conservative In the
dynamic qualities. ,
Mr. Rachmaninoff's playing has been dis
cussed In these columns several times this
season, and yesterday's performance gave
no reason to change in any way the high
estimates then given. Great as a pianist,
he Is still greater as a musician, and It la
this quality in his playing that gives him
a peculiar position among the leading pian
ists of the present day. He plays like a
composer, with his thought always concen
trated on the composition aB a whole and
not nlone on his solo part Beauty of tone
and technique he hns In abundance, but In
his playing the artistry of Interpretation Is
so much the predominating element that tha
hearer never considers the mechanics. Ho Is
unquestionably one of the greatest Interpre
tative as well as one of the greatest creative
artists of the musical world.
The concert opened with Lalo's "Rapsodle
Norveglenne." a work of much melodic and
harmonic charm, and excellently played. In'
spite of the title tho composer has contrived
to convey tho atmosphere of southern
France or Spain, not so much In the the
matlc material ns In the persistent uso of
the Bolero and other Latin rhythms aa
well ns in the exotic orchestration.
After the concerto Mr. Mattson announced
that Mr. Stokowskl, who has been Buffering
with grip, felt himself exhausted and had
asked Mr. Rich, the conceTtmelster and as
sistant conductor, to lead the symphony.
For the Becond time in two weeks Mr. Blch
assumed the baton nt a moment's notice nnd
conducted with Bklll and understanding.
The symphony was that in E minor, by
Henri Rahaud, conductor of the Boston Or
cheHtra. It Is a fine work, having much
more of the real svmphonlc spirit than most
French works of this character and Is ar
tistically worked out and orchestrated. The
second and third movements are the moat
attractive. The second Is a tuneful slow
movement of much beauty of melody, and
the third a Hvcly, Joyous scherzo. The first
and last movements nre In strict form and
are scholarly, though perhaps with not quite
the melodic Inspiration of the middle move
ments. Tho entire composition Is a splendid
example of tho conservative modern French
Bchool. being sane in thought, harmony and
composition, while retaining all the poetry
nnd the distinctive nationalism of the com-
