It dues, i i T THOt'CJHT .luditli .iennings looked awfully well looking out of the Victory Loan Itjinth at Thlrleenlh and Chestnut streets yesterday. Site is ery pretty, with a bright eolor and light. Huffy hair, and the uniform with the red fixings (she's nn K. A. A.) is most beeoming. Her brother, Arnold Iennings, has pome bark from overseas re rently with a whole lot of wonderful trophies and relics, which he exhibited in a window of one of (lip Chestnut street shops. I couldn't tell you what was in the collection, because every time I passed the place the crowd around the window vxm. about "throe deep," and while that is a lovely game for the very young,, it's not exactly appropriate for Chestnut street. Hut they do say there was one or more of those curious little "beasties" we heard so much about all through the war in the exhibition. rpALKiNG of exhibitions. 1 went to the private view on Monday night of the offi cial war pictures of the British (iovernntent. Thorp was a very smart receiving line -.Mrs. John Cadwalador, Mrs. Do Witt t'uyler. Mrs. Mason Campbell. Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson, Mrs. Henry Brinton Coxp and several others, Mr. Haymond Wyor. who is direclor of the Worcester Art Museum, is in cltnrge of the exhibition, and bo lectured nbouj it yesterday afternoon. He was extremely interesting.' and such a knowledge of art ! I saw him at luncheon at the Ititx before the lecture. He and Mr. Brinton were at a table with Mrs. Eli K. Price and .lean Bullitt. The picture that interested me most was that of the young woman who was an Aus trian spy. She was wonderfully clever and had pretty nearly every mnn in love with her. they say. They had a terrible time to catch her, but they finnlly did. and she was shot. Mr. Wje.r bad a very strange tale to tell of her. Ilis lecture wns altogether most in teresting. I SAW Ksther Howell 'Poland yesterday on Chestnut street. She is the most won derful looking person. She had on a sport suit of a soft green t lint was just exactly right for her ,n fact. I suppose that was the reason she bough! it fit usually is when people get those just exactly right tilings, only I think they're awfully hard to find sometimes, don't you? Well, to go back to Mrs. Toland. She wore a dark fur with this good looking suit and a close-fitting black straw hut with a turned-up brim close to the crown. HAVE you ov,er noticed the different ways people have of appreciating things? l-'or instance, you tell something rather good a piece of gossip, something utterly foolish that .von have done, something utterly ridiculous that somebody has said to one person, and she remarks in loud tones. "Ha. ha '." and you feel that she got jou. You toll it to some one else nnd she tcplies with a rather apologetic smile, "Is that o? How funny!" And then sometimes jou inept up with the onTwhclniing kind that cuts in. "Oh. yes; bill, my dear, wait until I tell you what I " and mi on. But the kind thai fills me with awe and makes me wonder if she really expects to go through life that way is the kind I beard yesterday. Somebridy told'lier an awfully clever retrt that a youngster made to an elder, and with out changing her expression or moving her gaze from the veil that she was arranging with great care she exclaimed: "Oh, my dear. I adore thai I think that's per-feet-ly lovely I simply love it I think that's per fectmy dear. 1 love it " And if slio hadn't been rudely interrupted at Hint cnu'inl moment she would be singing that monotone yet. v NANCY WYNNK.

'1 lie old plagues are to continue. Japan is dragooning the Koreans, England j, to continue dragooning the Irish, the Uiirdus and the Egyptians, while Belgium is to continue civilizing the Kongo. Every factor that made for the late war is lit remain in an intensified form. Peoples who never did anything for humanity or liberty, but wlm just happened to be subjects of certain empiras, have been raised to an inde peudent status, while other peoples, who. like the Irish, have spent their forces and icsources in liehalf of human liberty, are to In- given only the right of determining what alien government they must live under. The President told us not long ago that no peace could last, or ought In last, that did not recognize and accept the principle that all government derived its just powers ftoni the consent of the governed." Heiiye, governments otherwise established will not endure nnd do not deserve to endure. As suredly such a government will not endure in Ireland, and if any statesman at Paris thinks he can make it endure by the use of foive, then he i tragically mistaken. If the statesmen at Paris ignore Ireland or offer her less than the independence which she claim then it will be their funeral, not Iters. They have to settle the Irish ques tiottright or else they settle nothing except their own political fates. PADUA1C LAUAN. ', l'hiladelphia, April til. Housing and Taxation To llir Hditnr'nf llir Hiriiimj I'uhlir l.niijrr: sti, tend with a great deal of interest in voiir paper today what you had to say about "A Housing Suggestion." I was par-Ht-ularly interested in this your concluding paragraph : The merit in Air. Midler's suggestion lies in the fact that it would provide houses built without anticipation of Hie speculative profit fur which the ordinary building opera tor hopes. Similar housiug corporations ex ist in other cities nnd they earn a fair re turn on the money invested, while at tlip same .time providing shelter for families of moderate income at a price withiu their means," I believe you would be rendering your reader's a very valuable service If jou would print some fads aboyt these fuif-cessful hotis , IbgTorporatloDSjrqu speak about, pay ami hmv well they pay. If I wen- asked how to prevent or light Bolshevism would say "feed and house your people." If our teforniei-s wore as nun h concerned ,-ihoiil Hie houses thai the people lie in and the nun kels where they hunt their fund anil would talk less iiliniii what Ihcy drink ami how they would play ami what they do on Sun day, I make myself believe we would go forward much faster ami have fewer eccen tricities to babble about. Ill printing facts about these successful housing corporaliotis allow mo in suggest Ilia I it would be wise ami very valuable to give the render u good idea of the taxing ss teiu in Hie cities or towns whore these suc cessful corporations opeiale. Wilmington has its housiug prohl ami in my ow n-humble way 1 have given the matter a great deal of thought. Tu my miml, the housing problem is a taxation pioblem. In Wilmington Hiete is at least one hun dred and fifty millions of dollars of value which value ileiuanils schools, police, water, slieets, markets, sanitary conditions, etc The luxation appraisement in Wilmington is iiiiroimiitely ninny millions of dollars. Ninety -live per cent of that assessment any -how is real estate ami nearly all houses. Sixty million dollars of value in Wilming ton which demands as much and often more from Hie government of Wilmington than the ninety millions of real estate is escaping without paying any tax. Ileal estate is paying its own taves ami is also paying the laves of Ihc other value vvliiih is escaping without taxalion. Can you iinilerslaiid how this makes a housing problem? Do you see that this ev . plains why it is that tenant houses have mil been and do mil pioinis,. to be a piolitahle Investment I'm- those who might want to put their money into houses to renlV Do you think that if the tenant would think about this cjtiefully he niighl i ie lo the conclusion that (he men who make the lax laws in Wilmington or for Wilmington have made had houses and dear i cuts, for Wilmington 7 l not the housing question a taxation quest ion? I believe if all value which demands gov ernment in Wilmington would pay die same tax il would pay lo own houses in Wilming ton. 1 1 may pay to rent houses in Wilining ton since the war broke upon us, but it ii not pay before the wiir. and the man who would build houses in Wilmington today with the intention of renting them". should have a guardian appointed for him.

I.I llrlen I-iiIhi.1,1 tnn" The .Matinee Musical Club gave one of the most nmbilioiis performances of ils bistort last evening nt the Bollet-iie-Strntfoiil. with n success thai was due In alioul pipinl pto portions to good singing and acting, grm-o fill dancing, beautiful stage effects nod a sincere enthusiasm which dominated every note and action of both principals ami chorus. The perfoi manee was "The live of Isis." a music drama. Hie sienniio of which was written by Maude Weatherly Beamish, the lnusii- nri-nngeil and adapted by Helen Pulaski Innes nnd (he stage dil oction bt Mile. Louise I.e Cni The stort lii-ielly is that Isis, god doss of a sacred isle of tin- Nile, rises from Hie waters once each year on the nighl known as the Mte of Isis, and seeks a mortal lover. The day following is given over lo a fosti val in honor of Isis. and any marriage con siinimated in this day is especially blessed by the goddess. The ancient law makes il necessary for the bridegroom lo meditate alone upon this island on the night before the wedding. To the island accordingly comes Nebli. king of the Lgt plians. who on the following day is to wed Antibis, a princess of the Nile. Nis appears and sings to him, entreating him to go with her. Bewitched, he follows her and leaps inlo the sea. In I lie second scene. Nebli is asleep, when trumpets arouse him. lie awakes and rea lizes that il is all a drcaui and Hint his bride. Aiiubis. is about lo moot hint. The royal procession follows, tiriugiug Antibis, who sings of her eteinal detotiou, to which Nebli lesponds fervently. The High 1'iiest unites them and the festivities of the wedding feast close the drama. Mrs, Beamish iu her scenario carries out fa i lb fully Hie romantic idea of Hie Lgyptiau legend, together with Hie nrmosphere of the ancient days in which the scene is laid. The music has been skillfully chosen by Mrs. limes, with due legard to its proper place iu Hie drama as well as its tonal position, both as to voice and instruments. A notel and pleasing feature of the musical setting was I he accompaiiimenl of sonic of the dances of Mile. I.e llai with both voiles ami insiru iticnls. The principal parts were taken by Miss Blind Nietl i ilsisi. Mrs. I.oda Co fin-lb lAuubisi. Miss Lb-amir Moore iNep tu. a sea goill, Horace B. Hood iNebtil ami Allle. Louise I.e Cai lAHiore, a court danceri. Miss N'iethiiiiinier has a high, clear soprano of good lauge and great precision of intonation. Inn needing just a little more flexibility, which, however, mat hate been due to a slight iicrtoiisties... er opening solo and her duel with Nebli were very well done. Mrs. Col'oi'lh has an excellent tuice of oipiitl ipiality and power over its entire icgis ter. Like Miss iethaiuiiier, she has a fine stage preset and sang her introductory solo and the sue ding duel with Nebli xtilli excellent efl'ei I Miss Moore had but one solo, in the tirsi scene, when her line iiintrallo mice showed to good adiautage. Air. Hood, who took the only male i-luu actor of the drama, is too well known for both voice nml ni-liiig to need extemleil coin inont, except lo say that lie made a per sonable and thoiiitighly acceptable Nebli No small pari of the credit of the per forinance should go to the members of the chorus, who showed the results of the long mid severe training which they hate evi dontly had al Hie hands of .Mrs. limes. It Mils well balanced, the tone quality good ami never forced. Lxoellout incidental solos were sung by Miss Alary Morklee. .Mrs. Under Bast and Alis Anne I'.. Smith The solo dances of Mile. I.e Cai weie iiiliniralile iu their grace and skill and weie cordially received by Hie immense aiulicuie. Tlie stage settings were elaboiale and beautiful and many a grand opera has been given with less lealistic and eflectite s t tings. The night ofloi ts on the Nile, iib tlie waves breaking iu the disiame, were especially good, as was the lighting of the stage and Hie general scenery. The music was furnished by Hie Matinee Musical Club String Orcticslrn. with .Mrs. Nina I'retty man Howell al the head of the violins, and Aliss Helen Bootliroyd at Hie piano.
