Nancy Wynne Regrets the Death of Ralph Townscnd She
Tells of Her Experiences IVhcn Meeting a Part of the
Twenty-Eighth Down the Delaware
POOH little Anne TowiisrniU How one's
henrt goes out to lier. An orphan nt the
nge of fourteen! Her father, Unlpli Town
(end, illctt on Thursday after n long and
severe Illness. In fnct he never quite re
gained his strength nfter the nttnek of
sickness ho had at the time of his wife's
denth. You remember nbout two years apn
when Daisy Godfrey Townscnd, his beautiful
wife, died of pneumonia Sir. Townscnd
was desperately 111 with the snmo tllscnsc.
They were a most chnrmiig rouple and very t
(lev'oted, and every one feels so sorry for
their lovely little daughter Anne. 1 remem
ber when 1 wns growing up I used to think
that Mrs. Townscnd, then Daisy Godfrey,
wns one of the most beautiful girls I hall
ever looked upon. She used to go to Illt
tenhouse Square in the afternoon, and we
rhlldren who played there thought she wns
simply ton lovely for anything. She wns
tall and dark and had such beautiful teeth .
and the most winning smile, nnd she always
wore just the right clothes.
And besides her beauty she was one of
the most amiable girls of her age. Mr.
Townsend will bo buried today out in the
churchyard of St. James the Less, in Slana
unk. QJEVERAIi persons who have been staging
" over in Xcw York lately hnve told me
there is the greatest distress in circles social
over there because the famous Sherry's is
to be closed. Sherry's has been n pnrt of
New York for so long that it will be very
hard to find just the right plnce for the
parties that hnve always been given there..
They tell me it has been decided to hold
the Metropolitan Dawes at the Ititz-Carlton
next winter, and they are to be on Decem
ber 127, February 1-1, 1020. and April it,
1020. What they will do about the Junior
Assemblies is not yet settled, but the Ilitz
ballroom is not large enough. I'erhnps they
will go farther downtown again. Who can
tell? Anyway, I am sorry to think that it
will not be possible to get any of Sherry's
delicious food next time T go to Xcw Yoik
unless I race over there before May 17.
T WENT down the river the other day to
meet one of the incoming transports with
men of the Twenty-eighth Division aboard,
nnd will you believe me there was not a
bnnd there, not a sound of welcome. The
relatives 1 did not blniiie, for they were
anxiously looking for their own boys, but
my goodness! when you think of what our
boys in the Twenty-eighth Division did
"over there," how is it possible for a whole
thousand nnd more to return in the midst
of utter silence? "
One of them got quite sarcastic ns he
passed along nnd remarked. "Don't look so
gloomy. We really are glad to- get home
If you're not glad to have ns." f wps
nshnmed, but what noise could r make all
b.v myself? I began to clap and succeeded
in rousing one faint cheer, but that wns
nil. and jet we hear the city was wild
with joy. For goodness snke, let us yell our
lungs out next Thursday when these fine lads
parade and let them know that we are
mighty glad to hnve them home again.

SENATORS WILL PASS
ON BID FOR COLLEGE
Pharmacy Institution, Seeking
State Appropriation of $30,000
Inspected by Committee
Four members of the state Senate appro
priations committee returned to Hnrrisburg
today after ifaving visited the College of
Pharmacy and made a thorough inspection
of the institution. The members present
were Senators Frank E. Baldwin, Potter
county: H. W. Schauta. Lehigh county, and
S. S.Leily. Perry country.
For the first time in its career of nearly
100'cars, the college has u'ked the state for
an appropriation. It lias requested the Legis
lature to grant it S.'.O.OOO to cover" expenses
for two years. Additional financial out
lays because of the war have necessitated
the request. The college has taken con
spicuous part in war work, it has been
the center of important bacteriological work,
and has given practical elementary courses
in tlils and other branches of pharmaceutical
work to nearly 200 " naval hospital men.
There ari now thirty naval hospital men
in the institution tnking various courses.
Last February 1(12 naval men were gradu
ated from the college.
A large number of former students en
listed when the war started, aud the iu
ercascdcost of drugs for experimental work
has influenced additional "expenses which the
college has been forced to meet in the face
of a depleted treasury.
The Visiting Senators expressed unusual
interest in the work of the college, nud were
particularly impressed with the bacterio
logical course, which is pnrt of the pharma
ceutical education given the students. This
work has become highly important, in view
of the increased use of serums in the medical
world. The Philadelphia College of Phar
macy is the only institution of its kind in
the country that is equiped to give such a
course.
The college is equipped to accommodate
about 000 students, but only about 200 are
now enrolled.

a sergeant from Company II, lit Hi Infantry
(being one of the ntiilicucet asked permis
sion to say li few wolds. In his statement
he told the nudience Hint 1 was very much
mistaken in saying thut my battalion was
the first to go to the front, lint that u
platoon from Company II was the first
into action. This statement of his is en
tirely wrong, for there were plenty of lieu

was wrong. What 1 want i. if you will

"America to him." said Doctor Crothcrs,
"was the great spiritual revelation of a new
order. No Hebrew psalmist ever spoke of
Jerusalem iu more reverent terms than he did

Soprano in a Varied and
Difficult Program
Mine. Amelitn (inlli-Curci ngnln demon
strated her ability to fill to the limit of its
capacity Philadelphia's biggest auditorium,
for the Metropolitan wns crowded to the
dooi last night nnd 11 couple of hundred
persons were seated on the stage to lienr her
second rreitnl of the season.
In her work, as a whole, she strengthened
the opinion which was formed after her pre
vious recital appearance here. There was
the same smoothness of tone, the same fin
ished vocalization and ninazing technique,
notably in the more florid compositions. It
must lie ndmitted thnt nt times her voice
seemed tired, especinllv near the cloe of the
prngrnm. but this is not tcf be wondered nt,.
after the exactions of (lie long program,
filled as It wns with difficult numbers, nnd
sung nt the end of 11 long nnd severe season
of concert nnd operatic appearances. Mndnm
(inlli Ciirc-i nlo ngniti showed the good color
of her oic throughout the entire register,
and the only thing to be desired was perhaps
n little more power in certain ot the cli
maxes. Her I rill wns excellent, ns wns. in
fact, every element of her vocalization.
She opened the prngrnm with two old
songs, one French. "IAmour de moi," nnd
the other Kiiglish, "Shepherd, Thy De- j
niennor nry. She is decidedly not nt her
best iu songs of this character, and it muy
he 1 lint they were put on the program for
thn purpose of "warming up." In 'lie
aria which followed, "Ah noti cp'dcn" from
Melliiii's "Snnnnmbuln." Madnin Oulli Curci
did some of her best work of the evening,
nnd the freshness of her voice unci the purity
of her tone were shown to the greatest ud
vnntnge. Her reception b.v the nudience was
cordinl, but not ns enthusiastic- as (lie sing
ing deserved.
This wns followed by Menediet's "l.o.
Hear, the (ieutle Lark." sung with 11 flute
obbligato admirably played by Manuel Ileren
guer. This, being hugely in thirds, sixths
and imitated passages with the flute, wns re
ceived with 11 n outburst- of applause, which
the fine work of both artists deserved, their
ensemble being unusually accurate aud well
balanced. It was encored, and the first part
closed with four songs b.x Scott, Stiitzmanu,
Liszt and a delightful P.olero by Delibes.
The second part opened with two short
numbers for the flute, played with good tone -j
and siifticient technique by Mr. Merengucr.
lie was warmly applauded, but refused to re
spond, except by bowing his acknowledg
ments. Madam (Salli-Curci then sang n group
of three songs, two by her accompanist,
Homer Samuels, and the third by Muzzi
Peccin. In the encore which followed she
played her own accompaniment with con
siderable pinnistic skill. This again
"brought down the house." and she wns
obliged to sing ngain. Mr. Samuels insisting
this time.
After u few moments' rest, made neces
sary b.v her hurd work nnd the difficult tiiini-fiet-
to come. Madam liulli-Ciirci closed the
recital with a brilliant performance of the
famous coloratura aria commonly known as
the "Mad Scene from Lucia," also sung with
ilutc nblignto. The difficult nriu was finely
given by both singer and flutist, who were
nt nil times iu perfect accord as regards
tempo and tone balance, ns well ns whut
feeling it is possible to put into u piece of
music- designed for the express purpose of
exhibiting a voice. She was recalled n num
ber of times, hut did not sing ngniti.
