vnnd Sarah Harrison nnd Gertrude
Dougherty, nnd apparently dozens of
boys who were much too Interested In
their companions to turn nrouud nnd
let thnt bird see who they were. How
ever, one was Percy Wilson, that
"pouch of n dancer," so the girls say,
and Henry Kobb.
I tell you who is nn attractive girl
in the younger set Monu Crozcr. She
nromises to be ns popular as her
mother ever was,, and don't forget thnt
Florence, hcrBungcr sister, is al
ready a close second, even though she
is only fifteen, for she looks older, and
she is awfully cute.
I
CANNOT sny that I was exactly
surnrised when 1 heard tliat Miss
Anne Mecnry was engaged to thnt good
looking mnjor of the engineers corps,
with whom I have seen her walking
several times. You know she went
overseas more than a year ago with
the Jefferson Unit nnd did splendid
work there. She came home about
twd months ago and lives nt -
Locust street with her mother,, Mrs.
John Mcgary, and her aunt, Mrs. Free
man. She is a sister of Mrs. Barry
Colahan, Mrs. Mnrkoe llivinus and
Mrs. Elliot Newlin. A fourth sister
"was Bessie Megary Kdson, who died iu
the last year while her sister was btill
in Europe.
Anne Meirnrv hns been awfully pop

interested to hear other engagement.

lately ben mustered out of the serv

DON'T you love that jade green

'.wearing a ginghnm frock of that lovely
shade made perfectly plain and finished
with one of the narrow sashes of the
material so fashionable this summer.
The round open neck and long sleeves
of the frock had white rutlles, nnd Miss
Brinton wore black stockings and pumps
and a wide -brimmed black strnw hat
made with a velvet crown and adorned
with a stiff black quill.
' Mrs. William Drayton Grange, who
is down at Cape May, has a feather of

with a very handsome dress of white

rr IS hard on you when you marry
and go nway for a while nnd get let
ters which are apparently full of news
and yet you can't just exactly always
read the writing. Witness the distress
of one young bride of several months
who, on receiving n letter from n tried
and true friend who writes conscien
tiously to her frequently, wrote to an
other friend nnd remarked: "I had a
letter from Ethel telling me of Molly's
engagement to but to save my life I
could not make out whether the man's
name is Fogg or Hogg. Her writing is
so fierce. I hope it's the former name."
Let us hope it was.

REJECTION OF CANTATAS

Some Members Criticize Refusal to Award Prize, Based on
Contention That No Music Submitted Was Worthy

jeetion of mnmiscripts in tho Mnnu- guages nt Central High School, this is

for the best enntatn on peace, with a ..TlP Manuscript Msirnl Club needs
stntement from thc judges that not one Vw blood. that wns the wnv one of
of thc compositions submitted was jt numbers of long standing, himself a
worthy of consideration, and thnt thc ' composer, expressed it today. - "It is
$100 prize would not be awarded. one of the oldest and best-known sorj-
The contest was open to composers nil I 'ties, of its sort in the country, founded
over the country, but it is understood primarily to further the interests of
that oulv three manuscripts were sub -
mitted, two of them by Philadelphia
orti-ts. Both of the hitter, according
to members of the club and nrtists iu
terestcd in the mutest, were worthy of
consideration nnd recognition should
hnve been gien ut least one of them.
It is believed thnt Stanley Addicks,
one of the judges, voted to award the
prize to Cnmillc Ccckwcr, vice president
of the society and a successful composer
nnd artist, but was opposed by Henry
Cordon Thunder nnd Cluiencc J. Baw
den, thc other judges.
The prize enntatn was to hnve been
sung nt thc Peace Jubilee in November.
One stipulation was that its execution
should consume between twenty nnd
forty minutes.
Too Long Is Criticism
"The only technicui criticism offered
by the judges of Mr. Zeckwer's com
position, according to my understand
ing," said Wilton W. Blnncke, who
wrote thc libretto for the cantntu. "was
that it was too long. I have carefully
timed the performance a number of
times nnd I have hcnid Zeckwer play
it in thirty minutes. In n few pluccs
he may hnve rendered it more rapidly
than it would have been when sung,
but, allowing for that, it could not take
more than thirty-five minutes for its
performance. So that criticism does not
hold.
"I must admit tliat thc only reason
I can see for failing to award the prize
to Zcckwer was professional jealousy
unless the judges nre willing to admit
stultified musical judgment. I have
studied music for twenty years, and.
while I nm not n professional musician,
in my opinion Zeckwer's cantata is a
thing of great beauty mid cxi ellcnce.
nnd ranks among the bst of his nianv
splendid compositions He certainly
knows technique nnd haimony. He is
no amateur. Several of his composi
tions have been given by the Phila
delphia Orchestra, 'and his cantatas
have been sung by the Straw bridge &
Clothier chorus. lie has published
more than fifty compositions of merit.
Judgment Bests on Music
"I feel at liberty to express uiys(.f
in this wav concerning the matter, even
though I am personally concerned, be
cause the judgment in such contests
rests almost wholly on the music rather
than the words. My part in the cantata
was a small one. I was keenly disap
pointed and indignant simply because I
believe nn injustice has been done Zeck
wcr. It Is not my opinion alone, either.
The cantata was heard by prominent
nrtists, both members of the society nnd
outsiders, who pronounced it excellent.
"Mr. Zeckwer has hesitated to take
up the matter, een though he felt the
Injustice, because lie thought it would
be unsportsmanlike. It is barely possi
ble that the decislou will ifbt hold.
Though the judges have announced it,
the mutter must be taken up by the
board of managers of the society and
voted upon by them before it is settled.
As the judges nre always appointed by
the board, that body usually accepts
tho decision without question. But
there is so much feeling over this among
the members that there may he some
controversy. There is n growing feel
ing that such contests, wlieie so many
local artists are concerned, should have
judges bclectcd from outside judges,
who will not be prejudiced. ,
No Ground for Charge
"i'ou understand that the judges hnve
a perfect right to come back iu this In
stance with the remark that the decision
wus rendered upon their personal judg
ment ot music, and they have a right to
their opinion. There is nothing tangible
to hang any accusations of jealousy
upon, but everywhere there is the at
mospherq ami the feeling."

' nrisic. to encourage local composers and
to g'ue the opportunities thnt might not
otherwise be open to them. But thc
petty controversies constantly occurring
within it nre disrupting musical circles
of Philadelphia. They are unbecoming
and undignified.
Put Jealousies First
"It has long been the cry of Phila
delphia musicians tljnt they do not
nttain locally and nationally thc
recognition due them. It is because the
aitists here nre too prone to sink their
artistic ability in small professional
jealousies and spite. If the natures of
some of the musicians concerned iu this
controversy nre so small they cannot
stand for otber Philadelphia artists to
receive notice, they should not he affili
ated with a society that is meant to en
courage all nritsts."
Artists interested in seeing the award
given Zeckwer. ngree the prize itself,
$100, is too insignificant to consider,
tliat it is the principle of the tiling
that lias caused the controversv.
"If thc Manuscript Musical Society's
aim is to encomnge artists." said one
member, "this is a poor way fo do it."
It is understood in musical circles
that Miss Frances McCoIliu, a young
blind artist, who last year won n prize
offered by thc Manuscript MiisirnI Club,
was thc other Phlladelphinn to submit a
cantuta in this contest. The other
competitor was from outside the citv.

nnd burned by the explosion, he crawled
nn his hands nnd knees and succcdiiig
in closing the breech of the left eight
inch gun, nn net that prevented the
blow ling up of the rcirret, ns the breech
wns open.
Flame, smoke and gases filled the
little superstructure, but Fone. with
rare presence of mind, knew thnt if the

disastrous explosion would result.
When taken out of tho timet Feme's

bears the scars of tiie powder burns.
"We were firing at a rapid rate lie
fore the explosion happened," Fone
said, "and the order had just been given
me to set the sight of n gun when I
suddenly saw a big (Initio of light. I
wns spellbound and thought the turut
would blow up.
"The heat was fearful. Even my
shirt wns burned off my bafk. All my
st length left me. nnd yet I tried to
get near enough to the eight-inch gun
to fire it. The l.rro li was open, and
r.s soon us I could gel to it I closed it.
