Ti JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE Nancy Wynne Attends the Second AssemblyShe Talks of the Parties for Valentine's Day Sewall's Invitations Are Recalled n BALLY i I (lb think to ride through '.tithe dirty streets on a night like last night, with the specter of grippe on all sides, through the still rcmnlning Hack snow, and then to step down the stairs into thnt foyer nnd on into the ballroom of the Bellevue-Strntford was like going into fairyland. Somehow out side even though one was protected In n car from 'the cold nnd streets, it seemed so black and dark nnd lowering and, once Inside and divested of wrap, jt was another world. And such n nrettv world ! For the ballroom wnrf n nrorv'el of pink and pule yellowish blooms, nnd the great ferns and palms rave a solid background to the lighter flowers. Then the Meyer Davis Orches tra does make you feel as jazzy as pos sible, doesn't it? Mrs. Henry Brinton Coxe, as I told von, took the late Mrs. Cassatt's place in the receiving line. She looked ex tremely well, I thought, nnd, of course, Mrs. 'Trenchnrd Ncwbold nnd Mrs. Aleck Yarnnll were stunning, as they always are. Little.Mrs. Pepper was ill, jou know, nnd so Mrs. Beau Borle.'Jr.. received in her place. She wns Miss Nannie Ncwbold. you remember, nnd is an aunt of Dickie Newbold, who is among the season's buds. Somehow I think every one felt extra tad about Mrs. Cassatt's death last night. Not that she had been at the first assembly because, you remember, she was too ill to come to the bnll then, and Jlrs. l'cm Hutchinson received in her place but at that time we .had hoped she might get better, nnd instead the died n week later. And now her granddaughter, Lois, has lost her wee babv through death, so it wns sad to think of. Most of the debs who hnd not gone to the South or elsewhere for a rest were! at the ball and n great many of the younger married people. The dancing was splendid, for there wbb more room and somehow you just kept on nnd on till the wee sma' hours. Only one ball more now, and then a much-needed rest, after one of the fullest seasons in the way of social doings for many a year. rpHEHE will be n lot of Valentine -L parties today. Some really for the day and others just by chnnce. For instance, in the younger set there will be a party at the Philadelphia 'Cricket Club tonight, given by the Tom Gatescs for their son, Tom, Jr.. and Mary Clark, daughter of the Percy Clarks, of Cyuwyd. will have a party, too. An other affair will bo the afternoon party that Mrs. Richard Norris will give for her little daughter Grace at their home, on Twentieth street. And then this afternoon there will be the performance of Cinderella, which jou probably went to every year when you were small. It's to be given at the Metropolitan and Mrs. Bob Montgom ery, Mrs. Cap Morris, Mrs. George Stout. Mrs. Langdon Len, Mrs. Thomas Potter, Jr., and several other women will gie box parties for their children. The older affairs will be n theatre party, preceded by a dinner, for Cath erine Morris, which her uncle and nunt, Mr and Mrs. J. Bertram Lippincott, will give, and then the Harry Thnyers will entertaiu at the theatre and supper afterward for Polly Thayer, their niece. pjID jou know that the Arthur Sew--' alls have recalled their invitations for a dinner-dance on Monday night for Jane Yeatman? It appears sbc slipped on the ice and sprnined her ankle. I'm glad for her sake that it was not a break ; that is so hard to re cover from, but a sprain when prop erly bandaged does not last very long. Jane, ns you know, is a daughter of the Pope Yeatmans nnd is n debutante ot this year. It's too bad. after n season of so much fun, to have to miss the second Assembly, a dinner-dance given in jour own honor and the Bal Masque, too, isn't it? pWERY now and then one thinks thnt j-1 one has heard about the rudest thing than can have been done at a party and then one bears of a worse one. The latest quite paralyzed me, for why, I &sk. did those giving the party allow it? Suftiee it to sny that at a party given for members of the younger set recently a certain j-oung man wns asked to lead the cotillon. Well, be did, so what June you got to say about that. Nancy? Oh. well, yes, he did ; he stood in the middle of the room nnd called out the fi&urjs and named those to dance in jach. and all the while between his lips he wore a cigarette. I think he wore it lor his manners, which were far. far way NANCY WYNNE.

Beard, of THE CRITIC TALKS TO MUSIC LOVERS, Weekly Comment on Things Musical in Discriminating Philadelphia WHEN the Philadelphia Orchestra nnd Chorus gave the first American presentation of the Eighth Sjinphony of Gustav Mahler some years ago, it wns declared that the feat then achieved by iir,'i Kto,iowski nnd his men hnd "put Philadelphia on the musical map." A few perhaps cynically disposed resi dents of this city, who had followed the progress of the nrt hero for many years, were inclined to believe thnt tho part piuyea oy Philadelphia in the develop ment of music hnd heretofore been quite on a level with thnt of some other great cities who ure moderate in achievement but excessive in noise. At the same time, it must bo admitted thnt this achievement of Mr. Stokowski probably did more than any other one thing in the last thirty years to bring Philadelphia prominently to tho front ns n grout musical center, largely be cause of the great amount of publicity which resulted from it ns well ns" its dis tinctive character musically. ,IVlt if t,ie Performance of the Mahler Eighth did this, what is to be the effect of the first American presentation of the remarkably significant symphony "The Bells" by Rachmaninoff, which took place in the Academy of Music last week? It is true that the latter work does not require the tremendous re sources, especially vocal, which the unhlor demanded, nnd therefore it is far more likely to have many more hearings in the future in other cities, for this reason if for no other. BTtm . ,. I UT musically considered, the Bach- inruiinnfT composition seems, after three hcniings. to be considerably in ad vance of the former named choral svm- phouy. It always seemed doubtful to the writer, who heard the work every time It was given in Philadelphia, The two remaining numbers -will be Tschal whether the musical thoughts contained vnc'hl0 iu ....tn-i n .13 iiijuiuiij J.UU.Y jusuneu tne enormous forces reouired to nresent it. r, in fact, whether the genius of Mahler made the employment of such forces necessary. But there can be little doubt in the case of the Rachmaninoff svmnhonv. unnier was writing far over the. heads i nf ,n.i r t ! , ,. of most of his hearers, and there wns I even considerable doubt as to the exact I meaning of the work among the leading musicians nf tlm nlfv fmm hr.U o nei- ' musicinns ot me city, from both a psj - iiiuiuKiiui unu u musicui viewpoint, a i doubt Which the music itself did little I if anything to dispel.

They nre used solely as a meuns and never as an end. Another point in which "The Bells" stands nlone in the literature of choral and orchestral music, at least in such literature as is known to tho ordinary concertgoer, is that it is tho only work in which the voices have prominent parts in nil of the movements ; iu this it is a real symphony, and not a symphony with a choral appendage. If the writer's memory serves him correctly, it was the great innovator, Beethoven, who first conceived the idea of u "choral symphony," the result being the mighty Ninth. But even hero the voices are used only in the last of the four movements, the first three being in regular orchestral symphonic form. The joining of the voice parts with the orchestral movements, it is said, gave Beethoven moro trouble than nnything else connected with the composition of the work, the final solution being the rccitntive for cellos and bassos, lead ing to the introductory baritone solo. SINCE that time composers of choral symphonies bnve followed the model of Beethoven, though not always with 133 Albnnus street, nnd Mr. Warren B. Cressman, of 3.r20 North Eleventh street, will take place at 0:30 o'clqck on Wednesday evening, February 25, at the home of the bride's purents.

It is true thnt it would be hard to find n better model for any com poser than Beethoven, especially In or chestral work, although his vocal parts aro frequently almost unsingnble; but there is such n thing ns following u model too closely. It has remained for Rachmaninoff to develop something new in a choral sym phony, for in his work the voices take a prominent part in each movement, nl though by reason of range nnd other un avoidable limitations it is impossible for them to do much in the line of thematic development, which is the very basis of sonata form composition. In nny case, the voice parts iu a choral work is inva riably the most conspicuous one, ns it properly should be, and what' develop ment of themes there is in such a work must, to a very large extent, be in the orchestral parts. In nny case, however, "Tho Bells" is a seemingly sound depnrture from the ncceptcd form of choral symphonic works. There is nothing in it which can possibly give offense to symphonic tradition, nnd yet the composer has shown that it is possible to write in a new form without doing violence to the mnsterplcecs of the past. The Philadelphia Orchestra nnd all Phlladnlphinns who are interested not onlv in music, but those who hnvc the welfare of the city at heart, are to be congratulated upon this latest achieve ment of Mr. Stokowski in giving this fine work its American premiere. When the beuuty nnd the significance of the composition arc known to the residents of other great music centers the accom plishment of our orchestra nnd chorus will be doubly appreciated and it will redound to the musicnl nnd the civic credit of our city. comingTmusical events Thcr,. win h. ,m nnr.rt. hv tho Philft- riKtnhln OphMipq n Prltv nnrl Raturdav i !h,'."- wS.tk- snc" , th?, !,.1chcJ'rVi1rlir,0 on tour.

THE NAME AND THE GAME By FANNIE HURST Afarjorio Clark, who is Iriflng io forget her life in the slums and better herself, is met on her way home from tcork by Blink, a disreputable friend of former days. He persuades her to have supper tcith him in a low res taurant where most of the diners are drunk, and ha gets drunk himself. Marjoric has refused an invitation from Charles Bcull, a very dapper young man, to spend Christmas Eve with him at his mother's home in the suburbs. Rut she docs not quite trust any man. CHAPTER VI T GOT a new proposition, girl. One J- that'll make Checkers look like thirty cents. A white proposition, too, Mnrj. A baby could listen to it." "Yes, yes, Blink, but not now. When you get lit up, you you oughtn't begin to dream about those millionaire prop ositions, Blink, Try nnd keep your wits." "A baby could listen to this here proposition, Mnrj. And big money, too, Mnri. It's diamonds for vou." Somehow with her 11ns she smiled down at him and did not tug for tho release of her hand. Dallied for the instant instead. "You're lit up, Blink." "Some big guns in Wall street, Marj., nre after me, Mnrj., with n million-dollar proposition. I " "Yes, yes, but wait a minute, Blink, I'll be back." She slid past him lightly. "In a minute, Blink."

"-"-; -;- the sinister looking Side street lay in a white hush, a single line of scraggly footstens crouched into tho snow of the sidewalk. A clock from a sky- scraninir tower rang out eight, its echoes singing like nnvils in the shnrp thin nir. On the cross-town street the shops were full of light and nctlvity. crowds wedging in and out. Marjoric Clark pulled at her strength and ran. At the Twenty-ninth btreet corner she paused for the merest moment for breath and for n quick glance into the dark lane of the diverging street. The double row of stone houses, blank-faced nnd shouldering one another like paper dolls cut from n folded newspaper, stood back indistinctly against the night, most of tho high stoops cushioned in untrod snow, tho fourth of them from the right, lean-looking and undistinguished, ex cept that the ashcan at its curb was a glorified urn of snow. As she stood there the ache in Mar jorie Clark's throat threatened to be come urticulate. She took up her swift pare again, but onward. Ten minutes later, within the great heated mausoleum of the Grand Union Station, she bought a ticket for Olen dale. On track ten the eight-eighteen had already made its first jerk out ward as she made her dash for it. In the spick swaddling clothes of new-laid snow, its rondways nnd gar den beds, macadamized streets nnd runtv lanes all of one identity. Glen- dale lay in a miniature valley beneath tho railroad elevntion ; meandered down a slight hillside and out toward the open countr.v. Immediately removed from the steep flight of stairs leading down from the gabled station, small houses with thatched roofs that wore the snow like coolies' hoods appeared in uncertain ranks forming uncertain streets. Lights gleamed in frequent windows throw ing square of gold -colored light in the snow. N Here nnd there where shades were drawn the grotesque shadow of a fir tree stood against the window; sil houettes moved pust. Picket fences ninrehed crookedly along. At each in-ter.-ection of streets n white nrclight dangled, hissing and spreading its rndi nnce to the very stoops of adjoining house. Two blocks from the left of the sta tion Marjoric Clark paused in the white shower of one of these arcllghts. The wind had hauled around to the north nnd its raw breath galloped across the open country, stinging her. Across the street, dingonal. u low house of too many angles, the snow banked in a high drift across its north flank, stood well back in shndow ex cept that on the peak of its small ve randa and clearly defined by the urc liglit a weathervnne spun to the gale. Marjorie Clark ducked her head to tho onslaught of wind and crossed the street, kicking up a fine flurry of snow before her. A convoy of trees stood in military precision down the quiet avenue, their bare branches embrac ing her in immediate shadows. The Sate creaked when she drew it back ward, scraping outward and upon tho sidewalk n hill of looe snow. Before that mall house n garden lay tucked beneath its blanket, n scrawny line of I hedge tinted with snow enclosing it I nnd a few stalks thnt would presently ! flm.-nr Tim linnil nf the dark veranda. surmounted with its high ruelie of snow, seemed to incline, invitationnl. Yet when Mnrjorie Clark pulled out the old-fashioned bell-nandle her face Mikenod as she stood, and she was down the steps ngain, the tightness I .squeezing her throat, her gloved hands fumbling the gate latch, and her knee flung against it, pressing it outwnrd.

In its radiance a woman's wide- bosomed, wide-hipped silhouette, hand bent In u visor over her eyes, leaned forward und. rushing past her nnd down the pluMiy steps, the bareheaded figure of Mr. Charley Scully, a red nnd , antiquated red wool indoor jacket liv ing to the wind, and a forelock of his I shiny hair lifted. "Mnrjie:" She backed against the gate. "Mnrj: Mariie?" "I no, no I" "Why little one. Marjie : Marjie 1" 1 '"1 no no " But her inertia wus of no moment, j nud very presently Charles Scullv's ' strong right arm propelling her, she I was in the warm, bright-lighted hall- I way, its door closing her in, nnd the wide-bosomed. wide-hipped figure in spotted silk fumbling the thront fasten- 1 ings of her jacket, and the stooped form of Charley Scully dragging off 1 her thin rubber shoes. "Whew, they're soaking wet, Mn. ' Get her a pair of Till's slippers or 1 something." I "Don't jerk the child like that, son. 1 Pull 'em off easy." Through glazed eyes Marjorie Clark. ' balancing herself first on one foot, then j the other, tho spotted silk arm half sus- I mining her. could glimpse the scene of ' an adjoining room : 11 fir tree standing against n drnwn window blind nnd half hung in tinsel fringe, abandoned in the , very act of being draped, n wonuin nnd n child stooping nt its bnse Above a carved black walnut table and from a mother-of-pearl frame, a small amateur photograph of Marjorie Clark smiled out nt herself. The figure in spotted silk dragged off tho wet jacket and hurried with it toward the rear of the hnllwuy, her left foot dragging slightly. "Just n second, dcurie-child, until I find dry things for you, Hon, stop fuss ing nround the lamb until she gets rested," But on ,ie first Instant of the two of 9 iu them stnnding nlone there In the lltths hallway Charioy Scully turned swiftly to Mnrjorio Clark, catching up hef smnll hnnd. His eyes carried the Iri descence of bronze, "Marjie," he said, "to why, to think you'd come! Why why, little Marjie!" "I oh, Charley-boy. T " "What, little one? What?" .'. "I I dunno." "What is it, hon? Ain't you n8"g1d ns I am?" "I dunno, only I I I'm scared) Charley scared, I guess." "Why, you just never was so safe. Marjie, ns now; you just never was. Hiie could not meet tno eioqucncejoi his eyes, but his smile was so near that the tightness at her turoat seemed sua tlenly to thaw. "Charley-boy," she said. But nt the sound of returning foot steps she sprang backward, clasping her hands behind her. A copper-haired woman, with a copper-hnired child iri the curve of her arm, moved through the lighted front room and toward them. Her smiled was upturned, with a dim ple low in ono cheek, like a star in the cradle of u crescent moon. Charley Scully turned his vivid face toward her, "Till." he cried, "she's come, any way. Looka. she's coineV "Yes, I I've come," said Marjorie Clark. There was a layer ot hysteria in ber voice.

"IInvltatton au Voyage" Miss Mnggle Teyte Overture and Venusbers musle from "Tannhauscr" Wagner The program given by the Phila delphia Orchestra at the concert ycsJ terday nfternoon in the Acndemy of Music contained one novelty, one seminovelty, two fairly familiar songs for soprano with orchestra nud n double Wagner number, the Overture and tlW Venusberg music from "Tnnnhauserv" which rose to gigantic musical heights after the rest of the program. f The concert opened with the novelty, n "Solemn Melody," by Walford Davies, an English composer, well known for his church music. The or chestral number plnyed would haye made this fact known if it had not been in the program notes, because the "Solemn Melody" is simply an elab orated hymn. It follows closely the hymn in both form nnd spirit, and n spite of the scoring for n large orches tra this fact is not concealed. The work is something of a novelty, iu that few composers have been moved to write a hymn tune in so elaborate a set ting. It was an interesting piece bt music for this reason if for no other. The Elgar number has been playfjd here before, and it is a clever piece at work. It is probably the most original of the Elgar orchestral numbers, and is n series of thirteen -variations, nil short. The idea of depicting his friendff in a series of short compositions is not original with Elgar. for Schumann dfd it before him, but not in the shape of, an orchestra work. The variations aw radically different in musicnl feeling, " and there is no doubt that the com. poser actually had certain personalities in mind when the work was written. It is elaborately scored, and some Of the variations are exceedingly beau tiful, notably the ones to "Nlmrod,' nnd "Dorabella." The concluding or chestral number was the Wagner orfe alrcadv referred to, and the music carrfe as u fitting climax to a program which, was essentially interesting, but which, nfter all. contained little of really great music. However, nil programs cannot reach the loftiest heights. 3 The soloist of the afternoon wsj Moggie Teyte, who appeared in Cham son' "Le Temps des Lilas" and the loveh Duparc "L'Invitation ,111 VOjS age."

She was con siderably better in the latter number, which she gave with much feeling and 11 high degree of sentiment.
