This sounds pretty strong, but, my

Si eves And when it comes to Roing
t ball, as I did a few jvecks ago, and
Ling several of the younger girls
Sed out full length on the up-
olstcrrd sofas in the foyers of hotels,
with their feet up on the. end of said
Mb I think it's about time to say a
" words. And to eay 'era strong, too.
tvj Mil pver hear of such a thing? As
S?SSi said to her little girl, who
unwittingly used a common expression,
"it worse than wicked, dear, it's vul-
8"-"
As I said once before, one does not
ittempt to appeal to the moral side,
BoralUr is out of style, but it's so
r0mmon, so vulgar. At another ball I
,m here to state I saw actually only five
tosses that were wearable outside the
nriwey of one's own boudoir and, be
line me, Nancy would not .have worn
iiV.of those In her boudoir did she
hive one. .
Frocks held on, the shoulder with a
fcilMnch band of jet or rhincstones and
"under the arms down to the waist
line. That is true. And you aren't at
ie Artists ball in Paris either. But
a private ball given by a gentleman and
lidr. '
A S ONE woman said to me the other
A day, "If I could say, well, but it's
not my friends' daughters who dress
snd act that way, it's some of those
who have come here lately and are not
really old Philadelphians, but I can t,
fte seen the daughters of my own
friends dance and jazz and shimmy
sod wear such apologies for frocks as I
cover dreamed I should see outside of
tbe curiosities of Paris."
I suppose this is a tirade, but I am
i.-zi.t.in.rnnrlnrss mad. Something
iMine iii"- -. .-, r
mint to bo done. Some one braver
mough to make an impression should
Jo something active and' strong.
Why cannot some of our women of
intelligence, good taste and social posi
tion set an example and refuse to re
ceire those who dress so immodestly
nd behave so vulgarly mind you,-1
don't say immorally into their houses?
Every one would praise them, even
those who make these mistakes them
.elvcs (half of it is not real malice, you
Inow; it's thoughtlessness and a going
with thc times).
Tar be it from me to advocate hlgh
ncded ugly dresses. There's nothing
o ugly as a "too-high" bodice, but
there is a happy medium, and n small
Mfcvc is more becoming to thc arm
than none at all, while a longer skirt is
far more graceful. Why don't we use
iiur common sense? Not one of those
live dresses I saw at the ball to which
1 refer was old-fashioned looking; they
wcri very good looking and in very
;ood style. It's a sbame that no one
'rill take this thing teriously to heart
and work it out.
Obi I know that thc women are wor
ried about it and arc having meetings
and asking the youug people to co
operate with them; but isn't there any
one ttrong and fearless enough to say,
"If you do these things which outrage
manners and ordinary decency you mfist
do them in another house than mine?"
This is no joko; I'm not telling half of
what I have seen and heard of this
"inter's doings; and, believe me, it's
time It was stopped, and with, a capital
5 on the btop.
Of course, this is not an indictment
f all the debutantes, for most of them
ate as sweet and ladylike as can be.
TT TVAS too bad that Mrs. Pago and
Priscilla Morris both were sick and
"jiaHc to be attendants at Elizabeth
J orris s wedding'Saturday, was it not?
its really appalling how many are sick
weie days, what with flu and grippe
JM pneumonia and measles and every

CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERT
Philadelphia Orchestra Ensemble
Society Plays at the Bellevue
The Chamber Music Association held
its kcventh meeting at the Bellevuc
Stratford yesterday afternoon, the Phil
adelphia Orchestra Ensemble Society
giving thc program. It began with thc
familiar septet of Beethoven for violin,
viola, cello, bass, clarinet, horn and
bassoon, tho parts respectively being
played by Messrs. Rich, Belov, Kindlcr,
Torcllo, Bonade, Horner nnd Krueger.
Four of thc movements .were played
me nrst movement, the exquisite adagio,
thc scherzo and the finale thc nlnvers
omitting the minuet and the variations
tor reasons of length. ..
All the movements were finely played,
tho adsgio naturally being the most
successful, largely on account of its
wonderful melodies, first for the clarinet
and later the second theme for thc
horn, the tone quality of Messrs.
Bonade nnd Horner bcinc verv beautiful
nnd properly restrained to the size of
tho room.
The second number was a quintet by
Lefevre for flute, oboe, clarinet, bas
soon nnd horn, performed bv Jfeasrs.
Maquarrc, Tabutcau Bonade. Krueger
nnd Horner. It is a composition of fine
workmanship and entirely shovi ofiVthe
qualities of the various instruments. ,It
was finely done, being in perfect tune
and played with a good sense of tone
balance and proportion. Thc work is
short, so that the highly "spiced" tonal
qualities of thec instruments do not be
come monotonous, as compositions for
instruments of great color arc apt to
if too long.
The program concluded ith Hcinrich
Hoffman's octet for string quartet, flute,
clarinet, bassoon and horn. The same
players took part with the addition of
Mr. Dubinsky as second violin. The
compositiou is excellently constructed
and interesting in material. It is far
more orchestral in style than the
Beethoven, but is saved from becominc
ton much so by the omission of thc con
trabass. Two movements were played,
the gavotte and th" finale.
