1 imagine that his French valet, who

nil this fastidiousness as to dress, some

Tho light the other night gave Pador
owskl a ghastly look which closer ob
servance docs not veilfy. He Is not
sallowed and haggard, although In re
pose his face has it sadness upon It Im
possible to analyze. This has deepened
since tho death of his son last March.
Hut Padorcwskl, animated and talking
In tho beautiful English which appeals
to his listener, is anything but sad of
countenance. Ho is most versatile,
spealtlng seven languages with a per
fection of accent and fluency. It would
seem that one who fun speak Polish and
Russian ought to be able to learn any
other tongue on the face of the earth.
He explained tho other night that Po
lish Is not so dllllcult to pronounce as
it looks. It certainly looks like a suc
cession of very hard snoozes, but he
Bays that "w" Is always "v" at the
beginning of a word and ''V any where
else; "c" is never pronounced like "k"
but always as "tz;" "g" is like "g" In
"get," "ch" Is like "k," "c-z" like "tch,"
'sz" like "sh," and "szcz" (oh my!) is
"shteli."
Musical people arc beginning to real

Fred C. Hand for his enterprise in se
curing such talent for the city as It
lias never had before. The last triumph
in arranging for Paderew&ki Is some
thing which will never be forgotten. It
is an exceptional privilege to hear him
at any time, but to have him in our
own city was an advantage wo scarce
ly hoped to enjoy. Mr. Hand has been
the recipient of endless congratulations
since his latest ventuie.
Tho Charity ball, which w-Jll bo given
Easter Monday night, will be a leading
event of that gay season. Judge Kelly
will lead the grand march with Mrs.
II. C AVIHs. There will be magnificent
decorations and fine music. A great
demand for tickets is promised. The
attendance will bo drawn ftom all parts
of the valley.
On tho Saturday nights in March the
Young Women's Christian Association
will servo chicken supper from 5:20 to
7:30 in the association lunch room.
This is for the convenience of business
people and shoppers who w Isli to re
main down town in' tho evening. Tho
tables are most attractive and the
menu piepared by Miss Ericsson will
be delicious.
Tonight's supper will bo particularly
appetizing and tho business men are
urged to patronize it. The association
is in dire need of funds and it Is an
object which should claim hearty sup
port. The secretary. Miss Wood, lost
$1S during tho fire the other day. She
was very brave In all tho excitement
of that occasion and collected the valu

the smoke to serve coffee to the fire

Tho second year of thee Woman's
Exchange began tho first of February.
Fomething more than $l,S0O was paid
out to subscribers, which means that
a large number of women received sub
stantial return for tho work of their
hands, and that a great many others
wore enabled to pm chase articles of
food, luxury and practical value at
reasonable prices.
The hoiiie-mndo cakes and table deli

Tho ninriiuge of Miss Margaret Tor
ry to Mr. .John Benton Fussott nt tho
Hotel Jermyn on Wednesday was an
event which nttractcd much Interest.
It was an unusually beautiful wedding
with nn especially attractive bride.
Miss Julia Petllgrew was maid of
honor.
A feature of the affair was the pres
ence of the Spinster club of which tho
bride Is a member, which organization
long existed with the avowed purpose of
social enjoyment but with the actual
result of doing much In n qulot way for
charity and making the world brighter.
This is the fifth marriage nniong tho
Spinsters. Simply to be married does
not destroy one's usefulness as a
Spinster In this delightful club. One
of their pretty customs Is to give ench
bride a sot of lovely and costly spoons
of a special design, mndo to order In
the meadow pattern.

IEWS OF
A WOMAN
IT WAS a clever observer who paid
that instend of announcing the dox
ology after service In the average
church, tho minister should say: "Let
us grab our hats, jump Into our over
shoes, shove on our coats, look to the
Lord, and bo dismissed!"
This suggestion applies to the aver
age audience of all sorts and condi
tions, not to mention church congrega
tions, In this town. At the beginning
of tho last number on the programme
tho majority of people are absorbed in
their preparations for getting out of
the room with the greatest possible
alacrity. There Is no deference shown
to the performer or the singer on the
stage. As the lecturer approaches his
peroration, the same thoughtful respect
Is shown, no matter what his degree or
the Importance of his subject. Tho peo
ple nro not listening to him. They are
pinning on hats and getting Into wraps.
The others aie down under the seats on
a still hunt for "rubbers."
The other night at tho Paderewskl 10
cltal there was' beautiful vociferation
of enthusiasm after some of the mim
beis. The great pianist was delighted
with this enthusiasm nnd spoke of it.
He understood It as the earnest ap
plause from appreciative listeners and
not in the light of an encore. In the
cities whore ho Is accustomed to play,
no one thinks of expecting a break In
tho programme of a great artist. It Is
understood that tho encores come at
the end. No pianist, supremo in his
genius and transcendental In his method
of expressing feeling in sound, cares to
break tho continuity of the thought
which has resulted In the exposition of
that particular programme, by deviat
ing from it in the middle. But here, no
sooner had he finished the last num
ber, than almost the entire audience
was on its feet, ready to tear out of
the armory. When the applause from
those who remained seated was con
tinued, Padeiewski came buck nnd lie
also came very near, Indeed, of having
an expansive view of everybody's back.
His immediate appearance prevented
such an embarrassing situation, and he
played his wondeiful encore, while the
hearers stood in their places, and was
pleased with the deference in the atti
tude. I tell you that was a narrow
squeak for us. We want a lot for our
money nnd like encores, but we've ac
quired the rush habit so hard that wo
are like children let out of school when
we find tho performer has reached the
end of the progiamme. Then we are
always late in coming. If wo would
appear In our seats earlier and permit
the performance to begin on time, we
could afford to stay a little longer.
It is Pndorewskl's custom to play
several numbers in other cities, where
his audiences linger as long as theie Is
the slightest hope of hearing another
note. Ho would have done that here
most willingly and graciously, if the
people had desired it. The hour was
not late and it would have been a rare
treat, for ho Is at his best at such
times, and his listeners feel a sense of
nearness and sympathy which is not
complete during some of the formal
programmes.
An Instonce of this which would have
been laughable had it not been pathetic,
with the laughter and tho tears both
reflecting on the audience, was on the
occasion of the beautiful recital given
by Miss Ethel Newcombe in St. Luke's
parish hall. She had played a group of
pieces aim readied the middle of the
programme. Then she withdrew fiomiMlt'i " m'1" would bo loved and honoied even
tho platform for a few moments, nnd
wnat was Her astonishment when she
returned to Unci that the house had
vanished that is, the nudlence had
and there were few listeners remaining
to hear tho Mulsh of thnt recital. If It
had not been for tho everlasting rush
hnblt of our people they could not have
made so ridiculous a mistake, for thev
would have sat still to hear .1us,t one
more number, and even had they been
a little hazy as to where they were at
on the programme, it wouldn't have
been found out.
That Is a lovely armory of ours and
wo are proud of It but It Is a pity that
wo built it out of town. Anything nioro
depressing than to try to approach It
tho other night Is hard to Imagine.
For a solid block on Adams avenuo no
slightest attempt had been made lo
clean the sldewailts, and they were
Impassably Impossible, The sltibh
surged around the corner where thu
cars stopped, In a bottomless pit, Ono
lady who wna'-tiHked by her husband If
sho wore overshoes, replied In an ex
asperated tone, "Yes, but I neglected
to put on a bathing Hut,""nnd Mie was
applauded with heartfelt Intensity, if
tho armory is to bo truly popular for
great entertainments It would seem
that those In charge of it should take
some 8teps"to mako It nioro approach
able in bad weather. It will mako
a charming summer resort but 011 tho
nights that u special dispensation of
weather or walking hns been provided,
such 11s has been tho rulo for entertain
ments thero this season, there has been
something to bo desired, It also seems
that some arrangement could bo effect
ed to prevent rowdyism 'on tho out
side. Tho other night groups of loud
voiced men and women congregated at
the windows and Insisted on pushing
them open whenever they were closed
from the Inside, Their noisy conversa
tion and tho draught from the win
dows destioyed tho pleasure of tho
evening for thoso who sat, In tho loges
or near the sides of tho building. Sure
ly this could ba prevented.
There aro several kinds of affectation
n ths world, varying In degrees of of-
&&
feiislVcness. Possibly music Is rcapon
slble for more fool kinds than any
other earthly thing. I don't know
which U the worse, to lmvc somebody
Insist that almost nit the people who
go to a piano recital nre simply follow
ing a fad nnd have no rcni appreciation
of anything nbove coon songs, or to
bo the people who nio nctually follow
ing a fad and pretending to know all
about music. On tho whole I believe
the former Is rather more tlrcsotne.
Take Scranton for Instance. It Is
absurd to say that "nlno tenths of the
people who heard Paderewskl wont
there out of curiosity or to bo In tho
swim." It Is safe to assert rather
strongly that theor are more musical
people In Scrnnton than In nny other
city of Its size In the United States.
I nm not saying that it Is the deepest
culture but there nro more Intelligent
musical minds In the region comprlited
from Wllkes-Harre to Scranton than
In a similar group of people to bo found
outside of Germany,
This may sound extreme but Just look
over the pi nunc!. Have we not a
large Welsh population In this valley?
The Welsh people are musical. They
study much and they have quick ears.
While they excel as cocullsts, they arc
peculiarly appreciative of piano work.
Tho Irish Is a music loving rare.
Irish parents nre quick to give their
children the best musical advantages
obtainable. The dcrmans nro notably
musical and there is no disputing their
correct tasfte in music. Tho Jewish
people arc tho most generous patrons
of ait of all kinds In the world. They
often predominate In an audience where
good music Is to bo heard.
Now wo have these classes, some of
them In large numbers beside the Im
portant clement which lncludesxtho pro
fessional muslclnns the accomplished
amateurs, and those connected with
such educational institutions as The
Conservatory of Music; and lo you
suppose that nil these people nte sim
ply trying to be fashionable when they
hear' the greatest pianist of his time,
who conies to this country?
Tho whole amount of it Is just this.
The aveiage Individual who derides tho
Idea that tho ordinary person really en
joys good music and boasts that no
money could drag him to .a piano "le
cltal is employing affection to a pro
nounced degree. Ho simply wants to
be peculiar and to affect a lack of af
fection. It Is a pity that everybody who
loves a clean, beautiful play could not
have seen Andrew Mack the other
night In Tom Moore. It has a distinct
literary value far beyond all tho "prob
lem" plays and most of the historical
dramas which are growing a little tire
some. It gives an opportunity for a
revival of some of tho sweetest ballads
that were ever sung and also an op
portunity to hear one of the sweetest
of voices in their singing. It really
seems that Mr. Mack Is adequately
cast in this charming story so fair and
so true. However, ho Is almost too
good looking to be left at large to roam
over tho country. Saucy Bess.

of tho mountain of tho Mooslo lane, far away
fiom any other conglomerate specimen. The

much more beautiful than the ordlnaiy conglom
erate rock found in this region, 'llie boulder Is
about three nnd one-half feet high; sit feet long
and probibly weigh seven tons. Its beauty is
increued rather thin diminished hy the march
of time, as the pebbles bleach white and grow
more hiilliant .ve.uly under the exposure to tho
baptism of the howling tempests that play about
the ciest of the mountain.
Tho boulder was first biouglit to notice by the
well-known geologist and pio.pector, Mr. Thoinai
Davis, of Spruce slrcet. Mr. Davis ha directed
many students of stiata to tho locality, who
lnvo endeavored in vain to account for the pre
ence of the rock on the mountain summit so far
away from other specimens of its kind.
