One day the little boy turned from his

look in his eyes which was toward the
far-away he said:
'JOhn-What.
"I'm kired. I-wanr-my-mamma."
They took him up to his little room
where in bad weather he played most

talked to him and told him stories as

his small white bed, and they gathered
about him and were glad when ne stlrr-

would call the baby ruby and use him

The evening came, and the twilight,
and the time licked on into the night.
The lamplight fell upon them, and be-
lieve that all three were praying. But
n stronger agency than their prayers
was acting, and toward midnight the
little boy nwoke and looked languldly
about him. Suddenly the clock away
down in the city tower began striking
the hour and the little lips moved:

She was but an amateur as mother,
and she read the wonderful things in
the newspapers-those articles concern
ing mothers congresses" and conven-
tons of chldless people who feel an
GRAND to tell persons who have children
what to do about them and how to raise
them. So she spoke to her own mother
about the bnby's imaginary playfellow
and asked II she thought the same
ought to be discouraged
Dear me. no." the grandmother said,
why, when Vou were five yelrs old
you had three playmates Of that kind
and you used to spend whole after
moons talking to them and having
them help you dress dolls."
So the young mother took IN interest
in John, as indeed she had reason TO,
for day or so later showed John as an
arbItec OF family fortunes and fo7 the
first time disclosed his surname. Some
little mAlefaction was scored against
the child, and he was reproved for his
conduct. Stralghtway Gnsued this APP
peal TO the higher court:
I'm Eoln' TO tell John on Eou, mann
ma You Just see what he says. John!
What? Mamma tweated me mean! All
wight for her!
"Thay-oh. now; see what he says" In
triumph.
1t was such funny little appeal and
so promptly heard ana decided that his
mother. instead OF being overwhelmed
with shame, was delighted.
WAS that John who was talking to
you?" she inquired
''Ycs-nn' he said: all wight for you
; ha hn Ft4I
you caIled?" The little head shook af-
flrmatIvely.
"Well. wish my little boy would an
sN7er his mamma when she :ahs him
half as promptly. Let me hear you call
him again"
Proud Of this interest, the little boy
did not even walt for the in.ertion Of
commas or semi-coions this time, but
ratified through his dialogue with John
IN one key and without stopping for u
breath. t

After that John What became zee
ognIzed member Of the family. WheE
the little boy felt that he had a griev
ance he would stand mp very straight
and looking away from his loving emo
niles. he would say:
John What, zair you mean TO me al

was as much as accommodation.
Sometimes the mother would grow re-

English is proved also by the fact that
our, men of literature should and do
rank with the best in England,and they
all can be recognized by an American
style that is perfectly distinct.
AS guides in the use of English
words Mr.. Burton laid down two rules,
First, good usage, whereby we can Sc
lect the best words in our own time,
and second, the genius of the language,
whereby a conservative force is intro
duced in word use from the greater
writers in the language. incidentally,
he said that some of the greatest Eng
lish writer's, naming Carlyle, Browning
and Whitmore, were great sinners
sometimes in their use of English.
Many a face in the audience lighted
up with new found hope when Mr..
Burton said misspelling was not to be
condemned in wholesale. Mistakes in
spelling are sign of philosophical
mind and of genius, as the spelling of
many English words is not phonetic,
and the poor speller in attempting to
make it so shows his originality. Mr..
Burton said that the dictionary is of
great assistance in selecting words, and
mentioned the Standard and the Cen
fury as the two to be preferred. The
next lecture will be on April 6 on

Miss Roberts did good work, the solo
Call me not Naomi" being especially
well executed. Miss Battersby was
heard to advantage in the Farewell
trio and it is to be regretted that the
score did not give her greater oppor-
tunity. Mr. Phillips opening solo go
not from hence" placed him high in
the favor of the audience and he was
obliged to respond to the encore and
his rendition of the solo GLORY be to
Thee, Q Lord" was specially worthy of
mention, his enunciation being excel
lent. The chorus is deserving of praise
for its painstaking work, special men
ton being made of the choral Might
fall and the Wedding Chorus" which
they were obliged to repeat, while the
even balance of the parts was we'll
shown in the closing piece "Rejoice!
for Blessings Round us Fall"
The orchestra, too, is deserving OF
it's share of praise, for the careful
manner in which the time was follow
ed and its control at all times. Too
much credit cannot be given Mr.. Stor-
mont for, his conscientious work, and
certainly the chorus did him credit.

In Town Hall, West Haven, by the
Fuodian Society,"

In Town Hall, West Haven, by the
Euodian Society.
The musical event of the season for
West Haven occurred at the town hall
last evening when the Euodian Choral
society gave the cantata of Ruth. This
organization came into existence early
in January of the present year, being
the outcome of a meeting of a musical
committee from the Episcopal, Metho-
dist and Congregational churches, who
agreed to allow the use of the church
Sunday Schoolrooms for the rehearsals
The chorus soon numbered 100 and
under the leadership of Charles e.
Stormont, made good progress, result
ing in the rendering before crowded
house of one of the best concerts West
Haven has ever had the privilege of
listening to.
The soloists were: Mrs. S. S. Thomp-
son, Miss Margaret H. Roberts, Miss
Louise Battersby, Riley E. Phillips, jr.
c. Edward Moulthrop, pianist, with
Fichtl's orchestra of seven pieces as
accompanies.
The singing throughout showed the
effects of careful training and close at
tention on the part of the chorus. The
attacks were decisive and the volume
under good control. Mrs. Thompson
was in excellent voice and sang with
her usual good Judgment and was the
recipient of repeated encores, being

THE SYMPHONY CONCERT

At the Hyperion This Afternoon.
The following programme will be
played by the New Haven Symphony
orchestra at the Hyperion at o'clock
this afternoon:
Beethoven Symphony No. A. op. co.
Adagio. Allegro viyace.
scherzo. Allegro motto.
Finale. Yivace.
Richard Wagner Poguer's Address from
Leo Delibes-Suite from the Ballet Cop
pelia"
Andante with variations.
Notturno.
Cyurdas.
s. w. Chadwick-Overtuye "Melpomene"
FL. w. Parker--"Ode for Commencement
Day"
Mr.. Beresford and Male Chorus.
1t is delightful programme, particu-
larly varied and interesting. 1t bids
fair to be as fine "a concert as the or
chestra has given us.
The soloist, Arthur Beresford, Is a
young Englishman. who is the basso at
Trinity church, Boston, and has had
considerable success in oratorio. He Is
said to have powerful and resonant
voice of especially remarkable range.
He has chosen Poguer's address from
the "Meistersinger" as his solo num-
Der. He will also sing the solo in Pro-
fessor Parkers Commencement Ode, "
which Herbert Witherspoon sang when
the work was originally sung at COM
mencement in 's5 at Battell chapel.
Mr.. Chadwick's "Melpomene" over
ture and the suite from Delibes' Cop
pelia" ballet music will be the novel
ties of the programme. Both will be
particularly enjoyable.
The chorus made up OF voices from
the college choir and glee club will sing
Professor Parker's "Ode,' for which it
will be remembered that Edmund Clar-
ence Stedman, the eminent poet, sup
piled the text. This Same chorus sang
beautifully last year Grieg's "Olaf Try
vasov" and showed that they were
equal to serious musical work.
Seats for the concert can be purchas-
ed at the Hyperion box office this af-
ternoon.

RICHARD BURTON.
Lecture Before the University Extern
sion Circle

Richard Burton. Phi. D., the we'll
known and popular lecturer, opened
his series of lectures before the New
Haven university Extension Center on
English, Written and Spoken" last
evening in Warner hall. A large num-
Der of people are taking advantage of
this new course of lectures offered by
the extension management and it
promises to be as successful as any
heretofore. President A. Maxcy Hill
er introduced the lecturer in a few fe-
licitous remarks.
The special branch of the general
subject discussed by Mr.. Burton last
evening was What Is Good English?"
He answered the question in a way
original, reasonable and satisfactory.
The basic element of the English Ian
guage is, Gernanic, more especially
designated as Anglo-Saxon. Great adj
ditions were made to this by Norman
conquest, when Norman French was
introduced and by the Renaissance,
when Latin and Greek words were in
troduced in large numbers. The per-
iods of the English language are ap-
proximately divided as follows Old
English, ninth to fifteenth century;
middle English, fifteenth to sixteenth
century; modern English, sixteenth to
the present day. In spite of the chang
es and additions the language retains
its idiosyncracies. The English lam
guage differs in the various countries
in which it is spoken, and thus we have
English as it is spoken in England, in
United States, in Australia, in India,
etc. 1t is foolish to say that English
as 1t is used in any one of these coun-
! tries is the criterion by which all good
English is to be judged. Each has had
its own way in development and is
right for the country in which 1t has
developed. 1t is absurd and snobbish
for Americans to return from London
with affectations of London English.
American English is good English for
several reasons. 1t is so by virtue of
heredity, the settlers of this country
being for the most part of good Eng
lish breeding, familiar with the best
English literature, the Bible and the
conditions for the development of the
language in this country have been the
best. That American English is good
