DUTY AND DE STINY"
Eloquent Address In Optimistic Strain
by Recorder John Q. Dancy at Bethel

One OF the largest audiences that has
attended B=thel Literary and Histori-
Cal Association in many months turned
out Tuesday evening or last week TO
near the HJn John @. Dancy's elo
quent address on "Duty and Destiny
Mr.. Daucy's several talks before the
varied audiences of the natiOn's capital
have treated of almost every subject OF
current interest and their substantial
matter, clear reasoning and logical de-
duction have shown him to be q close
student of history and scholar of
emiuent parts. There Is no froth in his
clean cut sTgu deDts-no bombast, no
meretrIcious display OF rhetoric. He
takes q subject that is appropriate and
develops 1t after practical common
sense fashion and criIIcs can do moth
ing but to commend and emphasize
the salient points.
This address on DUTY and Destiny"
WAS IN cOnsnnance with Mr.. Dancy's

THE MAN ON-THE-CORNER
Continued from fourth page }

Frank L. Cardozo. Jr.. is making an
excellent president at Bethel Literary.
His programs are varied, and the speak
ers are happily chosen, all being ac-
knowledged authorities upon the sub
jects they assay to treat. The music is
highly appropriate Mr.. CardOZO IS
not a dealer in pyrotechnic OratOry-his
intrOductions are calm and dignihed,
leaving the invited guest the privilege
of making his own speech. He believes
that the effective platform presentation
of this modern day is akin to the newer
school of heatriCals-naturalistic meth
DDS and eplgrammatIC logic. Mr.. Car
dOZO wastes no time-he has none to
waste, being q day teacher and principal
at Stevens School. a night teacher at
Cook and principal Of the night school
system for three buildings, vestryman
at ST. Luke's. president of the High
School Alumni; likewise president of
the Cosmos Club-all these things in
addition to the presidency of the time
honored Bethel Literary and Historical
Association. He will doubtless be
chosen to succeed himself In spite of
many irons in the fire. Mr.. CardOzo is
so active of head and foot, that none are
permitted to burn.
Another useful personality in all the
beneficial movement about Washington
is Miss Matte r. Bowen. How shall
l describe this decidedly original char
acter, for there is but one Mat" Bowen,
as her friends delight to call her If
she is ever in a respondent mood she
certainly stays out of public view until
her blues depart, for to every one,
man, woman or child, she is the very
essence of geniality-full of hearty
cheer and can take a joke on herself
and then turn the scalpel the otner way,
with the grace of a finished raconteur
She is the only rival of DR.. Ed Williston
and Mrs. Julia Mason Layton in the
amount of ground covered in a single
day. What does Miss Bowen do? Well,
she teaches school, operates a mission
for the masses in South Washington,
conducts the Sojourner Truth Home for
