KensingtIlo'n

One of the most thoroughly
enjoyable parties of the season
vas given yesterday afternoon
oy Mrs. Maurice Fanger at her
home on east Erie street.
The parlors were decorated
with bouquets Of red and white
carnations. The afternoon was
spent with fancy work and near
rs close Misses Annette and
Marie Fanger delighted the
guests with several readings.
At five o'clock places were
found at one large and FIVE
small tables. These tables
we're beautifully decorated hav-
ing covers of white linen with
pink ribbons placed diagonallv
across and fastened at each
corner with a fern leaf. In the
center was q vase of pink car
nations that were attached to
each place card by narrow pink
ribbons. The place cards were
of a floral design and the nut
cups were laced around with
pink ribbons tied with q bow.
A most delicious three course
lunch was served by the host

Marie Fanger and Gertrude
Schulmeister. The color scheme
was most artistically carried
out in the menu.

APPLAUSE AT THE OPERA

TO tho Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-May call attention, through the columns
of your paper, to the signal rebuke delivered
by the stars OF last nights opera to the aria
hounds who make opera-going a trlbulatlon
OF the soul? At the end of the first aria Mr..
Martinelli made no acknowledgment of the
compartment In the second act Miss Farrar
made acknowledgment OF the ill-timed APP
plause which broke into the fine drama she
and Mr.. Scotu were playing. Even in the third
act Mr.. Martine refused to bow, or otherwise
come out of character, to receive his applause
Don't you think that after a long, long time
the audiences may realize that applause, except
at the end Of an act, is unnecessary, perhaps
unkind, maybe vulgar?

Punishment by Jury

TTENRY SIEGEL is to have another
IL chance; he is going to begin again at
the foot of the ladder. That sounds roman
tic and heroic enough, but a method of
punishment 1t is shamefully inadequate.
The Judge who suspended sentence was ac-
tuated by the belief that this juggler of other
peoples money ought to be compelled to
make restitution to those who were robbed
through his shuffiing.
It is easier way out than the little
criminal is offered; and there is strong like
nhood that the victims OF SIegels trlclSery
and fraud, when they get their money back,
as they may, will go away contented and
very grateful to Mr.. Siegel.
The system of justice which let's this man
off easy Is not the fault of the Judge
nor yet entirely Of the jury; but jury which
thinks ten months in jail is enough for such
a malefactor makes American citizens do a
little thinking for themselves. One of the
lawyers for the defense remarks that any
Jury that might have been obtained in New

TT is the habit Of this people year by
year humbIy and with overaowing hearts
to stay the accustomed tides Of COM
merce and render thanks to the omniscient
and omnipotent for His manifold goodness
and mercy. For rich harvests. for dire
calamities escaped, for the freedom and
| liberty which we have inherited we join In
grateful acknowledgment after the habit Of
iron-hearted men and women, who, in the
/ drear days Of our beginnings, followed the
tenuous thread Of their destiny into the
broad highway OF the future which they
dreamed and we possess.
The drive Of war has convulsed half the
earth. Catastrophe is being piled on
catastrophe. The thunder OF reverberating
guns settles into the murmurs of the hos
pitfalls. and long lines OF rich graves parallel
each other behind the trenches of the
Xerxesian hosts The wrack and ruin Of
battle has settled like a pail on the conu
nent The hldeous cruelty of accustomed
war has palsied the finer attributes Of men
and fastened upon women and children it's
prodisious toll.
That from these things we have escaped
we may be truly thankful, and tho more
so that out of the fulness of our material
blessings we have been able to reach our
hands across the sea into the very pits Of
desolaton, hands bearing succor to the OPP
pressed and hetp to the helpless What an
opportunity for proof Of our gratitude, and
how excellently has advantage of It been
taken! 1t is a Thanksgiving laden with the
service OF charity, service which sets old
hearts athrill and makes the blood leap
in glorious satisfaction.
The spiritual longing which exalteth
people has been abundantly evident In us.
Our purpose has been crisp, and the rich
est OF our blessings has been the masterful
self restraint which has held us straight
amid the chaos of our earth nelghbors.
There has been manifest in us a stubborn
ness for international morality, which has
already found its full compensation in our
peaceful supremacy and promises eventually
to wrap the world in the folds of paclfica-
ton. The vindicatlon OF republican prin-
clples and liberty vitalizes our mission in
the world.
Humbly, as so often before, we voice
our gratitude and raise our paoans of
Thanksgiving for our blessings have been

VIEWS OF READERS
ON TIMELY TOPICS
Contributions That Reflect Public Opin-
ion on Subjects Important to City,
State and Nation.

To the Editor Of the Bvcrirp Ledger:
Sir-rhe Kaiser's conception of the royal OF
nce is thus illuminated by Professor Hugo
Muensterberg:
'tie certainly does not take himself as hui
man being above others. He is far too sincere
too deeply DELICIOUS to exalt himself as a per
son. But II is different with the office which
has come to him by inheritance. This is most
ffttingy expressed II in religious language
the royal office Is treated as II 1t were God
given. The crown is OF divine grace; just as the
weddinB-ring Is OF divine grace. or course, II
you arc radical the wedding-tie does not mean
any more TO you than contract, binding until
you decide TO have a divorce. If your mind
tends more toward a conservative view, the
weddng-tie is something sacred. The Emperor
would certainly take this latter view OF mar
riage. and so he takes the conservative view
OF the office Of king"
Analogy has been heard OF before now. The
sacredness of marriage rises out of deep hu-
man needs and aspirations and out OF the dl-
vinity In men and women. Klngship is not an
expression of the mind and spirit of humanity.
II is political, even a religious tenet. crown
symbolizes the klngly office and, in the words
of William II, a responsibility "only to God"
not to the people; but wedding-rng signifies
u reciprocity which is not human one side
and divine on the other. and all the sanctions of
which are both human and divine

HUM oF HUMAN CITIES

In the English. as we'll as the American,
mind Pittsburgh has been almost Nsynony-
nous with smoke. Obviously IL that city
can master the smoke nuisance there will
be hope for every other besmutted town in
the country. Pittsburgh is making a great
effort, as recent public meeting called by
the smoke inspector demonstrated.
The city has a Smoke and Dust Abate-
ment League. composed of the leading civic
organizations 1t held exhibition last
year. at which the 100000 visitors had their
minds dlsabused OF the idea that smoke
means prosperity" The movement was be-
gun by the Mellon Institute of the UniVer-
sity OF Pittsburgh. Nothing, says ]. c..
O'Connor, in the American City Magazine,
has done so much to cause an understanding
that smoke means waste and TO enlist the
manufacturers OF the town In an EFFORT to
demonstrate 1t by practice.
In July OF this year an ordinance was
tors approval of all new installations The
railroads are showing a lively interest as
well as manufacturers.
In September the president OF one large
factory presented to the stockholders the
result Of an effort at smoke abatement. In
the old plant were 65 boilers. These were
ali removed and replaced with eight 500
horsepower units having double steam pres
sure with mechanical stOkers, and with a
coal and ash handling apparatus which in
