BY DORIS J.. fLhlSOh HA''
OCIAL bettermeut does not really
go under the skin until people
~ show, by their willingness TO pay
tor it, that they vitality want it. It
is upon this hypothesis that Miss
Anne Morgan. Mrs. William X. Van
derbilt. ir, and their women associates
are opening a roof dancing and eating
place for respectable young people Of
very moderate means in the heart OF
the Broadway district.
I'VE have not the slightest idea OF
reforming anybody or anything" de-
clared Miss Anne Morgan, "and We arc
not planning an eleemosynsry insti-
tuition. We wish to supply an sppar-
ert need for wholesome pleasure in a
normal way"
Which exactly describes the unusual
attitude Of this group Of women who
plan this unusual business venture.
They realize the necessity for allow
ing young people TO meet socially, 90
dance and eat, and all this inexpen-
sively. And they are going TO make
business out Of it.
To their mind, nothing that is gift
is permanent or truly valuable. II
there is d demand for something, pa
terualism is Of no aid. When people
actually want something they will get
IL. and there is no need 20 conceal or
to befuddlc the real purpose Of the
plan.
The committee feels that the aver
age person in New York could find a
great deal Of pleasure in q properly
conducted dance hall that would not be
too great a drain on limited finances.
To that end the committee viii open d
recreation room on top Of the Strand.
If people want +, sufficiently they will
take advantage Of It and there is no
need TO foster it artifcially.
This Is an Age Of Commercial Tests.
There arc Tar too many or tncse
paterualisms, anyway. This is an age
of commercial tests, and there is 40
need 10 disguise the real end Of social
ventures-txt is, Of giving them what
they want. The mere fact Of this
ventures succeeding or not will be az
indicator Of ITS need.
Dancing is q natural expression OF
YOUTH exclaimed Miss Morgan, who
is ezhilaratingly youthful in spirit
Young people want 10 come together
TO play, dance and 20 cat. 1t is nor
NAL, and really quite laudsble. But
that has been made peculiarly diff
cult for them in New York, the abode

Odd Shaped Walls Filled with Perfume
The covered bit Of bristol board was
glued into the back and into each Of
the ribbon bands at the sides was
slipped envelopes, one with face pow
der, one with the bath powder, and in
the centre was the tiny square Of pink
satin filled with sschet. In the lower
half there was the perfume extract in
an odd shaped little vial, while q larger
bottle Of toilet water matched II on
the other side, and in the centre was
the cake of soap and q little powder
pad in its glazed paper case. Around
the edges Of the envelope, on which
was written the name and use Of the
powder, border Of gay pink glsce
paper was pasted. The same border
appeared around the white paper labels
pasted on each bottle
The boxes we're then wrapped in pink
tissue paper and tied with pink ribbon.
The outer paper was also tied with
stout pink tape to carry out the festive
color scheme.

Plum Pudding.

The recipe for the plum pudding is
d bit unusual, but very good. 1t calls
for one pound Of bread crumbs, one
pound Of -four, one pound of well
washed currants, two pounds Of rails
ins, quarter pound of mixed peel, half
pound of sugar, half pound Of chopped
pine nuts, half pound Of nut butter,
six eggs, and nutmeg and spices to
taste. Boil for twelve hours. then
serve it aAame, garnished with holly.
The sauce is made Of a heaping cup
Of sugar, three-qusrters Of a cup Of
butter, one egg, beat TO a cream. Add
q wineglass Of good brandy and melt
over the {. ettle until very smooth.
Serve hot, after generous grating Of
nutmeg. In putting the pudding into
the mould in which it l. TO b boiled
d not FIJI it full, but leave room for
the pudding TO swell, for if too close
ly confined it does not -ise lightly,
but gets heavy and soggy, and is unfit
to eat.
The cost OF this dinner is much less
than one which includes game, poultry
and meat 1t will be quite as satisfy

adays about educating the masses. lt
is the uDlifters who do that, the people
who talk and do nothing else. We are
trying 10 do something, not to plan
colossal ventures for the carrying out
by others.
There is more educating to be
found IN the social life Of the world
at large than there is in all the lecture
halls and missions. Get people to-
gether. Teach them team play. Show
them how they can pull together. They
should develop their points Of com
mon purpose, instead Of crying out
about their differences. And just as
in colleges they learn team play
through their enjoyments, just so must
these Philistines learn how they must
depend upon each other aud give re-
ciprocal assistance.
SuGragists' Talk Puerilc.
Democracy is the fsyorite word Of
to-day. But we haven't so very much Of
IL. There is too much talk about being
dowutrodden and of rights People
can get what they want If they only
work together. All this tiresome talk
Of the woman suffragists about being
downtrodden for ages and OF deslr-
iug rights Is puerI!c. u We work to-
gether we can show them that we arc
capable of undertaking certain duties
and bearing great responsibilities. We
could have done j, ages ago, If We
had wanted 20. and there is no right
about it. If II is anything 10 Is r
duty"
Miss Morgan emphasized again and
again during the interview that she
has absolutely no thought OF reform
iu her venture. The young man who
prefers 10 20 20 a restaurant 20 drink
viii probably continue in his course.
But those who want just such place
will come.
MY Name Will Mean Nothing"
"Ny name and the names Of the
other members on the committee VIII
mean nothing after the opening on the
first night. II they DO not find what
they desire, not al the charitable feel
ing IN the world on our part Will
make them come
Miss Morgan has fear and horror
OF the word reform" People do not
need 20 be reformed. She believes
there is entirely too much Of that sort
of thing, too much psternallsm, too
much charity. People need only sub
stitutes.
They will always lake the better
thing II 10 is given 70 them. Teach
them the mechanism and the meaning
of the better, and make II fairly easy
for them, and they viii always choose
il. The only reform or education nee
essary is that of showing them Of how
much they are capable
Il is clearly TO be seen why Miss
Morgan has made 20 great success
OF her many attempts. IL IS her glow
ing personality. the shining eyes that
reflect her compelling optimism.
People Talk Too Much.
"Whv do people talk 30 much > Why
do they get out and hsrangue mobs /
on Madison Square? Why do they ex-
hort and preach Why don't they do
something? Let them look at their /
own little whirlpools. No. not look AZ
them, for they contemplate far too |
much. Let them direct the streams I
in proper channels, and remove the /
dangerous eddies. II each person would /

Hall Where People Want to 60.
"lu starting this project Of ours we
might have gone TO the Bowcry and
TO other similar locations Of moraliz-
ing or missionary places Of amusement.
But We did not care 20 do that. We
selected g spot right on Broadway, in
the midst Of the dens Of the rich, for
that central location is where the peo-
pie want TO go. And why should they
not have it there? We viii be justi-
fed in our surmise If the hall sue
ceeds.
"The need Of a proper place for So
cial enjoyment for young people is
crying. They want, S place TO which
they can go often, where they can
feel perfectly at home, and where there
is no taint Of impropriety. Members
Of the committee viii always be pres
cnt to see that all are enjoying them
selves.
Girls Can Come Here Alone.
Young girls can go there alone
with perfect safety, and without caus-
ing their parents any anxiety. If
girl has no friends, a member Of the
committee viii take care Of her and
viii perform introductious with all
possible care. Mothers and fathers
are invited TO come and watch, aud
everything will be made comfortable
for them. The admission fee will be

MR.. SEARCH PLAYS.
second Recital by Young American
NiOlOncellist.

Frederick Preston Search, the young
American Cellist who gave a first recital
here a few days ago at Aeolian Hall, was
again heard in the same place yesterday
afternoon. At his frs, hearing he made
good impression through disclosing In
his work musical tone and taste and
some style, hut his technic was shown TO
be inadequate.
Yesterday his programme was or bet
ter order than before and comprised
Beethovens sonata in @ minor. saint
Saenss sonata In T. major and group
of shorter pieces. an "Andante Relieoso'
by Hugo Becker. an adagio canahile or
Tartinl, a "WleEenlied" by julius klenge!
and a m.nuet Of his own. In the two
sonatas he had the assistance of Robert
Llppitt who was also the accompanist
Throughout his programme Mr., Search
did himself fuller justice than at his hrst
recital lie had himself evidently under
better command and with the result that
his performance was more deserving OF
praise His technic was shown more
favorably in such work as the Saint-Saens
sonata and in the one 10y Beethoven some
good phrasing claimed attention. His
work lacks general incisivcness, hut 1t
alw ys contains a touch OF sentiment and
musical feeling. As a player he possesses
many OF the favorable qualities peculiar
to the viooncello IN its more quiet realm
among string Instruments and ne Will no
doubt take advantage of their possession
and continue with their development
