William Ellis Scull to-day. "But we
all came away from that first meeting
at Mr.. Biddle's very much impressed.
Mrs. StOtesbury has asked me 20 near
him when he speaks at her house, q
week from Thursday, but ! hope TO go
70 the Tabernacle before that. ] think
however, that this interest among edu-
Gated people is intellectual rather than
emotional Mr.. Sunday, OF course, has
made no perceptible impression on So
cial activities; in fact, there have been
more small affairs this season than IN
times past. At the same time, We are
all working very hard for the Elmer
gency Aid. which is our big charity"
Mrs. Sydney Hutchinson Mrs.
Hutchinson was Miss Stotesbury) ~
another matron who takes the view
that Billy is accomplishing things
mainly without the domains of what
Is popularity known as society.
81 believe that he has done much
good. believe that he Is sincere,
said Mrs. Hutchinson, who Is regarded
as a leader in what might be called
the intellectual set of Philadelphia.
81 do not know of any friend who so
far has hit the tanbsrk, as Mr.. Sun
day puts il. But, then, when ! went
10 see him | did not stay TO observe
those who went UP and sat on the
repentants' bench. believe that the
main interest in him is curiosity. And,
after all, that Ia not 80 extraordinary.
In the days Of Moody and Sankey great
crowds went TO hear them, but, as |
understand il, they made a diferen'
and a more human appeal. or course,
the thing to remember Is that, after
- vol
Methodists go In great numbers. fef-
sonaly, felt no religious thrill
From Mrs. Hutchinson also came an
interesting criticism OF Sundays voice
Mrs. Hutchinson Is q thorough mu-
stefan.
The thing that most impressed me,
she said, "was that he seemed a very
tired man, who had misused his voice
very much. In his endeavor 70 Dc
forceful he has shouted-thst is, from
his throat. instead of speaking, as a
person who has gone at the thing sci
entifcally would have done, from tho
roof of the mouth and the tip of the
tongue. told him his voice was badly
placed"
That Billy's Trades against dancing
and smoking have had little ehec' was
admitted.
"Of course, you know that Philadel-
phia men do not dance as wei as New
York men," remarked Mrs. George
Quintard Horwltz.
What mean" said Mrs. Horwitz
quickly. "is that they do not give the
same time to il as the New York men
do-for instance, they won't go and
take lessons. But there isn't the slight
est sign, as far as dancing goes 70
suggest that Mr.. Sunday has even oeen
in town. They are still dancing al
night at the Ritz-st least, until z
o'clock. That is all night, isn't !
Perhaps not in New York. You Sc
here in Philadelphia We tell the truth.
You know. Talleyrand said it was
Talleyrand, wasn't it THAT the way 10
be most confusing was TO tell the truth
There never was time when there
were more small affairs. Probably this
;s because Of the war and other rea-
sons, but people are not giving large
affairs.
And Still the Dance Goes On.
"Take myself, for instance. This IS
the first evening have been home this
week-there is something every even
inp ! don't think that Billy affects
any OF the people that ] meet. Tho
women affected are the ones who are
glad 70 avoid taking care OF their
homes, who can go 10 Sundays meet
ings and have their babies checked st
the door. 20 that for several hours
thew are relieved OF the care OF them.
You know, he has nursery attached
20 his meetings-rather clever, isnt
Il?
"Rpt there is o drawback TO even
that. The other day he asked all the
women who had been there more than
three times that week TO stand up.
When they arose he told them that
( thev ought to be home, cleaning up
I their homes. Rather crude, don't you
Mrs. George G. Meade Large Mrs
