G. STEVENS MAKES LIBRARY
SOME VALUABLE PRESENTS

C. stevens has just given to the
public library 70 volumes OF the
Century Magazine bound in three
quarters leather. This includes the
Scribner's Monthly, which was the
beginning of the Century in 1870,
and brings the issue down to l9l0.
Mr.. Stevens is having the remain
der of the Century up to present
date bound and will continue to
keep up the binding of this maya
zine for the library. This is very
valuable and serviceable gift as
magazines are the most used refer
ence material in library and un-
bound are inconvenient for use by
patrons, and require much work and
expense to keep accessible. With
the Pooles Abridged Index and
Readers Guide to Periodical Liter
ature indexing magazine articles
from 1916 to this month, almost any
subject may readily be found treat
ed by the best authorities.
Mr.. Stevens has also recently
given to the library volumes of
Little Classics, 5 volumes of Poe's
works, handsome edition of Turk
ish fairy tales, a similar one of
Lang's Book of Myths, and a num-
Der of recent novels.

TERMED INDECENT BY ONE
Lecturer Repeats Censure of such
Nudity in Ballroom as a Plain
Abominaion.

Miss Janet Richards, who in her cur

Gently criticised the costumes worn at
the Artists Masque Ball, in that city,
upon her return to Washington re-
peated the language she used in char
acterlzing the dancers.
She declared that she had nothing
to retract, and that she was upheld
by a majority OF listeners, judged by
letters that had come to her.
Il said that what was fine and ap-
propriate on the stage, when trans
ferred to the ballroom without change
or addition Of costume became a
transformation from the beautiful TO
the abominable.'
an a word, 1 regard such nudity
in a ballroom a plain abomination. I
did not use the words vulgar nor
horrible Accumulation seemed to me
at once stronger and more appropri-
ate.
Bathing Suits in Ballroom.
In reply to Miss sartain, I may say
that while fully appreciate her view
point regarding the pageant itself.
and agree that it was both beautiful
and artistic and reflected great credit
upon the art societies that so success
fully staged II, still one may be per-
mitted to observe that the costume
OF the bathing beach is scarcely the
dress for the ballroom, under the most
elastic conditions. That representa-
tive people, both in and out OF 'artis-
tic circles cannot only condone but
defend such offenses against good
taste is perhaps the most significant
and regrettabls feature of the entire
incident"
Upon her return here Miss Richards
found a mass Of correspondence from her
friends in Philadelphia and other cities
had said about the artists ball. From
some she permitted these quotations, de-
Ginning to allow the names OF the writer's
to be used. The writers are leading
women in Philadelphia, all Of them
prominent in society, and In the cultured
movements in that city.

While a few members Of your audi

about the Artists Bal Masque can

majority, who sat near sister and
