and sometimes she gave US candy,
which endeared her that much more
to us. But there was always an at
mosphere Of mystery surrounding
her, because, after ALL wasn't she seen
coming, from, and going into the
witch's house? 1t was many years
before we knew that this young girl
was the one we were taught to avoid
and that she was in reality the witch,
wicked witch who had killed the
very best within herself.
There was story OF how this girl
had run away from a good home and
widowed mother with a man who
proved to be already married. A few
months later, she returned to find her
mother had died of a broken heart.
When the girl came home and fell on
her knees repentant, had the neigh
bOrs come then and offered to help
her in those penitential hours of re-
morse and atOncment, would she have
become the painted lady of the town,
the germ of moral plague among
them?
What a boon to a broken spirit or
an anguished heart is a kind word
spoken Compassionately at the time
we need it most! What 4 salvation
it has been to many lives, even saw
ing them from that easiest way which
is the hardest and thorniest path hui
mainly ever treads!

BOSTON SYMPHONY in
CONCERT At NATIONAL
DR.. Karl Muck. Conducting Orchestra.
Offers Program of Classical and
Romantic Music.

DR.. Karl Muck, conducting the Bos-
ton Symphony Orchestra, was in fe-
licitous mood at the National The
alter yesterday afternoon.
The five composers represented on
the program were all German and. ex-
cepting Wagner, all were OF the clas-
steal and romantic old school They
were interpreted by the conductor
with a spirit of enthusiasm and a
depth OF insight that made a delight
fully harmonious element in the aft
ernoon's enjoyment.
The soloist, Mr.. Ossip Gabrilowitsch,
played two consecutive numbers. The
fist, Mozarts Concerto in ID minor.
Astounding I'm lovely melodies, with a
background of splendid orchestration,
seemed like a rare old jewel in a set
ting of purest gold. 1t was most deli
cately interpreted by both pianist and
orchestra with great effect Mr.. Gabri-
lowitsch plays with excellent singing
tone and his pianissimo effects are
clear but round and velvety in quality.
The concert piece in F minor by
Weber was brilliantly given with the
romantic spirit OF the story about
which it is woven. In the bravura
passages Mr. Gabrilowitsch showed
splendid force and ringing tone. while
the wonderful march" heralding the
return of the warrior. was played with
a rhymthic beat that was irresistible.
The audience was extremely enthusiast
tic and Mr.. Gabrilowitsch was recalled
several times.
The orchestra gave an excellent rendi-
ton of Handles Concerto in F Major.
1t is full OF familiar themes from the
oratorios OF the same composer and the
effect is given stately and dignihed har-
mony with very little tonal contrast and
variety.
The Wagner overture from Tam
hauser" was the closing number and
quite different in construction and treat
ment from the other compositions on
the program. DR.. Muck gave this piece
a wonderful Interpretation, and although
his orchestra needs little guidance and he
generally can afford TO give these artists
free rein, several little points were
brought out wildly and added greatly
to the musical value of the overture.
The opening number of the program,
Schumann's symphony in B-fiat Major,
written in romantic style. was full OF
melodious themes and pleasing harmo-
nies-the "Larghetto" movement is full OF
religious sentiment and devotional spirit
The whole symphony is of a joyous and
vigorous character-and was written by
SChumann to celebrate his marriage.
This was the fifth and last concert OF
the Boston symphony Orchestra this sea-
son. A distinguished audience which
included Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, filled the
theater. NJ. J.. s.

= ONE call it conscience-these

y haunting ghosts of yesterdays
mistakes that trail after us,
eternally knocking at our door or
confronting us when the banquet is at
its height; laughing, mocking, taunt-
ing US when we would Danish them
forever.
But so it goes that in the certain
cycle of years mistakes will always
boomerang-that is, the wanton mis-
takes which we commit with our eyes
open and upon them, as it were. Per-
haps we pay for unconscious errors
and there are times when we cannot
comprehend the punishment because
our mistakes were committed limo
Gently Those are the crimes against
ourselves, against natures laws,
which we disobey in the fullness of
our youth and suffer for at maturity.
Beware, girls, you who boast OF
Drawing every cline and change Of
weather without a thought for your
health! Girls who keep late hours
and let themselves be dragged into
uncertain atmospheres where they
are tempted by the devils brew may
not realize it at the time, but when
summer and autumn come they pay
for this overindulgence of spring.
An act may travel far and its Mem
esis be long delayed, but the boom
erang, speeding far on its course, is
destined to return.
We often lose sight of our crimes
and think we are living them down
and will never have to face them
again, when, 10, and behold! there
comes a knocking at our hearts and
in stalks the ghost, as formidable as
a live thing.
While we have to atone and suffer
for our mistakes, grave or even gay,
that is punishment enough and we
do not ask or want our neighbor to
make law unto himself which con-
dennis US. While our conscience
points its finger at US and the eyes
of our soul look deep into the eyes
of our body, we neither want our
neighbors' eyes upon us nor their
fingers pointing at us, nor do we
want to hear their whispers behind
our backs as we shamble around cor
ners to avoid them.
OF course, sometimes their silent
or noisy disapproval is a part of our
punishment, which, in order to make
us truly humble, we must be subject
ed to. But as time dulls these sins
of ours and we try to rise above
them. phoenix-like, willing to wear
sackcloth and ashes in atonement,
then should our neighbors reach out a
helping hand, for human compassion
has divinity within itself.
When | was little. girl, there lived
in our town what our mothers and
fathers called painted woman" and
there were prescribed boundaries even
drawn around her little home. The
children were told they must not
speak to this woman, so among our
selves we imagined she was a witch
who might take us prisoners and per-
haps even torture US to death by
boiling US alive in a great big caldron
or baking US in her oven.
Sometimes we would be very dar-
ing, and four or FIVE Of US, clinging
to each others arms, would go just
as close to her gate as we could. But
the horrible old woman we dreamed
lived there never came out-only
young girl with a pale, sad face,
whom we looked at with awe because
we imagined that either she was I'M
der the witch's spell or was the
witch's own daughter.
Often she stopped and spoke to us,
