THE COMFORTS OF HOME

Whoever has toiled for long, hot,
dull, wearisome way through barren,
uninteresting country and come at last
to a shadowy, quiet, little grove where
flowers bloomed and a cool spring
cleaned, found that his whole being re-
sponded to its beauty, his tense nerves
relaxed, his mind was refreshed and
his heart free. Some such exultation
of spirit comes to a man who enters a
simply, unpretentiously furnished
home after a hard, fatiguing day of
work. The grove is restful because it
is never pretentious; it is beautiful
but is not, as one might say, conscious
of the fact. This same simple spirit
Of unpretentious beauty should be a
characteristic of every home. Preten-
tiousness is the opposite of truth, so
never accomplishes anything; a pre-
tender is always held in contempt and
never arrives anywhere. Simplicity,
as Wagner in his Simple Life" so
eloquently and convincingly points out,
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-03-04

is never relegated to any one phase OF
life. A laborers life may be the most
complex and complicated of eXistences
while rich mans may be free from
intricacy, affectations and artificiality.
Simplicity consists in being ones self
with no attempt to deceive. A beauti-
full room should be no more pretentious
than a beautiful flower. 1t can be
humble like the violet, sumptuous like
the rose. elegant and stately like the
lily, gracious like a spreading oak tree,
but in every case it must be itself, hon
est and with no assembling.
There is something that borders on
immortality in imitation period furni-
ture. 1t is dishonest, for it assumes
to be something that it is not and
should be as scorned as counterfeit
gold. Faithful copies are an entirely
different matter and are not to be
ranked with the loose. untruthful
shams, so commonly offered for sale.
If furniture is sold under period names
! 1t should be the best possible represen-
tative piece. A chair that is sold as
Gothic or Jacobean or Chippendale
should be truthful reproduction of a
characteristic example of the work of
those times. Many OF our homes seem
naturally to require Colonial furniture
Some need ornate French, others the
rich Spanish, and when supplied with
honest, not fraudulent, copies of those
periods are charming and without af-
fectation, because they truly represent
a period or the desire of the owner of
the house.
| In this series of articles on home fur
nishing we are endeavoring to point
out, by presenting the matter in sew
eral different ways, the beauty of un-
pretentiousness. There is no reason
why we should make our rooms like
committee rooms or give them the cold
and awe-inspiring atmosphere of the
class rooms or lecture hall by having
chairs all alike and tables made after
similar model

THE DISHONESTY
OF EXTRAVAGANCE
BY nOrnfhv niN

There are two kinds of thievery.
One is the open and above board dis
honesty of the robber, and the other is
the dishonesty of the dead beat. And
OF the two the dishonesty of the dead
beat Is the more contemplate.
The porch climber and the burglar
risk their liberty and their necks in
their profession. also they are avowed
enemies to society and give you a
chance to protect yourself against their
depredations. And they do not prey
upon their friends.
The dead beat. on the other hand, is
sneakthief who trades on the fact
that his thievery is so smoothly done
that he cannot be punished for it, and
that he keeps always within the law.
He is an inside worker against whom
you cannot defend yourself. and his
victims are his friends and his family
and acquaintances, those who trust
him.
The dead beat does not use a jimmy
and dark lantern when he starts out
to rob. Nor does he put pistol to the
head of the individual he proposes
holding up. His methods are much
more subtle. He gets your money by
borrowing and by means of bills that
he makes without any means or the
remotest intention of ever paying.
When it comes down to a matter of
real honesty no man or woman con-
victed of thievery and serving their
term in penitentiary is one whit
more guilty than those men and women
who are always touching" us for a
little loan, or who buy things that they
cannot afford and for which they never
| pay.
What is the difference between the
dip" who lifts a ten-dollar bill out
of our pocket on crowded car when
we are not looking and the friend who
rushes hurriedly in and says, "Old
man, won't you let me have five or ten
dollars until pay day." we'll knowing
that there will never be any pay day
! for you?
What is the difference between the
shoplifter who sneaks lace scarf or
pair of gloves off of counter and
the woman who buys the lace scarf
and gloves, knowing that the merchant
will never get his money for them?
! Yet there are thousands of supposedly
reputable people who live by their wits
that way and who would be furiously
angry if anybody told them the truth
and that their photographs and finger
prints ought to be adorning the
Rogues' Gallery.
To many of us it is a perpetual Won
der how certain people can live in the
style they do. We know the man
makes moderate salary, yet he and
his wife live as if they were rich.
The answer to the puzzle is that they
are practising thievery as a side line.
The difference between their income
and their expenditure they pilfer from
the various merchants with whom they
deal.
The woman has stolen her clothes
from dressmakers and milliners. The
man has robbed the tailor of his, and
they've held up the butcher and grocer
for their food. It's not a pretty
thought, is it? And to one with old
fashioned ideals of honor and honesty
it seems a pity that they cannot be
made to pay the penalty of their
crimes.
Certainly there is no dishonesty thai
has so little excuse as the dishonesty
of extravaganza, and there is none sc
common.

GOOD PROGRAM
AT CHESTNUT ST.
First Appearance of
John Seifert, Tenor; Assisted
by Other Artists

Under the auspices of the Young
People OF Messiah Lutheran Church,
John Siefert of Pittsburgh, made his
first local appearance last night in
Chestnut Street Auditorium. IIe was
assisted by Master Gurney MattoX, the
Philadelphia boy violinist who made
his initial appearance in the recent
Elk Memorial; Mrs. Bumbaugh, Miss
Jane Rae. A. w. Hartman and Mrs
Wesbroom-D Dagger. Mr.. Siefert's voice
is one of exquisite beauty, and his
ability to control his mezzo voce is an
element which is going to materially
contribute to his concert success. Mr.
Siefert's program was made UP of
some of the better known modern
songs amongs which his voice found
its best expression If Life and Death, 8"
by ColeridgeT Taylor and Yesterday
and To-day by Spross. As an encore
he used II Hear You Calling Me-" the
song written for John Mccormack, to
whose voice Mr.. Siefert's is very SINH
lar. Master MattoX appealed to the au-
dience most with his two numbers
Ave Maria" and "Liebesfreud." Mrs
Bumbaugh gave n majestic interpre-
tation of Haydns with Verdure
Clad" from the Creation" as did also
Miss Rae in The Mallet's Master

THE Sours Cycle" drama of souls

Margaret Gibson the Regent Theater
In "The to-day only.
Souls Cycle" The story involves
two epochs 1t be-
gins in the old Grecian time and re-
wolves around one Theron. a Grecian
Senator. who has grown old, and to
whom honor has come, but no love.
Nadia, the innocent young daughter of
Greek nobleman, inspires passion in
his breast and he sells his soul to the
evil of hatred and revenge when she
Scorns his advances and gives her heart
to the poetic Lucian. The father of
Nadia is ambitious and connives with
the Senator to crush youth and love.
Love laughs at locksmiths" and the
young people elope. Then the Senator
sets loose the dogs of hatred and has
them brought by his slaves to burn
ing crater, into which he throws them.
For this sin the unseen arblter of souls
condemns him to enter the oody of
lion and to roam the earth even upon
the end of time. unless he shall save
youth and love even as he has killed
On Monday. Constance Collier will be
presented for the first time upon the
screen by oliver Morosco on the Para
mount program in THE Tongues of

story of a rector's unwarranted attack

tional roles.

MUNICIPAL BAND
GIVES CONCERT
Serious Attempt to Give High
Class Musical Offering
Proves Successful

The Municipal Band, forty strong
and headed bye Conductor Frank
Blumenstein, made its bow to friends
and supporters for the first time this
season at the Orpheum last evening.
The fair-sized crowd that listened ap-
preciatively to the finished work of the
high-class concert gave evidence that
the summer night band concerts at
Reservoir Park are not attended
wholly for cooling purposes. There
is large following in the city that ap-
preciates and enjoys good orchestral
work and it is unfortunate that the
Municipal Band was not alone in its
appeal; there were too many other
things going on that materially cut
in on the patronage which the local
band rightly deserved.
The names of Messrs. Clark solo
cornetist; William T. Myers, the high
school boy, who carried off the indi-
vidual violin solo honors; Mrs. II. F.
Heishley, soprano. who was frequent
ly recalled; Crawford, of the bells and
traps. the unbeatable animation of
Shirk, Burris, Stone, Lingle and CO.

others went down last evening on the

ct al. received tremedous ovations and
the increasingly excellent character of
the entire program kept the audience
in a pleasant and appreciative frame
of mind that augurs we'll for any flu
ture concerts that the Municipal or
any other band of equal ability may
see At to give in this city.
We trust that last nights concert
may be the forerunner of others, for
one does not weary of such music as
was offered Orpheum- goers last even
