Noel House Benefit.

Many brilliant entertainments have
been given in the past for the beneft
OF Noel Settlement House, but none to
equal that which the board of man
ayers will present on Tuesday evening.
February Is. at $50 o'clock. For the
first-time in the history Of charity af-
fairs in this city the attraction is to
be a motion picture: the beautiful
production, Joan the Woman" in
which Miss Geraldine Farrar is scoring
such a splendid success.
Mrs. Henry Cleveland Perkins and
Mrs Montgomery NJ. Mscomb head the
committee in charge OF the arrange
ments for the presentation, and

Cially trained orchestra from the
Forty-fourth Street Theater as well.
The use of the film is donated by Mr.
Iasky.
Joan the Woman" is said to be the
finest achievement yet credited to the
moving pictures. and 1t is believed
that social and artistic Washington
will welcome this opportunity to pass
judgment upon it. Especially since
the circumstances of presentation are
90 be absolutely unique and as nearly
perfect as possible. for Mr.. Edison
Bradley has permitted the use of the
hall Of his Dupont circle home for the
occasion 1t would be impossible TO
devise a more perfect setting for the
Joan of Arc story than this hall,
hung with beautiful tapestries and
decorated with old arms and armor,
and breathing the very spirit of the
medieval age. The settings of the
stage are to be so arranged as to
make the picture itself appear to
actually spring from its SURROUNDINGS.

YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Women Who
Have shared 1t.
By MARY MARSHALL.
February 4-Adoniram Judson and
Anne HaSseltine.

When Adoniram Judson married Anne
Hasseltine 1O5 years ago today, he offered
and demanded of her more than most
husbands. He demanded of her co-opera-
ton with him in his scheme for mission
ary work in India, and he offered her an
opportunity to realize what was just as
much her own ambition as II was his
He offered her an opportunity to do the
work that she believed herself called upon
to do, an opportunity to win "crown Of
glory" And at the same time he ex-
pected unfaltering perseverance, unfiinch-
ing courage, and almost superwomanly
firmness of purpose. When he asked her
fathers consent to the union some time
before the wedding, he told him plainly
what the marriage might mean. 1t might
nean-and it did-that the old father
would never again see his daughter. And
this was the more remarkable because al
that time no American woman had ever
gone forth as a foreign missionary. To
many of Anne's friends her determine
tion to 60 with her husband to India was
wild and romantic" One hardly looks
at missionary effort that way nowadays
Adoniram Judson was "A years old at
the time of the marriage and Anne was
a year younger. They had met at Brad
ford, Annes home in Massachusetts,
when Judson was studying theology
Similarity of taste as well as consider
able personal attractiveness on the part
of both Adoniram and Anne had brought
them together. They were both intensely
serious, and while discussing their reli-
sious experiences and matters that sell
dom are talked about in a courtship
nowadays the young man and woman de-
cided to become man and wife.
Judson was ordained the day before his
wedding and Immediately following they
set sail for India. They had no time to
lose in the accomplishment of their great
ambition.
At the time Of Mrs. Judson's death not
long after in India Judson was heart
broken but not crushed. There lies-the
form of her I so much loved" he wrote to a
friend in America, "the wife of my youth,
the source and center of my domestic
happiness" And again he wrote: She
has Just built a small house and moved
into it three weeks before she was taken
ill-alas, the new house remains for me
alone; my old home is broken up forever.
Even little Maria is too young to recog-
nize her papa, and before 1 see her VIII
have forgotten her mamma"
Judsons grief was sincere and deep but
he did not remain unconsoled. For twice
after that he ventured out on the sea of
matrimony and once again was left DESC
late by the death Of the woman he loved
