LEGINSKA DELIGHTS
in PIANO RECITAL
Famous Artist Appears Before Sc
leet Audience at National.

Nine. Leginska. pianist, gave one
OF the most enjoyable recitals heard
in Washington this season at the Ma
tional Theater yesterday afternoon.
before an audience that atoned in it's
appreciation for what II lacked in size.
Mrs. Wilson and a party of guests oc-
cupied a box. The auditorium was
little more than half-filled, the small
attendance undoubtedly being due to
the weather, as Leginska has filled
the house on her previous appearances
in Washington.
The opening number was schu-
mann's Sonata in G minor Op. q,
which was effectively climaxed in the
fourth movement. The applause which
greeted the Sonata marked a turning
point in Leginska's work and from that
time her skill found more and more
expression. She repeated the familiar
fourth movement as an encore and
then gave Godowsky's Angelus with a
touch SO exquisitely delicate that her
hearers were charmed.
Her execution Of the next number.
Chopin's Etude in c minor Op. 10 may
best be described by the overworked
word ''wonderfuT' for at times she
accomplished the seemingly impossi-
Bile. She again responded TO an en-
core. After Chopin's Berceuse and
Etude IN A minor, Op. q, Leginska
played the same composers Sonata in
B iat minor Op. IS and attained a
pinnacle of expression seldom heard
in the rendition of this masterpiece.
The final number. iszt's Rigoletto
Paraphrase was given SO effectively
that Leginska was recalled for two
encores and the audience noted with
pleasure the note at the bottom of
the program: 'Ieginska will be one

I the business. 1 wish, however, YOU
could have witnessed the nervous
paroxysms of Mother Trent when
she saw it.
The rage of the widow of the re-
tired contractor. who began life as
an excavator, was nothing in COM
parison with hers. You remember
the foolish little story of Tim, who
after reaching riches, died and left
a widow who was as ignortant as
he had been and who. upon gazing
at the flowers that had been sent
to mark his passing, came upon an
anchor that some one had placed
near the coffin of her husband and
asked in dangerous tones. What
I want to know it, who sent that
pick?'
Mrs. Trent, being more polished,
insisted that horrible atrocity
should be thrown on the ash heap"
1t was right here that Dick took
a hand. Mother" he said. 81 have
often been annoyed with you. but
l do not think 1 was ever as
ashamed of YOU as now.
Il know that of all the flowers,
sent through the friendship that
some have had for a good man, none
have carried with them the real
grief and love that does this tribute.
"One OF Mr.. Trent's old employes
met me on the street today. And II
when 1 go out. someone speaks of
me with the same gratitude, the
same friendship and the same sor-
row. that this man spoke Of your
husband, shall feel that I have
not lived in vain"
That's all right, Richard" Sob
bed his mother, but you would not
spoil all the beautiful appropriat-
ness of these lovely flowers by that
atrocious thing. would you? 1 tell
you can't have it there. And you
have placed it in the most con-
spicuous place. too. II we must
have it. put it down out of sight
under the casket."
Poor Dick, could almost read
his thoughts, as he said decisively
That floral piece stays right where

CONVENTION BOWS TO SINCERITY.

Mother Trent is absolutely one of
those women who has been kept un-
spotted from the world. She has
no worldly experiences. no mind
awakening. no necessity, or at least
she has always decided she had no
necessity for self-sacrifice. and 1t
has made her the most selfish, dis
agreeable woman that l have ever
known.
Perhaps I have said too much
about her. little book. but she and
her kind exasperate me so that
must get it out of my system" as
Dick would say.
Her very attitude on the flowers
that have been sent to her the last
few days makes me so disgusted
/ can hardly talk to her, and i
of my life, and that in some way
would never have to talk to her
again.
After she had found that many
of the flowers had been sent over
to Dicks and my house to be placed
on Mr.. Trent's casket she imme-
diately asked who had sent them,
and she named over this or that
person, making very caustic COM
ments, IL a wreath or box of flowers
had not been sent by them.
