The Red Cross piano recital,
which took place FRIDAY evening
March 90, at the opera house,
was brilliant social function
and dlstinct arushc success
Under the marked execu tive
ability Of MISS Jerome Sage
every detail had been SO careful
ly arranged that the whole pro-
gram was CARR out with a
smooth precision that added
much to the artistic effect of the
performance as IL whole. Tall
wicker baskets. Overlooking with
great masses of exquisite dog
wood blossoms, and the feathefV
pinkness Of wild honeysuckle,
made of the stage a bower OF
beauty, and a fit setting for the
fresh young lovliness OF the
talented girls in their dainty
evening gowns.
The trst number on the pro.
gram, the Chaminade Concert
stucke, was given with unusual
clearness and assurance. Miss
Onola Williamson as SolOlst,
with MISS Erma Curry taking
orchestral parts on second piano,
played this really great master

come true almost IN the begin.

The whole program received
the closest attention and appre-
ciatlon from a large audience Of
the music lovers of our city who
had gathered to do honor to
these talented girls and their dis
tingulshed leader, MISS Poin-
dexter, who IS not only a music
ian of marked talent. but lady
OF rare charm of manner and
wonderful magnetism. who pos
sesses to an unusual degree the
faculty of inspiring her pupils
with her own intense love for her
art.

Starkvllle people that every one
of these girls has had part of
her earlier musical training un-
der our own Miss Sage. and it
was due to her efforts and IN
fuence that this musical treat
was made possible.
Immediately after the recital
the Red Cross held an informal
reception In the Masonic Hall
IN honor of MISS Polndexter and
her pupils. Many of those who
had heard the music attended the
reception. and enjoyed a social
half hour with the musicians.
The recital. as we'll as beng
such a delightful affair. realized
a substantial sum for the treas

who have lost their ALL in the
great war. The Red Cross Is
cooperating with the G. r B. in
this work, and has designated
the fortnight from April l to
15 to be devoted to special
drive for securing partly worn
clothing and bedding for these
stricken people. Arrangements
have been made to ship hundreds
of tons OF this clothing every
month as supplementary cargo In
general cargo vessels. The al

Hotel LIFE is
CHEAPER FOR GLASS
New Cabinet Member Finds
1t Too Expen i've to
Keep House
MISS McADOO MUST
PLAY IN TIE PARK
By CAROLYN VANCE BELL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-High cost OF
living In Washington won a far-famed
victory In routing one William Gibbs
McAdoO from official life.
II Is Interesting TO note how MoAdoo's s
successor as secretary Of the treasurer,
Carter Glass, will deal with IT,.
His plan Is very simple.
Glass will continue TO live in the
Raleigh Hotel, where he has lived with
his family for eight years, while the
McAdoos strove to maintain a fashion
able house In Sixteenth street, the most
fashionable street In the world.
The Raleigh Hotel Is on Pennsylvania
avenue. The Glass apartment Is COR
ner suite on the seventh loor-parlor.
bedroom and bath
From the windows one can look
down on q stretch Of avenue and on the
heads Of more famous men than In any
other place unless II be Versailles But
the management OF the hotel says 1t
does not charge anything extra for that
sort OF thing. merely fate rate OF si2
a day for suite. But il Is presumed
Glass gets a reduction. as he rents the
apartment on a yearly basis.
II one has a mind for figures IL viii
be seen that this compares well with
the $4,000 yearly rental McAdoo pays
for his house. Glass pays less than
half as much as McAdoo paid.
Mrs. Glass Is fond OF their farm home
near Lynchburg, Va. Although Carter
Glass has been In Congress IS years,
Mrs. Glass has spent a great deal OF
time at the old homestead
Living at a hotel disposes Of the SER
want problem. While the McAdoo
household is not one OF the most ex-
pensive In Washington. seven servants
are needed 10 keep 1t going. The list
includes a cook who draws $1,000 a
year, a combination waitress and par
lor maid and a chambermaid, each re-
celving $500 year. a kitchen maid. a
hOuseman and a coachman. There isn't
any chauffeur, for the McAdoos ride
about In a victoria, one OF the old
fashioned low-neck affairs, the possess
sion Of whclh in Washington is a mark
OF distinction.
The McAdoo house is Of the flat-faced
English style OF architecture, popular
here, costing between $50 900 and $4,000.
II Is Of fancy red brick, four stories
high and trimmed with stone.
There is a pocket handkerchief front
yard, enclosed with stiff hedge similar
TO others adjoining It, and no back yard
at all. The granddaughter OF the Presi-
dent, little Ellen. needs must indulge
her stone age instincts digging in the
park under the eye Of her nurse.
Things are beginning 10 look up In a
social way In Washington During the
war little entertaining was done But
now a series Of receptions. Victory"
celebrations, have been started, and
probably anticipated this addi-
tional strain on his pocketboek.
