DELICATE MUSICAL FARE
Philadelphia Orchestra's French Pro-
gram Introduces Carlos Salzedo as
Harp Soloist

French music has been dominating the
weeks orchestral concerts, Walter Dam
rosch's recent program here was strongly
Gallic and Leopold Stokowsl<i's yesterday in
the Academy exclusively so. As a tribute to
the varied facets OF French composition, how
ever, the Philadelphia Orchestra's exhibit
was not altogether convincing. Virtues Of
Interpretation were abundant but the pro-
gram as whole lacked substance.
French music is not all dewdrops and lace
Save for the refreshing, vigorous Carnival
Romaine" overture yesterdays offerings, IL
regarded as representative gave that impress
sion. An innocuous. cleverly wrought but
very unimaginative symphony by Saint
Saens---his No. in A minor-began the
bill. 1t is weak specimen of talent,
often capable In other works of scaling
noble heights of artistry a score of greater
depth would have accorded more pertinence
of contrast to the dainty and artless old
melodies of Gretry. which followed With
exquisite charm and rare appreciative feel
ing Mr.. StolSowsld read the suite of three
dances, "Tambourin," ''Menuetto" and
"Gigue" from "Cephale ct Procris."
The efforts Of Carlos salzedo. the harpist,
accentuated the now rather cloying fragility
OF musical fare. This soloist heard for the
first time here as virtuoso, although for
some years his abilities enriched the Metro
politan Opera House orchestra, is an ac-
complished master of one of the most ro-
mantle OF instruments. His art has grace,
refinement and beauty, sustained by an al
most impeccable technique. But the harp,
lovely as 1t is In an orchestra, is somewhat
unsatsfying as a solo instrument.
Mr.. Salzedo's selections revealed two of
the ablest Of modern French composers In
their moods Of hyper-elegance Debussy's
"Danse Saoree" and "Danse Profane" had
considerable poetic charm and some OF the
subjective appeal typical Of the most ,origi-
nal of contemporary composers Of France
Ravel's Introduction and Allegro" gave
Mr.. salxedo richer opportunities to disclose
his slsill. and yet at the same time en-
phasized the fact that the harp is most

instrument In score.

she would request,
through the head of her household, the
crown treasurer to bring to her the orna-
ments she wished to put on. The latter sent
them to the sovereign, under an escort COM
a formal receipt would he given to him In
exchange When the Empress had taken
them off they were brought back with the
same formalities to the treasury, when the
receipt would he returned. The Dowager En-
press hated these formalites. and had OBJ
T. tained from Alexander III the authoriza-
those which belonged to the crown, but after
her wtdcwhood she was compelled to return
them, much to her sorrow.
SOME WONDERFUL JEWELS
Apart from these official parures. Marie
Feodorowna possessed also magnificent orna-
ments OF her own. among others a wonder
'ful pearl necklace, which had been be-
queathed TO her husband by his grandmother,
the wife of Nicholas ii. with the condition
that he should present IT to his consort upon
his marriage. She had also the most magnif-
icent turquoises and emeralds In existence,
and she was constantly adding to the con-
tents of her jewel boxes.
Her sister-in-law, the Grand Duchess
vladimir. also possessed quite remarkable
pearls and diamonds among others a tiara
and necklace of large brlliants with the
most extraordinary pear-shaped pearls in
the world. They were supposed to have
been given by Catherine III as wedding
present to the conscrt Of her son, the Grand
Duke Paul and to have been bequeathed by
the latter to one cf her daughters, who in
her turn left them to the Grand Duke Wladi-
mir. who In his childhood was a favorite of
hers.
The personal jewels of the Empress Marie
Aleyandrowna. the grandmother of Nicho-
las II, were equally divided among her SONS
and her daughter. the Duchess of Edinburgh
The latter had already received, when she
married any amount of ornaments. among
others the rubies which had once belonged
to the Empress Euginie. who after the revo-
luton Of september. 1870. sold them to the
Gar Alexander ii. He gave an enormous
price for them. 1t is not known what the
Duchess of Edinburgh has done with all the
wonderful jewels she possesses, but the other
most OF those which they had and sent them
to Paris and London to be sold 1t is likely
that several of these historic parures will
find there way TO the United States sooner
or later.
PRIVATE COLLECTIONS
Private ladies' In Russia also had beau
tiful Jewels. The diamonds and rubies OF
the late Madame Durnowo could have been
worn by any queen. while those Of the Prin-
cess Youssoupof were priceless. The latter

Begin Tomorrow.

Beginning Of a season of open-air
motion pictures for the public Is an
nounced for tomorrow night. when the
d. C. War Camp Community Service
Is to present on the Ellipse The
Whip" a perturbation Of the great
Drury Lane melodrama Of the same
name. The pictures are to be given
on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
evenings OF each week during the
remainder Of the summer.
Cooperating with the War Camp
Community Service are the Potomac
Electric Power Co.. the Capitol Trac-
ton Co., the Washington Railway and

ducers of the East.
The Engineers Band from Wash
ington Barracks is to give a concert
preceding the pictures.

The Whip was the sensation Of
the year. It is melodrama OF the
kind that thrills from beginning TO

realistic pieces of stage mechanism
ever devised.
Other film plays of equal impor-

season. The pictures are to be given

Why Young Husbands Get Fat.

In an article on Getting Fat" in
the American Magazine. the author
says: be-.
The great trouble with. many per-
sons who are inclined to be stout IS
that they do not realize how little it
takes to gain q few extra pounds a
month Three slices of bread, or one
third of fquart-of milk or three
quarters Of an ounce of. butter above
the body's demand. taken daily, will
cause a gain of twenty. pounds in a
year.
Newly weds. especially, are prone
to gain weight. ..!-r>.
why is .it,, a young girl who was
just married exclaimed in disrnay to
me, that almost every fellow I know
has become fat since he was married?
And John looks, as though che was
gaining weight teo. Whatis the cause
Of that?' -: u > -
THE cause, in most cases. is over
anxiety on the part of the young wife
to show what good cook she is and
to please her husband. The proudest
moment Of "a syoung wife's life is
when she hears her husband boast
to other, men how well HIS wife can
cook. d. And so she stuffs him with
richly prepared foods. running heavily
to fancy desserts, and urges second
helpings, not realizing that she is ad-
vaneing herself to widowheod?'
