Mr.. Walsh Enthusiastic.
"My heart. goes wholly into this
City Club movement, and I want to
lend all of my enthusiasm to the
building up of the organization" said
Mr. Walsh. In my former official
capacity long felt the need of great
er association with the business men
Of Washington. Washington is sad
~ in need Of an organization to draw
in the men who have come to the
capital from the states and who are
eager to become acquainted with the
citizens of the District.
I'm view of the fact that Washing
ton is disfranchised. with no imme-
plate hope of getting the vote, there
lis a very great need for a great
City Club. which will be civic forum.
a place where men of al professions
and from all walks of life can eX-
change views and come to decisions
on matters Of municipal moment. This
club should become something like
Hyde Park, in London. where the
ultra-radicals and the ultrA-conserva-
tives meet on common ground and
thrash out the problems Of the day"

SATURDAY EVENING LETTER
BY Justice J. E. Robinson

in the books or in the ruts Of the law.
Two judges conclude that the proper
thing is to give the widow a chance
to deposit with the clerk Of the court
$4,000, TO be used as the court may di-
rect, to give the poor lady a release
from seclusiOn and an outing fro sew
eral months, with the best medical and
Sanitarium treatment, and in the mean
time to await the result and suspend
legal proceedings; to affirm the judg-
ment if the widow refuse to deposit
the $4,000 and prefers to pay $4,000;
to grant a new trial if the fair lady
refuse to accept $4,000, and the out
ing and to abide the conditions. This
may or may not be the final judg-
ment. Certain it is that under the
past and present regime and the Sc
clusion of the lady there can never
be an assurance Of obtaining a fair
trial. There is no possible means Of
knowing the truth concerning the clev-
er and slumbering beauty.
Now, to change the subject, the SUI
preme court has for some one a nice
puma position of $1,000 a year as
law librarian, court reporter and court
briefer TO get the place one must
show that he will gladly give all his
time to the work, care well for the
library, brief up and present to the
judges the law on any question. In
short, he must be a worker of ability
and capacity, Of clear mental vision

It's considerably different now. Home means
more. 1t means a comfortable feeling around
brothers heart as he tosses around in transport
homeward bound-it means warmth and good
"eats" and affection and the old cat purring
around his legs and sister pattng him on the bacs
and mother fussing over him and father trying
not to look too proud.
Home means more to sister, too. She thinks
Of those friends homes broken up by the war and
those sad eyed girls who will never have homes of
their own with the sWeethearts they sent across
the seas. And sister, while feeling sorry about
those not fortunate as herself smes-as she
shoud---because everything is all right with her
own world and she's going to soon have a home of
her own, with all that means II.
Father looks around the house with new eyes.
It's been worth working for to build up home Of
love and loyalty like this It's good to have fine
wife and a charming daughter and a son to be
proud Of
And mother-the housework that used to be
drudge is easy now How could it be otherwise
when her work means comfort and pleasure to her
family when they come home?
That's it-that's what Home now is, place to
get back to! Before the war it was something to
get away from-NOW, IT'S THE BEST PLACE
IN THE WORLD TO GET BACK TO!

DEAF TO" "HEAR" TRAVEL
TALES BY LIP READING
Afflicted Herself, Bostonian Will
Bring Stories of Strange Lands

Can you imagine reading about the glories
OF Tai Mahal by moonlight of hearing"

watching some ones lips rather than by con-
ming a printed page?
That is what hearers" who attend the
travel lectures to be given by Miss Mildred
Kennedy. president and founder Of the Bos-
ton Speech Readers Guild. will dc.
Miss Kennedy herself Is deaf. and prob
ably all of her audience will be. She will
tell about the wonders of countries she has
seen In her extensive travels and those gath
cred to learn will get the message by read
ing her lips.
The lectures will be given al the Speech
Reading Club OF Philadelphia. SOC Locust
street. beginning Thursday evening. They
are open to all members of the club and to
outsiders who are hard of hearing. nor
mally endowed person probably would not
enjoy the lectures unless he, too. could read
lips. Miss Kennedy speaks in quite a low.
soft voice. never striving to make her voice
carry. as most lecturers do. But her lips
move distinctly and slowly, accurately pre-
senting the words deaf persons may un-
derstand
The first lecture. at Sis o'clock Thursday
. evening. will be on Cairo and the Pyra- =
mids, and the Vale of Cashmir." The eve
ming OF April 7 she will talk on The Tai
MahaI by Moonlight'b and April 81 on Along
the Ganges and the Isle of Ceylon"
Miss Kennedy has travelled extensively all
over the world. Perhaps because of her
dea fness the things that interested her most
and her viewpoint OF things in other lands
are particularly interesting to persons hard
of hearing.

HENDERSON TALKS
PHILHARMONIC
Gives illustrated Lecture on the
Orchestral Instruments Before
New Musical Organization

William ], Henderson. music critic of the
New York sun, gave a lecture last evening
on The Orchestra and Its Instruments
before an audience that comfortably filled
the Shuhert Theatre. The lecture was the
second event of the four meetings of the
newly organized Philharmonic Society
Mr.. Henderson was introduced by the
president of the society, Mrs. Ernest Thomas
Toogood, and his address was thoroughly
practical He wisely omitted the vast
amount of historical data relative to the
origin and growth of the orchestra which
probably would only have resulted in con-
siderable confusion in the minds OF his audi
tors, and confined himself to describing the
character of the instruments. Nine musi-
clans were present and illustrated the tone
qualities OF the instruments in the various
registers. Those Illustrated were the violin.
viola. cello. flute. oboe, English horn. clars-
net. bassoon. horn trumpet and trombone.
The supplemental Instruments. such as the
contra -bassoon. bass clarinet and Others
were described and their chief characteristics
told.
The speaker closed with a few words on
general orchestration. telling what is meant
by balance. color and other terms. At the
end of the lecture solos were played by John
cello: Anton Horner French horn; Paul
Cailet, clarinet, and several others. The
program closed with three songs well sung
by Marie Langston-Stone. Mary Miller
