The Profile.
By EDNA KENT FORBES.

IT has been said that every human
L being has two faces-the full face
and the profile. and to read the char
acter correctly. each should have a
careful study and a deduction be made
accordingly. The profile, however.
portrays more Of the real character
than the full face: It is usually much
older than the full. and rarely as
soft and pretty. A beautiful profile
is seldom found, as It requires a per-
fectly straight nose. a good tilt to the
chin. with fine curves to the throat;
however, a compensation for not hav-
ing a lovely profile, is the fact that
IL is rarely noticed, except when It is
beautiful-then It asserts itself all
the time.
The extremely bad profile is even
less noticed than the good one: and

National Consumers League Out
lines Plan for Lessening DAN
gers to Toilers.

LOUISVILLE, KY, November 22.-
After having reelected Secretary Of
War Baker as its president and choos-
ing twenty-five other officers, the con-
vention here of the National Consumers
League discussed plans today. for a
campaign to promote better working
conditions among the workers of the
country.
A tentative plan, which delegates said
would be adopted, declares that the
league should educate public opinion and
SO direct it's force as to bring about a
great lessening of dangers for workers
in unwholesome industrial surround
ings.
The plan also declares for an increas-
ed share of labor in responsibility for
the conduct Of industry. TIL" league
proposes to promote legislation. either
state or federal, if necessary to carry
out its program.
An eight-hour day for women and
children was urged in a resolution
adopted by the 1000 woman delegate ties
! last night. Another resolution urged a
cooperative movement to bring about
"a decrease in the cost Of living. while a
third resolution gave approval of the

Washington Philharmonic Concert

S. NJ. Fabian, at the piano, scored a
personal triumph with LISTS rformi-
dable Hungarian Fantasie" at the
fourth concert of. the Washington
Philharmonic Orchestra at the knick-
erbocker Theater yesterday afternoon.
Backed by the splendid playing of
the orchestra, which has grown in
power with each concert, Mr.. Fabian
rendered the fant&sie with the high
est appreciation CT its broa! sweeps
of tone. He gave the basic theme of
the List number with yigor. yet the
supporting complicated harmOnies re-
ceived requisite delicacy of treatment.
The pianist received an ovation. Mr..
Fabian was the first soloist TO appear
with the orchestra, and his cordial re-
ception demonstrated anew the appeal
which the good soloist has. even on a
short orchestral program.
The orchestra. under the batonless
hands of Conductor Hammer, gave its
best program TO date. played with
more than its usual ability. The ad-
vance in power from concert to con-
cert has been marked. The rendition
rescue" yesterday marked it's highest
attainment i'll the current series.
Every nuance of the four scenes
played showed discrimination on the
part of both conductor and orchestra
members. From the dainty "Marche"
10 the riotous "Fete Bohemc" the
work was superb. Especially pleas
ing We're the rich melodies which fell
to the violoncellos. "Angelus" showed
he orchestra's ability to achieve
broad mass effects.
Grieg's I'm Autumn overture was
the opening number. 4 mournful
wistful thing. it was a splendid intro
ductory number for the Liszt fantasie e
and the melodious Massenet scenes.
The audience was not as large as
the fine work of the local musicians
uferited. Perhaps an orchestra is not
without honor except in its own city
