u. D. C's. RECEIVE
GRATEFUL LETTER

There was an enthusiastic meeting
of Kennesaw Chapter, U. D. c., at the
residence of Mrs. r. N. Holland on
Tuesday afternoon, at which there
were eighteen ladies present
This organization cares for two
little French orphans, and the mem
bers are much interested IN discuss
ing ways and means for the support
of this boy and girl. A letter of
thanks from the mother of the lit
tie girl was read land is as follows:
Meudon, 30th Dec. 1918.
Dear Madame:
hasten to reply to your good let
ter, which I received with much
pleasure. / am happy to see that IN
spite of the sorrows caused by this
horrible war, which has made my two
poor children orphans, we have not
been wholly forsaken. God has not
abandoned us, since there are good
souls who interest themselves in US.
I thank him with all my heart.
1t has been eighteen months since
nv unfortunate husband was killed
at the front. l assure you, madame,
that | have suffered violent sorrow
from it-he was such good husband
and such good father, as we'll as an
excellent Christian. We have sus-
tanned a very great loss. Destiny
has willed that it should be so, alas.
God has chosen him among the IN
nocent victims, so numerous, who
rest in this horrible furnace and who
have paid with their lives so many
sacrifices. For eighteen months
have hardly managed to support my
two children with the fruit of my Ia
Dor, in addition to the modest pen
sion to which I am entitled and the
little help that the committee for or
phans gives me.
NV dear madame, you ask me when
my little Madeleine is going to make
her first communion. She had that
happiness on the 30th of last May,
a day which was still sad for US, as
her her poor father was no more. l
did not have new dress for her, as
nv means did not permit me to buy
one. The directress of her school had
the kindness to obtain one from a
charitable lady, but had to return
it, as it was merely loaned. 1t gave
me great pleasure and rendered an
immense service. Now she keeps up
her study of the catechism. | have
no new dress for her and l shall have
to ask if this lady will again lend me
what is necessary.
Ny dear madame, be assured that
your letter was good news to me, and
| shall be very happy ifyou come to
my aid. | thank you with all my
heart. Believe me, wholly grateful
M. Prive.

Missouians Ask Reed to Quit.

A very peculiar theft was that of
$50 Bibles, property of The Gideons,
from the Cecil Hotel in Atlanta last
week. They were in boxes and had
never been unpacked and it is hardly
thought the thief could have suspect
ed the contents of the boxes when
they were taken from the hotel, and
it is more than propable that the
property will be abandoned as soon
as it's character is ascertained.

STOKOWSK| CHARMS
WITH TONE POEMS

program of orchestral richness,
with absolute music predominating.
was given by the Philadelphia SYM
phony Orchestra under Leopold
Stokowski in the third of the series
at the National Theater yesterday
afternoon. The symphony was the
ingratiating third OF Brahms and the
Sfbelius concerto for violin, a truly
virtuoso composition for the colo In
strument, was eXquisitely played by
Thaddeus Rich, concert master of the
orchestra, who was recalled three
times at its close.
This resonant, plaintive music OF
the Firms was made a romance nf
mystery and and beauty by soloist
and orchestra alike. The violin i'm
Inediately acclaimed the vibrant spiril
OF the music in soaring aria given
with purity, yet full of local color
and rich in its harmonies, resolving
into a cadenza that was fOrcefully
given. A second cadenza of create
breadth was exquisite IN it's plaintive
tone values and rarely executed with
its fluent arpesglos and suave runs.
Tone Picture Background.
Against the sweeping breadth OF
the violin the orchestra held a dra
matte. dark tone picture, full of at
mosphere in strongly delineated types
that StOkowski so masterfulIy ac-
Centuates. In softest tones the whole
orchestra seemed to give a back
ground OF harp-like quality, ex-
quisite harmony and deep sadness.
Against this poignant music. the
Brahms symphony stands out as a
Inelodious gem Of seductive dance
rhythms; the waltz, with a native
folk quality of harmony, swaying in
all the colors of the orchestra, was
alluring in a wealth Of instrumental
ton. Striking themes abound in this
beautiful work. the soft choral sung
by the winds, the unforgettabIe "Poe'a
Allegretto," that slow, ingratiatiny
waltz of the third movement Int1
this rhythmic masterpiece of rich
harmony. StokOwski put the sweep
ing force of cumulative intensity that
built great climaxes with warm
orchestral hues.
Holds Lure of the Dance.
The lure of the dance. the beauty OF
the instruments dwell in ones
thoughts from this melody-land of
| Brahms.
Excerpts from BerliOz's "Damna.
ton Of Faust" added a scenic pro-
gram touch to the program with a
"Menuet," the airy "Danse des
Sylphes" and vital climax in the IN
spiriting "Marche HOngroise."
The audience was a capacity one.
and the opening of the program with
the dignified and impressive rendition
Of "The Star-Spangled Banner" was
listened to with reverence, as the vast
assembly stood. J. Mach

TOFREE IRELAND

: LIVERPOOL, Jan. 15.-Sir Horace
Plunkett, Irish leader, has left for
america in an effort to influence pub
N~iT'on there to bring about a
settlement OF the Irish question be-
s0.r ne peace conference ends. Just
before his departure today he ex-
pressed the hope that England and
ireland would be able to adjust their
differences at the peace table.
: "Irishmen are not unmindful of the
fact that President Wilson will repre-
sent more of their countrymen at the
peace conferences than even Premier
Lloyd George" said Sir Horace.
2 II am going to America in the hope
OF meeting friends OF my country and
discussing the Irish situation with
them. / am hoping that the continued
interest of Americans in our problems
will make an Irish settlement pos
sibIe before the peace deliberations
end.
"I am one Of those Irishmen who
hoped the war would bring England
and ireland together. / still hope
they will get together in the greater
world settlement"
