Every time read one of the programs
of these concerts marvel at the knowl'
edge and skill of these children VINO are
growing up among us, for they can play.
As musician said TO me recently, Phha-
delphia makes little talk about her music
there is very little furore about 1t at nome
or in other cities, but the Philadelphia au-
dience knows music and it knows when IL
good and when it Is not" And I have
been thinking this over and realizing the
~ truth of Il; and 7 think it Isl because so
many of us start music almost from the
cradle I'D and are not taken up with rag
time jigs, but go in for real music wiz
ness the Junior clubs program and the
variety of instruments upon whlch t"e
coming generation is gaining Skill
The concert on Saturday will he heid at
3:15 o'clock, and it is an invitation aHa'r'
OF course. There will be a fore"ord pE
Carroll Spencer, and then Brahms's Hun
garian Dance" will be played by Dorothy
Hodge. Helen Chance and Miss Grat' on

sister, Florence Michel, will give two Sc
lections from Greg in a harp and Nioln

\ picture anything more enhancing than
Anne, with her lovely face, exquisite color
h ing and soft hair. playing a great golden
n harp and what is more. playing 1t en-
"A tremely we'll? She is the daughter OF the
n Tom Ashtons you know, and is quite
VI little horsewoman as we'll as musician.

Strange to say, there Is not a boy on

n vTTELL, would you believe that Isabel

~ ieas and was guest of honor at one on
saturday given by her mother. Mrs. Will

ia house. 234 South Twenty second street.
IN SEwonder how the children appreciated that
fN dining room of the Freemans. It's 6
work of art! The floor is cement and has
wonderful inlaid border effect of blue
! tiles and the stone fireplace has an inlaie
tiled border, too. The ceiling is dead white
with black oak rafters, and the walls ar
also white with black oak wainscoting.
All the furniture is of black oak, bu
hest of all there is wide inside window sill
which faces on Twenty.second street AM

named windows. 1t is made OF cement ant

covered with growing plants. can te'

\ rises went to Washington about four year
ago.
