Meditations on Urchins

once in while we take the Urchin to
" Broad Street Station as a special treat
He is always greatly delighted with the
showcases at the newsstands, which come
right down to the floor and are illuminated
inside. He evidently thinks that these cases
arc meant particularly for him, and examined
them the other day with close attention.
Memories of certain doll he had often seen
at Fierceforest came back to his mind.
"Santa Claus came to Broad Street Stashun
and left some beach vamps," he said.
T1HE Urchin has an ingenious method of
i indicating distinctions of time. All future
time is tomorrow. All past time, very
ingeniously, he denotes as ago Santa
Claus came "Christmas ago" Also Cthough
we may be imputing system to what is mere
chancc) he seems to have a secret theory
that the plural verb is to be used concerning
anything he greatly admires. His chief cX-
citement is to be taken through the tunnel
where Fifteenth street goes under Broad
Street Station-or indeed under anything
that seems to be tunnel And so, being a
connoisseur of tunnels, he describes Broad
Street Station as ''the place where the
tunnel are.
TNI1E fastidiously active logic of child 5
l. mind is pleasant to contemplate. The
Urchin always uses "goed" as the past
tense of 'go." and ''comed' as the past
tense of come" as all children do. But
we hate to think of his disllusion when we
have to explain that he ought to say went
and 'came." Unhappily. it will probably be
the first time that his hitherto unblemished
intellectuals will face the fact that this
perverse world is not conducted on logical
sequences
TIME general conclusion to which any
l. honest observer of childhood must come
is that children S virtues are their own their
vices are unconsciously acquired by imitation
of their parents, chiefly their fathers,
THEIR minds are so delightfully."- lucid,
l. prompt and original when they are young
it seems sad to think that they will grow
up into senators, anti vaccination Mysteries,
colyumists free verse poets after dinner
speakers and other addlewits.

AUDIENCE NOVELTY
Philadelphia Orchestra Presents
Music Depicting Landing Of
the Pilgrims.

Introduction OF two novelties
marked the second concert of the
Philadelphia Orchestra, Leopold
Stokowski. conductor, at the National
TheAter yesterday afternoon. The
nrst was "a Pilgrim Vision" by John
Alden Carpenter; the second, Brahms
Concerto for yioloncello and orches-
ira. op. 102.
The Carpenter work was written In
commemorstion OF the landing OF the
Pilgrims and WAS given its first hear
ing In Philadelphia a month ago.
The work opens with an adaptation
OF the hymn. "old Hundred" for or
gan. representing the last religious
service OF the Pilgrim band In Eng
land. The departure Is then taken up.
In explaining the purpose OF his work
the composer writes: I'VE are asked
TO watch their ship as II sails away
and disappears under the edge OF the
sky. Surely an extraordinary adyen-
ture! And surely, at the moment
when the sea seems Ms most ire
mendous. and the Pilgrim ship its
most forgotten. IL Is easy TO think
that in that moment the eye OF God
rested upon them and smiled. For
the sea speeds them on their way and
they come at last to the shore Of
their hope. We can share in the
exultation Of their landing, in the
Joy OF their discovery and we can
feel with them the thrill OF the
future America"
The solo instruments in the
Brahms number were played by
Thaddeus Rich and Michel Penha The
andante movement OF the concerto Is
one OF the most beautiful OF the mas
ter's works.
The concert closed with the Lob en-
grin prelude and the overture and
Venusberg music OF the Paris version
of "Tannhauser."
