Doctor John Has a Visitor.

DOCTOR John Ha0 q VISITOR,
After remaining hidden in the for
est for some time. Tonnibel stole
along toward Ithaca in the gathering
gloom. her heart filled with hope. To
get some medicine for Edith. and to
take back the picture to the father
who had offered money for 1t. were
the two things she wanted to do now.
Her young mind was busy with plans
for her mother. II she could find some
work to do. and Edith would go with
her. she would get we'll again.
That evening, just after dinner. DR..
John Pendlehaven was sitting in his
Office. his mind disturbed. his heart
aching for the sick brother upstairs,
and he remembered that the first three
or four years after the disappearance
Of Paul's daughter had been spent in
frantic search. All those working
on the case had finally decided that
Edith Mindil. a young nurse who had
cared for the child most of the time
since her mother had died and was de-
voted to her, had left home with the
baby.
He sat up suddenly. for distinctly
there came to him from the wide front
porch the patter Of feet like the soft
foOtpads of some stealthy night-ani-
NAL. He turned his eyes on the open
door that led to the pOrcll-and then

CHAPTER ~.
The PendIehavens.

In all Of Tompkins county no family
had more prestige than Pendlehavens'.
John and Paul Pendlehaven had
chosen medicine and surgery as their
vocation when they were in college.
John was bachelor. and Paul Wild
over. AT the time this story opens the
latter was an invalid. his infirmity
brought about by the death Of his
young wife. who had died Mt the birth
of their daughter. and the disappear
ance of the little girl when she was
but a year old. Pendlehaven place
comprised whole city block. on which
stood house, almost mansion. In
the family were John. Paul, and Mrs.
Curtis and her two children. Katherine
and Reginald. Mrs. Curtis was Sec
ond cousin to the Pendlehaven BROTH
ers and had made her home with them
since her children had been left father
less. Mrs. Curtis had buried two hus-
hands, Silas Curtis, the father Of
Katherine. and Edmund Brown, the
father of Reginald.
For over year now Paul Pentlle-
haven had not left his apartments in
the southern wing Of the house. Many
times he had told his brother. John,
that he only waited with what pa
thence he could for the call to 20
away, to follow after his girl-wife. and
perhaps. well, perhaps his child might
now be with her mother.
On the day that Uriah Devon re-

cousin. Mrs. Curtis. at dinner.

her lips drew down at the corners.

He paused moment and then went
on, Another thing dislike to speak

"Were they?" queried Mrs. Curtis

angry.

replied Doctor Pendlehaven, ignoring

my habit to interfere between you anG
your children, Sarah. but do wish

Mrs. Curtis. If the child. did sell

''Don't Worry and Live
Long, Says Professor
Moderation in All Things," Is
Another Formula Given by
DIR. Cenrge l.. Mexlan

Don't worry, and be moderate in all
things if you want to live to be seventy
or more. This recipe for longevity was
given yesterday by DR.. George L. Mey-
Ian, director Of the Columbia Univers-
ity gymnasium, after an investigation
Of the modes of life Of those who live
long and those who die prematurely.
"Thcre is abundant evidence" says
DR.. Meylan, "to justify the belief that
the average duration of life could be
increased from 10 to 20 years by the
general adoption Of the principle, mod
GRAFTON in all things" Deaths by in
fectious disease or violence are ex-
ccpted.
The characteristics of people over
seventy years old, DR.. Meylan finds, are
that they do not worry, have a happy
disposition, and eat, drink, exercise and
enjoy themselves moderately.
Exactly the opposite conditions" he
says, "are found almost invariably in
persons between 30 and 70 years who
suffer from organic disease of the nerv-
Gus, digestive, excretory, or circulatory
systems and premature senility, but the
vicious circle of unhygienic living usu-
ally includes r-stimulation, worry,
excesses in pleasure, abuse of drugs
and worry"

Maeterlinck and Pond
Fail to Come to Terms
Poets Attorneys Issue State
ment of Regret After Con-
ference With MANAGER

Efforts to compose the differences be-
tween Maurice Maeterlinck and ]. B.
Pond. lecture manager, arising from
Mr.. Maeterlinck's inability to master
English sufficiently we'll in six weeks
to address audiences, failed yesterday.
Following conference. participated in
by Mr.. Pond, w. S. Angelman, his at
torney, and Mr.. Maeterlincks lawyers,
Stanchfield e. Levy, the last named
issued statement. in which thew said ::
After most patient and persistent
attempts to adjust the differences be-
tween Mr.. Maeterlinck and his man
ager we are reluctantly compelled to
admit that the task has proved impos-
slble. We have no desire to air the
grievances nor to disturb the public by
reason Of them, but we deeply regret
that such unpleasant circumstances, not
OF Mr.. Maeterlinck's making. should
have arisen to mar the great happiness
which he has enjoyed in his visit here
and to interfere in his relations with
the American public, for whom he has
such high regard.
Mr.. Maeterlinck wishes, indeed. that
it were possible for him to keep every
single engagement to meet and speak
with the American people. Unfortu-
nately, his manager has made that i'm
possible, and it would now appear that
he may be deprived of that privilege.
He hopes. however, that the American
public will bear with him and will be-
lieve that he is still very anxious to
find way to give them his message,
despite all difficulties with the Ian
guage and with the management.
The statement went on to say that
Mr.. Maeterlinck's attorneys had ad-
yised him Of his rights under the con-
tract with Mr.. Pond, and intimated they
were ready to defend their position
in court.

'Frivolities of 1920
A d d e d to List
OF Musical Shows
New Play at Forty-fourth
Street Theater Pictures
Life as Vapid and Empty,
Despite Jazzy Interludes
By Haywood Broun

Something must be said for the
artist who sees life as succession of
-rultless and meaningless episodes
and then has the courage to set down
ms M observations without compromise.
Ihere @ is no denying the fact that
,FrlvolltIes OF 1920" which was pro-
duced dd at the Forty-fourth Street
Ineater last night, is gloomy, but the
question which should concern the

wrote the book Of "Frivolities Of 1920 "
has drawn more terrible Indictment
OF modern society than Cork in his
Nights Lodging" Not since An
play stripped all the pretensions of
lie away so mercilessly. The fact
that there is perfunctory semblance
OF ,gayety in music and bright colors
and barbaric dancing only serves to
throw into sharper relief the emptiness
OF life: All this is shown to be no
more than studied attempt to escape
from the thrall of existence. If there
are lnstants Of illusion, such as that
moment when the beautiful Doris
Lloyd flashes before the eyes of the
audience, brutal reality comes troop
ing back the next minute as soon "a
some comedian makes a joke about

One or two figures emerged from the
gloom during the evening. Frank
Davis was amusing in q. rapid patter

was generally more than bit too thick
to be funny. Doraldina danced vipor-
ously and effectively and some Of the
singing of the Kouns Sisters was

quite beyond the beyond in vulgarity.

Unusual Concert
Program Is Sung
By Bosten Girl
Faulty Enunciation Mars
Recital by Miss Frank;
Augusta Cottlow, Pianist,
Heard by Small Audience

A program Of songs out Of the or
dinary and a young singer of more
than average quality was the combina-
ton yesterday afternoon at Aeolian
Hall. The singer was Miss Ethel
Frank, Of Boston, and, apart from her
wretched enunciation, she proved
herself an artist Of excellent attain
ments. Her voice was light, but
pleasing, uniform in timbre and
huently produced. Her songs COM
prised as their composers Rhene-B Baton.
Rim msky-Korsakow, Turina, Moussorg-
sky, Scsrlattis Handel, Defossee, Err
LANCER Woollete, Delage, Brunesu,
Widor, Graeff and Cook, and in some
Of those she was assisted by members
Of the Boston Symphony Orchestra,
with Georges Langy conducting. 1t
was a pity that the singers fine,
natural voice. intelligence and excel
lent emotional endowment should have
been so handicapped by her utter ina
bility to render her words intelligible.
She was very warmly greeted by a
large audience.
In the evening Augusta Cottlow gave
a piano recital before a small audience
Miss Cottlow is an admirable artist:
we'll graded, possessed of facile, even
brilliant, technique. she is always in.
telligent, and often poetic in her in
terpretations. Her playing of the
Beethoven Sonata, Op. 104, was ad.
mirable in its poise and dynamic bal
ance, even if it lacked a little in rich
ness Of emotion. Other things on he,
program were the Carnival of Schu
mann and a group of Chopin.

Diverted $l56,478,
Is Court Decision
Actors Union Is InsoIvent,

Fitzpatrick and M0untford
Asked About the Funds

Justice Mitchell in the Supreme
Court yesterday handed down de-
cision holding the White Rats Actors
Union of America, an organization OF
vaudeville performers, insolvent and
that officers and directors had diverted
$156.478 of the unions funds. The de-
cision sustained the report Of Lewis
Schuldenfrei, appointed in 1917 az
referee to pass on the action brought
by Goldie Pemberton, White Rat, for
an accounting in connection with
moneys expended in the building of
the union clubhouse at 227 to cal West
Forty sixth Street by the White Rats
Realty Company which was backed BY
the union
The officers at the time were the lats
Junie McCree. William ]. Cooke and
". W. Waters. The directors, who are
ordered by the court to pay the costs
of the litigation, included Fred Niblo.
Frank North, Sam Morton, Johnny Bell
and George E. Delmore.
The decision does not mention by
name the directors responsible for the
conversion of funds, but holds that
Harry Mountford and William Fitz-
patrick had deposited $10,478 belong
ing to the union and had never ac-
counted for it satisfactorily.
Referee Schuldenfrei said in his re-
Port that misrepresentation was prac-
ticed by the union in announcing to its
members that none of it's funds were
being used or building purposes. Tho
building cost $202 900 and the venture
resulted in net loss of Sl46000.
