The principal address OF the evening
was delivered by DIR. Edward James
Cattel OF Philadelphia. who. Incl
dentally, was obliged to arrive late
and leave early by reason of other en-
gagements. DIR. Cattell is no stranger
in Wilmington, and his address last
evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all
who heard 1t. II he could be said to
have had a text, 1t WAS "The Glory of
Living" for that was his theme. In
the course OF his remarks he referred
to the economic situation OF the coun-
try today and, evidently. has little pa
ticnce with those who are inclined tc
cast gloom everywhere by preaching
business depression.
They are all pessimists," said DIR

simist is--namely, a blind man hunt

which Amt there" Much OF the
trouble with us now" he continued

| of our shadows. All the people O
America by saving ten cents da,
for a year could pay the interest OF
the national debt. and provide sink
ing fund that would eventually pa,
the principal. There is much to b.
done. Our need is service. We get on
OF life what we put into II and tn
struggles we make must strengthen
us and help not only ourselves bu
everyone with whom we are essociat
ed"
; A feature OF the evening was tn
dancing OF \ modern fox trot by Mis-

pils. The performance was unusuall
graceful and beautiful and evoke
much applause. Eudora Joseph per
, formed a classical dance to IL
Coouctte."
