hay on the A. M. Mikalson place
Just out of Spokane Sunday, De-

The first Washington perform

a young Russian-American and
Mischa Elman's violin playing
are the features Of the National
Symphony's Wednesday night
concert in Constitution Hall.
Nicolai BerezowSky is the new
composer. He will conduct his
own work. 1t dates from 1925,
is on a single movement com
prising the four sections Of the
conventional symphony. He was
born in Petrograd in 1900, came
to New York in 1922, conducted
the Atwater-K Kent radio concerts
in 1927 and is now member Of
the Coolidge String Quartet.
Elman has chosen to present
the G minor concerto of Vivaldi
as arranged especially for him
by Tivadar Nachez, Hungarian
violinist and composer, and the
ever popular MendelsSohn con-
certo. DR.. Kinder permits
Berezowsky to open the program

After John Payne's death
his widow opened a board
ing house, with her vivacious
daughter, the Widow Todd,
to help her. There in Phila-
delphia came the young
bloods of the budding gov
ernment-among them the
suave, brilliant, and fasci-
mating Aaron Burr. It is to
be supposed these young
men could ignore the lowell
ness Of a young woman to
whom a nation gave its ad-
miration7 Nonsense! These
young lads fell over them
selves to gain her favor! But
she would have none Of
them.
She laughed her way out
of her sorrow, hugging to
her breast the son in whom
she had such pride and to
whom went all her love.
That is, all her love went to
young Payne Todd until one
early spring day when she
slipped on a sleet-strewn
street, and was picked up,

of them hated the war steps

All the elements Of melodrama

which was born the Star

bestowed on "The Presidents
Mansion" 1t was not then
the White House-not until
that edifice had witnessed
her personal bravery, and
had been restored from the
h avoc wrought by His
Brittanic Majesty's troops,
and had the scars of it's
burning covered by layers of
white paint, did it receive
that title.
And probably the little
Quaker girl who strolled the
North Carolina woods hunt
ing the jewels which her
grandmother gave her-all
against the stern simplicity
of her fathers teaching
and which she had lost from
the little cambria bag strung
about her neck-probably
that little Quaker girl had
the seeds of her love of bril-
lance sown in that gift of
heirlooms which the hand of
heaven struck from her on
her way to school.
0ERTAINLY when John
~ Payne and his wife, the
former Mary Madison, re-
moved from the Carolina
Settlement to Philadelphia
in 1856, Dorothea was glad.
There was the city where
Washington, Jefferson, and
all the gentlemen of the
Continental Congress were
battling out the substance Of
the Constitution.
There the German emigres
were thrusting the primaeval
forest beneath their sturdy
feet to feed the growing
city. There the dashing
young political leaders were
seeking place in the new
government. And there, too,
John Payne found a more
solemn Quaker satisfaction
than in the increasing turbu-
lence Of the Carolina back
woods.
Certain snug, tight-lipped
and tight-minded historians
have tried to hint that Dolly
Payne's gayety was-well-
mot quite all it should have
been" Their intellects have
been too weak to perceive
the strength Of character
which could make a mar
riage in dutiful filial resig-
nation-prefering to spat-
ter with petty venom of their
sputtering pens the charm
which Dolly Madison spread
so generously upon the
American scene.
