GALA  WEEK   END   FOR
FRIENDS  OF   BATES
Mist   Deems   Tells   What  to   Do
Though the Bates House party Satin
day night only made enough money to
cover expenses, it aroused great rattan-
siasm. Miss Virginia Deems, for two
years head of the House, Miss AppN h..
and H. Harris "17, chairman of the Hates
House Committee, spoke, and Hose Hof
man. of the Newman School of Dancing in
Philadelphia, who is about to enter Pav-
lowa's school, gave an extraordinarily
lovely exhibition of Creek dancing. Slides
illustrated the speeches.
"What you do at Bates", said Miss
Deems, "Is to work hard from six in the
morning until ten or eleven at night. If
you can't find any work you make some".
The Bryn Mawr students do everything
for the babies. Miss Deems said, from
dressing them in the morning and taking
them in bathing to putting them to bed
at night.   When the girls come they must
lie chaperoned, and little parlies are ar-
ranged for the older women. However,
"not what you do in Bates House". Miss
Deems emphasized, "but what you get out
of it", is the biggest part of the work.
Miss Applebee also stressed the fact
in her explanation of what "clean-up
week" means to the cleaners anil what its
results mean to the Spring Street people,
that one must be prepared to do work
harder than "hard gym". Through this
effort of the Bryn Mawr workers to make
the place homelike and attractive the
people of Spring Street are given a
chance to live decently for once in their
lives, she said.
Miss Hofman danced two exquisite
Creek idylls. "Summer" interpreted the
season's joy in her flowers and her sorrow
that she must die; "Autumn" chases the
deer, drains the wine from the grapes she
has crushed and ends with a mad Bac-
chanalian revel. Twice Miss Hofman
danced to music she had never heard be-
fore, simply taking the steps to which the
notes inspired her and grasping the
changing rhythms with surprising skill.
MR.    CARPENTER    AS    AUCTIONEER
The four encores demanded of Mr. Ruth
at the Faculty Concert last Friday night
gauge to some extent the charm which
his voice cast over his listeners; Mrs.
Gibson's singing and Mr. Brunei's violin
solos were received enthusiastically. Mr.
carpenter after the program auctioned
off the posters, made by E. Russell '17 for
the concert, in which he was one of the
principal figures; for the nine he secured
I to go to the Red Cross with, he as-
sured llie audienee. the lowest possible
percentage deducted for his services. The
admission brought in about $225.
Mr. Ruth's beautifully full, bass voice
�bowed best perhaps in the selections.
"The Sea" and "I Know a Hill". It was
after this English group that he was ap-
plauded up to three encores, "Down
among the Dead Men". Haw ley's "Noon
and Night", and Rubenstein's "Der Asra".
Selection from Russian Composer
The varied selections chosen by Mrs.
Gibson. Fremh, German and Italian, were
delightfully rendered; "Chanson Indoue"
is of especial interest, for its composer,
Kinsky Korsakow, composed the music
for the startling "Scherazade" of the
Russian Ballet. "Der Schwan" by
Grieg, "Si mes vers avaient des airs" by
Hahn. and "Alme-moi" by Beniberg, were
Mrs. Gibson's encores. Mrs. Mahon ac-
companied her.
Mi. Brunei was accompanied by Mr.
Carpenter. His first encore was Kreisler's
"Liebesfreud". The quaint Dutch folk
sonts were particularly charming and
following them Mr. Brunei played the
"Meditation" from "Thais" and a Beetho-
reB minuet.

Story To Be Told by an Eye-witness
In the first onrush of the war, when
fighting raged about Mons and the Marne
and the Alsne, hundreds of villages of the
French frontier were swept away and the
people left homeless; the suffering of the
refugee children of these villages, whose
families if not killed are often lost from
them, will be described by Mrs. Joseph
Lindon-Smith ex-'97. Friday afternoon at
four o'clock in Taylor. Mrs. Lindon-
Smith came back two months ago from
France, where she went to investigate
the condition of the children on behalf
of the Franco-American Committee for
the Protection of Children of the Frontier.
Mrs. Lindon-Smith's appeal is not con-
nected wlrh the fund for the "Fatherless
Children of France", which is in part sup-
ported by the government. In the case of
these children their fathers have been
soldiers killed in battle while those of the
"frontier" children may have been civil-
ians lost in the destruction of their vil-
lages.
Mrs. Lindon-Smith has the distinction
of being the only Christian ever admitted
to a certain Egyptian mosque The per-
fect recitation of a chapter of the Koran
in Arabic gained her this privilege. Mr.
Joseph Undon Smith Is well known as
a landscape painter Some bas-reliefs,
copied by him from the Egyptian, ar.

private recitals, but few public ones.
The admission is $.50 for those con-
nected with the College, $1.00 for others,
and reserved seats $.75.
The only man whom Kreisler ever ac-
companies on the piano, Reinhold War-
lich, basso cantante, will give a song re-
i cltal of Russian. French. German and
! Elizabethan folk songs Saturday night at
8.15 in Taylor. The concert, for the ben-
efit of the Endowment Fund, Is under the
auspices of 1920.
Reinhold Warlich, of German family,
began bis musical career as a boy in Pe-
trograd, where his father was director of
the Czar's private orchestra. In those
days he was Reinhold von Warlich. but at
the beginning of the war his hatred of
Prussian imperialism led him to change
his name to de Warlich; since then he
has wished to emphasize his strict neu-
trality by being simply Reinhold Warlich.
At the age of fifteen he had a position as
organist of a large church; later in con
cert he sang before many of the royalty
of Europe and in Vienna attained success
in opera. This he gave up to become i
"lieder sanger".
When the war came Mr. Warlich was
living with his wife, an American woman,
outside of Paris, but they immediately
turned their villa Into a convahm
pltal and he served In the Ambulance
Corps.    In 1915 Mr   Warlich came to the
"Moat Discreet" Poster Starts Auction
With the injunction that anyone not in-
tending to bid should leave the room Mr.
I Carpenter began the auction, but only two
people were seen to depart.    "The most
discreet of all  the posters" was put up
first though Mr. Carpenter urged the audi-
ence to pick out which they wanted of-
fered as "personal reasons made him un-
able to choose".   In the words of the auc-
tioneer, "all we're done with the most un-
failing tact and skill".
