(From Thursday', Daily)
A select audience sat entranced
last evening while Mrs. Catherine Tift
Jones read "Chetrn,” a Hindu legend
in blank verse, by Tagore. Her
characterization was perfect, for Mrs.
Jones has the faculty of the true ar
tist in living her parts, and for the
time being she was thc woman of the
centuries past, who had bartered her
soul for beauty and then saw her
lover aloWly drifting, from her be
cause she lacked those things which
she did not value ISt-^their worth un
til they were gone. The part was
made more realistic by the typical
stage setting and the costume of he
Hindu forest maid which the render
wore. For the time, the audience
was transported into thc distant past
ns well ns the Far East, but the les
son- of the Hindu poet wit's one that
the men nnd weenen of the twentieth
century can take to heart for their
good.
Even better thnn the reading, if
possible, was the short talk Mrs.
Jones made preliminary to her pro
gram. She spoke feelingly of her
pleasure at being back home among
Tiftpn people; of how she felt to
ward the heme of early days nnd how
close its people are to her. Then,
with her soul in her voice, she spoke
of Red Cross work; wherein our peo
ple fail to appreciate the dire need;
why women should sacrifice timo
and effort for those who are risk
ing all in our defense, nnd give up
frivolous pleasures in the spirit of,
service. Mrs. Jones ha* a son In
Dncte Sam’s fighting forces nnd she
urged the women of our country to
so work that their dear ones will not
find anything lacking when compar
ing them with the heroic women of
Europe on-ther return.
The musical program included an
instrumental selection by Miss Mndre
Kidder nnd Baker, ami a solo by Mr. j
