I (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.
