EVER, EVER GREEN By FANNIE HURST Lola Lalady marries Al Delano after he has become a helpless cripple, as the result of a fall, when she failed to fling him a trapeze properly in the show in which they were both performers. Ben Collins, a friend of Al's, gives them a house in the small town where the accident happened. A few days after Al's death, which occurs some months later, the show returns. to town, and Lee, the manager, with whom Lola was flirting before Al's fall, comes to see her and offers her a position in his New York show.

The moon -faced, moon colored tower clock boomed eleven, each stroke waiting for its echo to die. Great hot waves were racing over her body and she walked A space into the shadows of the board sidewalk and back, always ber head cocked in the attitude of listening. A train whistle hallooed straight upward and like rocket piercing the night.

Reflexly she stooped to her bag, which stood beside the gate, her eyes still probing the shadowed walk that led to town. Another halloo and through the bracken and sparse timberland behind the cottage she could see the checkered flash of the lighted train windows and a great plume of smoked that rose and died on the nocturnal landscape. It was as if she could feel the bot fan ning the coaches as they slowed, shrieking on their rails into the station. heavy engine throbs were like, heart beats and its bell clanged against her temples. A coughing of steam rouged, out, the silence.

She stood listening. minutes passed as she would push the beads down the thread of a rosary. Perdita in her garden of mint marigold shed no more scald- ing tears. From depth of the bordered walk came the faint march of footsteps, reverberating through the blue of the night. The engine bell clanged again and furiously and presently, without turning her head, through the bracken and timberland behind the cottage she could see the fluent motion of lighted train windows flashing past.

Came the footsteps now almost upon her, light -heeled and ringing. as if a soldier with new spurs on his boots were marching toward her.

Reinald Werrenrath Symphony in (Jupiter). Mozart Funeral Wagner in memory of Mrs.

A. J. Cassatt "Russians' songs for baritone and orchestra Daniel Gregory Mason Mr. Stokowski's program. yesterday at the Friday concert Philadelphia Orchestra was strongly classic and pre -classic in flavor.

It began with the "Iphigenie in Aulide' overture of Gluck, stern in form and melody and trying for the first violins in the accuracy and unanimity with which the peculiar turn must be played. The symphony was the great major of Mozart, commonly known as the and a work which must unquestionably be placed near the very of all symphonic composition. In the never dying freshness and beauty of theme and development in the first three movements and the marvelous architecture of the finale the work has few equals. It was well played by the orchestra, and again Mr. Stokowski adopted the plan of performing the entire work without stops between the niovements, which.

as in the case ot the. flat: some weeks ago. added "to the cohesiveness of the composition. The other orchestral number was the Funeral March from the "Twilight of the by. Wagner, which was played in memory of the late Mrs.

Alexander J. Cassatt, who took a leading part in the development and maintenance of the orchestra. The entire audience rose and remained standing during the num ber. The soloist was Reinald Werren- rath. the baritone, who appeared twice and repeated the favorable impression he always makes.

The first time he sang a recitative a and aria from the cantata for the twenty- -sixth Sunday after Trinity by Sebastian Bach. The selection was a beautiful one, but it did not seem to be the best for' Mr. Werrenrath's style of singing, for he is unquestionably A lyric singer and his voice shows to the most advantage in purely melodic works. He sang the dificult. number very well and it was well received.

Mr. Werrenrath's second appearance was in five songs by Daniel Gregory Mason, for baritone and orchestra. The songs. are settings of the short. poems, "Russians." by Witter Bynner, apparently describing types that have been created by recent political events in Russia.

Mr. Werrenrath again sang with fine tonal quality and thorough sympathy with the work. Neverthe less the poems are not well adapted to a musical setting through almost total absence of rhyme definite rhythm. Mr. Mason's setting of the songs is scholarly, and he shows A splendid knowledge resources of the orchestra in accompaniments, which are elaborate and of quite as much importance as the solo part, but the songs are not melodious nor are they especially musical in feeling.

The kitchen clock ticked with eX pressionless and wooden regularity. The recently occupied carpet rocker and her own low chair were drawn toward the room in the casual attitude of en tetea -tete. She dragged them back into place.

The swinging lamp she detached from its bracket and, holding it high above her so that she walked in a flood of light, burried into the little bedroom. On the floor beside the trunk and with a great spurt of energy she fell to packing her little handbag. A neighbor's dog bayed to the moon rose. The spring air took on the nip of late evening and came in boldly through the window. After a while al velvet and thick napped silence com- pletely closed her in, and when she rose from her stiff knees the moon had got high.

She could see it from the window. At 10 o'clock she made a careful tour of the house. Memories like wild flowers sprang out from every corner. A steamer chair, bared of its pillows and folded against the kitchen wall, set her to trembling. Tears would come.

She dried them on her sleeve.
