Lastly, the tree should be kept away from any fireplace and should be removed from the house with in the week following Christmas. After that, the needles j dry out and become highly inflammable.

We had Thangsgivlng dinner in the Seminary dining room and after wards drove to Franklin field to see the football game between Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania. Cornell won 20 to 12. That evening we went to hear Billie Sunday. He seems to have calmed down a lot from the preaching methods of his youth. Friday morning we listened to the pipe organ in John Wanamaker's huge store. We visited the art gallery. At 11 we went to the City Ha’ l to take an elevator up about 500 feet to view the city. A 39 foot statute of William Penn surmounts the building. At 2 we started for a 2 hour inspection through the Philadelphia General Electric Works. We spent from 4 to 5 in the Pennsylvania University Art Museum. There we saw good specimens of Greek and Roman ruins. At 7 p. m. we went to see Zlegfield Follies. Parts were e-- cellent, especially two or three of the bal'et dances. Saturday we made a trip through the Art Museum. Paintings by English painters were the best I had ever seen. We spent 20 minutes in the Rodin Art Gallery. Rodi is noted primarily for his statue, "The Thinker." In the after noon we heard Frits Kreisler. At 7:30 we went to Fels Planetarium to view motions of the universe from a man made model. I believe there is only one other planetarium in the U. S.—at Chicago, their building being represen tative of Grecian architecture. It was a great week end.—Jesse.
