Has Recently Placed Window in the DuPont Memorial Church, W'Jtming- ton—Splendid Musical Program Ren¬ dered.
j3ne of the most delightful meetlng-a of the club year of the Coliony Cluib of Ambler Was held on Jan. 9th, in the olubrooms under the auspices of the Art Comimittoe, Mra. YY. Geo. Barden-s,   chairman.
Mr, Henry I^e Wllletts, of Ajnb'jer, the noted designer ot stained glass windows, gave a wonderful Illustrated lecture on "Stained Glasis Art and Stained Glass Windows." His coloredi elides were very beautiful and very interesting. Mr. Wllletts who Is a very .ab:|e and gracious speaker, gave the histories of some of the famous win¬ dows he has designed, and his de¬ scription of the art of deslging and making these beautiful treasures was j most Instructive and enjoyable. ^. Mr. AVillett was educated at Chest¬ nut Hill A^c^demy, Philia., and Prince¬ ton University. He studied th© art of stained glass under his father, the late AVilliam WUlett, and also In EnBland, I'lance and Italy. Hi.' has de.siemcd and executed stained glass wlndo^va for miany churches, cathedrals and colleges throughout the Unitea states, and h:is also lectured in many places in the country. Mr. Wllletts is the author of many artiolofl on stained glass in the Architectural Forum and the Presby¬ terian Magazines, and has exhibited his works of art in many art galleries and art centres. One of th© windows ¦he designed and executed was dedicat¬ ed last week in the DuPont Memorial Church in Wilmington, Del.
For the other part of the program for the afternoon, the large and en- thu-s^iastic audience ^^enjoyed "Mu.iicnv Moments," with Morris Braun, vioVn-
County  Tax  Will   Remain   as   Hereto¬ fore
The burden of maintiiining relief for th© unemployed will make impossible any reduction in the Montgomery county   tax   rate  for   1935.
This probability is Indicated in the annual letter of the county controller. William C. Irvin, asking the county comlmissloners for a 11-st of proposed expenditures in order that the year's budget may be  drawn  up.
The Jetter cites the heavy costs placed upon the county in relieving unemlploymont last year, and calla attention to the fact that the com¬ missioners will probably have the same "extra" expenses to meet this year.

"Go south, llttie bird, go south," is an erroneous bit of ^advice.
