MRS. J. II. MKINI.EY. OF CLIO. ENTERTAlNs
THE CLUB WITH 4 PAPER on THE
ORIGIN AND POWER OF MUSIC.

II was music day at Clio Monday. and Mrs.
]. II. Mckinley appropriately chosen TO con-
duct the exercises and selected for her theme
Woman in Music" In her paper she alluded to the
power and origin of music. saying that Its birth
must have been coincdent with creation, Tor IN
Haydn's beautiful setting OF the 'Creation. ne
speaks OF the already created stars as announcing
the fourth day of songs divine. Not only Nature
but history and prophecies were illed with music
! in various forms.
1T is a curious fact" said the speaker. tha'
while woman has held rank and place beside man
in authorship and ;he professions. she mas
never won a position in the composition OF music
till quite recently This was perhaps due to the
fact that the nineteenth century had seen women
emerge. from the darkness Of mental thraldom into
the light Of intellectual freedom. II tn, genius Of
composition had been denied her no one could gain
say the position she occupied in. the dcVelophl'h'
of the divine art She captured worship before rdu-
cation lifted her above infcrioriiy and literally sh"
was dciod before sAe was appreciated Mythology.
.rt and sculpture all awarded her prominence. and
excavations OF long buried frescoes and bassrelef-
represented her In connection with som" instrument
of so-called music. Not only did Greek ana Roman
mythology testify to this but ancient china. Japan
and far-o India contributed TO the wondrous theme"
1T is impossible" said Mrs Mckinley. ITO touch
upon the fame OF any king OF musicians without
recognizing rho debt he owes to woman" She re-
lated many instances. Rossinis mother was pro-
fessional singer and Haydn though married 10 a
shrcw yet because Of her infaiuaton for religious
bigotrv wrote sacred music. To the appreciation
of MoZari's wife we were indebted for his immortal
REQUIEM and Wagner received inspiration from the
daughter OF Liszt Bach wrote many OF his best
pieces expressly for his wife. and Rubnstein y

greatest violinsts OF the world was encouraged by
the dreams OF his mother and Mari" Antoineii"

Introductory remarks she pointed ont a few Of the
differences between philosophers and philt sophcs
dwelling at some length upon the natural phosO
pher who had the divine gift OF human sympathy
and who could see and appreciate all the beauties
Of nature. She said that nation betrayed its in
dividuality In its literature. and that in this re-
spect geogra phicai locality ehcrted marked In
huencc race. Warm cliIna tcs favored poetry
while the frozen North brought out the more scri-
Gus. more solid types OF literature Thus the South
erD troubadour was distinguished from the North
ern trouvere Mrs. Sears described the troubadour
minuely. bringing her assistance illustrations OF
his song Of which love" was ever the theme. On
the other hand. the irOnvere OF Northern France
