KING EDWARDS MUSICAL PROJECTS

London Truth credits King Edward
with the intention of revlving music
at his court, but the details of his pro-
gram only go to show the low condi-
tions OF English music when compared
with its earlier glories. His rvogram
includes visits to the opera In semi
state, with beef eaters on duty at the
box doors and along the corridors; a
coronation concert at Albert Hall; pri-
vate performances at Buckingham pal
ace and Windsor castle; commanded"
performances before the royal family;
and more frequent playing by the
kings private band. Sir Walter Par
ratt has been gaZetted master OF the
music, and DR.. Creser, composer to the
chapels royal. Who Parratt or Creser
are the world little knows or cares.
On the whole, though music will be
less neglected by King Edward than
it was by his mother, there ~ no pros
pect that IL will rise out of its low
condition. Now that Sir Arthur Sulli-
van is dead there is hardly a British
composer of prominence left. Sir Her
bert Oakeley, Sir Alexander Macken-
zie, Sir Frederick Bridge, and Hamish
MacCunn remain. but with the excep-
tion of Mackenzie their works are un-
known out of England. None OF the
members of the royal family. except
the late Duke of Edinburgh, has been
much interested in music except as an
accompaniment to royal functions or
matters of fashion. The king himself
has been Indifferent.

No American poet has given clearer
proof of the possession of poetic genius
OF a rarer order than Father Ryan.
Certainly no poet has achieved a more
enduring fame and secured a warmer
place in the hearts of the people OF the
south than the poet priest" He is
distinctively known as the poet of the
Lost Cause"-as the bard whose harp
sings SO sweetly and so pathetically
the requiem of brace and a proud
people. over the grave wherein their
hopes and aspirations have been buried
by the mysterious dispensation OF an
almighty and allwise Providence. This
fact puts Father Ryan in a unique
place separated from any other Ameri-
can poet Of his time. AS to the high
intrinsic literary value of the major
ity of his poems, Of the genuineness OF
his poetic faculty. and the excellence OF
his gift OF song, there can be no man
ner of doubt.-The Alkahest.

handsome in rich toilet of black satin
striped with Louis XIV. garlands, with

There was a magnificent string of
pearls about her neck, pearl drops

II was not the jewels nor the refined

bowls along the corso on the Twentieth
of September, better fits ones
idea OF what a sovereign lady should
be than any other reigning queen in
Europe.
The beautiful pearl among queens
in her own splendid home, almost girl
ish in her enthusiasm. her eloquent
face changing with her mood, her
beautiful dark eyes glowing and her
cheeks flushed with unwonted color
seems more beautiful still, yet almost
a different person.
Fed have seen her in this more
familiar way, and the pretty young
American girl who recently had this
honor, who sat by the queen on divan
and was dismissed with a petting and
a "good-by, dear" will probably re-
member her experience while she lives.
This fortunate young person, Miss
Gwendolyn Dunlevy Kelley, the gifted
girl, has described the interview for
the Sunday World, as follows:
You see | have been studying art
with Da Pozza in Rome, and | don't
just know how 1t came about, but |
was presented at court and even then
/ found the queen most gracious. She
asked me II | was interested in Rome.
replied that | was interested in its
art, and that | was painting a minia-
ture on ivory of her majesty which /
hoped / might win her consent to ex-
hibit in the Salon.
"Of mel" she exclaimed; should
be pleased to see it,"
Not many days after that a note
came to me bearing the royal seal and
written by the lady OF honor of Queen
Margherita. II was accompanied by
several large photographs Of her taken
in Milan.
This | took to mean that Queen
Margberita was interested in the por-
trait. and so when II was finished
placed IL in a case and sent it to he
royal palace, where 1t now remains,
while another, an exact duplicate, Sas
exhibited by her majesty's permission
in the Paris Salon.
Imagine my surprise when | received
another note from the palace thank
ing me for the miniature and stating
that the queen would see me in person
before left Italy. With the note 3ame
souvenir. an exquisitely moLa ed
medallion of the utmost beauty of de-
sign, to be worn as a pendant or as a
pin. 1t was in effect a decoration from
the queen. II bore her personal chiffre,
M" in diamonds upon an enamel
background, an oval of the Savoy royal
blue and royal crown of gold abo"e
the letter Around the whole was m
oval Of diamonds, with large pearls in
either side. Indeed, II was so fine II
took my breath in a flutter of excite
ment. As the carriage reached the
grand entrance of the palace the
guards saluted, and q group of tourists
raised their eyes from their red guide
books and peered curiously into the
carriage window. At the door the
beadle who stood, gorgeous in red and
gold livery, with high mace in hand
opened the carriage door ror me, and
as | entered the glass vesti-
bule relocated lackeys vanished up
the stairs to announce my arrival.
