that she noticed that audiences all over
the country were now so appreciative OF
fine music that they were perfectly
ready to sit through an entire concert
where the music was devoid Of the spe-

and TO the heart. Rag time does not ap-

unreal. the unsubstantial and the UNI

thought about sending American girls
abroad to study music, Madame
Maoonda said that her early
musical training was Amerlcan
but at the same time there IS the
knowledge Of foreign tongues and q
polish TO be gained by study abroad
that Is not TO be considered lightly, At
the sametime there are so many fine
instructors In all branches OF music
who have removed from the old coun-
try to the United States that student
can obtain a most excellent education
at their own hearthstone
Madame Maconda was delighted TO
read OF Sousa's success In England and
his special reception and decoration be-
fore the king. She regretted the stand
taken by Prof. Parker CT Yale IN oppo-
sition 10 the move to have Yale uni

speaking OF Yale reminded her that she
had received this very morning tele-
gram from her husband relative to her
appearance later In New Haven, IN

phony orchestra, of which organization
she has high opinion. Madame Ma
conda anticipates much pleasure rom
her salt Lake visit. She goes to Den
