MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
WASHINGTON MUSIC LOVERS

Mrs. R0OseveIt's musicale al the White

conspicuous events of the week. The
Presidents wife held a series of these
musicaIes last season and they were 50
successful in bringing together a num-
Der OF charming and congenial people
that the series has been resumed. The
programs are supplied by artists from
New York aud other cities who usually
include 81 vocalist and ninstrumentaIist.
Mary Golden Tracy. soprano; Josephine
Sullivan. harDist, and Lillian Littlehales

ing, and the concert was voted one of the
most successful ever given in the White
House.
Miss Tracy added another triumph TO
long list. which, however. is confined
almost exclusively to successes abroad.
In the seven years spent there she has
met with unqualified success and enjoys
the distinction Of having been under the
direct chaperonage of the sister 10 Ger
many's Emperor. Miss Tracy has a beau
tiful voice of fine timbre. range and pur-
ity. She is apparently as much at ease in
dramatic as in colorature work and her
selections Friday won The undOubted ad-
miTation of the President and Mrs
Roosevelt and their distinguished guests.
Miss Tracy comes Of an old New Eng
land family She is descendant of Cad
WaIIader Golden. the last governor of
New York under George III. As evil
dences Of the favor in which she is held
abroad Miss Tracy has two exqL lsiteIy

BEGGAR'S SOCIAL STATUS.
He Wondered IL 1t Would BE Low

cred by Going to Jail.
"Will my status in society be lower
ed if you send me to jail?" was a
somewhat peculiar query which Alex
ander Norman put to Magistrate Cum
ningham in the Central police court at
Philadelphia the other day. Norman,
who is a cripple, had been arrested o
few days ago charged by Agent Ben
jamin II. Marsh of the Society For
Organized Charity with being va
grant, says the Philadelphia Press.
Your status in society. | should
went to jail" said the magistrate.
Agent Marsh said he believed Nor
man was a confirmed beggar and that
the police had a record of him in New
York. He asked the court to hold Nor
man for a further hearing in order
that he might have his photograph
taken and sent to New York.
"Oh, no, | won't do anything like
that" said the magistrate. Marsh then
proceeded to question Norman. The
latter appealed to the magistrate to dis
pose of his case without further de-
lay.
"Do I have to answer the mans
questions?" asked the prisoner.
Not if you don't want to-" replied
his honor.
"Then | won't answer them. Please
send me to jail"
The defendant, who was previously
much concerned about his social sta
tus, was then sent to the house of cor
rection for six months.
