 The Brookfeld Summer School of
 Music, under the management of Prof
 Herbert Wilbur Greene and Gaia
 Aarup Greene, has entered upon an other season. The school is growing, numbering many more than last year.
 The students have settled down to good hard work, which is beginning to
 give some results. We enjoyed a very
 pleasant celebration of the Fourth,
 thanks to MT and Mrs Greene. On
 Thursday evening, reception was
 given to the entire school by the girls
 of the Back Log in honor of the fourth
 wedding anniversary of MT and Mrs
 0. B. Weirick. MT and Mrs Weirick
 are teachers in the Perkeman semi
 nary at ::Pennsgrove, Pa. but are en-
 toying the summer work with us. The
 Monday evening following was taken
 in the Town hall. The program was
 pronounced 8 success for the most
 part. Miss Schreck and MT Ely, both
 of Western Pennsylvania, Miss Bean of Philadelphia and Miss ,Burkhart of Washington appeared before a Brook field audience for the first time, and
 as closing, ''Dina Doe" was rendered
 by our. male quartet, which extin- guished themselves, beginning with
 Werlich and ''exeunt" Wolsey. An enjoyable dance followed in the Opera the Opera house an interesting lecture on Riemann's s system of phraSing was
 given by Dr Carl Hoffman of Great Harrington, Mass, to the piano forte
 pupils, after which short recital was given by both piano and vocal stu
 dents. They felt very much pleased
 with themselves until after the next criticism class, when different light
 was shed upon the matter after MT
 Greene had finished with them. Last week the faculty and students rendered
 rather informal reception in the Op- era house to Professor and Mrs George Coleman Gou. MT Greene presented them with key to the town, and for fear he might not be able to find the key hole gave it (the key hole) to Mrs Gou. Dr WOlsey in his address of welcome, fearing d man from VaSsar would not be able to understand the
 knocks he might receive here, fur niShed him with dozen or more hatchets, hammers and a mallet or two. Again the Doctor was afraid MT Gou might get beyond his depth in his lecture of the evening, gave him a olive bottle. The next gift was staff upon which to lean and also a set of resolutions. Then each lady was talk en upon the arm of one of our few men and presented to the guests. That evening we all enjoyed MT Gou'S lect- ure on "The Evolution of Music. " Some-of the illustrations of the even- ing were given by the school, but most- ly by MT Gou himself. One of the H. lustrations which was of great inter- est was canon or round (''Sumer is Icumin In.'' which was written in 1926, and probably by John of Fornsete. should he come again. He IS not one of the persons who talks nothing but shop, but he keeps MT Greene and the
 rest of us busy most of our time on either the tennis court or the crOquet grounds. The BroOkfeld School of Music was sorry to see Prof and Mrs GOu return to Vassar, after having the pleasure of their enjoyable sociability for week. We trust we shall hear him lecture again next summer.
 Why did Richardson climb on the
 roof of the Opera House? To reach his high notes.
 We find one of Brookfield's bachelor lions is studying French" at the Sum- mer school and he finds it convenient to take his book to Lovers Leap oc- casionally.
 Dr Wolsey has found new occupa-
 tion on the farm. It is not Hay Max
 ing, it is "Hey Wanging."
 Be it noted:-A "pair" is being grown at the ''sunset." Noted it be-
 B-n was not lonely last week. No? Yes? It be noted:-O-n spent part of last week at New York. Ely and
 Bean are studying Shakespearian roles
 together and we expect to see the bal cony scene done with realistic per- lection before the season is isover.-["Oh My" and "How Fa.''
