POPE'S CHOIR ORDER
RIGiDLY FOLLOWED
Washington Churches, How
ever, Slow to Give Up
Women Singers.

Catholics in Washington are much in
terested n the reports from other cities
that the order of Pope Plus X relative 10
the eliminatiqp OF women from church
choirs is being rigidly followed. The
encyclicu letter containing the Pope s
instructfonS on sacred music was issued
IN 1903. and since that time some progress
has been made toward .econstructing
choir affairs.
In Washington the problem has offered
more difficult solution than in any other
city for the reason that il is almost inn
possible 20 obtain male singers of suf-
ficient number to fiji all the churches.
The first choir 10 follow the instructions
Of the / lpe was that of Holy Trinity
Church. Georgetown where a male
choir, under the direction Of George
Herbert Wells, has furnished the
music several years. St. Paurs Church.
Fifteenth and Y streets, was the second
IN line and ST. Stephens. Twenty-ffth
and Pennsylvania avenue, early last
year organized a male choir The I'm
maculate Conception Church. Eighth
and n streets. also has boys choir,
but has not made exclusive use Of its
services.
These are believed TO be the only
churches IN Washington which have so
far been able 10 follow the Pope's or
ders and the question now presents itself
as 70 just what will be done. The reg
ular winter schedule IN the Catholic
churches will be resumed the first sun
day in October. In ST. Stephens. St
I Matthews. St Peters, ST. Josephs, the
Holy Comforter. ST. AIMS. Tenleytown
the Holy Name and ST Dominic's there
are women OrEauists With the eXcep-
tion OF the first named church the
I chOirs are made up Of mixed voices.
While all the churches assert their I'M
/ teution of putting Tie new order into
execution as soon as possible IL locks
very much as II Washington viii be one
OF The last cities in the country to fall
into line.
