hrder's pessimism.
High-class musical presentations have
been the rule ia Washington since the
season opened. The Boston and Phlla-
delphia orchesras. with their well-se-
Iected soloists, 10 say nothing of the
individual recitals and quartet produc-
tons have made it an era of artistic
effort.
That al this met with appreciation

ences attending the various concerts.
