they visited Hongkong. Canton and
Annoy, their experience in the last city
proving extremely impressive because
the food. the chairs and the streets
were so dirty that eating and moving
about were positively difficult To ac-
complish. The new home, at Camp
Wallace, is on a prOmontory that
catches the full benefit OF the breezes
of the monsoon. The house is made of
bamboo, with nipa roof and light wood

was married only a fortnight ago.
Both the Smiths and the Careys are

Mrs. Knox was Miss Lily McCalla be-

which took place very quietly in the
home of Admiral and Mrs. McCaIla in
Santa Barbara, and proved an absolute

But Mrs Buck seems to enjoy the life
and has evidently adapted herself to it
perfectly. One wonders if she does not
absolutely lose the sense of her own
identity when she remembers the big
dances that she ruled at the Fairmont
last winter; the music and lights. the
elaborate suppers, the jewels and the
spangled gowns.
To the great relief of a wide circle

Musical Criticism.

Mcndelssohn's score Is quite familiar from occasional performances with q reader and pianoforte a very unsatis- factory portrayal of the play and en- tirely inadequate as regards the re- freshing and melodic beauty of Mem delssohns music Tho latter is a strik- Ing example of the fresh spontaneous grace and clearness which was charac- tertStic of Mendelssohn. The overture was written when he was lad of six teen and well grasps the fairy element which runs through the music of the play, Schumann said "hIs music Is a meditation on the play, q bridge he. tween Bottom and Oberon. without which the passage into fairy land s almost impossible" The music includ- ing the familiar Wedding March" was written eighteen years after the over ture, but while it was the product of riper years, Mcndelssohn's pen had lost none of It's spontaneity and pict- uros with dainty and exquisite grace the fairy element of the play. Mendels- sohn's music was very appropriate as an opening of the centenary celcbra- tlon which will be celebrated quite generally in musical centcrs.
 The Russian symphony orchestra have upheld the banner of Russian music faithfully, but are not at ease in the delicate touches of Mendels- sohn, The string section of the orches- tra is its strongest feature, Last nights performance showed the need of more rehcarsals on the part of tho orchestra there were rough spots in which the deicacy of Mendelssohn was not evil dent and a lack of smoothness and fln- ish. The Wedding March was play ed in a rerfunctory manner and lacked elasticity,
 The best work of the orchestra was in the Dream music and the compos- er's Spring Song which was quite happily nterpolated.
 In the incidental vocal music there was a lack of sympathy between tho singers and orchestra and here again was the need of rehearsals evident. MT lAltschulcr knows hlS orchestra and his men obeyed well hut it Is probable that his sympathes are with the more
