Whit Sunday

Tn the liturgical churches today. the Sunday after Easter, is called low Sun day. or White Sunday (Dominica albis), because in early times it was the day on which those who were newly baptized laid aside their black garb and were vest ed in white. Also those under instruction received on this day 'Agnus Dei's, made of wax and stamped with picture of the Pope.
 As far as the congregation is concerned. White Sunday at the present day Is about like other Sundays. Whit Sunday, which was also called White Sunday, is the same as Pentecost, and comes seven Sundays after Easter

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
To Study In Europe.

A tendency of our time which is al once characteristic and stimulating is the desire on the part of those engaged in art and other intellectual pursuits to have the benefit of teachers even after they have been fairly successful in their chosen work. This tendency is found especially among men and women of the musical profession. In referring to this matter a business man of artistic taste said yesterday:
 There is nothing like aspiration, or what we usually call ambition, to lift up our toilers. The person of plodding mind is satisfied with commonplace existence but the man or woman with acute perception or any degree of spirit uality, is not content nowadays with standing still. All right-thinking per- sons who possess real talent for music can never be satisfied until they have de- veloped that talent under master teachers.
 We have several notable examples of Birmingham people who have already done quite well unsteady, but who are determined to do more if study and work will avail. Philip Memoli is one of our musicians whom 1 have in mind. He has not only been a successful band master. but he Is a good score reader and has made a start as q composer. He has composed, indeed. at least one work for the Catholic church that Is fertile in melody and artistic in treatment. But Mir. Memoli, while he has studied theory and composition as best he could, outside of a conservatory, is now going abroad to get into the musical atmosphere of the old country and to settle down next fall to systematic study. He will take his family with him and will remain abroad two or three years. Knowing Memolis exceptional talent as I do. I man will be heard from as a great com poser or a great conductor. He may be- come both. Mernoli is a native of Italy but came to this country with his parents at the age of fl. He Is now a little over 30. He has the best of health but better still he has passion for high achieve ment.
 "The Memolis will leave for New York over the seaboard next Tuesday and will sail Tuesday week on the Moltke of the Hamburg-Amerlcan line. All Birming ham will watch Memoli's career with deep interest and all wish him and his dear ones a sale and happy voyage"
