manner. Being quoted, she said:
Germany Is heir to the old con-
trapuntalist; to her belong the scien-
tific music, profound and philosophical
combination. Italy cultivates above
all things melody; the art of singing
specially attracts her; hers is the
facile and seductive music. France
seeks purity of style, emotion and
| sincerity of expression" Miss Smith
then showed the development of the
French music. First, the primitive
love songs then dance songs, religious,
patriotic songs and lullabies and the
| folk songs in which history was re-
corded. She told of the rich orchestral
| color, the ever-changing harmonies
| and the purity of style which char
