trio, studied in Berlin with Marteau and Sauret, while the 'Cellist studied with Van Lier and Hekking. We also did en- semble work with Hekl1ing. My father was teaching in Berlin at the time and we appeared under his directioN on many occasions in concert"
 And you started your yeSv .N,xR while abroad?" asked.
 "Yes, we appeared in many of the for eign capitals and during our stay abroad we made the acquaintance of many de- lightful musical people who were instru- mental in placing engagements at our dis posal. Among these was the Baroness Maltzahn, who was music mad. She in- vited my sisters and myself to her beau- tiful estate, where she lives in the most gorgeous old castle-which was built in 1776-and it is still as primitive and old fashioned as in those days. The Baron- ess was a most interesting character. She was a friend of Clara Schumann's, and Brahms She has many charming let ters that were written her by Brahms, and of. Through her, we had some very un- usual engagements. You know, there is great deal of social work aboard. mean by that drawing room recitals and charity affairs and to these we were bidden to play-at first only socially-aft- erwards as pair artists.
 "One of the most delightful experiences that we had abroad was when my sister Dorothy played for the Prince and Prin- cess gu Wield. The Princess is, a niece of Carmen Sylva, the Queen of Rou- mania, and there were many titled peo- pie who were present at her recital. Then my sister, who plays the Cello played by command of the Kaiser in a Concert that was given in memory of Emperor William, and which was one of the grand est occasions that was ever witnessed in Berlin.">
 "The musical atmosphere abroad is most inspiring" I said as Miss Pasmore related many interesting experiences.
 ''The salons, the drawing room socials. and other forms of entertainment" said she, abroad are very helpful to the student, developing talent and giving ex- cellent opportunity to come in contact with the great musicians and composers and artists"
 "How do you find the musical status in the south as compared with other sections of our own country?" I asked.
 Southern audiences compare very fav- orably with those of the east and the north," said Miss Pasmore, land very much to our surprise, if I may so say so. When we first began our tour of the south we were almost afraid to include on our programmes such heavy numbers as the Tschaikowsky Trio and the Brahms Trio. We were always just a bit afraid of a lack of appreciation, but we have been agreeably surprised. A wonderful amount of appreciation has been shown of our work, which is very gratifying. We feel in a measure that on this tour we are doing missionary work. We are playing before so many colleges, and 1t is remarkable how schol- arly and intelligent our audiences are.
 Among our delightful experiences" said Miss Pasmore, Twas the Recital we gave in the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, Cal, the past summer. My father also took part, and it was rather unusual to see father and three daughters giving an entire programme for an evenings enter tainment-don't you think so? Mir. Bisp- ham sang in the beautiful Greek Theatre, and 1t was tAere that Margaret Anglin gave the Greek Damar Antigone
 And what is this that I have heard about your Managers Contract with you young ladies along the Matrimonial lire?' I asked.
 Miss Pasmore laughed and said:
 T guess what you've heard Is true We are under contract not to get married or even engaged for three years-isn't that awful? It seems rather hard, paltkc- ularly if we should happen to meet some- hn1 1Vy hat fod 0i1r Ia n
