lists were received with unfeigned en-
thusiasm. and the program was one
of rare excellence.
Mr.. Hayes is well known here, and
his numbers were all applauded to the

Mr.. r. Wilfred Tibbs. assistant direc-

The deepest interest of the occasion
was, of cOucse, in the work of Miss
Clarice Jones. who made her initial
appearance in public since her trium-
phant graduation last year from the
Ithaca Conservatory of Music, in con-
nection with Cornell university, where

classic music. Her graduating recital
at Cornell was admitted to have been
the finest that historic institution had
known in many years.
At the Howard university recital,
Miss Jones' selections ran the gamut
Of the classics, and the remarkable
technique displayed by the young deb
utante has been the talk of Washing

each principal rendition. She was re-
peatedly recalled and was presented at
the close of her first number with a
beautiful shower bouquet of Killarney
roses.
The most competent critics say that
Miss Jones has more than technical
perfection at the piano. Not only does
she handle the heaped up mechanical
difficulties of the ponderous compost |
tions of the music masters of Europe |
with ease and grace. but she gives full |
expression to the soul spirit couched |
in the rich melodies. With the vital |
izing touch of genius. she adds life and |
color to flights that must be given their |
true emotional value to be effective. |
Miss Jones is the supreme mistress of |
varied effects. Her range is wonder

Though slight in physical develop
ment. so well does she grasp the pos
sibilities of her instrument that she Is
able to give to massive chord passages |
orchestral volume and power. Her
tone coloring is of endless variety: her |

her runs and arpeggio passages abso-

Nine. Minott's Effective leadership.
Nine. Minott in her report and in
troductory remarks said:
Realizing that all great reforms in the
history of the world have been brought
about by public sentiment. the department
for suppression OF lynching has sought by
letters TO the governors and mayors OF
our country and also to newspapers to
arouse public sentiment against this great
evil and to stimulate those in power to an
expression of their position which should
lead to an effort to check the rapid
growth of the horrible crime of lynchinG.
Since every detail in the work Of each
department is the property of the fedora
tion and because of the limited time nee
essarily given to the conference of each
department. which would not allow for
the reading of all the letters received in
answer to the ones sent out, l have
thought best to present each of our MEM
bers with pamphlet containing copy
Ia letter
answers received.
The circular letter sent to governors
of states and mayors of municipalities
in which lynchings have occurred dur
ing Nine. Minott's administration reads
thus:
Honored Sir-In the name of woman
hood and the representative OF more
than 1000 colored women of the north
east and middle Atlantic states of our
country we beg moment OF your val

Is undermining the peace Of the nation
and sapping the very strength of woman
hood not only of our race, but that OF

this question not only as a racial one
but more so because of its demoralizinG
effect upon the public morals.

siye the 200 picture Art Collection

nous masterpieces Of painting, scuIp-
ture and architecture.

lance sne value Of good art as crea-
tive OF a refining influence and inspir-
ing atmosphere and just so surely as

in art. just 80 quickly will the crude
in art be displaced thro' appreciation
