Boards OF control are political prefer

showings that consist of outward dis

der the able instruction OF her artis-
tic mother. While n very small child.
the development shown aroused much
interest, and a few years later her
mother brought her TO Chicago, where
she began a serious musical career.
Since then her entire study has been
under the direction OF one OF the fore
most American musicians, Glare Os-
born Reed. and II is TO her that Miss
Lamb owes the splendid equipment
which has given to her concert work
so much distinction and won for her
the enthusiastic support OF critics and
musicians. She is bountifully endow-
ed with temperament. an unusual
technique and the musical intelligence

ing is characterized by breadth and
virility, and an extensive repertoire
enables her TO present programs OF
worth and beauty. Last year was
spent in Europe. coaching greater part
of the time with Harold Bauer in Paris,
who speaks of her as IAN extremely
gifted and accomplished pianist" He
says: Her performances are distin-
guished by musicanly feeling and
strong individuality" Later. in Ber-
lin. Miss Lamb did some coaching with
Gabrilowitsch. and her playing every
where met with the same warm COM
mendation.

light gray ratine was cleverly re-
lieved with black and white plaid silk
and tiny black bone buttons in this
smart little street frock (s06S). 1t is a
plain design with a full length set-in
sleeve. an attractive waistcoat and a
slightly gathered peplum. The skirt is
a two piece model in a two tier effect,
the lower section being set on under
deep tuck.
A frock of this description will be
found very convenient for wear under
the heavy coats now modish, and a lit
tie later will do good service for street
wear. after wraps have been discarded.
Serge or velveteen would be quite as
effective for this model as the material
