| ment of Mrs. Delphine w. Brown as
organist and choir director of Waugh

| Episcopal Church. where she severed
her connection because of the installa-
ton OF male choir and the conse-
quent engagement of a male organist.

perlence in church circles. They sue
coed Mr.. and Mrs. John G. Klein, who
have taken up a similar work at Gum
