MISS WINSTON GIVES
FINE PIANO RECITAL
Col. and Mrs. Henry Blount Open
Their Home. The Oaks" to
Young Musician.

Col and Mre Henry Blount opened
their home. THE Oaks" in r street. last
night to a large assembly OF guests. in
Guiding the pupils of Madison Hall Semi
nary, who were invited TO hear Miss r.
Elizabeth Winston in a piano recital.
Miss Winston played a choice program.
including five numbers OF Chopin. the big
Sonata in fiat minor. two preludes. 1s
and %; the Waltz in A fiat minor, and
the Scherzo, opus 80
The program opened with the italian
Concerto OF Bach, which Miss Winston
played in a clear style. making a marvel
ously lucid exposition of a great compost
ton that is rarely heard. Her perform
ance of the Chopin Sonata was equally
scholarly. The List "Gnomenreigen"
was played with the greatest delicacy
imaginable, at the same time with whirl-
ing rapidity. Her runs were limpid. clear
and of the finest texture: the staccat
passages were dainty, dancing elves. The
same delicate tone coloring marked the
"Jeux d'Eau' of Maurice Ravel. Indeed,
Miss Winston is equipped with an I'M
usual and rich variety OF tone production
that enables her to do some very fine
impressionist work. Some OF her big
warm tones are such as are very rarely
heard from the piano, except under the
magic touch of a few great artists. Such
were whole passages in the Saint-Saens
Etude.
Miss Winston has studied successfully
with Felix Garziglia, Ernest Hutcheson
and Herald Bauer. She will go to Berlin
in August to make her debut there, and
to be with Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Hutche-
son.

sUFFRAcIsTs INTERRUPT TALK

The Senate yesterday afternoon voted g
to II to adopt an amendment to the agri-
cultural appropriation biii.- striking from
that measure as It passed the House an
appropriation of s367. 900 for the distribu-
ton Of free seeds For years there has
been a fight on to abolish the disposition
| of seeds by allotting 10 each Senator and
each member of Congress quotas to be
sent out through the mails to constituents
under their franks The appropriation
may be restored In the conference COM
mittee Of the two Houses.
After the seed amendment had been
disposed Of the Senate took up the con-
sideration OF the Senate amendment to
the House bill. which cut the appropria-
ton for administering the law forbidding
the killing of migratory birds in flight
between the States. from $4,000 70 $4,000.
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas. argued
against appropriating money for the en-
forcement OF the law.
He quoted Senator Mclean. author Of
the law. as expressing doubt OF its con-
stitutionalty, and Senator Root. who had
introduced a resolution directing the ne
COLLATION. of a treaty to protect migra-
tory birds on the theory that the law
might be unconstitutional and commenced
at some length on an opinion by Attor-
ney General Carmody, of New York,
Senator Robinson read a letter from the

doubt as to the constitutionality of the
law. but saying that he was in SYM

Senator Burton defended the larger ap-
preparation. Senator Mclean, of Con-
necticut, author Of the law. also urged
large appropriation.
While the debate was under way. the
woman suffrage parade arrived on the
plaza outside OF the Capitol. and the suf
fragists began to pour into the Senate
galleries. whereupon Senator MARITIME. OF
New Jersey, moved to adjourn, and the
Senate hastily adjourned, leaving the

paragraph suspended in midair.

The Fleeing Show.

It is an admitted fact all over the
country that the picture plays are TAX
ing the place Of the low price theaters
that formerly showed the blood and

other productions of that type. The
movies, with their general and whole

houses and have filled a want and a
real desire in the hearts of people of
every class.

house to see pictures telling a definite

showing Smith hitting Jones in the
head with a safe, are not popular, would
be able to select a program OF pictures
