turned from Chautauqua, n. Y. where
she spent July and August studying with

to return to his home in Berlin, in which
case Miss Hansen Wv continue her work
with him here. Before returning 10

faIo. where she was a guest at the home
Of Miss Antoinette Boeckel

OF Mr.. Hutcheson al Chautau Gua were

This club will undoubtedly take a very
active part in the musical life at Chau-
tauqua. y. Y. during the summer terms

One OF the most inspiring musical com
positions which has come TO our atten-
ton lately Is The Call Of the Wilder
ness" words by Mr.. Scott Lesvitt. forest
supervisor at Great Falls. Mont. music
by Miss Augusta B. Palmer OF the Forest
Service. Washington D. c.
The music gives expression to the lofty
sentiment Of the author and transports
one through pine-cIad depths OF mys-
FERROUS canyons and forest soltudes TO
the majestic grandeur Of towering peak
and crag
The song has been dedicated to the for
est rangers. 1t is especially adaptable
TO Arhor Day exercises and to forestry
and conservation programs
The Message, words and music by
Miss Palmer. published coincident with
The Call Of the Wilderness" is a charm
ing little encore song Of the fields and
woods. adaptable to concert or parlor.
Both songs are published nv the Wash
ington Music Company. Of Washington.
