YOU find a woman in music who has

in her line as have these women in
theirs"
Mr.. Damrosch declares that If any
one can bring him a symphony written
by woman that he feels interesting
enough to play he will be only too
happy and glad to conduct it.
"As have said" continued Mr..
Domrosch. 81 do not believe that
women will ever become great com

natures are opposed to this. We have
