WOMAN'S CLUB IN AFTERNOON WITH
 RICHARD WAGNER


 When tho Woman's Club adjourned last Saturday afternoon, there was mental scramble on the part of those present to find the proper ad- iectiyes and phrases with which to express adequately each one's apprec- lation and enjoyment of the pro- gram.
 For the second time during the year Mrs. crowther very graciously tendered the use of her home to the Women for their regular Club meet ing owing to the lack of proper mu- slcal equipment at the Council Cham bers where the club usually meets.
 The topic of the day was Richard Wagner and his contribution to so- clety as a musician and social revo. lutionist
 Mrs. Robert cragg opened the pro- gram with very clever biographi- cal sketch of the great musical drsi- matist.
 The story of his life as she wove it together out of various incidents and experiences, served as fitting prelude to the rest of the program; and the charming manner in which Mrs. cragg read her paper added much to its interest.
 Mrs. crowther reviewed goodly number of his well known operas and why this part was SO well per formed may be easily accounted for when one knows that it was Mrs. Crowther's good fortune to have had part many of these operas some years ago. She interspersed her re. marks with @ number of pleasing and amusing Incidents which brought smiles to every face.
 The musical numbers which she provided were excellent selections with which to Illustrate the genius and ability of Wagner. They were first "The Spinning Song" from the "Flying Dutchman." sung by Mrs. Enberg. Mrs. valentine, Mrs. Cragg and Mrs. Crowther. The second sell ection was O solo by Mrs, Crowthers, "Elizabeth's Prayer, from Tam hauser' and the last was "The Ey ening Star" also from Tannhauser and sung by Prof Wells. Each mum Der was gem in itself and received most apprecIative attention.
 The closing number of the pro gram was a short address by Mrs. Lewis on the work of Wagner as a social revolutlonict. 'It is signifi. cent to note" she said, "that Wag ner was not only a reyolutionist so far as social and government prob lems were concerned but he was al- SO reyoluHonist In the world of music as well.
 "Wagner In Siegfried and under the very nose of royalty, preached the social revolution, puts into words, tone. gestures. lath. plaster, paint, and canvas an allegory of humanity librated from the convention of aU' thority.
 'In his work on Mans fight against Society" Wagner said: "This fight is the holiest the sublimest ever fought, for 1t is the war of con sciousness with chance. of mind with mindIessness. morality with evil. of strength against weakness, lis the fight for our destiny. our right, our II.~,-t,oa~
