BLESSED DAMOSEL"
BY MUSICAL ART
DIR. DamfOsch Revives Debussy
Work Given by OratOriO
Eight Years Ago.

The FIRST concert Of the Musical Art
Society's twenty-fourth season at Car
negie Hall last evening brought with II
a revival OF Debussy's setting OF Dante
Rossetti's The Blessed Damosel." which
had not been heard since the Oratorio
Society first gave Il on December 2.
1908. Al hat time II made a favorable,
IL not profound. impression.
II is one OF the composers early
works. being nine years older than
"Pelleas ct M~elisande.' Paris OF course
failed to perceive the true purport OF the
cantata. for the French capital knew
little about the ~Preraphelite movement
But the theme was one to appeal to the
young Debussy and his composition
hints at the future impressionist. How
ever. II Is not a subject calling Tor ex-
tended discussion now.
Among the other music on last eve
n!ng's programme were an extraordi-
narily beautiful Ave Regina" OF Pales-
trina and n formidably difficult motel
by Bach entitled The Spirit Also
Helpeth Us" In these two works the
powers of the present choir Of the Musi-
cal Art Society were put to a searching
test.
The compositions were sung wlth
plenty OF rhythmic spirit and with ex-
cellence in phrasins and enunciation. but
there was much to be desired both In
quality of tone and in ~intonatlon. Or
Damrosch has had difficulty OF late In
securing for the organization singers oil

Miss O'Brien. accompanied by an nsr
brother, James 8. O'Brien Of Newport,

delighted to nnd my sister and renew the

For some years she wa very close
with the Mannings. but three or four
years ago their paths separated and
they saw little Of each other. Recently
Mr.. Manning called up Justice Daniel
L. Cohalan. whose wife Is a distant
cousin OF both my sister and tho Man
nines, and asked fer Mays address.
He phoned her Immediately and that
evening when she dropped In to call on
the family he started his suit. He was
insistent and on last Wednesday night
after a determined courtship my sister
consented to marry him IL 1 would
give my approval. She Immediately sent
for me and when Mr.. Manning ex-
planned how lonely he was and how
much he cared for May OF course l was
willing. I thought II May could over
look that hfty-Hve years difference In

Friday they procured he marriage

sister to resign her position 90 that she
might have time to get together her
trou~eau and complete the arrange

Joint Commission Will Reas-

Chief Agrees.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 19.-Secretary OF
the Interior Lane and his colleagues OH
the Mexican-American Joint commission
placed upon Gen. Carranxa to-day the re-
sponsibility Of deciding whether the
American Government should continue
Its efforts to effect a satisfactory and
amicable adjustment Of the questions af-
fecting the relations OF the W countries
and then adjourned until after the holi-
days.
Through his representatives on the
commission they sent to Carranza a COM
munication further explaining the posi-
ton OF he United states Government
and containing protestations that there
exists no intention to violate the sov-
ereignty of Mexico. II was made clear.
however. that there can he no modifca-
ton OF the conditions on which the
American troops will be withdrawn from
.aexico and that the attitude OF the Gov
m us outlined In the declaration Of
policy made by Secretary Lane when the
protocol vas igned at Atlantic City has
not been altered.
Transmitted by Cable.
The communication was terse. but stu.
dious care had been exercised to keep
out of the OCCUR ent any phraseology
that might give offence to the Mexican
Executive. II wa not more than $50
words in length. II was handed to the
Mexican representatives In Joint session
and transmitted by them almost imme-
diately to Q~ueretaro. where 1t Ia expected
II will be given prompt consideration by
Gen. Carranza. 1t was cabled and Q
copy sent by mail.
The message of the Americans wa IN
reply to that presented by the Mexicans
when they reconvened here yesterday.
The communication OF the Mexicans was
not signed by Gen. Carranxa, but his
spokesmen made II clear that 1t was an
authorized statement OF his attitude, and
the reply given by the Americans to-
day Is understood to have been ad-
dressed to the Mexican commissioners,
although intended for their Executive.
R~atiacation Hoped For.
Neither the American nor the Mexican
commissioners appeared peAsimistic In
their contemplation OF the future. The
Americans insisted that they had asked
Carranxa TO sign nothing that would
impair his dignity or that would be in
compatible with the ideals OF his Gov
eminent. The Mexicans appeared al.
most equally confident that ratification
of the protocol would be withheld nc
longer and that shortly after the begin
ming Of the new year they would be dis
cussing with the American commits
sioners those questions In which both
nations are interested and which are no
covered In the brief agreement hos,
ratification is being awaited.
1t was not decided where the commits
sloners would reconvene In the even
