Miss Allette Jahren
Pleases Large Audience
With Graduate Recital

The Concordia college auditorium
last evening was again the scene Of q
brilliant musical event, when Miss Al

peared in a piano graduate recital.
Miss Jahren, besides being graduate
this spring from the piano department.
of that conservatory, is also a fresh
man in the college department. or the
well known Moorhead school.
An audience which completely filled
the auditorium greeted the young ar
fist. Several out-of-town friends were
also present, including Rev. and MIS-.
J. II, Jahren of Lake Park, parents or
the principal artist Of the evening.
Miss Jafren has often been heard in
public recitals and has always pleased
her, audiences. but her work OF last
evening won for her more praise than
is usually afforded young artists. She
PLAYED with a freedom and poise
which is quite unusual and revealed
strength which is seldom found except
in professional artists. Miss Jahren
deserves special praise for her opening
group-Bonnie, by Bach. and I'M
promptu, by Schubert. The marked
contrast in these two compositions gave
her an opportunity to display not only
strength in octave and chord work,
but q brilliant and flowing technique.
The Polonaise, by Chopin, which was
combined with the quiet and simple
little Lullaby, by Kjerulf, was per-
haps Miss Jahren's most fascinating
and best rendered number. Her octave
and chord work were remarkably well
done and the entire composition was
played with rare finish and under
standing.
Mrs. Jessie Hazelton Askegaard of
Moorhead, soprano, who assisted MISS
Jahren last evening, was most en-
Enthusiastically received. Mrs. Aske-
gard was in especially fine voice and
has seldom been heard to better adj
vantage than last evening. She re-
sponded to two encores. singing
GrieR's Love Thee. and a charming
little song by Lowitz, entitled his
Fayorite Flower, the former sung In
the Norwegian language. Mrs. Aske-
saard was presented with bouquet
az pink tulips after her first group.
That Miss Jahren is very popular
in college circles was proved by the
MANY beautiful floral gifts given her
nv the various societies and other or
Ranizations at Concordia college, as
we'll as personal friends.
Little 5-year-old Virgie Houglum,
who is the youngest student registered
in the Concordia College Scnool OF
music, acted as flower girl.
The next recital to. be given py tne
Concordia College School or music
will take place after the opening OF
the spring term, when Miss Hannah
Knutson of Rugby, N. Dak.' VIII ap-
pear in a song recital.

To help make school days the happiest

OF course, the collar Of this dress Is a
big feature, for 1t is stylish and particu-

other attractions. The frock is made with
a body lining and has the waist fulness

a detail that is in excellent taste. When

War and Working
Women in England

The Suffragist, in a recent issue,
notes the following facts of interest:
The annual congress OF the English
Gently. passed a resolution to declare
the support of the party for adult
suffrage, including women. "The Com
mon Cause" reports that except fer
this stand the attitude Of the congress
questions now pressing for some solu-
ton was unsatisfactory to women
workers. 1t points out that the strong
labor unions controlled the situation,
and disorganized women could get
little consideration.
!. The Women's Labor league, meeting
in Manchester at the same time, en-
phasized the keen necessity of organi-
cation and the franchise for working
women. Miss Mary Macarthur, spokes-
man for the trade unionists, said that
organization is necessary against the
government as well as against private
employers. No government department,
she pointed out, has been so generous
with promises as the ministry of mu-
nittons and none has ever fallen so far
short Of them. She said that there are
thousands of women making munitions
at starvation wages-many at South
hampton for seven shillings a week
and in the virtual slavery of not being
able to get their discharge-at the
same time that their influx into this
industry is encouraged by the govern
ment and praised by the press. Their
wages have to be eked out by public
subscription and private charity, while
absurd reasons. are put forward for
underpaying them. Miss Macarthur
considers the hope of franchise reform
the only help for women workers
Before the war;" she concluded,
women were only the mothers of men.
They have now risen to the dizzy
heights of makers OF machine guns.
Votes were denied to the mothers of
men. But it Is extremely likely that the
government Will concede them to the
makers of machine guns.
Political power is coming, and
women are prepared to make good use
of it."
