Now that the quarantine has been
raised the real musical activities OF the
city will begin. 1t is a safe estimate
to say that so per cent of the singers
in our country have been or are sing
ing in the churches and Phoenix is no
exception. Beginning this morning the
churches will resume their regular
services and several hundred singers
are enrolled in the choirs.
The lifting Of the quarantine regula-
tons also make it possible to hold the
rehearsals of the Community Chorus.
A very ambitious and interesting pro-
gram has been outlined for concert
to be given at the Elks' theater Tues
day evening. December II, to ASSIST the
Thrift stamp forces. A Community
Chorus should include everyone who
sings, whether or not the voices have
been trained. There are no dues to
pay and no expense of any kind for the
singers to meet. The State Council of
Defense has purchased all the music
for the concert TO be given next week

ALLAN FURNITURE has a, history
that brings it properly within the
realm of both Art and Literature.
William NJ. Odom, principal of The
New York School of Fine and APP
piled Arts is the author of a HIS
tory of Italian Furniture Just pub
lished by Doubleday, Page & Co.
While Italian furniture has Ions
been an object OF love for those who
see art in the furnishings of home,
this is the first treatise on this
style of furniture that has been at
tempted. 1t is comprehensive and
authoritative. Prof Odom has
given years of study to the subject
and much research work. He IN
corporates in his work pictures and
elaborate descriptions of pieces
from the most important museums
and private collections, - from
which he evolves the Development
of furniture design. One appeal
ing feature of this study is the in
innate incidents Of the social life
of Italian people that are shown to
have modified the furnishings OF
these people. 1t is this very fact
the reflection of social and national
characteristics in the products of
their hands,-that brings the study
of furniture into the sphere of art.
1t is the splendid handling of the
subject by Prof Odom that makes
literature of it.
