Kathryn Meisle. contralto. appeared
in recital at the New Willard last
night before an appreciative audience.
Miss Meisle presented an ambitious
program, ranging from the classics Of
Rossini and Verdi to the lighter mum.
bers usually more in evidence In con-
cert work.
Miss Meisle has a voice OF remark
able power and considerable range
sings her big tones without visible
effort, and is seemingly sure OF her.
self at all times. One or two Of her
numbers were marred, however, by
indistinctness of enunciation.
The first operatic selection, "a Little
Voice." from Rossini's Barber" gave
the contralto opportunity for a bril-.
liant vocal display of lightness and
bravura- 20 Fatal Gift" from Verdfs
Don Carlos" was sung with dra-
matte effect and due warmth and
color. Other numbers were Deep
River" Burleigh; Lullaby" OF Cyril
Scott; Tietjens' "The Sea Beach, and
Sidney Homers well-known "How's
My Boy" AS encores Miss Meisle

Mr.. Rosen was handicapped In re-

the dominance OF the piano that, in
the Saint-Saens concerto, took first
place in the vehsmence Of its tone

Max Rosen gave the Saint -Saens
concerto with true music in its lovely
airs, and with command and virtuosity
in the double stops and the admirable
execution. He played the "Pastorale"
(Scariatta-Frankol, the Chopin
Kreisler "Mazurka," and Kreisier's
La Gitana" with beauty and type that
was felt but not fully heard.
His own composition, Romance"
e minor. was full of genuine melody
OF the true artist soul, and had a com.
pelling rhythm that would call this
young player composer as well, who
may be watched with interest in this
field also.
The violinist's encores were "sec-

which he displayed the greatest va

There is sweetness and musical
depth in her singing, and her greatest
accomplishment was the aria Char

Brazil" by David. that she gave with
lovely quality, excellent staccato
runs, trills, and good fute echoes in
the closing passages.
Miss Conde sang two old French
songs with good effect. but the De-

more tone-painting and subtlety. The
real interpreter's art was in the Car

CLEANING the StunfDS

The rapid decrease in the number of
tall stumps which have been so ia
miliar to the traveller through the coast
hills Of Oregon, is regarded as an in
dication of their approaching extinc-
ton. Hitherto some 20 feet of each
stump has been left standing, silent
relics of former monarchs of the forest,
too thick for most saws to compass
and too full of pitch to suit the saw
mills. But now the need for timber is
greater and men no longer climb high
up on to boards thrust into notches in
the trunk to suit the saw and the saw
mill. They have learned thrift and
they cut low down lest good lumber
be uselessly wasted. Only as record
Of past wastefulness are the tall
stumps with their deep notches still
visible.
