The return of Fritz Kreisler to the concert stage after two years of si- lence created almost unprecedented enthusiasm in New York. Before he began to play he had to stand for full three minutes on the stage of Car magic hall before an overpowering ovation. The great violinist was much affected by his reception and re- sponded to encore after encore.
 "All the while Fritz was playing better than I've ever heard him play before" writes Pierre V. R. Key. "He piles no emotional fuel into his mu- sical furnace. Instead he gives a mixture of numerous qualities which go to make him a rather different violinist from any other we have. His playing is like the mellowness of a rare ol divine. And on this occasion his intonation was well nigh flaw less"
 His own transcription of the Hymn to the Sun" by Rimsky- Korsakow was included in Kreisler's program.

Those blaclface comedians that grandfather used to know, Mcintyre and Heath, celebrated their 45th an- niversary on the stage last Wednes- day at the Forty y-fourth Street the ater in New York, where they are appearing in Hello, Alexander" There are few cases where teams on the stage have gone along together so many years. In almost half cen tury of association, both on stage and off, James Mcintyre and T. K. Heath have been good friends. Now Heath is 66 years old and Mcintyre is 62. Heath made his first appearance on the stage in 1867 at Kit Burns, in Water street, New York. McIntyres debut was in Chicago in 1868.
 Florence Shirley, remembered for her role in Bunker Bean" with Tay- Tor Holmes, now is playing a leading feminine part in Apple Blossoms" Fritz Kreisler's musical comedy, at the Globe theater, New York. In private life Miss Shirley is Mrs. A. J. Koehler.
 New York still is wild about Fay Bainter and East Is West" This play by Samuel Shipman, now is well in it's second season at the Astor theater, and no end to it's run is in sight.

gathering on Arizona Birds' Besides the state game warden's talk there was discussion of music in the public schools by the supervisor, Miss Carrie Spangler. An opportunity was given the members to join the Red Cross at the meeting last week.
 The stabiliZing power of the Gen eral Federation of Women's clubs during the present period of unrest is the prevailing condition today as found by Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, national president in a tour of the east and middle west, during the past month, when she visited state con-
 ventions in Pennsylvania Ohia and Wisconsin. She also visited in New York, Michigan. Iowa and Nebraska on national club business. Every where Mrs. Cowles found club women as ac- tive in reconstruction work as they were in Red Cross and other emer- gency work during the war period. A new vision seems to have come to the women, and they are taking their places as civic workers, advancing Americanization, national and domestic thrift and community service. The great program of the General Fedora ton of Women's clubs devoted to these three great questions has been taken up seriously, with the'result that every womans club is presenting one or more Of these subjects at every meeting. Special speakers are being sent out by both national, state and district organizations to remote clubs, where presentation of the subjects has been requested. In states where full
 or partial suffrage prevails, special classes for the study Of citizenship are being formed. Mrs. Cowles says that the women are taking the responsibility of the franchise seriously. Leagues of Women Voters are being formed in every community and preparations are being made toruse their non par
 tisan influence in the primaries in seeing that the right kind of men re- ceive the nominations and are voted for at the regular elections. Mrs. Cowles feels that the vote of the seri-
 ous minded women of the United States will be at the 1920 election will change the tenor of American life and i lead to a Cleansing of national politics that will make the old-time politicians
 and ward heelers get a new vision as
 10 where the strength of the ballot will lie hereafter Women's clubs are l studying citizenship as never before and in consequence, there is being re- vealed a civic consciousness that wal never before known in American poli' ] tics. With this sense of civic respon- l sibility has come the dtermination tC
