Interest seems to be about equally
divided between the two big balls
which are on this weeks calendar
the ball for the benefit of the Epis-

has been sacred to the Navy Relief
Society for years and years. Both balls
are to be given at the willard. and
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson's name heads

Her interest is by no means per-

in her power to help make both par

she will attend either ball this year,
as she has been taking absolutely no
part in society since the President

attend the President ana Mrs. Wilson

Apropos Of music and musiciaas I
want to tell you about THE Rbap-
sodists." a rather significant little
organization which is now growing
up in Washington. 1t is sponsored by
Louis Thompson. singer Of songs
and young man of artistic vision
and executive ability, and mis- bride,
who is herself no mean musician.
They have arranged for a course of
musical study to be taken up on
Thursday evenings at their studio,
I406 II street. There Is ensemble
singing at each meeting, under MIR.
Thompson's direction and also a short
talk. with this versatile young man
as the lecturer.
The idea is to take up political
history, the history of music and of
art, along with the technical study of
music. and to give each composition
studied its proper background. For
instance. when the class is studying
Gregorian music, the pupils will be
taught something of the history and
character of Pope Gregory and of the
times which produced him and his
music Certainly this should make
for better understanding-and conse-
quently better expression-on the part
/ of the singer; and it should prove a
tremendously interesting way OF
studying.
