Co,Iee,.te AlunnI Meet

Mrs. e. r. Wiggens, 1926 Four
teenth avenue. Moline, entertained
members OF the Association OF Col
Iesiate Alumnae 1t the regular
February meeting Saturday AFTER
noon at her home. There were 20
members present, and in the BUSH
ness session it was voted to add
$50 to the scholarship fund. Rev.
Percy C. Ladd OF the First Congre-
gational church Of Moline was the
speaker OF the afternoon. and his
topic was War and the Church. =
Rev. Mr.. Ladd emphasized the fact
that at the beginning OF the World
war it was supposed that the
church was the strongest unit and
would exert a marked and lasting
influence on the martial life OF the
men. Contrary to expectations. the
church was one Of the weakest in
fiuences during the belligerent per-
iod and the men in service natural
ly failed to turn towards the
church for aid. Apparently the war
has not helped the church. In time
a reverse action may set in, but at
present the church Is suffering
post bellum effects. After Rev. Mr..
Ladd's very interesting talk. the
hostess served refreshments. The
March meeting Of the association
will be held in the Trinity parish
house in Davenport, and the host
esses will be those members who
are at present teachers in the Dav-
export high school.

According to the earliest word
received about what spring suits
will feature, it seems that there will
not be great deal Of change from
the styles of last year. The plain
tailored suit is going to be as pop
tIlar as ever. 1t will be developed
in jersey, serge and tricotine for
the most part. Braid is TO be fea-
tured on many of the dressier mod
els and vests will also be seen.
Skirts remain about the same as
usual, perhaps not as tight as last
year.
Here is stunning little suit
which is different from the usual.
1t is featured in an advance display
OF spring apparel. 1t is fashioned
Of navy blue serge with a Spanish
bolero jacket and gorgeous satin
girdle in Spanish effect. The
sleeves Of the little coat are only
three-quarter length and the skirt
is rather full, featuring clusters OF
pleats at marked intervals. There
is a collar on the coat made Of
satin to match the sash and a navy
satin gilet is worn with it, thus
completing this stunning suit which
is distinctly youthful in Is appeal.

cinity Of Rock Island about May IS.
Ii also the nrst trip farther
west than Detroit that the orehos-
tfa has made since 1915, when the
Philharmonic successfully UNDER
toGk an extended middle western
and southern journey. For those
cities, therefore, which are farther
away from New York than the
somewhat restricted district usual
~ covered BY the orchestrs's short

noted for having the longest list Of
famous conductors Of any orches-
tra. On its record pages are names
that stand out in the musical de-
velopment Of Europe and America
names that read like a hall Of
fame in musical history.
Its first conductor OF interna'
tional fame was Carl Bergman
who was . pioneer in introducing
the music of Wagner to symphonic
audiences in this country. Theo
dore Thomas, whom all Americana
revere - . man who did more t
spread the love of good music IL
this land than any other one per
son, was conductor of the Philhar
monte for many years. After Theo
dore Thomas came Anton SeMl. A

been conductor Of the Philharmonic
for eight years. Among other fam
Gus conductors who have wieldet
the baton over this famous institu
ton are Colonne, Wassily Safonofl
Henry Wood. Gustav Mailer ant
Josef Stransky.
The Philharmonic has gradual.
