(C1 HANDING as we are on the eve of N two beautiful performances of the Scott Opera, presented by the Music Study Club, to be followed by the sensational Metropolitan opera prima donna, Rosa Ponselle. in a marvellous concert on the evening of May 12, presented by the "All-Star Concerts" Birmingham listens with credulity to the words of wisdom that come from the lips of so charming and accomplished critic of music as our own lovely Mrs. E. G. Chandler.
 Perhaps no woman in all this big city is more universally popular more beloved, and more admired than Mrs. Chandler for besides her beautiful voice, which has given pleasure and still continues to give pleasure to thousands, she has a tremendous sense of fairness and gene rosity toward everything musical-'a patron of the art in the truest sense or the word, unbiased, unpreiudiced and un- afraid to say what she thinks and what she feels.
 To Mrs. Chandler belongs the credit of interesting more people perhaps than any other one individual in Birmingham, with what she has to say of music and mt- sical conditions in this city, and other wise, for she has every requisite that measures up to the standard.
 She has lived in Birmingham since her childhood days, when no entertainment was complete without sweet, lovely Ruth Yates and her fresh, pretty, young voice. and always generous she used 1t TOT all things pertaining to musical uplift and musical edification.
 After her marriage she still kept up her music more valiantly than before, studying, learning, never content with the knowledge she possessed, but always seeking more knowledge, her choir and concert work extending over a broad territory, and, as I said before, with all of her talents and advantages she is in 8 position to interest more peo- pie with her musical opinion than nearly anyone else, for we know that she is honest and wise in what she says.
 It was a joyful and beautiful hour that I spent with Mrs. Chandler a few days ago, listening to the wonderful things that she told me about her recent trip to New York, and she told 1t all in such a charming. delightful manner that 1t was a real pleasure to listen to her and I longed for more time. more ex- periences and more information about her eventfu1 visit.
 esThings just seemed to happen" said Mrs. Chandler, "in the most unexpected way, which, after all, Is the most pleas ant, I think: the unplanned things, and yet from the moment our party reached New York we began to make engage ments-for everything that was offered, fearing that we might miss something, and afterward many engagements had to be broken to make way for bigger things"
 "Such was the case when I had the pleasure of hearing Jascha Heifetz," she

And let me tell you the best part of all this wonderful afternoon at the opera: I was invited by very charm ing New York woman, who has had her box at the opera for the past four teen years. to be her guest She shares the third box in the beautiful Dia-
 mond Horseshoe with the w. K. Van derbilts-so you can imagine the de- light it gave me to have such desira- ble seats at the opera-and to be near enough not only to hear well. but to see"
 Mrs. Chandler's description of th's benefit performance was so dainty and so charming and so interesting and 1 cause just few days before her return from New York I had lead that out 1 rageously clever Town Topics descrip- l ton of the same performance, in which the Crochets and Quavers scribe, who signs himself The Pied Piper said: Some persons like pie, some like ice cream, and other like pie with ice cream packed on top of it. I believe the com hination is known as pie a la mode.

 Ut was evident that he wasn't going to miss single trick. but long before the
 performance was over he had grown mo- 1 ticeably paler and his brow gradually folded up into thickly puckered wrinkles,
