The Paul Althouse concert was so de-

the next in the series, which will be Emma
Roberts. the American contralto. who had
the distinction of singing for the President

Devonshire, Governor-General of Canada,
and the Duchess of Devonshire.
In January it happened that she was
soloist with the Russian symphony
Orchestra at. its Washington concert in
the National Theatre. and as q tribute a.
representatives of a friendly nation,
although not then an ally, the White
House family occupied the Presidential
box and we're most enthusiastic in leading
the applause. After Miss Roberts had
sung herstria great bunch Of roses from
the White House conservatory WAS passed
over the footiights, and at the conclusion
of the program Miss Margaret Wilson
went back on the stage and asked 10 bc
presented and then invited the singer TO

Sc happy. us nj years registered their

life All day on Thursday congratulatory
messages were received by Miss Worrell
from friends both In and out of Whining
ton, each attesting the inspiration Of her
friendship and the wish of the donor for
many eventful years vet TO come. Among
the messages none quite expressed the
general affection In which Miss WorreIl |
is held as some delightful little verses from |
Mrs. Annie T. Watson of Dover, a warm
friend. The verses are as follows:
"Old Father Time" on his long-distance
phone,
Is calling your number once more;
Just tell him the line Is busy now
With greetings from friends galore.
Perhaps he's locking for someone who's |
old,
That he has the wrong number is true; |
Hang up the receiver and cut him off,
He's no business with young folks like /
you
May many long years yet come and go,
Ere YOU answer his last sweet ring,
And may every year that you turn him /
down
A wealth Of happiness bring.
