Lert Stoessel and the last three weeks Rene Pollain. There were many eminent soloists, among them Sol Marcosson, the violinist, who has been heard in Birmingham. Mir. Marcosson never played better or appeared to better advantage than during his engagement at Chautau- qua this season, and his playing was enjoyed by immense throngs. Ernest Hutcheson, the well-known pianist, was very popular, and Henry B. vincent the organist, was again dellghting the great crowds with his playing. II. Angus tine Smith is the musical director of Chautauqua and provided & fine programme this season.
 "Pageants and choruses, and many other interesting features were on the programme" Mrs. Gussen said, and altogether I know of no more pleasant place to spend six week, than Chautauqua.
 "One of the interesting things we did was our visit to Lima, o. Mrs. Gussen said, where my good friend, H. Eugene Hall. lives. Lima is dis tingushed as the crossing point or the Jackson highway and the Dixle hi ighWay. MT. Hall was my manager 20 years ago when I played in Cin- cinnati, and of course he is valued friend of mine. MT. Hall is now con fined to an invalid's chair; his life is spent in a wheel chair, and mu- sicians from all over America go to see him. He occupies very unique position in the music world He writes for tho various musical publications; in fact, that is his life work, and he does it so inteiligently and so delightfully."- that everybody always enjoys his work. He has large circle of friends and they all delight to do him honor.

 We spent some very delightful hours with Mrs S. l. Munger dur ing our visit to chautauqua," Mrs. Gussen continued, fin her beautiful cottage there.
 "Chautauqua is one place where there is never an idle moment," Mrs. Gussen declared. Lectures, concerts and every imaginable intellectual en- tertainment is in progress, and this season the New York Symphony or chestra, better known as Mir.

Who says this isn't "woman's hour?'
 Listen,
 Mrs. Edna Gockel Gussen and her two daughters, Miss Mary Munger Gussen and Miss Elizabeth Gussen, left Birmingham early in July in Mrs. Gussen's big touring car, and made the trip to Chautauqua, N. Y., and back again with practically no inconvenience.
 Not once did they have the slight est fear of any thing or any body not once were they 'panic-y" about the car; not once did they threa ten to return by rail; not once did they have an anticipation of trouble in any way shape or form, these three clever women organizing themselves into corps of competent autoists and making the trip of S,S35 miles in safety.
 Mrs. Gussen declares that the only way to enjoy a motor trip-and she believes it is the one and only mode of locomotion-the most pleasant and the most agreeable--is to have more than one driver; indeed she and | her two daughters planned out their | work respectively before the trip | began--each to take turn about i driving-never driving over 30 miles 1 on a stretch.
 The details were planned so tha one took charge of the guide books and the other rested from duties; then "all change hands" and new regime was inaugursted
 One of the most important things on an automobile trip is speedom- eter Mrs. Gussen declared, flor by the "speedometsr' everything is erything by miles; two and one tenth miles or three and one-tenth miles or five miles or whatever the distance from place to place hap pens to be.
 "As for there being any danger in women travelling alone by motor I she continued, T can say from my l own experience that there is ab- solutely none whatever. We had the most courteous treatment every i where and with the aid of our Bir- mingham Automobile club member ship tickets we found the most de- lightful hospitality at every city where we presented our membership cards.
 We stopped in Cincinnati, going up to Chautauqua," Mrs. Gussen said, "and had most. interesting visit Of course can't get far away from l music even on such a delightful out ing as an automobile trip--so of course I looked over the musical situation in Cincinnati. Summer opera was in progress and the sum mer park concerts everywhere. ] visited the conservatories and music houses looking over new publications 1 and getting pointers here and 1 there.
 I've went to the races one after noon," Mrs. Gussen said and I have never beheld such crowd in all my life. The women were betting wild | ly enthusiastically--ev body was betting and they seemed to look upon us as curiosities because we were not betting" Mrs. Gussen said, "but that didn't matter because we weren't in- terested In what horse won--but just | in the races--and the crowds and the wonderful horse flesh.
 s"It was truly the greatest con- trast imaginable," Mrs. Gussen said,
 .between that crowd at the races in ] Cincinnati and the one we saw at Chautauqua three days later with l it's conservatism and it's intellectual atmospftere--such contrast never saw between any two crowds

about America is what our most American President said and he was quite right. Imagine if you can 5000 people in an audience. an artist steps out upon the stage; the 'Chautauqua salute is given. You know the Chautauqua salute is the waving of the handk erchief--for minute or so-and when 5000 are raised simul- taneously-you can imagine the sight! It is one to inspire any artist to do his level best.
 One evening there was a memorial service held, President
 Bestor of the chautauqua presid- ing Mrs Gussen said, and again there was a beautiful 'salutation,' If you'd call it that in memorializing some name. Among those honored was the late Mir. $. l.
