MUSIC DEPARTMENT

Offerings in the music department
are to be entirely different from any
thing the department has had before,
The programs are to be thoroughly
modern, the distinct types of the var
ious nations being emphasized, The
music of the nations is said TO be
reflections of the people and the times
in which it is written. Modern Rus
sian music. for example, is particular
ly interesting, its strange and melan-
choly strains bringing out the restless
longing of its nation. Italian music of
the modern era with its strange har-
monies is also TO be another interest
ing study. Several special programs
will be presented, one of these being
the first one, composed of Autumn
Music"
The music department has the larg-
est active membership of any depart
ment in the club and this year the
membership exceeds that of any pre-
ceding season. Miss Alice Knollen-
berg is chairman of the department.

FRIENDSHIP
Chapter II

Don't talk about falling in love,

Colin put down the glass, and began
mixing another drink. He had a ia
vorite combination of powdered sugar,
which he allowed to melt first on the
ice, and bruised mint and hot tea
poured in until half the ice had melted.
He settled back again with this.
I'm not sure I'm joking" he said.
If you were coquette I couldn't talk
to you like this, or if | didn't know
you so WE'LL,
1T would be even worse to talk Of
it seriously" I answered. 1T would
be-rather isastrous-wouldn't it, if

Colin slipped his tea. and continued

"She was married. You told me
once you were too sensible to fall in
love with any married woman" I
said
Colin grinned at this. and so sue
cessfully took away all feeling of senti-
ment between US.

claimed Do you remember when |

Right, remember. But Muriel was
not married when l fell in love with
her. She was studying art in Paris.
She was too impatient to work hard
so she never would have been a good
painter, but she had little whimsical
twist of mind that made some of her
sketches delightful"
She married a rich man."
Yes, but she was very much in love
with him. She never cared for me at
all. Only, after she was married, she
was too gentle and sweet to make me

and too weak to keep away myself"

that Colin, too, had suffered Connie

Colin, how eloquent you are be-
coming" I tried to laugh.
We'll, I'm tired enough, and enough
in need of a home and domestic pet

laughed too.

mention of Winthrop now-once
could not have stood even that.
IF I'd met you some years ago,

Colin said, regarding me quite imper-
sonally, while he slipped his tea.
You're very attractive in most ways.
You're most lovable in many ways,
| answered and held out my hand.
But | think | love you most as a
friend. And / love you dearly that
way. It's nice to know one person TO

Colin patted my hand, and released
it at once.
Now then" he remarked, in a bust
ness like tone. It's quite evident these
people are making life miserable fol

He shook his head. After a week

Colin looked at me, then nodded.

The Womans club work will be com
menced this week when a gallery talk
will be given before the art depart
ment by Mrs Melville F. Johnston,
