climbed up TO the sill by means of

fell from the window sill to the street

recommendation which will be
made by the two experts commit
tees which have been investigating
Germany's economic and financial
situation on behalf of the repara-

1t was added that there was every
reason to believe all the recon-

For he is more than good,
Could not be better If he would.
Friend and gentleman: hail fellow
we'll met"
At the clos of the banquet, and after
a brief intermission with social inter-
course in the lobby, the musicians as
sembled and rehearsed the entire pro-
gram of the next concert. This feature
was enjoyed by many of the guests at
the Augusta House, who gathered by
the connecting doors in the main din
inig room. The small and favored au-
Gience was most appreciative of the
musical program and they expressed
the belief that the next concert by the
Symphony will be the most enjoyable
of the many wonderful programs pre-
scented in the four years.
Mr.. Hill insisted that the orchestra
was in rehearsal, but to the hearers it
was a perfectly organized and beauti-
fully presented program, finished to a
high degree. The march composed by
Miss Alice Goodrich. which has been
completely orchestrated for the Sym
phony, was the first number played
and 1t was pronounced by the little au-
dience as superb.
All the other numbers are we'll

delighted the hearers last evening with
her rendition Of several numbers. Mrs.
Landry has n remarkable voice. clear
and true, and to this is added her per-
sonality, which is most vivacious and
entirely charming.
AS announced by Director Ernest r.
Hill, the rehearsal of last evening was
in preparation for the next public ap-
pearance of the Symphony, and the
entire program has not as yet been
given out.
The banquet and program Of Sunday
evening was an unqualified success in
every way and will go down in the an
nails of the organization as another of
the memorable gatherings which have
marked the history of the orchestra
since its inception four years ago.
