able progress. letter of warm com

Binkius during the evening. Mary
Cryder, a personal friend of th> clubs
namesake and May Brookes Rams
dell, musician and teacher, both well
known for many years as leaders
in local music circles, were honor
guests, introduced by Katharine
Eckloff. club president, as the fairy
godmothers of the club. Percy S.
Foster. another prominent musician,
gave the principal address, dwelling
upon highlishts in the history of
music, tracing the influence of music
on human existence from Biblical
times to the present day. Homer l..
Kilt, another honor guest, was given
special welcome by the club. Ruth
L. Jeffers gave a short address en-
titled "Sharps and Flats" that won
laughter with its staccato notes.

with community and school music in
Washington, played for the club and
guests, who sang popular favorites
under the skillful direction of Miss
Linkins. Although the soloists had
considerable noise outside the ban

proved their craftsmanship by giving
their numbers anyhow. and their eff

Few women in any walk of life

turned to opera as star in her own
company, and will appear in one of
her greatest roles, Blzets Carmen" !"

principals for the chief roles, and a
small but we'll trained ballet. This
special version of the opera should
prove of unique interest.
