Prince Joachim Albrecht. a cousin
of the former Emperor William. is
on our side. The prince is coming
to this country In January to con-
duct dozen symphony concerts.
According to an Associated Press
dispatch, the prince describes him
self as possibly somewhat old.fash.
ioned in his musical ideas. He
doesn't care for "mQhern" music,
either.
But that's because I am a thor
oughly healthy individual" he dc.
clared. much modern music is un.
natural and discordant because com.
posers and audiences have jaded
nerves which need stirring up. L
want my hearers to leave my con.
certs with the feeling that ! have
fY,r fc( 81 xxrtkI "a
and instilled beauty and harmony into
their souls.''
Just as some ministers seem to
find it necessary to talk about "the
Mexican question: instead Of stick
ing to Christ and Him crucified, so
some orchestra leaders want to fur
nish their auditors with themes for
discussion, rather than with esthetic
delight, as Prince Joachim Albrecht
calls 1t.
Is 1t the function of a symphony
to astound, or distress, or disgust
the audience? We hardly think so.
Yet this is the only effect of much
that is being played this season upon
a large part of the audiences. 1t will
do no good to call such auditors "old
fogies." If they are old fogies, then
the human ear has been going off at
tangent for 1926 years. at least,
and 1t remains for these new com
posers" to set us all right.
Here is a piece offered up to us
with great eclat. the work Of a bright
young man who won all the prizes In
Paris, and who, no doubt, fondly pic
lures himself as a musical Messiah,
or at least a musical John the Bap-
list, making the way straight for the
Great Composer who shall come here
after.
This little thing is entitled "The
Flower Girl" Truly it hath a suspi.
cious sound. We have learned before
that this is a favorite trick Of the
modern" and "futurist" composers.
Their titles, at least, are sensible
enough.
THE Flower Girl
Air of us old.fashioned persons in
the concert hall may let our weak
minds run riot with that title, and
still never guess in a million years
just what picture the young composer,
who has won so many prizes, had in
his fertile brain when he sat down,
pen In hand, to bring forth this mas.
terpiece.

SONG OF THE SLEEPING SUIT
Agnes Daniel Munro. Elsl9 18th Ave.

A tiny body it enfolds,
Its roomy warmth protecting;
The feet wrapped snug away from cold,
The baby head projecting;
As from the coy crib it creeps,
The baby live inside it,
And past the bed where brother sleeps,
And no one else to chide il.
In mischief does it take that babe.
The open stair descending
Into the room where company grave,
Their favorite art defending
Turn wondering eyes on curly mead
The sleeping suit a browning,
While parents think of baby's bed
And do their best at frowning.
Il want a drink the baby cries.
And who could scold or waver
When baby cries in such a wise
For such a tiny favor.
For years are short and time does lily
And days of sleeping suits soon
wane,
And mem'ry of those days gone by
Is all that's left of its short reign.
