of cutting out the new heating
plant and stuccoing the old build

Evelyn Scott, a young violinist,
who is still in her teens, and is the
youngest member of the Friday
Morning Music Club, was the out,
standing feature Of the musical pro-
gram at the club meeting yesterday.

authoritative style and sure, warm
stroke in her bowling. Especially in
teresting among her numbers were
the Couperin "Chanson Pavane"
and the Handel Hubay "Larghetto"
Gardeners From the Canebrake" was
one of her most popular lighter num-
bers. Her efforts won emphatic ad-
miration from her audience and
many expressed the opinion that she
would go far in a violinistic career in
time.
The vocalist of the morning was
Ruby Smith Stahl, well known So
groups of works by the moderns in
italian. French. German. Russian and
English. 1t was exceedingly inter-
esting to have illustrations of what
the modernists are doing. Songs that
aroused special interest were Staub's
"LHeure Deliceuse," Tilton- Turbey's
"If June We're Mine" and John r.
Ferry's 1.-THE Battlefield The ac-
companist, who came from New
York, was excellent.
Mary Ware Goldman PIANIST,
amused her audience very much with
the "Golderg Variations" by Bach
She also played Moment Musical"
by Rachmaninoff, and Scriabin's
"Etude in G Sharp Minor"

Dr. Sizoo declared, land it is well to
remember that a man is as great as
the heroes he worships. When you
take away a mans ideal you take
away his soul. A nation is interpreted

After telling Of the romance Of the
life of Lincoln and explaining that his
true greatness lay in his willingness
to do what nobody else would do, DR..
Sizoo said that the world today needs
that conception Of greatness.
