HARP DATA GIVEN
BY LOCAL EXPERT
Katherine Riggs Relates His.
FHs@.
tory of Instrument Which
She Plays.

Unusual interest in harp music is
being shown throughout this country
and Europe, and not only by leading
orchestraS and concert artists, but also
by young students of music in our
schools and colleges.
This alluring instrument, one of the
Oldest in history, dating back to 5000
to 5000 B. c., as modern discoveries in
ancient Egyptian tombs prove, has
shown a remarkable increase in popu-
1arity in the past ten years, according
to Katherine Riggs, Washington con-
cert harpist. Miss Riggs is harp in
structor on the faculty of Mount Yer
non Seminary, National Cathedral
School, National Park Seminary Mar
tina Washington Seminary, King-Smith
Studio School. Arlington Hall School,
Misses Eastmans' School and Misses
Stones School.
So much interest is being shown in
the harp that in the music department
of nearly every one of the leading pri-
vate schools here there are now each
year almost as many harp students as
there were formerly in the entire city.
Also a number of American orchestras
and bands which for some years have
included no harp among their instru-
ments have now decided that 1t is no
longer possible to get along without one
Much of the modern ensemble music is
scored for harp. A factor in the grow
ing interest in harp playing by concert
artists lies in the increasing number of
solo works being written in these latter
days especially for harp by leading COM
posers. Such distinguished masters of
the harp as Salzedo and Grandjany,
their pupils and opponents, teach al
most entirely this modern school OF
harm music larOplV French and while
it is a most interesting development in
harp literature, there are nevertheless
other types of music essentially suitable
for harp playing.
Miss Riggs begins her seasons work
this week.

Rhine Troops Future Argued.

What is to be done with the 5000
men that will be returned to Britain
from the Rhine when it is evacuated is
being discussed in England. One mill
tary authority believes that the enlarged
camp at Catterlick, England, will be
used to complete the establishment of
the men as a Fifth Expeditionary Di-
vision. At the same time it is evident
that, with fewer troops required In
Egypt and no Rhine army to maintain,
the home garrisonS must become
stronger and more troops made avail
able for service in India and at other
stations. 1t is predicted that the army
will not be reduced in size because the
military authorities have, in the last
two years, been hard pressed to supply
the requirements of India and China.

Irish Poor Buy Best Tea.

It is a curious fact that in Irish life
that the poorer the people the more ex-
pensive is the tea they drink. The
peasant in his cottage would not be
satisfied with the brands used by the
wealthiest. Even paupers receiving out
door relief from the rates spend their
meager allowance on the best tea. Ac-
cordingly a board of guardians of the
poor in Enniskillen passed resolution
that nobody in receipt of outdoor relief
should buy tea at more than go cents
a pound. The prices usually paid was
80 cents. Many occupants of Dublin's
largest houses buy their teas at 40 cents
a pound. Long ago the Free State gov
eminent wholly abolished the duty on
tea, which was burden on the poor
during the British regime.
