1T is quite possible for Western ears
to become fond of Chinese music If it
is taken in solo doses, either vocal or
instrumental. 1t is the combination OF
instruments that is oyerpowering.
Shanghai is too foreignized city to
carry on any extensive research into
native music The entertaining thing
is to observe the Chinese attempts at
foreign music. have heard the Dead
March tootled on native instruments
in a funeral procession, and am told
that Aud Lang Syne' is favorite on
such occasions, too. A pet yarn among
foreigners is that of the funeral of an
official who was mourned by four or
five widows. The band played The Girl
Left Behind Me- but the story may
be apocryphal. 1t is stated as a fact,
however. that in large Chinese church
