trying to overtop each other, which
so often is the fault with lyrical
couples. And when it was all over
they received a near -ovation-which
for that time and place Is some
thing of a miracle.
Mrs. Pierson also was greeted with
great warmth. A singer with a most
delightful voice quality, who shows
no sign of strain or attempting
things beyond her reach, her group
of songs was an absolute delight, in
fact, one wonders If there has been
better singing current this season.
Mrs. PierSon sang modern compo-
sitionS that were bright, and in one
case extremely amusing, and volun-
teered but one encore, which seemed
much too short for the talents she
had displayed.
The program also included some
violin selections by Mrs. Dickey, ac-
companied by Mrs. Freitag, as well
as Dorothy Radde- Emery at the
piano. Mrs. Emery displayed some
sterling qualities of musicianShip,
but unfortunately romped through
many of her selections more or less
at the mercy OF the loud pedal.

washington.
The premier's program for the day
was kept entirely open, except for a
few conferences with newspaper men,
% that he might discuss the affairs
Of the Canadian legation with officials
Of the mission.
For Common Welfare.
Although it was indicated officially
the premier's conversations with Sec
rotary Stimson had concerned no mat
tiers of international Importance,
President Hoover said he considered
such a visit was in the interests of
the common welfare of both nations.
The dinner Mr.. Hoover gave last
night in honor of Mr.. Bennett offered
an opportunity for the informal dis
cusSions which the President said
would take place between the premier
and American officials.
Only Six Guests.
The guest list was confined to the
six officials in Washington having the
most intimate relations with Canadian
American affairs. 1t included Secre-
tary Stimson, William r. Castle, jr.,
Assistant Secretary of State for West
ern European affairs: Hanford Mac
Nider, American Minister to Canada,

The fact that these two young

be in great mesure due to their
