enhanced by his solo group, open
ing with two etudes, the c Minor
and the E Major, the darkling and
ominous brilliance of the first con-
trasting sharply with the serene
melody of the second. The mount

B Minor sonata brought the group
to a dramatic close. Obliged to
respond to a clamorous encore
Mr.. Paxson played the well known
Debussy whimsy "Golliwog's Cake

The association sponsoring the

one hopes is now over for good.

the group with modern italian
love song.
Two French songs, MeSsager S
"La maison grise, > and Clair de

/ licious, but what fetched the audi
ence to a man was the French
comedy song lie pays tHolmes),
SO skillfully sung that the foreign
tongue seemed no barrier between
the performer ard listeners.
So far as this reviewer knows the
, arrangement of songs from Wag-
ner's "Die MeiStersinger Won Nurn-
! berg" is something new To The
concert stage as presented by Mr.
Eddy. A program precise of "'Die
MeiStersinger provided the audi
ence with sufficient data for a
clear understanding OF the famous
tale of Hans Sachs and his min
strel protege. and the singer did
the rest. With a modicum of
means, using merely altered tone

nettes of the court crier. Hans

Wahn" was impressive and the
triumph of Walter in the famous
prize song. a lyric flight.
English Group
Three songs in English, a long
forgotten setting of My Hearts
in the Highlands oy Adolph Jen-
sen, a Carolina mountain folk
song and a charming song by
Walter Golde called Love Was
With Me Yesterday" completed
the programmed numbers.
However, the generous encore
constituted little re-

and then followed that amusing |
character song about Donald and |
John and Me broadcast recently |
by John Charles Thomas. The |!

deus H. Caraway. His lovely mother
literally beamed with pride at the
sight OF him. His tragic death at
DyerSburg, Tenn, Tuesday, came as
q distinct shock to the thousands of
friends of the Caraway family. Bob
bic was ambitious. yet considerate of
the feelings ot others. He radiated
happiness ant good will, and he was
the exemplar OF all that is best in
American young manhood. Mrs. Car

Of six years, and who is filling the
high station with distinction and

her distinguished husband and her
baby boy May a merciful Heavenly
Father keep her In the hollow Of His
divine hand TO guard, guide and pro-
tect her through the years. And may
she be comforted in this GethsemRne
Of her well-spent life by the thought
that Bobbie'S life. like that of her
able husbands career. will be as the
shining light that shineth more and
more INTO the coming Of the perfect
