Suddenly Miss Boris voice re-
turned, and she repaired to a little
chapel she had built and remained
there In prayer all night. She ther
returned home and, to the joy of her
devoted household, sang, more glori-
ously than ever.
Finally the time arrived when she
felt ready to sail for America. When
she came back, her voice and beauty
unimpaired, as Mimi in La Boheme, >
New York welcomed her with an af-
fectionate loyalty that any crowned
head might have envied Since ther
she has been singing every season, one
of the prize jewels in the vocal crown
of the Metropolitan Opera Co.
As Thursdays concert will be one
of the very few to be given by the
orchestra at night, seats will undoubt-
edly be at a premium Music lovers
are therefore urged by c. c. Cappel
manager of the orchestra, to obtain
their tickets as early as possible, pref
erably before the night of the concert
in order to avoid the possibility oi
last minute congestion.

The entire movement Is repeated, ana
the second time it continues without
stop into the finale.
This has two distinct themes both
in a marchlike tempo-the first one
triumphant, the second one in mys-
terious minor. In the end, both
combine in an overwhelming major
climax and thus conclude one Of the
great and most personal works Of the
present-day literature.
As I said before, this symphony is
typical of SibeliuS' best work-wild
and strong and passionately indi-
vidual, and, again, tender and warm
and triumphant; often stark and bleak
like his native soil, but equally and
knowingly indomitable, uncompromis-
ing and noble.

Hans Kinder, will be given
Thursday evening at $50 in Consti-
tuition Hall The soloist will be Lu-
crezia Bori, soprano of the Metropoli-
tan Opera Co., and long a favorite
with concert-goers in Washington.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt box
holder of the National Symphony, ex-
poets to be present Thursday evening
and social and diplomatic circles will
be well represented.
Mrs. Roosevelt has been generous in
her attendance at concerts since she
entered the White House, and her at
titude toward music is well known.
Only last March she said: THE Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra is very
important thing, not only because it
provides pleasures and education and
a friendly feeling for music among
the children of our city, but because
the Nations Capital should have the
best"
The career of Miss Bori the first
soloist to appear with the National
Symphony three years ago, is one of
the most interesting in the annals of
music. She was born in Valencia, of
a well-known old Spanish military
family. Her father was a colonel of
the artillery, her mother woman Of
high artistic attainments. The former
gave up his career to accompany his
gifted daughter to Milan to study
singing. In Italy she made her debut
as Micaela in Carmen" The coveted
engagement at La Scala followed.
Later came triumphs in Buenos Aires.
In 1913 she came to the Metropolitan
opera House in New York, where she
has been a bright star ever since, ex-
cept for one disastrous interlude.
In the Spring Of 1915 she developed
trouble with her voice. Doctors or
dered an operation. The operation
was performed, and after it was over
the young diva made the discovery
that she could no longer sing. For
time her every remark had to be
written down. Then came the miracle.
ut is the truth" says Miss Bori to-
day. 'I had a splendid doctor, and
1 prayed. Prayeo WIN al my nearI
and soul. I prayed to ST Francis,
the mystical Poverello DAssisi. I
made a pilgrimage to his shrine and
promised that, if I recovered my
voice, I would live my life in sim
plicity and devotion. In religion, in
sincere complete faith, I found the
inspiration to wait patiently without
doing something rash, irreparable, to
be regretted bitterly later on

Sibelius, the composer Of eight SYM

The reason is obvious. His music is
abstruse and very difficult to perform.
All his works have that same quality,
except a few more obvious ones like
"Finlandia, "Valse Triste,' ETC., which
have therefore become popular. But
to those who study his output, the
reward of great musical experience
must inevitably come. More than
any composer I know Of is his work
directly connected with nature, with
the very soil from which it springs.

by accepted rules and measure, but
it makes, like all personal" art, its
own laws. Only when we grow to
know those laws, with their free meter
and their effects Of near-improvisa-
ton, do we penetrate to the message
the composer wants to convey.
As his language, however, does not
demand (as for instance, Debussey's
or Schoenberg's) knowledge differ
ent from that OF the accepted har-
monic basis, the best method Of ap-
idea about it, out to just be COM

IS an essential for the eventual COM
prehension of any message of last
ing importance, and the lack of this
readiness In our all-too-rapid lives is
the cause Of Sibelius' comparative OBJ
scurity. The very character Of the
composer. his indifference to fame,
to reputation" has adced to this.

WIDE FIELD OF SELECTION IN
STYLISH MODES FOR AUTUMN

We might mention fall colorS by
the dozen, and tell you what type
of fashion they are most popular
in, but you can best visualize the
color scene for the season, if we
explain them to you in relation TO
the clothes which they will repre-
sent and the accessories in which
they appear in forming an entire
ensemble. Because black is the
most important color in any fall
season, we will consider it first.
For formal daytime wear, you
will very likely choose a black coat
of suedy texture. most likely trim
med with black fur, or possibly
with one of the "blonde" furs
which make an outfit look more
youthful, and which are quite new
ly popular. With the coat you may
wear black crinkly dress trim
med with some vivid shade, such
as Monaco Red, Creme de Menthe
Or Cocktail blue.
Next to black i'll popularity for
the season is brown for an ensem-
BILE basic color. We find it in a
variety of splendid shades. You
might, for instance, choose. a coat
of crinkly wooden, curly enough TO
almost give the appearance of Per-
sian lamb, in Malacca brown, a
deep true brown shade. With it
you would wear either a matching
dress in crepe trimmed with Creme
dc Menthe green, or for a more
dresSy occasion the entire dress
might be of the green. On the
other hand if your suit is in the
Malacca brown wool, your blouse
might be in green. A fine felt
hat in the same shade. Stockings
in the tone called Marrona, and
ensemble shoes, and handbag of
Marrona patent leather-which is
a deep, almost black-broWn, your
gloves in the same shade of glace
kid.
Popular Greens
In the greens we are afforded an
opportunity for stunning, gay cf-
fects, and first let us consider a
rather dressy, afternoon outfit.
Choosing coat of slightly blis-
tered, ribbed wooden in Scottie
green, which is deep and true in
tone, we will se:ecC a mat velvet
dress in Scottie green, and choose
for less formal occasions a more
