NEW YORK, Nov. 2 GN.S).
A big sigh Of relief went up today
from the proponents Of Mrs. Caro-.
line O'Day, Democratic nominee
for Representative-atlarge, who is
supported by Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt.

Miss FrookS, as a Democratic
county committeewoman, rated
an invitation to the affair, and
so it wasn't entirely unexpected.
Nevertheless, a thousand Demo

wouldn't let anybody-"not even
Mrs. Roosevelt"-spoil her dinner
program with q last-minute de-

walked in and went directly to
the press table. Mary Chamber
lin, O'Day publicity director.
smiled sweetly and said:
'May 1 see your press card?"
Miss FrookS demurred. Miss
Chamberlin's eye snapped as she

Heretofore there has been series
of four children's concerts and series
of four students concerts that have
alternated throughout the season.
For the coming season these two
series will be combined into one series
of six students concerts, and these
will be given every other Saturday
morning, starting on January II.
DR.. Hans Kinder, conductor, an
nounceS that the music to be played
will be given according to the national
character of the compositions. The
first concert will present German
music. The succeeding concerts will
demonstrate French. Austrian and
Hungarian, Italian, English, Scandi-
navian and American music. The
various sections of instruments that
make up a symphony orchestra will
also be studied.
DR.. Kinder believes that the pur-
pose of bringing the most music to
the greatest number of children will
be best served by these new plans
and that the concerts will be better
co-ordinated and progressively educa-
tional in character. AS in past sea-
sons, the National Symphony Orches-
ira will have the full cooperation of
the music department of the District
of Columbia public schools, headed
by DR.. E. N. c. Barnes. The various
private and parochial schools will also
cooperate as they have in the past
and 1t is anticipated that Central
High School Auditorium, where the
concerts are held, will be taxed to
capacity for this important series.
