say Handel, or Bach, or Haydn, or Bee
thoten or Mozart, or Stravinsky say,
and month by month add something
new, so that within five years a real
collection Of that composers music would
be i2 the making.
Symphonic music offers one of the fin
est fields >for worth while collection
along these lines.
Those who have heard the most music,
and those who have heard the least, will
here recognize a real suggestion
The tonal beauty of the great orches-
traS, the wonderful melodies to be found
in the symphonies, and the gigantic mu-
sical possibilities offered in these master
works are not to be mastered in a few
hearings.
An average music lover will need
many before he can say that he has
heard all he can hear in any one work
After all, what one hears for ones self
Is the important thing, not what Mengle-
berg or Toscanini or Beecham or Kous-
sevitzky hears.
Inasmuch as these and other famous
conductors shall make us hear what they
hear, we thank them, but our own hear
ing and appreciation, at the very time, is
the essential thing. No doubt we can
only hear because they have heard first
with more knowledge and appreciation
than we ever can muster. Nevertheless,
it is our own hearing which is important
to us.
Let us stress this hearing, because for
the first time in history the modern
electric phonograph and the electrically
recorded discs give us the opportunity
to really hear symphonies as much as
we want.
One might start in by hearing Bee
thoven's second, in d major, or the more
famous third, in fiat.
Next the beginner collector undoubt-
edly would like Schubert's celebrated
Unfinished Symphony" in B minor.
We began with Beethoven, because he
is the one to begin-and end-with, but
most average listeners will want the "un-
finished" next, and they will be right.
Next we go back to Mozart's G minor
symphony, with its dancing rhythms.
Now we must have something by
Papa" Haydn, whose music today is
more esteemed than it was half CEN

military symphony, also in G major.

cared on single 10-inch disc.

MendelSSohn's italian Symphony"
might be the next choice.
Surely we should have one work by
the great Brahms. The first symphony,
in c minor, will be good selection.
Any one who has ever heard Tschai-
kowsky's famous fifth symphony, in E
minor, will want a recording of it,
We have overlooked Schumann, but
not for long. His first symphony, called
by him Spring" will do nicely.
Now We have eight great works. If We
add to them two more by Beethoven,
say the fifth, the fate" symphony, and
the sixth. or pastoral" we have ten of
the worlds famous symphonies.

They say girlhood has changed In the
last generation,
That sweet femininity's gone from the
Nation;
Yet today's girl is still womanhood in the
making,
Meath her corsetless blouse dreams still
form, for the breaking;
To the passion divine she reacts with
less shyness,
Yet her sob is as deep if Fate crosses with
finesse;
In this and in that she may seek lifes
fruition-
But cradle encompasses all her ambi-

WEST SIDE TENNIS CLUB,
FOREST HILLS, N. Y, May 30.
After a morning of conferences,
John Bronwich, 18-year-old ex-
ponent of the two-handed tennis
shot, was substituted for the all
ing Adrian QuiSt in this after
Moons Davis Cup singles against
the United States
Quist, i'll with influenza the
greater part of the week, was for
many nominated yesterday for the
No. 2 spot against Bryan "BitSy"
Grant, the mighty whiffet from
Atlanta, but the Anzac board Of
strategy underwent swift change
of mind when it became evident
this morning that QuiSt was in
no condition to play.
Notified at IL
So, shortly after IL, Team Man
ager Clifford Sproule notified the
American committee that Quist'S
name was coming down and Bron-
wich's going up, at least as far as
singles play was concerned.
A few minutes later, Sproule de-
cided to break down and tell all,
for his next announcement was
that Quist was out Of this North
American zone finals altogether,
and that Jack Crawford and Vivian
McGrath would play the American
champions, Don Bulge and Gene
Mako, in the doubles match to-
morrow.
Meantime, Crawford and Bulge,
Americas ranking star, were to
meet in the first singles this after
noon, with America now favored
to survive this end of the series,
thus qualifying for the inter-zone
finals against the ermansG abroad.
with England waiting the winner
in the challenge round at VIM
bledon.
u. s. Favored Now
Earlier in the week the Aus
tralians had been IS favOrites,
but the loss of Quist, plus the fact
that McGrath has an injured leg,
plus the fact that Bromwich was
without "big game" experience in
Davis Cup play, sent the United
States into the favored spot at
6-5.
BY this morning, in fact, about
all the Australians seemed to have
left was a prayer for rain and a
postponement of today'S singles.
But even this was denied them, the
sun breaking through the clouds
with every indication that the
matches wer to go through, as
scheduled.

Edith Clarke, the daughter OF a

From the outset it appeared that
Miss Clarke would give Miss
Cootes quite battle. Miss Cootes
won the first set, to 5, and in
that set she was tested severely.
Then, Miss Clarke appeared to
grow stronger, Miss Cootes weaker.
Miss Clarke won the second set,
60, and in winning it revealed
her strength and stamina. Miss
Cootes, in the second set, seemed
fatigued. At the conclusion Of the
second set, Louis I. Doyle, the
umpire, ordered a 10-minute inter-
