list, and Louise Ehrman, cellist, who
joined the orchestra last October.

of their individual temperament.
Studiously are they reading over
the words of their songs and arias,
hearing the infection In their
speaking voices that they will later
put into their singing. They are
learning that the word peace" for
example, can be gentle as the touch
of a soft hand If the proper tone
accompanies it and that vowels
and consonants are not horrible,
dead weights on the flight of song,
but arrows that send it forth with
greater sureness and. swiftness.
They have already agreed that voice
or personality alone does not make
of singer. but that theirs is COM
plex art and they deck themselves
as priestesses for their great rite
as singing artists.
Lessons Are Over.
Down the street comes a happy
band of instrumentalists the lessons
over for the day, for they have heard
at last the differences of pitch and
that in the high, pure placement of
a tone lies its greatest emotional
power. They have settled, too, be-
tween themselves, once and for all,
the fact that because they can play
the most taxing works in the reper-
toire, that is no reason why they
should be subsidized as musicians
who will set the world on fire. They
have won the battle with their par
ents and no more will they be taken
from teacher to teacher, exposing
their small ability in the hopes that
greed for glory will get them free
instruction. They have finished
good half-hour of scale work joy
fully, they have practiced their stu
dies and are ready to delve into the
interpretive mysteries of a great
concerto.
Mingling with these happy and
contented students are genial teach
ers who have long ago forgotten that
their pupils were the best, who are
concentrating firmly but kindly on
eradicating the faults of those as
signed to them for guidance. Once
upon time there were such things
as pushing students forward beyond
their power for the sake of personal
glory and of enticing others away
from their teachers with false prom
ises. But not here. In this Utopia
all sacrifices are made and personal
desires set aside for the glory of
art
When twilight falls subdued at
mosphere descends upon the musi-
clans and reverently they wend their
way to the chapel on the hill. There
on bended knee and with head
bowed they offer up thanks for the
gift Of music and for the talent that
has given them the right and the
privilege to penetrate its mysteries.
A song of glorious volume, with
never a trace of soul-shattering
modern harmonies, rises with full
some feeling from the throats of
these chosen people who have seen
the light.
And in the background hovers a
tiny group of serene and contented
music critics, rejoicing in the lessen

because, at last. their readers are
bound to them with a closely forged
link of sympathy and understand

begins to dim, its radiance turns to
dull gray colors and its allure fades.
Like a ghost that has been laid by
mysterious rites, its presence grows
less evident until it has vanished
entirely, with no reminder of its
one-time potency to be found any
where.
But born Of a great regret, 1t
springs to life again, brandishing all
Its enticing vision, whispering not
Of things as they are, but as they
should be-a siren beckoning us on
ward to the rocks that will shatter
all our hopes. But while 1t lasts its
voice Is so powerful and seductive
that once more we are intoxicated
with the might-have-beens and give
way to the spell by which the dream
Is woven again.
In this rosy state of mind we
journey to country where the word
"art" has a supreme and definite
meaning and there we find eager
crowds humbly waiting to add an
other morsel to their learning. There
are kindly teachers in this fair land
who PROFOUND the secrets of art in
lucid fashion. There are assembled
groups of music lovers who are
learning to relinquish their small
knowledge in favor of universal
standpoint from which to judge the
music and the artists they are to
hear. They are being taught that
music which Is familiar and pleas
ing Is not always good music, that
the handsome and soulful artist is
not always the greatest. They are
willingly realizing that judgment of
snch things depends upon connect
ing them with all that has gone be-
fore and with definite, unassailable
rules that have been devised by
great minds.
Utopia's Populace.
Gathered in one place in this
musical Utopia are all the pianists
amiably agreeing on the question
of pianistic methods, all of one
mind regarding incidentals such as
touch, lingering and pedaling. They
are thoroughly convinced that
volume is not the last word in
playing nor virtuosity more than
q cloak for lack of depth of senti-
ment. We find them anxiously ex-
amining what ideas are incorpo-
rated in the music they will present,
some analyzing what are the funda-
mentals of gypsy, Russian or
Spanish music; others studying
young goldfish sporting in bowl,
a group here figuring out the
dynamics of a set of fireworks,
another there studying the delicate
changes of cloud formation.
On one side several can be found
earnestly discussing what is sor-
row and joy. in what way laughter
and tears differ from each other,
what is the meaning of lullaby
and of tender reflective moments.
Then they group themselves about
a master, who can give them
demonstrations of each infinitesimal
shade of meaning and feeling and
they strive to emulate him with
complete abandon of self.
Down on another square in the
sunshine can be found a group of
singers joyously acclaiming their
understanding Of what is perfect
tone. They laugh gayly at their
one-time belief that eighth notes
and sixteenths we're things to be
despised, that rhythm was a thing
