like $4,000 a year-any spare time
thrown in. A Harvard man. an Or
ganizer who possesses rare executive
ability, Mr.. MacLeish, the poet
librarian had difficulty in getting
him to take the job. but the lure of
the fine old books was evidently too
strong, so he came with reserva-
tions, but says the people at the
Library are tops when it comes to
helping tenderfoot out.
Began Collecting
MANY Years Ago"
1t was so long ago-Mr. Houghton
has now reached the advanced age
of 33-that he says he can't quite
recall just when he first began to
collect rare and first editions. but
he thinks it must have been the
fever seized him when he was boy
at ST. Paul's School and found Alice
in Wonderland fascinating and
great fun. He came across an old
copy and was wild to have more
and the best. AS a result he has
the largest and most varied collec-
ton of Lewis Carroll in existence.
1t includes translations in 35 Ian
guages: shorthand, Braille and de-
lectable parodies. His collection of
books is largely English literature,
of which he is very fond. With a
cocky air he said he thought his
First Folio Shakespeare-in perfect
conditlon-WaS much finer than the
one in the Folger Library, and too,
he has the finest copy anywhere of
Shakespeare's poems in the original
binding-1640-and these, with bis
Gutenberg Bible. are the chef
d'oeuvres of his collection.
We did not think it polite to ask
how much he paid for his Guten-
berg Bible, but we do know that
Mr.. Henry E. Huntington paid $50
600 for the copy in the Huntington
Library in California, and that the
last copy sold in 1885 brought s106,-
900. There are 43 copies of the Bible,
including the one in the Library of
Congress.
Mr.. Houghton, among other orig
tnal manuscripts and letters, owns
the original manuscript of Boswell's
Life of Johnson" :. original manu-
scripts and letters of the immortal
Samuel Pepys of the Brownings,
Boswell's letters. and the largest
collection of Edmund Spenser and
John Keats known to exist--by the
way. it is said that it was Spenser's
"Faerie Queene" that first inspired
Keats to attempt poetry and that
Spenser's Shepherds Calendar"

like in the clarity and evenness Of
its fioratura passages.
A group Of French songs, includ-
ing Faure's "Apres un Reve," "
Chabrier's Willamette des Petits
Canards," Debussy's III Pleure dams
mon occur" and 'Fantoches," be-
gan the tightening process Of the
programs mood. While this group
again contained the fine polish Of
expert delivery, the songs are in
themselves not SO we'll suited to a
voice such as Miss Pons' for they
require more resonant and colorful
tone and greater sublety of shading,
especially in the Debussy numbers.
However, a climax again was
reached with the Bishop-La FORCES

Domenico Iascone Of the National

Miss Pons called for two encores in

silver diadem on her head and
flashing jewels on her neck and
arms. The dainty little singer
always can be counted upon to
please the eye as well as the ear,
but within the last few years she
has grown so pronouncedly in the
latter respect that the purity of her
singing far outshines her charm of
manner. Last night she gave the
finest recital here.
She offered unique program for
coloratura, one that called for the
best in voice and artistry. It ranged
through periods and styles, serious
music for the most part, yet light
ened by numbers that, while attract
ing by their brightness, were never
cheap. Miss Pons has laid aside
completely the snowy, nervous de-
livery of her earlier years to become
a poised, serious artist perfectly
cognizant of what she is doing and
how she is doing it. The quietness
of her demeanor allows the purity
of her voice and it's brilliant colora-
tura to come forth with a natural
ness that enhances its beauty.
She was in particularly fine voice,
with an added note of warmth to
deepen some of the more lyric num-
bers. Her effortless delivery of the
most exacting passages and the
sweet, restrained tone of others were
as lovely as birds whose notes she
initiated in several of the songs. In
perfect sustaining of breath and in
the evenness of her wide range, she
proved the development which her
artistry has undergone from the
technical standpoint while the senti-
ment which colored each song was
used with a fine sense of discrimi-
nation that avoided every trace Of
exaggeration.
With Frank La Forge supplying
unobtrusive but highly congenial ac-
compartments, she gave as a begin
ming three classic songs that were
as unhackneyed as they were lovely.

Science Of True Se|fhood
Discussed al Lecture

A lecture on christian Science:
The Science of True Selfhood''
was given last night in Memorial
Continental Hall by Mr.. Thomas E.
Hurley of Louisville, KY, under
auspices of Second Church of Christ,
Scientist.
Mr.. Hurley said, in part:
THE divine demand, Work out
your own salvation, confronts each
of us today, and the method pre-
scribed and used by the Master Is
as available and as effective now as
when he told his followers, 'Ye
shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free
"The truth about what? The
truth about ones self-the science
of true selfhood. And from what is
this truth to free us? Jesus did not
say that to know the truth would
free us merely in some particular
respect. such as from sin, but that
it would make us free-free in every
respect-which means freedom not
only from sin, but also from sick
ness, disease. death, lack. old age,
unemployment, unhappiness, inhar-
mony, and imperfection of every
kind.
And why has mankind been so
slow in arriving at these right, de-
monstrable answers? Mainly be-
cause it has been looking in the
wrong direction. In its search for
the answer to the question. What
is MANI it has neglected to seek
the man of whom God is mindful.
1t has been mesmerized into focus
ing attention almost entirely on
what the material senses declare
man to be.
Fortunately there is other evi-
dence regarding man, evidence
quite contrary to the foregoing, evil
dence derived from spiritual sense.
and which is subject to positive
proof.
"The primary source OF this evi-
dence is the Bible, which declares
man to be made in the image and
likeness of God. Therefore, to know
the truth about man it is necessary
to have a correct understanding of
the true nature of God, and this
also is to be found in the inspired
word of the scriptures. Christian
Science is based on, elucidates, and
amplifies the spiritual evidence
contained in the Bible"

Iascone again providing the flute
obligato. Seldom heard on concert
programs today, this great scene can
only be effectively sung by an artist
of the caliber of Miss Pons. Her
voice gained in power and concen-
tration of tone SO that her perform

tones, heard in other numbers of the

peak in this finale of a noteworthy
concert that will remain a lingering
memory until the day she returns

impeccable and the best of bel canto
singing. They were songs that
called for dignity of delivery as well
as graceful phrasing and a finely
spun tone, and Miss Pons sang them
superbly.
In concluding this first group a
long jump forward was made, for
some reason, to the "Caro Nome"
aria from Verdi's "Rigoletto," a num-
ber hardly to be linked so closely
with the older masters. However, it
served to not delay the fact that
Miss Pons' meter is the opera and
its brilliant arias, or perhaps to
show that the same careful style and
fine type of singing of the classics
could be employed as perfectly in
the more modern works. At any
rate, she sang it exquisitely, calmly
