After praising little Miss Berkova,
but regretting that she had ap-
peared on this particular occasion,
when new orchestra demanded full
attention, Mr.. Downes added: 1T is
an excellent orchestra, little
smaller than the standard SYM
phonic complement, SO that some
added strings would probably pro-
vide the full sorority that the ear
anticipates on a modern symphonic
occasion. But the players in mass
are very good, with no weak spots
noted in leading positions and an
especial depth and quality of the
lower strings. The brass is full and
commanding without stridency, save
when Or Kinder elects to drive it.

But Mr.. Downes didn't care so
much for the programme called 1t
"indifferently assorted"-and he re-
marked that when such an orches-
ira visits here we have right to
expect a more representative pro-
gram for its Offering"
OF the Hindemith composition, the
critic said: The work was played
brilliantly by the orchestra, though
not with the best co-ordinated tempt
and with lack of the mystical feel
ing which inhab bits, for example, the
first movement. In passages de-
manding broader straight vigorous
playing and effects of sheer sound

which the National Symphony re-

sounded like weary. uninspired and
northumberland little to criticize.
Mr.. Thomson. who succeeded to the
post held by the late Lawrence Gill
man, one of Americas most famous
music critics, wrote in today's re-
view:
The music last night was rich
and varied"
He compared DR.. Kinder to Leo
pold Stokowski, not altogether to
the latter's advantage, saying the
Washington conductor seems to
have modelled his orchestral per-
formance on that of Stokowski. He
seats his musicians as Mr.. Stokow-
ski used to do al one time, with the
cellos way down front at stage-left
and the bra asses centered at the back.
He insists on an OF ean-like sostenuto
from his trombones and gets it. He
builds a smooth and quite powerful
crescendo"
But Mr.. Thomson added: Or
Kinder is capable of no such faults
as Mr.. Stokowski habitually COM

"At five. I'll meet you at the

After Janice left, Kirk sat down
in his chair and began abruptly:
There's nothing to do but pay your

to court. He's signed an agreement
to stop molesting you for $50 a week

Kirk tried to argue. 1t was no

Finally he broke in: "I'm your guard

81. You will pay him the money
until that time. Then if you want
to fight, that's another story"
They stood glazing at each other
over the desk.
"You can't do this. Can he, Dick ?"
Sonny appealed to the attorney.

Kirk stood up: "Just a minute,
Sonny. If you think all this is any

time with such matters. It's dis
gushing. I'm simply trying to save
trouble-at a price and cheap one.
You'll do as I say. Otherwise you'll

me into this in the beginning!"
The moment he had spoken, he was
sorry, for Sonny's stricken face made
him ashamed. "I'm sorry, Sonny
Kirk pleaded. 81 didn't mean it."
He came over and putting his arm
around her, bent to kiss her: "There,
now, we've made up"
The kiss brought tears to Sonny's
eyes, but not word did she utter.
For some inexplicable reason she was
so lonely.
"Come, dear. No more tears. I'm
going to take you to LUNCH"
Cali during the meal, Sonny kept
seeing Janice's dark face. She had
known that some day Kirk would
marry Janice, but she did not like to
think about it.

"She's lovely. Give her a couple

"She does now!" Janice cried out.
"And not because she's a knockout,

Lets not discuss it any more.
We mustn't argue the very night

With terrified self-control, Janice
forced herself to say: "I'm sorry,

He bent to kiss her gently.

At the time, Janice and Kirk were
quarreling over Sonny, the latter was
in AIMS apartment with Alex and
Ann. A breeze came from the river.
Sonny, in a swirl of sheer black,
stood at the windows. Alex watched
her slim figure. In the half light
her mahogany hair looked almost
black.
"Do you ride?" asked Alex.
you'd be charming in riding cloth
es."
I'D like to learn"
"I'll teach YOU"
Ann, at the piano, forced her fin
gers to find the melody she had
started.
Get some riding toys tomorrow.
Well ride Thursday morning in the
park
AIMS head bent over the keys
Alex knew she loathed horses.
"I'd love it," Sonny said eagerly.
81 want to learn things. I want to
ride and I want to dive and I want
TO dance-oh, everything there is to
do"
Alex took Sonny's hand, saying
I'll teach you to ride-to dance-all
the things you want to do"
AIMS hands fell on the keys with
considerable force but the rapt couple
at the window did not notice. 81 can't
hear it! I won't" But even as Ann
made the protest, she knew she
would.
Thursday morning. Alex began
teaching Sonny to ride. She was a
fetching picture in white linen rid
ing breaches and open-throated shirt,
her red hair piled high on her head.
Such a figure on the bride path
could not go unnoticed long. With
in a week, she gained newspaper
column notoriety. Kirk read it at
breakfast and was furious. He tele-
phoned Ann Immediately. "Can't you
look after herr" he demanded.
When he heard AIMS distraught
voice, he felt suddenly sorry for her.
what am I going to do, Kirk ?"
she asked.
"She really isn't interested in Alex,
is she?"
81 don't know. But 1 think we
ought to get away"
GO wherever you like, but make
it soon," Kirk directed. "And next
fall I'll send Sonny to school,"
With hope in her heart, Ann talk
ed to Sonny that night about going
north for a month. 1t was hot in
town but, in the high air-condition-
ed apartment, it was cool.
Alex was there as usual. He glow
cred at Ann when she brought up the
subject. "You know I can't afford

petulantly.
"Why not? You can go with us.
1t won't cost you anything" Sonny
said quickly. WED be horribly bor-
ed without you"
81 couldn't let you do that" Alex
protested.
Before Sonny could object, AIMS
voice broke in: Leslie and are leav-
ing town without escort!"
Sonny, standing at the window,
turned: Whatever you say, Ann"
Alex stood up stiffly and said, "I'll
go along and dress for dinner"
Shortly after, the maid announced

foster-father.

demanded.

frowning eyes. "Who is paying for

Sonny knew he had been drinking.
She was suddenly afraid.
He grabbed her wrist: "I'm your

Sonny called frantically for Ann
who came running. Richardson, bend
ing back Sonny's arm, glared at
Ann. "Look at this woman you're
living with! She's-not respectable"
AIMS face crimsoned as she reach
ed for the telephone.
Richardson was too quick for her.
But Sonny slipped from his grasp
and ran to her own room where she
'phoned for help. Then she hurried
back to AIMS aid.
Shortly, two house detectives and
some bell boys charged into the a.
partment.
Richardson fought like a maniac.
Sonny's dressing gown was torn from
her shoulders. AIMS face was
scratched. Someone telephoned the
police and Richardson was finally
subdued.

ny cried. When she heard his voice
on the phone, she quickly told him:
"My foster-father was just here. He
made terrible scene"
II was afraid of that" Kirk said.
81 had letter from him today. Stay
there in the apartment tonight. To-
morrow we'll try to get the matter
settled quietly"
Then Kirk added, Don't talk to
anybody. Cut off your phone i'm
mediately."
So the two girls barricaded them
selves in the apartment and refused
all calls.
"He can't make me go with him,
can he?" demanded Sonny.
If he only could, Ann thought, but
she knew that Richardson would have
little standing in court. However,
he could make trouble.
you'll probably have to buy him
off"
"I'll never do that! I hate him.
He made my life miserable!"
"But you may have to pay for
peace-when you have money" Ann
retorted. II know what Kirk will
say. It's a shake-down."
Reporters and photographers were
soon beseiging the apartment.
Sonny slept fitfully that night. At
breakfast she looked tired and wan.
We've got to get away" she re-
marked as she tried to drink her cof-
fee. well go the end of the week."
Later Sonny left the hotel by
