Moore's "Dirge in the Form of a
Passacaglia" and Frescobaldis "Toc-
cata."
Although only portion of the
Thompson work for the chorus could
be heard, it Immediately impressed
with its richly blended harmonic
writing and its dramatic feryor. The
opening passages are given to the
mems voices, the theme growing in
intensity with the introduction of
the Women'S voices and the weaving
of the two in the great climax on
the words, "Ye shall cry for sorrow
of heart and shall howl for vexation
of spirit"
The text is taken from the Proph-
ecy of Isaiah and its rugged and I'M
compromising spirit is illustrated in
the musical setting. The churchly
chant of the second chorus. inter-
rupted by the shouted Woe" in the
varied choral parts, is an unusual
and effective portion. There is a
surge to this music which combines
melody and rich harmonies with
stretches of simple song. The
singers reproduced it impressively.
The Choral Society, singing unac-
companied and in the choir loft.
gave one of the best performances
of its distinguished career, the
voices sounding particularly fresh
and sonorous in the surroundings.

Soap and Water
Complexion Aid

BEFORE A girl can qualify

women who consider their faces
too sacred to have contact with

II you are dubious about your
skin, feel that it lacks freshness
and looks dingy, get yourself a
magnifying mirror, 1t will in
spire you to greater efforts TO
condition your complexion. Tiny
black dots don't look tidy and
they have a way of developing
into raised red points that are
even worse in appearance.
Use soap at bedtime and don't
be stingy with it Have the
water fairly hot. No need of
being energetic, pass the soaped
washcloth over the surface
lightly.

Size Important

One of the chief faults is in
correct size. Lamps generally
serve to provide light for read
ing, study. work or play and
they should be chosen with that
Z function in mind. A reading
lamp must be large, enough TO
illuminate the page well but
not so large as 10 permit the
beam to strike the eyes while
reading. This is a common
cause of eye fatigue.
Let common sense be your
guide in determining the correct
height You can. with a little
experimenting. discover that a
lamp a few inches higher than
the one you use will light the
page better or that one a couple
of inches shorter will prevent
direct beams from reaching
YOUR eyes.
