chairman of publicity for the
Wogans Committee last year and
because of her great success has
been asked to carry on again, as

ioned of alternate bands-several
inches wide-of pale blue and yell

short puffed sleeves and square
neckline and long skirt. With it
she wore-during the concert-a
short cape of soft blue and white
shetland wool. Mrs. Dunlap had
much to say about the forthcoming
benefit concert for the Army and
Navy Relief for which Lily Pons

with Mr.. Harold Brooks, a tireless
worker for the symphony for some
years and chairman of the Summer
Concerts Committee, the new song

when Kate Smith will sing it.
