French Influence Seen
In Dress Of Women Of
West African Province

ABOMEY, DAHOMEY, West
Africa, July 5.-The descendants
of the tabled Amazonian women
warriors claim today, that they are
the most feminine and best dressed
women along this stretch OF the
African slave coast.
They say 1t Is the Paris influence
reflected in this French West Afri-
can Province.
They look down their noses at
their less fashionable British CO.
lonial neighbors In Nigeria, the
Gold Coast and Togoland.
Most important, Paris has de-
veloped a blue lipstick for equa-
torial and torrid zone Negro
women. British natives have only
various red shades.
In Dakar, Conakry and Grand
BaSsam and in this ancient capi-
tai, the French pay much more at
tention to current African styles.
Some of us are larger and more
muscular than the average Afri-
can woman" says Nine. Ololo
Fonga, Abomey's leading outdoor
beauty parlor proprietor. (She
gives facials and performs hair
de-kinking jobs in front of her
thatch hut But we are not
Amazons like the women who are
supposed to have made up that
army centuries ago."

to slow up or make any effort to
avoid killing game or damaging
their cars. The conservation de-

ing into deer or other wild ami

combined tone was rich and ex-
pressive. The expert handling OF
the recurring themes is another.
Woven in and out of the substan-
tial fabric provided by the soli-
darity of strings and the opu-
lent piano part, they become
stronger in their impact because
of their flashing appearance among
the instruments. The particular
elevated sentiment that is F'ranck's
is less benign and tender than
that of Brahms and its restless
up-reaching has something STIR
ring in it.
The spiritual accord of the ar
fists was complete and the per-
formance was inspiring as well as
a model of musical polish and un-
derstanding. It was not only
program of unusual interest and
appeal but in finish ranked among
the best presented by the Founda-
ton. It will be repeated tonight
in a special performance in cele-
bration of Mrs. Whittall's BIRTH

By Alice Eversmon

The chamber music series in
the Library Of Congress. spon-
eored by the Gertrude Clarke
Whittal Foundation, started last
night with a most rewarding pro-
gram. The Budapest String
Quartet, whose playing of the
Whittall Stradivari instruments
at these concerts is one Of the
highlights of the local season,
was assisted by Frank Sheridan,
pianist, and Mason Jones, horn.
The combination of these artists
permitted the hearing of Mozart's
piano quartet in E fiat major,
XIV. 493," the Brahms Horn
Trio" and the Franck Quintet
in F minor"
It was a program rife with
melody of the most sublime kind.
It was a study as we'll in contrast
of style and musical intellectual
ity. Few of the other works by
these composers show so clearly
their emotional processes, al
though the E fiat major quartet
by Mozart touches little of the
depths of which he was capable.
If, as is claimed. he sought to
reach a larger. public with a work
of lighter character, it is none
theless exquisite in its delicacy
and grace. Less profound than
the preceding quartet in G minor,
1t embodies so fully the sparkling
charm, the suave flow of line and
the joyous elan of his brighter
moments as to be gem of the
quartet literature.
These characteristics were estab-
lished and maintained by Mr..
Sheridan, whose skillful tonal
coloring and variety OF nuance
imbued the performance with a
constant play Of light and shade.
While following, in the main, the
same outline, his partners
Joseph Roisman, violin; Boris
Kroyt, viola. and Mischa Schnei-
der, cello-were less successful in
setting forth that evanescent
quality that Is inherent in the
tranquil, pensive Larghetto as in
the mivelier enclosing movements.
In musical analysis, the four mu-
sicians were in complete accord
and the sum total Of their artistic
delivery aroused a storm Of ap-
plause.
At times in the Brahms trio, the
piano overshadowed the other in
struments which, in dramatic mo-
ments, could not compete with 1t
in volume. Mr.. Jones horn play
ing was exceptionally pure in tone
and significant in the broad and
fiawlessly intoned phrasing. But
the difficulty of blending the di-
verse instruments remains in spite
of the fact that Brahms has given
to each some of his most beautiful
melodies. Mr.. Roisman charged
his tone with melloWness and
matched Mr.. Sheridan in the pas
sages of romantic sweep. The bril-
liant finale was played in master
ly fashioon by the three artists
and in several recalls at the end,
Mr.. Jones received the congratula-
tions of his colleagues.
The finest ensemble was at
tanned in the Franck Quintet" J."
where Jac Gorodetzky, second vio-
linist of the Budapest group. par
ticipated. The unison playing OF
strings is a marked feature in this
highly dramatic work and the
