By Kothorine M. Brooks

Mary Howe lives in two worlds.
She is a gifted composer-pianist
and has been a leader in both
fields, winning acclaim for her
music in other cities and other
countries as well as in her "home
town" of Washington.
Her "other world" is social
where as the wife of Walter Bruce
Howe she also has been a leader.
Belonging to that small group of
socially prominent families known
as exclusive, both Mr.. and Mrs.
Howe have kept their friends in
these circles through the years.
Their house at 1921 H street north
west is the mecca for not only the
socially prominent but the great
in the arts.
Program Of Her Music
The National Symphony Or
chestra. for which she has given so
generously of her time and money,
has issued invitations for a pro-
gram of her music. It is to be a

the duo-pian1sts, Celina Dougherty
and VincenZ Ruzicka.
Two piano compositions are
dear to the heart of Mary Howe
for she played with Anne Hull
for some years during which they
appeared with major symphony
orchestras. Mary Howe also did
considerable playing with Katha-
rine McClintock, daughter of the
A. Garrison McClintocks Of Wash
ington.
Music Studies
/ Mary Howe. daughter of the
Calderson Carlisles of Richmond,
where she was born, inherited her
love Of music from her mother,
who seldom missed a concert in
Washington after they moved to
the Capital. AS Miss Carlisle she
studied piano with Richard Bur-
meister in Europe and later with
Ernest Hutcheson and Harold
Randolph. famous duo-pianists
and long associated with the Pea
body Conservatory of Music in
Baltimore. 1t is perhaps from
the association with Hutcheson
and Randolph that Mary Howe
gained her interest and ability in
her two-piano playing.
Pianist Mary Howe started her
study Of composition with Gustav
Strube, also of Baltimore. Mrs.
Howe is a diplomatic in compost
ton from the Peabody Conserva-
tory OF Music. She studied infor-
mally with Nadia Boulanger and
she did her first serious composing
in 1924. This she has continued
each year and during her stay at
the Mcdowell Colony in New
Hampshire each August she COM
pletes numbers of manuscripts.
Heard In Many Cities
Mary Howe's music has been
presented throughout this coun-

Consul Ibunez' Art Appreciation
Leads To Friendship With Artist
BY v. A. V.

This is a story that is inspired
by appreciation"
Until July of this year, Ignacio
a. Arzadon was known by few
outside his immediate neighbors
|and very close friends. Arzadon
lis an artist, a painter of no
mean distinction, and his friends
knew this.
But it was not until the Forum
printed in it's July issue (1952)
"a picture of Arzadon's paintings
|and story of his achievements
|in art that his artistic fame
spread far and wide.
One of those that noticed
|Arzadon's published works was
Filipino forum. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1928-196?, 1952-12-01

Consul Melquiades Ibanez. I'M
mediately he called the artist on
the phone and invited him to his
cocktail party at the Rainier
Club. The artist met his ad-
mirer, and friendship that was
to grow in stature and strength
began at that meeting.
Friendship Developed
The Filipino consul was in
terested in art, and he appreci-
ated Arzadon's efforts on can
vass. The artist, in turn, was
spiritually nourished by the ap-
probation of an admirer. They
became good friends, drawn by
a community of interest and ap-

probation.
Always a Filipino at heart,
and appreciative of things indi-
cative OF Filipino talent and
Filipino genius, Consul Ibanez
asked Artist Arzadon to paint
the formers portrait. The artist
felt his works have been APP
preciated. He was only too glad,
professionally, to do so.
Arazdon welded his brush, in
spired by the obvious apprecia-
ton of a new friend and patron
of art. In few short weeks,
the picture was slowly getting
in shape. And then one day be-
fore he left for New York, Con-
sui Ibanez sat at his office adj
miring the finished work of art.
The consul likes the portrait,
and the artist feels nourished
spiritually with the obvious ap-
probation of his friend.

Tenants Advised How
To Get Refunds

Tenants are advised by Charles
P. Dever, Area Rent Director, that
there are two ways to secure "a
refund if OveTcharged by the land
lord. First tenant may file a D-10
form statement by tenanO with
the local Rent Office. The office
will then seek to obtain from the
landlord a refund of past over
charges and an agreement to make
no future Overcharge The amount
of the refund may be reduced if
the Rent Office finds that the land
lord would have been entitled to
an increase in rent during all or
part Of the period of OVercharge.
Second, tenant has the right
under the Housing and Rent Act
of l947, as amended, to sue for
treble damages, plus court costs
and reasonable attorney fees. Mr..
| DeVer also stated that where the
tenant fails to take action within
30 days of a violation, the United
States has the authority to file
suit for damages up to three times
the amount of the overcharge. In
such cases, the government will
ask the court to require refund of
the exact amount of the over
charge to tire tenant, with any re-
mainder going TO the United
States Treasury.
