"' Negro Music Is ' Subject Of Talk ; At Monday Session Ranging from, the simple melody to the tribal negro through various phaseo to the complex musical com positions of the educated negro, a program was presented last night by Mrs. Merlin Batley at the Neighbor hood Music club meeting at the La 'Grande hotel. She was assisted, by Mrs. Leal Russell, Mrs. James Mc Nnmee, Mls3, Jennie Spaeth, Mrs. Leo Miller. Mrs. H. N. Ashby. The sub ject of Mrs. Bat ley 's presentation was: "Negro Music as an Integral Port of American Music." Tho characteristics of negro music aro rhythm producing a tom-tom ef fect, syncopation and emotional ef fects, which are very plainly marked In the simple melodies of the tribal negro, and which show In the music of the educated negro which Is more complex, she said. "The Grey Wolf," which woe sung by Mrs. Miller, Is an example of the complicated music of tho educated negro, which, Mrs. Bat ley states, is all very tragic as if the negro were educated and sad because ho knows nothing to do about it. Tho musical numbers which Inter spersed Mrs. Batley's talk were "Deep River," by Burleigh sung by Mrs. Leal Russell; "Three Questions," by John (son. Miss Jennie Spaeth; "Lindy Lou." Strickland, Mrs. James Mc Namee; "Seems Lak" To Me," by Johnson, Mrs. Russell; "Life and Death," Coleridge Taylor, Mrs. H. N Ashby; "The Grey Wolf," by Bur leigh, Mrs. Leo Miller. A. A. U. w! Plans For Benefit Sale Flno oriental linen, cunning little brass dragons, squatty little candle sticks and graceful candelabra are among the unique collection of Ori ental novelties which . will be sold by the American Association of Uni versity Women for the benefit of the fellowship fund. Mrs. Fred E. Kid dle is chairman of the sale and has an active and large committee to conduct the event on Saturday at a meeting of the A. A, U. W. at 12:30 at the Sacajawea Inn. Delightful little gifts for Christmas may be procured from the members of tho association. Vanity sets, lungheon cloths, and various pieces made from fine Japanese linen are included In the collection, and for tho tastes that are more bizarre, the committee suggests any of the pieces of brass which are shaped into clever little statues, boxes and paper knives. Trie proceeds of the sale will be turned over to the fellowship com mittee and used to further higher education among women, by giving an opportunity for women to study for high degrees.
