' Here Is the "foreword" of the Mac- Dowell Club this season, a message written by the president, Mrs. Thomas Carrick Burke: "The gravity of the world situation today, in which both the art treasures -of the centuries and the creative talent of today are being destroyed on every battle front, en hances rather than diminishes the value of any organised group which, is trying to stimulate a feeling for art. There could never be greater need for things of the spirit than at this mo ment when civilization is writhing in agony and uncertainty. Men and women now. hunger more deeply for music, for beauty in every form, not merely because these things delight and uplift, but because they offer a golden moment of f orgetf ulness and balm to anxious and sorrowing hearts. An organization of the strength and the ideals of the MacDowell Club must not be lost, but must be continued with the understanding that its resources and the talent which it includes shall be used wherever they may be most useful in this crisis. Every member will be glad to know that we have bought t500 worth of liberty bonds and that the garden pageant which we gave at Rockholm yielded $500 for-the Red Cross. It is proposed to open headquarters, at once, where a Mac Dowell Club unit will work under the direction of a newly-created war serv ice committee, materials being bought with our treasury fund or voluntarily contributed. We shall continue to sup port the symphony orchestra and the MacDowell Memorial Association, it possible, to hold patriotic community sings and to give concerts for the dif ferent high schools. Negotiations are pending for recitals by Percy Grainger and Louis Graveure, and the usual bi monthly club programmes will be sup plemented by concerts for the soldiers at Vancouver Barracks. In brief, it is the earnest wish of the board of direc tors to direct the activities and expend the money of this body as wisely as possible, not only for the enjoyment of our memteers. but wherever possible to aid the Government and benefit the brave boys who are fighting our bat tles in France." MIS1C BRIEFS. . . Joseph A.

"But that interest," continues the writer, "has become the property of the peo ple from the highest to the very low est. When, you note in Italy the familiarity of tins bootblack, the cab driver, the poorest vender of merchan dise, with the standard operas, how with uncultured but natural, pleasing voices they can and do sing selections from almost every standard work, you will soon come to the conclusion that In Italy musical "atmosphere" is not a myth. If anywhere you find this "at mosphere" In Italy. But It is the at mosphere of operatic music, first and last. Yes, I even make so bold as to say that a concert by the greatest opera singer would not nearly awaken the same interest as the singer's as sistance in an opera performance. Here, as elsewhere, of course, the up per and upper middle classes cultivate the more absolute form of music, as represented by symphonies, oratorios and chamber music. Nor must the beneficial influence f the Catholic Charch -in the cultivation and propa gation' of sacred music be overlooked. But on the whole the musieaf life of Italy is dominated by the opera." Lucien E. Becker, organist of Trinity Episcopal Church.' .Nineteenth and Everett streets, will resume his month ly pipe-organ recitals for the Winter season, commencing tonight at 8 o'clock. It has been the custom for several years in Trinity Church to em phasize the musical features of the Sunday evening service on the first Sunday of the month. During this Win ter Mr. Becker will devote various Sun day evenings to programmes which will be made up of compositions by the various composers of different nations, each programme containtng at least two standard pipe-organ numbers. The pipe organ in Trinity Church is one or the largest west of the Rocky Moun tains, and its exceptional tone, com bined with the masterful playing of Mr. Becker.- and the beauty of the church, make one of these musical services beautiful, educational and reverent. The public is cordially invited and earnest ly requested to attend. The following miscellaneous programme will be ren dered tonight: Variations on the tune "America"- (Hesse):-"Song of Spring" (MacFarlane) ; "Minuet in G Major" (Beethoven): ""Fugue E Flat Major," "St. Anne" (Bach); '"Meditation" (Aloys Klein).
