TEW.tORK, June 10. The opera
- tie season of 1 915-1916 hayinr
' come to an end, the army of
' artists, singers and dancers who havo
assisted Managing Director Max Ralf.
, Inoff "in making history for the Boa
. ton Grand Opera company, has dls
fanded, seeking rent and recreation at
' the seashore or in the mountains.
They all enjoy a well-deserved vaca
tion; not so Managing Director Max
., Rablnoff, on whose shoulders falls
tha burden of paving the way for an
"v'ther triumphant trans-continental
journey.
Vhen seen In his offices In the
Metropolitan Opera House building
1 last week, he had this to say:
t "' "I am for preparedness, and now

"Wants. From the very first day after
the end of our last tour I have been
unceasingly applying my efforts and

' of art, Not a single adverse news
'paper criticism was forthcoming. Nor
Was it necessary to draw on any of
the guaranty funds pledged to secure
the organization against financial
loan; the patronage paid every ex
pense. Since this triumph was made
largely possible through the co-opera-tlon
of the various local grand opera
;, oomhiittees, I have decided on a new
" Crder of things which means annual
C 'enjoyment of grand opera for the
future. I have secured the necessary
co-operation required from grand
opera committees in the principal
. ' cities and therefore have altered the
.' name of the organization to conform
to the broader scope I now Intend to
- pursue. Henceforth the organization
ahUl be known an the Boston-National
Urand Opera company, a national in-
. atltutlon pledged to Kive in as many
. ftltlen as 1m feaulble the ort of grand
. opera which the foremost cities of
,. ttie world are accustomed to having.
Next In Importance to the organiza
tion" itself will be the National com
: -ulttee. This body in to be composed
Of one member from each local grand
opera ronimllleo and it will act in an
'. advisory capacity In shaping the ar
tistic policies of the Boston-National
' , Institution.
"As the first tangible move In the
i qlrectlon of enlisting possible govern
ment support, this deserves the con-
, sjlderation of all progressive men and
;omen. Although my plans for the
..coming season of 1916-1917 are not
yet complete In their many details
you may state that the repertoire will
, tt both entertaining and novel and
r that the organization reinforced, wi'.'
fce made stronger even than It wan
i the past season by the addition of a
, ;tumbir of internationally famous
; artists.
' "There are to he'flve distinct varie-

The STEIN WAY
As a Wedding Gift
l Aside from its sentimental value, the charm of a
Wedding Gift lies in its usefulness and permanency.
CJ There are Steinways in service today that were given
as Wedding Presents more than fifty year ago.
They have been handed down as heirlooms from one
generation to another. About them cling memories
dearer than those associated with any other object in
the household.
t The beauty of its rich, sympathetic quality of tone
its resonant, harmonious bass its sparkling, mellow
treble its instant response to one's rnoods make the
Steinway more than a mere piano; it is liktt an inti
mate friend who has shared in one's happiness and
trials, and, never faltering, remains loyal and true under
any and all conditions a source from which flow
comfort, pleasure and inspiration.
J Then, too, in choosing the Steinway, there is consid
erable comfort in the knowledge that it is the best
the STANDARD by which all pianos are judged.

took place in the afternoon at 8 o'clock.
It was in the nature of a follies, and
was very amusing:. The various offi
cers responded with their stunts as
their names were called. The presi
dent played the musical setting for a
reading given by the treasurer, for
which one of the directors gave the ap
propriate gestures. Another director
gave a violin solo, accompanied by one
of the secretaries. The four secre
taries appeared together In one musi
cal number, while the auditor put on
an Indian dance, accompanied by a di
rector. The vice-preBident gave an
original reading. Miss Jessie Jewett
opened the formal program of the aft
ernoon with a contralto solo; she has
a good voice, and her numbers were
much enjoyed; they were, "Who
Knows" (Ball) and "Mighty Lak a
Rose." Miss. Marie Delgardo accom-,
panled her. Miss Marguerite Egbert
gave two original monologues that
were very humorous. Mrs. Nadine
Baker Metzger was oh the program for
a reading, "The Americano Girl." Mrs. ,
Harlow's Junior pupils presented a pro
gram of 'esthetic dancing that was a
real treat. The grounds of the Pierce
home made an ideal setting for this
form of entertainment, and added very
materially to the artistic effect. The
dancers were all in costume, and made
a pretty picture. . The program was:
"Lady Betty" and "Spanish Waltz."
Miss Violet Denzmer and Master Hal
dane Harned; "Russian Mazurka."
Miss Francis La Point; French "Ga
votte," Miss Margaret Cook and Mas
ter Charles Jacobson; Greek Vestal
Dance, Miss Emelle Mlchals; "Dixie
Dance" and "Caprice Gavotte," Miss
Ruth Doty and Harold Grant.
Mrs. Rodney I. Herrlck, in a Russian
costume, dispensed tea from a real
Russian samovar. She was assisted
by Miss Gladys Anderson, Miss Melba
Westengarde, Mrs. Henry Dabney and
Mrs. Metzger. Punch was served by
Mesdames Fred Kribs, J. L. Stafford
and George Knight Clark. A demure

gypsy, Mrs. P. L. Thompson, and an
Egyptian prophetess, Miss Minnie El

museum of antiquities was opened fo.
inspection. A basket supper was served at 6:30
for the husbands and guests, the tables
were arranged under the trees and the
outdoor air gave added zest to the ap
petites, and fuf justice was done to
tho good thingeTrovided. In the eve
ning a short formal program was giv
en, Mr. Becker, the musical director,
presenting the chorus for the musical
part of the program. An octet from
the chorus gave one number and Miss
Fromme gave a soprano solo with flute
obligato by John 11. Czerny, Mr. Beck
er at the piano. Mrs. P. L. Thompson
gave a reading from the "School for
Scandal" that was much enjoyed, and
responded with a lighter encore num
ber. Several of the dancing numbers
were repeated in the evening, and the
effect under the twinkling lights was
more beautiful than in the afternoon
in the sunshine. Those who returned
to take part in the later program were:
Misses Violet Denzmer, Emelle Mich-
els and Ruth Doty and Master Haldane
Harned and Harold Grant. This con
cluded the program for the evening.
The guests spent the rest of the tiros
in social intercourse and dancing. An

the Oregon hotel In a state convention,
An , Important business meeting was
held at the opening session, when of
ficers for the year ware elected and
tho by-laws and constitution adopted.
The state was divided into districts
and it is probable that a vice presi
dent will be elected from each section
who will in turn be responsible for
the local organizations in his district.
-Following4 the organisation and dis
cussion of policies of : the association
there were a few short talks followed
by general discussion on the live Is
sues of musical growth and conditions
in the state. The Portland' Musicians'
club appointed John Claire Monteith
as chairman of the organization, and
many interesting features ' were ar
ranged by him for the day's work. The
ubject of credits for music in the
public school was discussed. Wil
liam R. Boone talked on "The Finan
cial Returns of the Music Industry in
the City of Portland." Mrs. , Herman
Heppner, head of the music- department
of the State Federation of Women's
liibs, spoke on "The Development of
Appreciation and Interest in Music
Through the Women's Clubs of the
"State" and "Concert Giving in Small
Communities." Miss Carlisle of Hood
River, Or., talked on ''Music; as Pre
sented by the Women's Club in Hood
River." Frederick "W. Goodrich read,
without discussion, the. new bill for
the registration of musicians. The
needs of their communities were given
in short talks by out-;of-town mu
sicians and Mrs. Thomas Carrick
Burke talked on "The .'Value of Mu
sical Clubs to Local Coinsnunities."
At 12:30 luncheon was served in tne
Oregon room. During the luncheon
there were several short speeches and
good fellowship meeting between
local and out-of-town musicians.
Bethlehem, Pa Has Unique Musical
Activities. From the New York Eve.
ning Post Is taken the following in
teresting note on musl6: in the town of
Bethlehem, Pa.: "New York has long
oeen the best place on this globe to
hear famous opera singers. Thanks to
the havoc created in Europe by the
war, it has now also become the
world's musical metropolis, so far as
orchestral concerts and recitals by fa
mous soloists are concerned. But In
one thing New York does not lead. To
near a thrilling performance of the
choral works of the greatest of all
composers Johann Sebastian Bach
we have to go west ninety miles from
New York to the city of Bethlehem,
Pa., which has made a specialty of the
works of Bach, as Bayreuth has of the
operas and music dramas of Wagner.
Music festivals there are aplenty
throughout the country every spring
and summer, but what Is heard in them
is equalled or surpassed in the metrop
olis. Bethlehem alone offers what
cannot be or, at any rate, Is not
duplicated elsewhere.
Bethlehem is also, as everybody
knows, the home of the great steel
company which employs 22.0U9 work
men."
Botes of Interest from Street Stu

heard several times of late, and which
added a delightful variety to the pro

The Calvary Presbyterian choir.
Hotchkiss . Street, director, and Miss
Margaret Lamberson, organist gave
their regular monthly musical service
last Sunday night The choir sang
two big numbers, the Mozart Twelfth
mass. "Gloria," and "Sing Alleuia
Forth," by D. Buck. Mrs. Morgan
Fowle and Miss Catherine Brandes
were the soloists, Mrs. Fowle using Dr.
Bischoff s. "Come, Holy Spirit" which
showed her glorious soprano voice to
rreat advantage. Miss Brandes sang
very successfully, "Hold Thou My
Hand" (Briggs.)
Geo. Hotchkiss Street is planning
to present some of his advanced pu
pils in recital the latter part of this
month.

Gentlemen: I want to add my appreciation of the wonder
ful artistic qualities of the Mason & Hamlin Piano to the many
others which I know you already have. The Mason & Hamlin
Piano, as a support to the voice, is inimitable; in fact, it fulfills
every imaginable requirement from the point of view qf both
artist and audience. Sincerely yours,
(Signed) DELPHINE MARX.
Mason & Hamlin grand Pianos are as distinctly art products as
are the masterpieces of painting or sculpture. ; j
i '1
The musician who seeks the finest medium for the expression of
his art, the music-lover who desires the sympathetic companionship of
a perfect musical instrument, the man of wealth and culture who is
satisfied with nothing less than the best, all find in this superb piano
complete satisfaction of their needs. x
The Mason & Hamlin costs a little more but it is worth more
than any other piano the world has known. '.

ej a number of years ago by Miss Ruth I
Guppy, former dean of women at the,
university, who recently resigned hes.
position. Mrs. Gerlinger took it up
afterward, and has been diligently
working ever since that time.
"There is a great deal of work to do
yef said Mrs. Gerlinger. "and from
now on we feel that the fund should be
raised largely by Individual subscrip
tions. We have been unable to do any
real work in Portland, owing to other
campaigns there"
.The largest items on the list have
been contributed by the women's league
of the university, totalling $1050.99;
by Portland alumnae 11000, and by this
year's graduating class, whloh has es
tablished a class memorial that will
net between $700 and $1000.
Mrs. Gerllnger's report shows that
Eugene and university organizations
together have raised over $4700 of the
amount Eugene sources alone have
contributed over 12275. and university
sources alone over $2800. An Item of
$997.86 from unclaimed university
funds was contributed through Mrs
Gerllnger's diligence in delving into
the institution's accounts aqd making
a request from the regents for the use
of these funds.

Philadelphia, Pa., June 10. There is
such a thing as having an automobile
with a conscience, j And In Philadel
phia there is such a car.
One of this class is owned by Mrs.
Jennie Snyder. It was resting com
fortably for' the alght in a garage,
when two men forced open the door, '
jumped In the car and tried to kidnap
It, The car spluttered and chugged Its
indignation in loud snorts.
It hissed and fumed and began to
move backward. The strangers then
realized that it was a self-starter. The
machine backed through the doors of
the garage, continued backward a'-ross
the street and crashed Into the house
opposite. There it dislocated the front
steps, lacerated a browrmtonc sll.
punctured a window and bruised the
lower psrt of the dwelling.
The thieves concluded that the auto
mobile was possessed of supernatural
Instincts. They Jumped and fled In
terror, leaving the car grinding its
teeth aKaJnst the wall and uttering
maledictions against theN universe In
general.
There is no trace of the thieves.

you must attack it under the skin as
well as on the skin.

original liquid de
pilatory, does this
by absorption. It
alone contains car
