Among them was the formal Mgersr Musicale last Friday, when she appeared on a program with Ralph II. 'Archer, Baritone, of New York City, and Sirs. Lois Lucile Junk, song writer and musician of Berkeley, California ' I" it were I not for folk leaving for summer outings, the eocal page -irtainljr would hare to be suspended. The week baa been very dull, r -deed. Insofar as social affairs were concerned. Independence day we I out flags, draped our porches with bunting and then merrily motored iy from It all to the c,ool places of woodland or river side. And the-weddings; too, have come to a full etop! . Probably the military men have, decided to follow the advice of John '""J Sousa, who upon being asked to write a wedding march for all Americaa bridal couples, declared his wilUagness to do bo, but said he ou.j iVre to await the artistic impulse, adding: "So don't propose un l'I compose.'..- . : . : Cth wedding marches are of German make, as everyone knows. A "et-overlooking of. this fact has been the order of the day, even ' those, who would banish all att.and beauty that is. of German c a, along with the less desirable Teutonic products, f pr many years Mendelssonh's and Wagner's music have been wlth- cut opposition, until now the American defense society comes forward V tn; that' they be banished. I ; If It helps any in the defense of the United States, it Is all right. Perhaps by autumn the brides will be iiurrying to the altar by such M air as George Cohan or Sousa might compose. -It is doubtful if tWs ouH be eEpecially pleasing to a bride who has artistic appreciation, fr'H nacrlflce Is the order of the day in war time, and a couple who WHATEVER success John Phillip sousa may nave in composing the all-American wedding match, it .will be some time at best before It vaallv Kaonma. aat.Hliahori rt whl1 ivitllnr (ha roan 1 f of his efforts we can fill In the time watching the progress of Lolse Lu cille Junk, a former Salem girl, niece of the Joseph . Alberts' and Dr. John Griffiths, who Is visiting here, from Berkeley, California. ' She is rapidly gaining recognition In the musical world, and ts destined to occupy a place uniquely different In It. Salem folk guessed of her talent when as Lois Peebles she took an active part In various local musical endeavors, but it has remained for us to discover her real genius during her present visit. " Since her return north she has been featured on numerous programs, always with the highest criticisms following her performances. Like Sousa M rs. Junk "has to await the artistic impulse," but unlike him, (at least judging from the tardiness with which he meets Ameri ca's most recent request the impulse seems to be more frequent In Its appearance, she having written the words and music to three songs this week. ' i She already has eighty complete poems to her credit, most of them being set to music. Her work la reaching the public through the ZIni merman. Publishing house, and Groby of San Francisco. One of her most notable efforts is "A Love Rosary," a group of songs under the titles of "Love's Rosary." "Yearnings", and "Faithfulness." which Is. dedicated to the memory of her husband. This group will be placed shortly at the local music houses. Another cycle finished this winter was "The Butterfly," containing six descriptive songs of the life of abutterfly. The words are exquisite, and the music of great beauty. It is the next of Mrs. Junk's work to be published and wherever sung has aroused the utmost enthusiasm. The big Impressive thing about' her work Is Us Cirference. it sug gests Carrie Jacobs Bond, but bis a depth and . vividness that that writer's songs do not have, to so great an extent. Mrs. Junk's poems deal with life, simply as it Is and the result Is always unique and de-' lightful. All the old, sweet, familiar themes are dealt with In a way that reaches the heart directly; and the music to which her poems are set is the kind that sings Itseir. , . Mrs. Junk reveals her own personality In her work.: To her i poeti cal idea has just as vivid a musical setting as it has sentiment to a lees versatile reader. Her attitude in lire is the inspiration of the moment. She is always natural never affected In her work, whether in compos ing, playing or singing. s Mrs. Junk passed ten yeara In" California, studying all 'the time and mingling with artistic folk. Many honors were accorded her there, one being a request to sing at the exposition in San Francisco. Some of her poems were published in San Fianclsco and Loa Angeles, the most capable critics praising them unstintedly. ' She-plans to 'give several concerts on the coast before leaving for the East where she will take up her residence. On her way she will visit In Chetek, Wisconsin, at the home of her mother, Mrs. W. W. Cook, who will be remembered here as Virginia Griffith. One of her latest poems, with timely and subtle appeal, and of great charm in dts arrangement Is entitled -'Light." Here It is: . - - i Just for today. Ah! let me live. Not In the darkness I have known. But In the light of truth to rise, i - To feel the power to stand alone. To see things clearly as they are. Not living in a mystic haze. But to imy heart, to life, be true. And fearless of all qeustionlng gaze.. To break these chains that hold us fast, y Which through the ages man has borne, -'' To cast them off and all be free, ' To 'feel a Joy with each new morn. For every life that comes to earth - Should have its right to live,. . To bloom, to shed its light afar,.. . And of hi life to freely give. To give to all the light of truth, . Too long in darkness we have been. To lift each other from the rolre And free our lives of selfish sin. To stamp forever In the dust The cruel guns which savage roar. To dry the tears, to heal all hearts, v To dwell in peace forever more. THE tragic death of Mrs. Charles L. McNary, this week, has not only cast a gloom over society circles but over the entire city as well. Her list of friends was an un usually large one, the continuous stream of messages of condolence pouring into the family, from both near and far, telling of the general feeling of sadness which her death! has caused. - Governor and Mrs. James Wlthy- combe have returned from a month's absence, the time being passed on the I government s experimental farm at Union, eastern Oregon. Their son, I Robert Withycombe, Is in charge, under the direct 'supervision of the Oregon Agricultural College. Coming as pleasing news to the Wlthycombes, as well -as to all their friends la the news of the steady Im provement of their son. Sergeant Early Wlthycombo. whone Illness in Washington. D.
