QUITE the outstanding musical
event of the week was the
, evening of chamber music
given at-the -country home, of Col.
and . Mrs. Gordon Voorhles. Friday
evening by the Portland Chamber
Music String quartet.
: The ensemble was composed of
Susie Fennel Pipes, first violin,
who Is well known irt the valley
it in
her
kHu
r Ale
and has many, personal friends
here who delight In her art, and
bertTSbrsnsenseoond yloliu..
lexahder Vdovin, viola and Fer
dinand. Konard, 'vJplln-'ccllo.
There seems ,10 be. a special
unity: about the work ot-a string
quartette that enables the' play
ers to re-create the music, giving
it the same freshness, spontanlety
nnd subtle musical quality that it
had upon Its emergence from the
brain and heart';of ' the composer.
Th rendition Is ' something more
than tre beautifully -evident ac
curacy of reading, pcrclslon of at
tack, delicacy of release, or fin
ished phrasing, and takes on a
spiritual quality, that ' made the
classic D major quartet by Mozart
most exquisite and appealing.
The Russian . school was rep
resented . by a captivating num
ber from a suite by Olaz-onow.
The haunting beauty and memory
stirring notes of the Londonder
ry Air, entangled, as it were In
a . maze of intricate modern har
monic progressions, which finally
gave way to the lucid beauty and
satisfying simplicity of the origin
al harmonl, ' was much' enjoyed
and was' repeated at the close of
the program.
The wide-spread Interest In
negro folk-lore as well as that of
all . nations, is reflected ' not only
in literature - but also In such
music as Ernest 43Iochks "Amer
ica," the new wprid symphony
of Dvorak and the shifting moods
of the quartet opus 96 which was
so adequately 'rendered.
! The atmosphere of the concert
was" that of eager music lovers
thirsting for the best In music.
Situated at such -a distance from
a. music center,, and knowing full
well the difficulties of presenting
such a concert, the genrotis hos
pitality of Col! ' and Mrs. Voor
hles was much appreciated.
' Mrs. Alta Naylor has been the
guest of Mrs. R W. Miles at her
cabin on the Rogue, at Edgewood
Park, during the past week. Mr.
Miles motored out to spend the
week-end. '

Wednesday SUUiy Club
K n Joy iSttidy of Japan.
Tho Wednesday Ktudy Club held
Its regular meeting at the library
Wednesday, October 16th.
The early history of Japan was
the subject of n most Interesting
paper by "Mrs. J. K. Lawrence.
All records of events. In Japan
before tho fifth century were
h ended down from one genera
Hon to another by orul tradition,
henco events of the period are
largely mythical. Tho Imperial
Dynasty extends beyond that of
any reigning house of Kurope
and Its reputed origin is traced
to the Hun Goddess. Her rhaptel
of Jewels, swords nnd mirror are
still tho Insignia of the Imperial
llouso of Japan.
Tho fifth to tho ninth century
was marked by n strong continen
tal Influence. China was, at that
time In a high stato of develop
ment and her civilization spread
through Kora Into Japan. . litit It
was through the Iluddlst religion
that Japan recelvod Its greatest
contribution of culture from Chlnn.
In 1683 nil commerce with oth
er nations was forbidden and no
Japanese was permitted to leave
the country, under pain of death.
Japan Isolated herself from for
eign nations for over two hundred
years. During this time, the
country prospered, wealth In
creased and literature was en
conrued . In 154 Commander
Perry succeeded In negot luting a
treaty with Japan hy which two
ports were opened . to foreign
commerce.
"Within fifty years," says Dryan,
In Japan from within, "she has
codlflpd her laws, Instituted mod
ern Judiciary, eliminated extra
territoriality, revised the foreign
treaties in her own fnvor, secured
national autonomy, defeated Chlnn
Kussla and Germany and taken
her seat among her aggressors as
an equal .In the supreme councils
of" tho world."
The ory of Ronald McDon
ald by livn Emery Dye was re
viewed hy Mrs. I n. Humphreys
In a very plenstng manner. The
fur trnders, pioneers nnd Dr. Mr
Laughltn served pi a background
and the review dwelt on McDun-
aid's interest In Jupan. Three
Japanese sailors rescued from a Kull to the brim by November 21
shipwreck, aroused in Itannld Mc-jthls cheat will bo one , of. the main''
Donald a great desire to knowj features of the annual bazaar" to
something of this 'Hermit Ka-1 bo held In the old Catholic church
tlon." Becoming a sailor on a building bri November 21, 22 and
whaling vessel, he later arrangt'd
to bo put adrift near tho coast of
Japan. His landing, treatment.
Imprisonment and ultimate re
lease furnish the interesting theme
for this part ofthe book, closing
with his return home nfter sail
ing the "Seven Seas."
Mrs. W. J. Warner concluded
tho program with an Instructive
article entitled "Whither America"
from "The Forum."

"Night of Ughl"
Celebration Monday.
October 21st Is almost nt hand.
Tho "Night of Light" will he
celebrated all over the world with
the most marvelous light festival
the world has ever known. The
whole world honoring n single man
a tribute that has never been
attempted before. Whether or not
It will occur again cannot he said,
but It is doubtful that any such
celebration In the future will have
as enthusiastic and spontaneous
backing as "Light's Golden Jubi
lee." At Doarborn, Mich., over 1,000
of the world's celebrities, include
Ing the president of the United
States, will attend n testimonial
dinner In honor of Edison. The
