Turple Tatches s usic ISS CONGER gave a piano recital in the studio on the evening of March twenty-Hrst. She played so beautifully, and her program was such a lovely one! It seems incredible that so tiny a person can produce such depth and strength of tone. We clapped for encore after encore, and enjoyed each more than the previous one. The rhythm of the waltz by Emily Liebling, with which she closed her encores, was bewitching, and we danced mentally if not physically all the way up to bed. PROGRAM 1.

MENDELSSOHN Capriccio Brillante Orchestral accompaniment played by Mrs. Harcum HE most interesting event of Alumnae week-end, at least for the music pupils, was the recital given by some of Harcum's earlier music students on Sunday afternoon. We were proud in the realization that these accomplished musicians had had their earlier training at Harcum, and were thrilled and inspired by their splendid musicianship. Marion Slingluff Brinton or Sling as she used to be called, received the Harcum prize when she graduated. She then entered the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and graduated there, afterwards studying with Cortot. She is now studying again at Harcum with George Boyle. Eleanor Clark studied music at Harcum for seven years. She worked under Philippe in Paris for two years, and is now studying 11

Tnrple Tatclzes My fourth hero was my Father-my very own Father. He kept people from bleeding to death. He gave remarkable medicine, a positive cure-all-and his calm in time of death was stupendous. Not only that, but Father knew all the presidents of the United States and their dates and Father knew everyone! , My fifth hero was Mr. Roosevelt who rode a wild horse, shot bears in Africa, and who gave a magnanimous speech in our town. Why, every flag was hanging out, everyone was excited, thousands and thou- sands of people came to see him. Maybe he was God! My sixth hero was a snaky villain with the face of an innocent nature lover. From afar I worshiped his foot prints and I whispered his name at night. He was a friend of my brother's and the type of man that only a mother could love, I discovered later. To me in my adolescence he was the only man on earth, and I was sure some day we should marry. Who can tell-maybe I still think so! But as the gold dust twins said Lux against us. J. M. S.

Turple Tatches with George Boyle. Last year at Commencement, the Eleanor Clark prize for best musicianship was won by Elinor Reed. This year Elinor is studying at the New England Conservatory with Madame Szumowski. Duer Councill who was at Harcum for four years is now studying with Horace Alwyne. Muriel Hodge who also studied for four years at Harcum is now at the Curtis Institute. She is taking work in compo- sition with Scalero. Sally Horner graduated from Harcum and studied voice with Philip Warren Cooke while she was here. She has been working this winter in Pittsburgh with Whiteley. Betty Snowden graduated here in music and after a year away at school is again at Harcum with George Boyle. Virginia Straley graduated in music two years ago and is now studying with Ernest Hutcheson in New York. The close of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra concerts brought with it a thrilling consciousness of having heard the loveliest music that man can make for an entire winter, but an inevitable feeling of regret that we shall hear no more until next fall. Stokowski tells us that his leave of absence is for a period of a year and a half. We shall miss him very much indeed but hope that his dream of a temple of music will be nearer realization when he comes back to us. MARY LoU1sE CHAMBERLAIN.
