THE HEYDAY OF AMAZONS In these days when it is no longer uncommon to read of a man as the Ihusband of his wife, it is a little un- usual to find anyone who has the cour- age to say that the present-day liberty of woman has never equalled that which she enjoyed in the ancient days. Yet, that is just exactly what Rev. Alexander J. Carlyle, Litt. D., lecturer in politics and economics in University college and Lincoln college, Oxford, said to a group of students and pro- fessional men in Boston a few nights' ago, according to the Boston Eve- ning Transcript. He explains himself by. referring to the seventh century when Romanj Stoics were expressing the new idea of liberty, and, that almost simultan- eously their contemporaries, the Ro- man lawyers, were freeing the slave, the child, and the woman from the bonds that held them to their masters. Dr. Carlyle hold his audience that "it was probable that woman had not been so completely emancipated in modern days as she was between the first and fifth centuries of the present era, when the great transition from convention to liberty may clearly be traced.".. What the noted scholar ex- actly means by this is a bit hard to determine unless one goes further In- to his doctrine of liberty as he ex- pressed it in this same speech, to the effect that "it never existed in full and never will." In hisrevelations of the past ages, it is a noticeable fact that he neglected to mention King Solomon, who has never recorded as being known by the name of anyone of his thousand wives. Nor did Dr. Carlyle mention Henry the Eighth,rthe terrible "bluebeard" of history and the many others whom he typifies, in an exaggerated manner to be sure. Nor is it absolutely neces- sary to delve into the archives of the oldest of ancient history to find male despots ruling with the iron hand over their harems. That thesegood old days are gone forever may be evidenced on all sides in our modern American woman who has a career of her own, wields the same political power and has the same political rights as her husband, and, in a few' cases, has been known to force the man shetmarries to take her name. No, though the Idea is an admir- able one, a considerable reversion to the past would be necessary to make! it come true. The Prince is gone -there must now be a wild scramble for features to fill up the metropolitan papers. Please do not take away our Northern Lights, Mr. Steffansson.

He will practically repeat the program presented last year with such success at the dedication of the new Murphy organ. The only variation will be the group of solo pieces by Mr. Christian, which will include the Bach Tocatta in C, the Benediction of Karg-Elert, and Sportive Fauns by d'Antaiffy. The opening number of the concert will be the Prelude to Wagner's "Die Meistersingers" by the orchestra, and the second half of the program will be devoted to Saint-Saen's magnificent Symphony in C minor for organ, piano, and full orchestra. 41 GRAHAM W 2I-oth Ends of th~e Diagonal Walk .............issss.r.u ni rr .. .i............. :. c. :4 , .:. ...: doing now, do ya? ,ELMER: Harold Stour?

O....CO.............. r........ ............... _OC TOB E R, 1 92 4__ MRS. IAIER'S PROGRAM I Mrs. Maier is opening the Faculty Concert this afternoon with Percy Grainger's familiar Irish Tune from County Derry. The theme is a richly lyric folk song, filled with a wistful, persistent melancholy. The basic tune surges and retards through the work, quite in contrast to Grainger's usual i pop-gun style. The Bach Italian concerto, in con- trast, represents the composer's most florid, technical style. It is the kind of niece an artist is never certain of,i and even the greatest have been known to make memory blunders over it. ,Ganz's "The Pensive Spinner" and the famous Mendelssohn-Liszt "On Wings of Song" are highly classical - mould, the one with the conventional, maddening whir of the wheel in th right hand and the melody in the bass, the other with its poetic- "grandeur" is the customary word. The next group, to become definitely modern, consists of Cervantes' five Cuban miniatures. Lasting only about a minute each, they catch all but suc- cessfully the fickle theatric moods of the southern temperament: jeal- ously, a puppet-like funeral, curiosity, and finally two wild syncopated danzas. Finally, Mrs. Maier will play the popular Chopin Ballade in A flat. It is gigantic,rcollosal-whatever you will-and firmly satisfying to both the pianist and audience; it is a gesture in the grand manner, heroic, solemn and gorgeous. MR. WARING'S LITTLE BAND A review, by Valentine Davies. Tom Waring's Pennsylvanians, who performed at the Majestic this past week are not nearly what they should be. They have quarts of pep and have certainly achieved much by way of race, but they do not come up to what one may expect from a first class or. chestra.
