Last night I went to a nearby town and heard a concert by the London Symphony Orchestra, in the Cathedral The orchestra is really wonderful, much better than the London Symphony, which I heard at Albert Hall in London. It was even more effective, by reason of the surroundings. The Cathedral is one of the oldest in England, quite large and very impressive, although rather a polyglot of architectural periods. It is about the size of St. Patrick’s in New York, and not quite so large or as beautiful as St. John the Divine, but of course its antiquity ddds to its dignity and impressive atmosphere. It has a beautiful painted ceiling in the main nave, and the side aisles have 'groined arches of stone. The choir screen is of carved wood, very, intricate . and quite tall — about 40 feet I should say.

There are a lot of old stone buildings surrounding the Cathedral Close, the latter having beautiful lawns and gardens. It is the first visit I’ve made to the Cathedral, and I didn’t have much chance to inspect it—there were so many people around—around 2,500 or 3,000 I should say.. I rather expected that there would be a great deal of echo and reverberation, but the acoustics were perfect. The architect who built the place really knew what 4xe was about. When the conductor brought his baton down the music ceased and there wasn’t a hint of after-tone —a tribute both to the orchestra and the building. It seemed rather a novelty hearing an orchestra in a cathedral, but perhaps it has been done here before, the city possibly lacking an auditorium of any size. The audience did not applaud between numbers, due I, thought to respect for the church, but after the closing number a few people started and there was a tremendous accolade of applause, but it didn’t continue and drag on as it usually does at such concerts. I don’t believe that the orchestra, under the circum-

GOLDEN ROD It seems that Dame Meadow is somewhat akin To Milady—in what she does wear. Sometimes ’tis the whiteness of daisies She pins in her billowy hair. Then again her gay flowered costume Is a picture in lovely wildrose. Then later she adds frothy Queen Ann’s Lace, Yes. Dame Meadow is a lady of clothes! The orchid color of thistledown Is becoming to her dresses of green. She wears many colors, and all of them well For she’s always adorned like a Queen. And now she has planned a new costume e As new I believe as it is old, ’Tis a beautiful dress and I think you’ll agree That the color is the mellow yellow of gold! I think when you see her in her lovely new dress In all her fall finery—so grand You will see anew that our Golden Rod x Enhances God’s beautiful land! —Anna E. Young.

stances, would have minded had there been no applause at all. I wish I could always hear concerts in such surroundings—the great music of the masters seems even greater when heard in such a vast, awesome and beautiful building—a tribute to the architect of the house, and to the master architect who inspired and made possible both building and music. I believe Beethoven himself would feel honored hearing his music played there—with the sun streaming in the tall leaded glass windows, through the stone arches and colonades, softly tinted by the jewel-like coloring of the glass.

Girl Scouts Of America To Aid In Salvage Program Tin, Paper and Rags To Be Collected The Girl Scouts of America—nearly a million—will join the War Production Board’s drive for the salvage of tin, paper and rags on Oct. 1, WPB announced today. Past efforts of the nation’s Girl Scouts in the conservation and salvage campaigns drew the praise of Donald M. Nelson, WPB chairman, who urged them to intensify their search for paper, cans and rags. “More and more volunteers are needed to help in the salvage drive. Every tin can, every piece of paper, every rag will help in the war effort. Each 1,500 pounds of waste paper collected counts as a cord of Wood to supplement our diminished wood pulp supply. From every two tin cans collected, a soldier can be supplied with a syrette to assuage the pain of an injury. Every rag collected helps to relieve the shortage of wiping cloths in war plants.” -

EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS While sugar rationing isn’t the headache it used to be, Westinghouse home economists suggest these hints to make sugar go that much further: (1) Add sugar last in cooking dried fruits —it takes less; (2) Thoroughly dissolve sugar in beverages—obviously less is needed if you leave none in the bottom of the cup; (3) Serve ripe fruits whenever possible—they require little or no sugar at all. i ■ : THREE GATEWAYS These narrow gateways: Is it true? Then is it needful in your mind? Give truthful answer, and the last, And narrowest: “Is it kind?” Then if to meet your lips at last, It passes through these gateways three, Then you may tell the tale nor fear, What the results of speech may be. If you are tempted to reaveal, A tale to someone has told, About another make it pass Before you speak—three gates of gold.
