LECTURES TODAY I ON ORCHESTRAS Paul E. Beck Speaks Before Wednesday Club Prepara tory to Concert "Most people listen to the music of a symphony orchestra as an in fant gazes at a bright object—in a state of beatific coma." quoted Paul E. Beck, State Supervisor of Public School Music, In his lecture before the Wednesday Club in Fahnestock Hall this afternoon. Mr. Beck, who spoke on "The Mechanism and Dynamic Construe- , tion of the Modern Symphony Or chestra." said that the average per son listening to a symphony orches tra hears but a mass of sound, be coming more and more entranced by its benuty, but not truly appre ciating the performance as he would had he some knowledge of the mechanism of the organization. The lecture did not in any way touch upon the analysis of music, but dealt Instead with the Instru mentation and the wonderful man ner in which the great modern com posers have used the orchestra as a painter uses his colors, bringing out in magic tones the deep pur ples, dark browns, and vivid reds so that we can literally hear them throbbing through their master pieces. In direct contrast, the early writers were colorless, using one quality of tone. The lecture was beautifully illus- : trated with slides made from photo graphs presented to Mr. Beck by members of the Philadelphia, New York and Chicago Symphony Or chestras. Among the most interest ing of the group were the pictures of the orchestras themselves. One showed the Philadelphia Orchestra as it appeared In connection with the great chorus of 400 voices upon the occasion when Gustave Mahler's Eighth Symphony was produced for the first time in America in 1917. The Inst slide showed a portrait of Leopold Stokowski. conductor of'i the Philadelphia Symphony Orches tra. nlade from a recent painting by Leopold Seyffert. M'ss Martha Snavety, president of the Wednesday Club, presented Mr. Beck to an audience comprised of club members and their friends who heard the lecture preparatory to the concert to-night. Miss Martha Baynes and Miss Edith F. Baynes. of Wilmington, Del., are in the city for a short stay, looking up old friends. Carlos M.

Health of the State, passed the fol- ' lowing resolutions: "We recognize tuberculosis as a ; menace to our rural communities. Recent publication of 12,885 as the number of people in Pennsylvania who succumbed in 1916 to the white plague (a larger number than in any previous year except in 1906 and 1907, reveals that this State along with the war-stricken countries of Europe is giving an increased toll of human lives because of the pri vations of the war period. The statement of Colonel Edward Mar tin, State Commissioner of Health, that fully as many are dyi lg this year of consumption shoulu mean widespread civilian efforts in aiding the State combat this scourge. "Resolved, therefore, That the Pennsylvania Stato Grange, in an nual session at Pittsburgh, regards as highly important to the welfare of the State the work being carried on by the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis and most strongly urges that the farm ers of Pennsylvania give every pos sible aid to the intensive work being started to end this plague in this generation. One way in which ever* person ca nasslst is by buying Chirstmas Seals and Health Bonds, which finances the citizen tight against tuberculosis."

Harrisburg Banana-Fruit Co. 1 209-211 Chestnut St. DECEMBER 10, 1919. rf^iyit§! NATURALLY my one * thought these days Is to seurch for gifts the thing in which everyone is most Interested. It goes without saying that I find many lovely ones, particularly at the Saltzgiver Art and Antique Store, 223 North Becond street. Yesterday, for instance, I discovered a distinctive wrought iron lamp with attractive parchment shade. Od<\ly shaped, yet well-balanced and graceful, it would make an ideal gift. Then, too, in one of the windows of the store, there is a most artistic aquar ium of Tiffany glass and wrought iron. As a table aquarium—one of the latest fads—it could not be ex celled. IS there anything more attractive than a beautifully trimmed Christmas tree? And is there anything that adds more to its effectiveness than a myriad of sparkling, gleaming electric lights? The candles of olden days have been supplanted by this safer, newer method of illumination, and as drab, little Cinderella, by the touch of a wand, was transformed into a shimmering, glimmering beauty, so the dull little tree, at the turn of a switch, suddenly blazes forth in splendor. If by any chance you have neglected this important decorative feature in the years that have passed, don't fail to add it this Christmas season. At the Dauphin Electrical Supplies Co., 434 Market street, you will find a complete lighting outfit for your tree. MANY men who work in the open find buckle arctics abso lutely indispensable during the winter months. In fact, with out them they would suffer from continually wet feet. But despite the fact that they are a great pro tection they, in themselves, are not enough. No, in order to keep the feet from freezing, warm sheep lined shoes or snug felt ones should be worn inside. Only the man who spends his days out-of-doors can appreciate the relief they brinp. Oftimes it is hard to find them but the Army and. Navy Shoe Store, Court street, is showing a complete line.

THE Christmas season will be one gay round of parties and dances this year. Already invitations have beer? issued for many brilliant social events and every debutant , as well as her older sister, will need at least one new evening gown. At the Cloos Shop there are many stun ning ones to choose from in shades of blue, orchid, Liberty red and also of black. There is one of beauti fully brocaded Pekin blue satin over silver lace with filmy tulle sash. Ther? there is a dream of black lace net with blue ostrich trimming and narrow ribbon of blue and rose as well as a marvelous creation of chiffon velvet in turquoise blue with long ropes of chenille trimming | veiling the skirt. EACH year there is a small for tune spent for gifts that aje not at all acceptable. Of courae the spirit in which they are given is appreciated, but the objects themselves are often useless and soon discarded. Naturally while we are giving gifts we prefer to give those that will be cherished. But just what to choose particularly for our out-of-town friends whom we haven't seen for years—is a most difficult matter to decide. There is orre thing, however, sure to please all our friends, and that is our photograph, when taken by an artist like Roshon, the Market street photographer. No gift could be half so appropriate for the far-away friend who sees us only infrequently, after long lapses of time.
