The idea was conceived when women gathered for war work, fllrd]eg of their positions in life. ter the war the women organized to improve community conditions. Last Summer 3.000 women met in London, and every problem facing women, from better hygienic conditions among chil- dren to securing employment for hus- bands and themselves, was discussed.

The recital resolved itself into something ather more than that, for Mrs. Frost proved herself a brilliant pianist of command, whose tone and, above all, whose “ii ner voice” playing demonstrates indi. viduality the lesson she desires to convey. The array of composers in Mrs. Frost's prospectus led one to expect something out of routine. For here one finds Pizzetti, Milhaud and Prokofiev, though Master Bach heads the list.
