President's Greeting
There is no courtesy which the President of the College enjoys more than the annual invitation to write a Greeting for the first issue of the Pine Branch. Frankly, he is proud of the Pine Branch as one of the student activities of the college. In business administration, in literary quality and in artistic appearance, it has been a delightful and worthy representative of the college life. As the college has ever held before the young womanhood of the State the highest ideals of honor and character and distinctive attainment, so has the Pine Branch always stood for the highest standards of student journalism--bright, fine, clean-cut, distinctive. May this year see a new high record made in every phase of its work.

THAT SITUATION BUSINESS
sl^ua^19ns,,, began June Rogers, an attractive young girl of a certain fashionable college in the southern part of the Empire State of the South, on opening her psychology one warm afternoon, "create other perplexing situations in the adjustment of the same. That is, so arranging the dif ficulties that pleasant, economical, useful results--
"Pshaw, that's all nonsense!" she declared irritably as she threw down the book and settled herself more comfort ably on the divan. "I'll not even read the next sentence. Land knows, I hate to study, and after I'm so good to my self as to put all my personal feelings aside, then opening the book to be met by such as that--well, it's plain aggra vating." She finished rather angrily, her blue eyes flashing and her forehead wrinkled in perplexity. She was not an noyed at the meaning of the sentence so much as with the very idea that she should be burdened with such things.
"Why any one knows," she went on, "that I'm never to be in a situation like that, or fix rather; that word `situation' bothers me, seems, like something is closing about my very body. Oh, I hate it!" and as though emphasizing the fact, she threw the book across the room.
Hate what, dear one?" asked her roommate entering in time to hear the exclamation and to witness the rather furious act following. "Has any one bothered you? Tell me all about it. Those windows to your soul seem clouded and that mass of golden, bobbed tresses is so unmerci fully ^ tousled. Besides, look at your forehead, my dear I see three more wren's feet marked plainly on that creamy mound. Really, dear, you seem in quite a perplexing situa tion if I may put it that way." She finished teasingly as she sat down beside June, at the same time smoothing the wrinkled forehead and dropping a loving kiss on the tousled

"Besides, Ann, you know yourself, there isn t a thing to it. How absurdly silly! But then here you come_accusing me of being in just that state. What on earth does it all mean?" She went on as she powdered her nose and ruth lessly brushed the disheveled tresses, her soft blue eyes be coming all the more troubled. " `Coming events cast their shadows before,'" she quoted mockingly, "and it seems my scatter-brain mind is following the least provocation, but
"Oh you perfect dear," interrupted Ann, "here, let s forget it all in a lively fox trot, and see how quickly those shadows will be driven away by `The Sunshine of Your Smile'," end ing with a few measures from this cheerful tune as she placed a record on the Edison, at the same time throwing her arm about June's waist. They enjoyed the dance con siderably and the spirits of both reached the climax when, by some prank of Fate, Ann's foot caught in the edge of the rug, which in her hurry she had shoved under the bed; this caused both to fall in a heap. In their glee they rolled off on the floor. Shrieks of laughter followed; no one would have guessed that just a few moments before gloom had reigned supreme in the heart of this rollicking blue-eyed
"Look," cried June, "isn't that a letter under the bed? Wait! Yes, and it's Dan's stationery! How could that have happened? I thought if ever I did read anything it was my mail. I declare this makes me mad! Ann--" and she might have said much more if she had known that it came there through the carelessness of the maid, who in throw ing down the rug fanned the important missive under the bed. The wind, perhaps, having blown the letter off the dresser where doubtless the matron had placed it on the day of its arrival.
"Hold on, girl, you're sticking a pin clear through my finger! You needn't break your neck getting to it, it's stale by now any way," cried Ann as June scrambled over her and under the bed.
"Do pardon me, dear one," breathlessly answered June as she crawled out feet first, "I forgot about you in my excitement and--oh, look here--"

down the hall, leaving June glaring at the door which

banged loudly after Ann's retreating form, and wondering if Ann was truly hateful or only aggravating in abruptly

leaving thus. She quickly changed her mind when her

room-mate burst into the room with a directory. "Oh you perfectly ready-to-fly angel!" cried June as she

clasped her friend about the neck; and with heads close

together they eagerly perused the lines. "Mar--mail--mal--mas,--Ann, look there, Mai--mas,

to the phone and calling as she talked to her companion: "7-5-9 please, quick!---Yes, 7-5-9. June, you were reading too fast. Hello, yes, I said plainly 7-5-9. Child, itJs seven o'clock now, you simply must hurry. You know one or the other will come and you can't be seen by anyone in that garb. Hello--Hello--Your hose are in that top drawer. Yes, hello, is this Ralph? Oh, beg pardon, then is Mr. Red ding in? Gone up town--How is that--to be back at seven? Well, tell him to call 509 please, immediately on his return. Get the number, 5-0-9.
"Now, don't faint, fair one. Just make the best of it," cautioned Ann, as she turned from the phone to meet the dejected expression on June's face. "Why haven't you put on your blue blouse and sport shirt? You know you'll go to ride with one or the other--maybe both, so cheer up ! Don't you wish you were like me ? Believe me, I don't have to worry my brain sick over getting one boy out of the way so another can come," she finished briskly as she threw the skirt over June's head, the latter having apparently given way to her pal to get things straight.
`Well, I declare," she replied languidly, "this afternoon has simply been unbearable, Ann dear, you know perfectly well how I hate being bored and if it weren't for the fact that I want to see Dan so badly I'd go straight to bed and send for an aspirin, for my head is simply splitting."
I guess you would, but you will feel better; hurry! Put on your belt, and here is a fresh handkerchief. You hate to miss seeing either of them so badly, and you have to get one or the other out of the way, so I'm afraid in the act you will be hurt yourself and perhaps may need this sympa thetic article," joked Ann, who always enjoyed perplexity and suspense. Truly she had enjoyed the episode and was quite anxious to see its outcome.
`There you go teasing again when I'm so worried, but I wer get out of this, mark my words, I'll be more
careful! said June nervously. "Tap, Tap." "Come in."
"Is Miss Lunsford in ?" inquired a girl sticking her hea( in the door. Gee, there's the best looking man down stairs I declare he s so handsome, and said tell you Dan was wait

"All right, thanks! Tell him she's coming right down; he'll understand," answered June rather harshly, as she vigorously dabbed rouge on her already cherry-red cheeks.
"Say girl, for goodness' sake stop! You look like a blusn-

ing rose now!" cried Ann. "Oh, there's the phone; perhaps

it's Ralph--here you answer." "Give it here. Hello, Ralph ?--Yes--What, wait a minute

----- Ralph, Ralph. Hello Ralph!--My goodness, he's gone,

Ann! Said he'd be right over. What shall I do? Tell me

"Why go on down, nut, that s all I can say. Try to en

tertain them both somehow. Perhaps Ralph may have tire

trouble. At least go on down," commanded Ann. In the parlor down stairs a tall, well-built, brown-eyed

youth was walking the floor impatiently waiting the foot

steps of June, who was heedlessly blundering down the stair

way, at every movement expecting to see Ralph coming up

the drive, which was plainly visible from the central door.

"What shall I do?" she pondered excitedly. "If I go in there and Ralph comes I can't explain; and if I wait here in the hall Dan may come out any minute to send some one

for me again. I'll risk him, however. I must wait here

and send Ralph home for some reason. I simply must see

Dan alone, and he'd.never understand why I had another

date, for he wrote me last week. No, I guess I must go

on in, for it sounds like he is coming this way; any way, I

don't see Ralph coming." She again changed her mind,

however, for as she reached the foot of the stair she heard

Dan's steady tread, which she took to be a start to enter

the hall. "Situation? I'll say it is! I wish I had Ann here to tell

me what to do. My goodness, yonder comes Ralph, and 1

know Dan is coming out that door this instant. Heaven

help me!" "Hello girlie! I know you'll never understand, but--er,"
gasped Ralph, bounding up the steps and in the door in a

second. "But er--it's this way, you see, the tire" ( pause for breath again) "stopped and the engine blew out," he

blundered, "and see, that's why I'm late. Please try to un

derstand." "Why, Ralph, you know I'm not unreasonable. I'll gladly

excuse you if you explain right quickly," replied June, who

decided the best thing to do was just listen to him, then

MOON-LORE
When the moon is a slender young maiden She laughs with her amber eyes,
At flocks of silly young lovers And asks no troublesome whys.
When the moon is a middle-aged woman, Sedate and full and round,
She peers at silly young lovers With a disapproving frown. When the moon is waning, fading
Thin and shriveled and old, She dreams of love and laughter
And silly young lovers bold. E. K. B.

An owl hooted; the air was black with flying figures; the
cows knelt and prayed, and though it seems very vague to me, I have been told that the pumpkins on the place tnat night turned on their stems and produced a ghostly gnn which was still visible the next morning to a close observer. It was hallowe'en in nineteen hundred six, and I had just made my appearance in this funny old world. As I chose the night of the Faerie Folk to make my debut, they were so good as to act as my god-mothers. But of this vast realm of strange figures and creatures, only the personalities ot the witches were strong and weird enough to cast a per manent impression or spell. They filled my small being that night with a consuming desire, that has followed alter their own main characteristics, and that has always been
associated with their persons. Traveling! As they loved it, and indulged in it every
Hallowe'en night, as that was my birtuday, they passed the love of it on to me. This desire which those blackhooded figures embedded in me, and a yearning to satisfy this desire has always been with me since that long ago Hallowe'en night, and has influenced greatly my whole life
span of seventeen years. My first experience of this character happened when I
was two years old. I had just learned the art of locomo tion, and with this new gift to experiment with, I ventured out of our yard, made my painstaking way to the barn lot, and was bound to a distant green field which loomed up on the horizon a hundred yards away. But a nervous old goose saw otherwise. Afraid, perhaps, that my stubby toes would harm her little yellow balls of fluff, she deemed it wise to fly at my guilty legs, and peck my heels. She pecked, and I swiftly decided to abandon my first intention and to leave the field to old goosey. She pecked again and then my vocal cords awoke and I went hurriedly back over the path to my mother and safety.
My desire to see new and other things was constantly fed, and in the journeys which I took seated behind my father on his horse, I became gradually familiar with the distant outlying farms, the negro quarters and the river which bounds our plantation. Until I was five years old, the faithful old horse carried me over many romantic jour-

neys, which only stimulated, and made future traveling more colorful to look forward to.

After five happy years at home, the great task of getting

an education began. In this process I was to find the places

to travel to, understand foreign people, their customs, the

things which would make traveling a greater joy; in short, to fit me and prepare me for the thing I hoped to indulge

greatly in in the future. It would seem that the object of

this preparation, or traveling itself, would be in the back

ground; a thing spoken about, but never practiced in these busy years.

But it so happened during these schools days, that I did

travel, and not along one solitary path, but along two. The

road of learning, and the road which led from our home to

the college. The former developed my imagination, and my

talents; the latter gave me daily experience and glimpses

of human life. My arrival at school each day was always

preceded by the trips to town on the train, and the con

cluding mile from town to the college on the street car.

True this extent of traveling did not satisfy my dreams of

ideal traveling, but it did keep the instincts fresh, and gave

me a tiny taste of the real joy that could be devised from tramping the earth.

So from the wave of the wands of the witches, traveling

has been always my ambition. Each year, though it

brought always new problems and tasks, gave also a chance

to dig farther into the probable pleasure of future travel ing. Though the past twelve years have been spent with

lessons, these have only been stepping-stones for traveling

with a greater enjoyment, and a more appreciative spirit than would have been possible otherwise.

It has not been thought wise by the overruling destinies

to grant my desire for travel, and I am still at a desk, with

lessons to prepare. But,, perhaps, in the future with the

preparation .1 am now patiently making, the ambition which

has gone with me through my youthful career will mate-

nalize Perhaps the Faerie Folk will again lend their weird

presence; again will the resources of the witches be limit

less, and their accomplishments the most powerful, so that my traveling, though swift, will be not on one of their

famed black broomsticks, but in a modern plane. Though a

buzz of a propeller may invade my musings, the blue air,

and the high view will be the same as that enjoyed by the hooded spell casters on each Hallowe'en night.

HOME-SICK
The hills axe high and the air is free And the wind is clean and strong,
But I long for the sand and the sounding sea And the singing pines' sad song.
O the hills are mighty, the hills are grand And always misted with blue,
But friendly and clinging and warm is the sand With golden lights gleaming through.
The hills are high and they choke me With arms that are green and long,
So it's home to the sands and sounding sea And the singing pines' sad song. E. K. B.

MY DESIRE
setting sun was casting its level beams through the windows into the sun-parlor, making the individual pieces oi old wicker furmture suggest to the little child's mind various and mysterious shapes. They were casting those peculiar shadows which to an adult have no particular mean ing; but to children, with their strong imaginations, assume many fairy-hke forms.
Nature had not slighted me with this same strong imagination. I sat there in the twilight half frightened at these shapes, but still full of energy and enthusiasm over each individual that composed the pupils of my paper doll school m one corner of the room. A strong whizzing and a sudden upsetting of my whole class room brought me suddenly frightened to my feet--only to find that I was being at tacked by that mischievous rascal, Jimmy, my brother, who had a pocket full of rubber bands and crooked pins. I quickly called mother, and this violent savage was soon locked in the closet.
The next day was excessively warm for a day in October. I sought refuge in the back yard in a corner made by the house. I thought everything would be quiet and peaceful. X then opened a cracker box and took from it several pieces of different colored glass, which I stuck up in the ground and arranged in the order of a class room. Then I began teaching--my daily occupation.
No sooner had I started than a glance down the street revealed that boresome little Lucy Langston, intending to make a morning call. Oh! why should she come at such an hour. Why couldn't she visit her cousin living up the street a piece? I did not like companions any-way. They wanted to talk too much and never enjoyed playing paper dolls. Quickly I arose and ran into the house, finally con ceding myself under the bed. In a moment the bell rang and I waited expecting mother's announcement, but in vain. She did not call. Impatiently I waited about fifteen minutes*
Ynt and in(luired into the matter. I was informed that the delivery boy from the dry goods store had just brought a package, and that Lucy had walked down the street. How foolish I had been! I would now have really been glad to see Lucy and hoped that she had not seen me

teaching. But somehow that selfish desire of wanting to be alone was waning. Every house in the neighborhood either sheltered a boy or a girl, or both, or several, about
the high school age, who had brought to birth a new desire to have friends and to be somewhat popular. In fag. th^e was hardly a morning that one or two of the girls, and sometimes just about all of them, did not come over and sit

At this age, that same mischievous brother of mine had

taken such an interest in church affairs as he had not

had before (or since), and I began to have fear of his

coming a preacher. He began the urgent request that on

Sunday I should attend Sunday school and church in the

morning and the Young People's Union and church in the

evening. With the aid of mother he Anally persuaded me.

I found that it was not so boresome as I Arst thought. In

a week the Young People's Union gave a social to winch

most of the boys and girls of the neighborhood were invited.

Two years later found me teaching a Sunday school class

of Ave-year-old chUdren. How different they were from

paper dolls! They had souls which responded to my efforts.

I found myself happier than I had ever been when I was

alone, and enjoyed social intercourse with my friends.

And so my lot was cast. I graduated from high in June

and immediately planned a normal course at the good old

Ancestor Worship in America
The vacant seat at the peace table in Geneva" is not a curious abnormality, as forty-two nations seem to think; nor is its vacancy entirely due to the elephantine antics of a political party, but to a certain national instinct, which, for lack of a better name, may be termed the instinct of and capacity for ancestor worship. The average American, who sneers loudest and laughs longest over the heathen Chinee's blind adoration of the venerable ashes of his dead and departed relatives, is the first man to shout in the face of progress, "It was good for mother and father and it's good enough for me."
How many intelligent men and women are able to give a logical reply in answer to the question, "Why are you a Methodist or Baptist?" as the case may be. Speaking in averages, about two out of fifty have battled with the "Ev erlasting No," have drifted stolidly through the "Center of Indifference" and emerged triumphantly with the "Ever lasting Yes." The answer from the remaining forty-eight will be something like this: "Surely you know that all of my people have always been Presbyterians" or Episcopa lians.
The same illogical principle carries over into the political life of the nation as a whole. One man is a Republican, not because he advocates a protective tariff, but because his father always voted a Republican ticket. The next man is a Democrat because his great-grandfather was, at one time in his varied career, junior (and Democratic) senator from Georgia--not because of any true desire for a "tariff for revenue only" or other Democratic ideal.
According to popular opinion, "the land of the free and home of the brave" is supposed to be a land free from deadening distinctions of class. Just how true is the pop ular supposition? One sees "First Families" on every hand and hears such statements as these every day:
"Why she's one of the Virginia Davis' from King Edward county;" "I am a Calhoun from Charleston, suh!"; "my grandfather came over on the Mayflower"--"Really? So did my uncle's step-sister;" or "Oh, yes, a Boston Cabot." 'Tis no wonder the satirist sings:
Fifteen

THE PINE BRANCH

"Then here's to Massachusetts, The land of the bean and-the cod, Where the Eliots speak only to the Cabots And the Cabots speak only to God."

Is then, the "vacant seat at Geneva" vacant because of

the conservative American's vast and Chinese-hke respec

for the splendid accomphshments of one of our late la

mented forebears?--meaning, in this particular case, noth

ing other than the policy of isolation adroitly inserted into

the pride-kit of the average man by Monroe and Washing

ton a hundred years ago.

. ,,,,

But tempus fugit, in spite of our most determined efforts,

and this venerable fetish has become a trifle frayed near

the ends from constant use by over-cautious politicians.

The time seems to be ripe for America to lay her frayed

fetish in the friendly dust of the shelf which harbors other

dear but worn traditions, and take her rightful place by

the side of England and France around the peace table. Her

enviable position of "splendid isolation" is about to be aban

doned, for the great national instinct of ancestor worship

is at work, enshrining a new idol. Conservative America

is discovering a fact long recognized by her sister nations--

that she has a new ideal to add to her list, other and more

venerable ashes to worship--those of the late Mr. Woodrow

Wilson. The man who according to international critics,

wrote one of the most memorable creative documents of all

history, the document creating the League of Nations and

providing for a World Court. The man who "reverenced

his conscience as his king; whose glory was, redressing hu

man wrong;" the man of whom Tennyson wrote, with pro

phetic vision, in 1815:

"For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would
be. Till the war-drum thrilled no longer and the battle-flags
were furl'd In the Parliament of Man, the Federation of the World."

When the average man really discovers all the wonder of

this latest idol, will there be a "vacant seat at the peace

table at Geneva?"

My First Love--The Water
Wheri,W^S,a me^e scraP of humanity splashing around in my little tub on the bath-room floor, I discovered that I loved the water. I learned to swim almost as soon as I learned to talk, and I guess I will never forget how to do eimer.
With the same thrill that I imagine a little minnow leaves its puddle for the big creek, I left my inland home when I was three years old for a trip to the ocean. Of course, I was ready to go into the water before the rest were, so I slipped away from my nurse. I was doing my best to swallow the ocean when daddy fished me out and took me home, much to my disgust. I have been going to the sea shore ever since, and these visits are an ever-increasing source of delight to me.
Last year when I made my trip to my first love, the ocean there was a speed boat at the docks; and more than anything else in the world I wanted to ride in it. Luck came my way one day. My wish was gratified. It was ab solutely glorious to cut through the water at fifty miles an hour and feel the tingling spray in my face.
But all the fun of the water is not in swimming and boatnding. . Another interesting pastime is the sport of deep sea fishing. There is all the difference in the world between salt water fishing and fresh water fishing. There is an expectant thrill sitting in a boat with a hook far below in the shadows. There is a sudden jerk, a frantic pull, and up from the briny deep flashes a beautiful black bass. You can never imagine the thrill of this until you have expe rienced it.
But not all of the thrill and joy is with salt water. If Valdosta were noted for nothing else, it would still have its lakes to boast of. On some days the wind on the lakes is strong enough to sail a boat. Last summer we rigged up a sail for our rowboat and when those snappy days came we went to ride on the lake. It is lots of fun to go sailing, because there was always a chance of the wind's turning the boat over. It has never happened to us and probably never will, but there is always a possibility.
I have taken all this time to tell how I love water, but

EDITORIAL
There is a jingle about an old woman who lived in a shoe, who had so many children that she did not know what to do. The Georgia State Woman's College is this year in just such a predicament--it has so many children that it does not know what to do.
Unfortunately, the solution of the problem concerning the college is not so simple as the solution of the old woman's problem. We are told in the latter case that she gave them all broth without any bread, whipped them all soundly, and sent them to bed. How simple is such a so lution !
Obviously, such a one is impossible for the college, how ever. Such negative measures could never be used i some positive remedy has to be found.
On the face of it, the simplest and best solution which immediately occurs to every one is, ^Increase your room." This solution, however, is not so simple as its sounds. To will to do and to do are two very different matters--other things besides the will to grow are necessary for the en largement of a school plant.
This suggested solution failing, almost immediately there is another, not so good as the first, offered, "Limit the num ber of girls to fit your present capacity."
To the administration of the college this has seemed to be the best solution of its problem under present conditions. With buildings filled to their utmost capacity, dormitories full, and classrooms and laboratories overflowing, a process for limiting the number of girls who enter has been con ceived. No longer is every girl who can present a fair rec ord of scholarship and deportment admitted. The stand ards of admission, always high, are being raised higher and higher, and the president of the college is using this time, impossible for growth in quantity, for a still further growth

in quality. It is possible in this manner to make even a period of temporary paralysis of physical growth helpful

to the college.

. ,, , ,

It is to be hoped that when the college is enabled to go

ahead and increase its plant to meet the demands of the

girls who ask admission, this temporary paralysis may

prove after all beneficial, and we may see that the plan

conceived by the president of the college is much to be pre ferred to the old woman's plan. After all, her solution,

while simple, was also temporary; in all probability the

same problem had to be solved next day. On the other hand, we may reasonably expect that the

plan of the president will mark a period of actual permanent

improvement in the history of this college which has from

the beginning held its standards as high as the highest in

the State, and that the refining process, which takes so

many years in most new colleges, may be accomplished here

within a very short time.

Y. W. C A.
Perhaps the happiest time one has in school life is the return after a summer's vacation--at least all Y. W cabi net members will tell you it's great fun to come back early to a cabinet house party. Such a happy and jolly reunion as we had that week-end! Everybody was almost bubbling over with pep to start the plans the cabinet members were working on for the year.
To driv away the blues and the home-sickness of the first few days at school, everyone was invited out on the campus after supper. Here we played games, became ac quainted with each other as quickly as possible and sang the j oiliest songs ever.
The annual hike, which always ends at Dr. Powell's home, was interfered with by rain. However, a little rain could not prevent our having a good time, so we stayed at the college and were entertained most delightfully with an au tomobile party, which consisted of auto races, relays, con tests and all sorts of games.
We had the privilege and pleasure of entertaining Miss Harriet Hitchcock in our college home for several days this fall. She is a member of the National Division of Fi nance of the Y. W. C. A and she helped us very much in deed with our budget as well as by giving us other helpful suggestions.
The World Aifairs Club held its first meeting on October 15th. Mr. Wood gave a most interesting talk on World Peace.
The purpose of this club is to arouse an interest among the students in studying the big problems facing the world today.

SOCIETY NOTES

ARGONIAN SOCIETY NEWS

On Saturday, October 4th, the Argonian Literary Society

held its regular program meeting. The program was espec ially interesting to us as Southern girls because it dealt witn

the art and literature of our own part of the country, me

program was as follows: 1? Appreciation of Southern Arts--A paper written by

Miss Evelyn McArthur, read by Miss Grace Buie.

.

2. Swanee River--A dance given by Miss Katie Herrin.

,,

A short business meeting of the Argoman Literary So

ciety was held October 8th. As a preliminary to other

business a debate was held. The subject was: Resolved, That the study of The Appreciation of South

ern Arts would be more beneficial to our society than the

study of American Arts. The affirmative side of the question was upheld by Misses

N. Alexander and H. Bruce. On the negative side were

Misses R. Corrin and E. M. White. The judges decided

in favor of the affirmative.

SORORIAN LITERARY SOCIETY
The initial meeting of the Sororian Literary Society was held Saturday evening, Sept. 29th. The society was very much pleased with an addition of one hundred new pledged members. After the address of welcome by the president, Miss Faries, the following program was rendered:

blood. Why Become a Sororian--Margaret La Far. Modem Literature is our subject for the first sem

friction as possible. Three meetings were held, at which

principles of student government were

studied, discussed and illustrated. At the last meeting a

written examination was given to those entering, for the

first time, the college department. Very gratifying results

were secured, as the papers manifested an intensely loyal and enthusiastic spirit. The association is glad to include such promising members.

FACULTY RECEPTION
On Saturday evening, September 27, the faculty of G. S. W. C. entertained the student body with a reception. Quite a number of proms" were enjoyed, during which beautiful strains of music were heard in the "Y" room, where the orchestra was placed.
