ITALIAN AMERICAN SINGS IN THE CITY (Continued from Page One.) the Frencli school and the Gypsy clement of Hungary. The exquisite tranquility, the lovely melody, and color combined to make it a song long to be remembered. “Darf des P'alken Sehwinge,” from the cycle of songs based on gypsy melodies, by the Bohemian composer, Dvorak, remarkably fleeted tlie nationality. Baggi sang the stirring words of the ode with passion. “A Loi,” by Bemberg contains mucli refinement of detail. It a gem of the first water, exquisite in texture and of extreme refine ment, with a melody of captivating loveliness and an accompaniment of polished art as rare as it was en gaging. Next he sang “A Love Song,” by Protherol. In “Retreat,” by La Forge, there was a marvelous s£ ity and calm depicting sadness and gloom that seeks naught of life’s diversions. Baggiore’s voice was crystal cleai in “The Crying Waters,” by Camp- bell-Tipton. He was very effectiv in Harriet Ware’s beautiful “Mam my Song,” which tells of the true spirit of the Southern negro, simple joys and the simple beliefs they held. Signor Baggiore chose to close his concert with “I Love Life,” by Ma- na Zuoca, wliich he delivered with mucli brilliancy, ardor and utter abandon. In his native diction Baggiore is one of the few singers understand able throughout the entire range of Steno: “I’m going to be marrie Saturday, and—” Her Boss: “And so you’re goin Steno: “Oh, no! I’m just going 1 tell you that I’ll be needing moi money.” MRS. BLAKSLEE THRILLS LARGE AUDIENCE AT Y. P. M. (Continued from Page One.) hospital in St. Petersburg. Here she encountered the opinions of the other students, of the doctors, and of her patients. Her family laughed her apprehensions and at her reports of trouble, but soon after, while she herself was shut in on an operation at the hospital the revo lution broke. Being a woman of decided opin- ns, the Countess was always in danger because of her rashness in stating them. Her work in the hos pital made her respected by the peasants and often protected her from an arrest which her title would have caused. The Countess her story of the adventures she had that were a result of her unexcelled curiosity. One day she was reading a newly- tacked-up proclamation when a wom- m requested her to read it. As she touched the proclamation it fell down and the woman called the po lice by her cries of “Counter revolu tionist!” However, the judge of tlie court, who was a former patient of hers, managed to allow her to go le was one of the first few to listen to the speeches of Lenin and Trotzky. In three weeks’ time their •al first followers were increased crowd large enough to overflo' the streets. Her second arrest came soon afte she defied a marauding Bolshevick leader who was desecrating a cathed ral. On her way from the hospital to the Theological Seminary whei he was a student, she was arrested nd thrown into prison. After being questioned, she was put into a cell th five other women. In ordei have any privacy they had to open an umbrella across the small window. Their only food was hot water and dried, wormy fish. After her release all of the pro fessors at the seminary were ar rested for their religion, and a lec turer of law was shot. She was one of a band who went out into the country to dig potatoes, which they carried into town on their backs, in order that they might feed the pris- Again she was thrown into pris on where she stayed in the same cell for two months. During this time she took her watch and divided her thoughts into hour periods. She thought thru a day as she might have lived it. One hour she spent on English history, another hour read ing (or rather recalling) some famil iar book. Thus the Countess evi denced one of the strongest argu ments for education the student body has ever heard. By means of the diaries which the former political prisoners had written on the walls, she learned to know all of the form er inmates. In a small corner she found a place to write her own diary. One of the most touching things she found was a lovely poem by the twenty-year-old daughter of a well- known newspaper editor. Each night the prisoners could hear soft calls of the numbers of the prisoners who were to be removed or taken away and shot. There a niglit when she heard her number called, and the signal for shooting was given! Her reaction at first cries of fear and protest. Then her soul seemed to separate from body and stand looking down disgust at its physical fear. It se ed to tell her that she must not like a coward," and, through its fluence, her strength reinforced her and her soul returned to her body. After her strange experience, she grew ill enough to be placed in the hospital. Here she was found by two American doctors and lowed to be taken away, si: Bblshevics thought her dying. Through the especial effort of the two eminent doctors, she finally gained the forty-nine permits sary for her departure froi country. At the frontier she had to bribe the customs officer to let her through. When she reached London, she had only the clothes on her back and part of the fifty dollars given her by the Americans. For jome time she lived, although almost starving, in London on six pence per day. Fi nally she got work in a museum, a position requiring the translation of old Russian manuscripts. Wlien she came to America she married her “perfectly lovely Amer- husband,” who appeared on the platform with the Countess. The Countess has published one book of her experiences, A World End, and is writing another en titled Exile. A very charming young lady, the Russian Countess made a vivid im pression on her collegiate audience because of her striking personality, her vivacious attractiveness, and her charming manner. MISS DAVIS IS SPEAKER AT VESPERS (Continued from Page One.) Salem College unite in the desire to realize full and creative life througli a growing knowledge of God. “We determine to have a part in laking this life possible for all peo ple. “In this task we seek to under- and Jesus and follow Him.” The “Y” is divided into twelve committees, and girls may serve on or all of them. If you do not the Children’s Home, or the Salem Home, and if you do not swap experiences with industrial girls, you miss a big part of “Y” work. Miss Davis concluded her talk by advising every one to seize the opportunity and join the “Y.” Following this talk. Miss Lilly led in prayer and asked that Salem stu dents might be of that small group who seek to find joy in life by s ing others in any way they can. 1921 — 1931 Salem Lunch All kinds of Sandwiches HOME MADE PIES Including our famous FRIED PIES —Curb Service— Cor.
