The concert given by the Choral
Club, under the directorship of Mrs.
Thatcher, was a successful and well
given affair. The program was
varied and pleasing. The "Wynken,
Blinken and Nod" quintette was es­pecially
good, the four hand accom­paniment
being something out of the
ordfcnarjy. All the clioral n;umbe|rs
were well done. Perhaps the best
number of these was "One Spring
Morning," toy Nevin, a gay and rol­licking
little air—a true type of En­glish
pastoral song. The solos were
well received, and all were beauti­fully
interpreted and well sung.
Praise is due Mrs,, Thatcher for
the time, energy and tireless work
which she has expended to make this
annual Choral Club concert a success.
Owing to the broken first quarter
the Choral Club had difficulty in get­ting
a really good start, but the last
two quarters, very intensive work has
been done, and now the club is a
very worth while organization.

Ever since coming to Bellingham last
September it has been my desire to visit

some of the western cities in order to
know better just what is being done

A speaker of unusual magnetism
and enthusiasm is> Gfrace Manners
Brougham. Mrs. Brougham is a sis­ter
of Sir Guy Manners, the poet, and
is herself a social worker. She is en­thusiastic
over every idea which she
presents and, although we may not
agree with her in every respect we
cannot but admire her convictions.
Mrs. Brougham found in her travels
over America that every city and
hamlet was affected by the late war.
She spoke of the reception accorded
her at Pasco where, at the station,
she was met by a veritable regiment
of youngsters, each in a captured
German helmet and some in Prussian
officer's coats, sent back by their
brothers in France.
Every nation on earth, she said,
passed through London on the way
into the whirlwind of war. In the
first American battle, at Cantigny,
they fought in conjunction with
French Moroccans. Nearly all of the
world was united in a common cause
against a common enemy.
Mrs. Brougham bitterly arraigned
the Bolshevists and their doctrines
which are sweeping the world. She
attributed these ideas as being derived
from the false German psychology,
which has shown itself incorrect in
almost every crisis of the war. This
German psychology, /she' said, was
and is one of protest and sorrow,
which appeals to the poorer class es­pecially.
What the world needs is
not sorrow and brooding, but a spirit
of optimism and sanity.
She showed her disgust of those
like Lodge and Poindexter, who are
the unbelievers, and those journalists
who continually present the dark
