' Can Women influence legislation more effeclively by joining Party or Non-Party Organizations f ' A Discussion between
Dame CAROLINE BRIDGEMAN and Lady GALWAY
IT would be difficult to find two people better qualified to discuss this question. Dame
Caroline Bridgeman is a party woman in a very special sense. She is not only a past Chairman of the Women's Unionist Organization, but also past Chairman of the Council of the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations—the first woman to be elected to such a post in any party. Lady Galway's public work, including her share in her husband's work as Governor of South Australia, has lain chiefly in non-party lines. She was Chairman of the Consultative Committee of Women's Organizations, and is still Chairman of the Joint Par. liamentary Advisory Council.

DELPHI, which forms the subject of Mr.
Casson's talk this evening, was the religious centre of the Greek classical world. It is difficult for the inhabitants of an almost mechanical and materialistic world to realize the power of the famous oracle to which all the States of Hellas, and even the kings of the Barbarians sent presents; which bade the Athenians retire their ' wooden walls' before Salamis, and warned Croesus that if he crossed the River Halys, 'he would destroy a mighty empire.'

Fragments from Hans Andersen
York Bowen , arr. Gerrard Williams
The Metal Pig: A Picture from the Fortress Wall; Thumbelina; The Hardy Tin Soldier
ONE of the distinguished pianists of our generation, York Bowen has composed in many forms, and though his own instrument has naturally been generously treated, with three Concertos among other works, he has written too for the viola and for -the orchestra. A 'Symphonic Fantasia' of his was given by Hans Richter both in London and in Manchester before the war; and his ' Symphony in E Minor,' as well as a brilliantly effective Violin Concerto, was warmly received in the Queen's Hall. But, thoroughly at home as he is in the largo forms, he is no less happy in dealing with such lighthearted themes as these imaginative ' Fragments from Hans Andersen. ' Listeners who know the stories will naturally enjoy them best, but even as pure music they are fresh and melodious.
