He makes us think of the juggler who can keep a dozen balls in the air as if it were an easy trick, never dropping one.
[Illustration: PROFESSOR R.OGDEN DOREMUS] But I forget to give my own memories of Dr.and Mrs.Doremus in their delightful home on Fourth Avenue between 18th and 19th Streets,--a home full of harmony, melody, peace, and love.

Vincenzo Botta called Dr.Doremus the "Maecenas of New York," and his beautiful wife, the ideal wife and mother, was named by her adoring husband the "queen of women." Mrs.Doremus was prominent in New York's various societies and charities, but the interests of her own family came first.

One of her sons said: "She never neglected her children; we were always loved and well cared for." Both Dr.Doremus and his wife were devoted to music, always of the best.

He was the first president of the Philharmonic Society who was not a musician by profession.

All the preceding presidents had been selected from the active musicians in the society.
