THE ". G. P. s. P. CONCERT.

Something over year ago movement
was set on foot by some of the I" literary
lights under treatment at the Water Cure to
establish library for the benefit of the So
journers of this favorite resort. To accom-
plish the desired aim an organization was
effected, composed Of the ladies present,
taking the title of the Water Cure Reading
Club. That it thrived and the library now
numbers in the hundreds is due mainly to
the superior and wise management of Miss
Myth, the worthy President, and, if we mis-
take not organizer of the club.
In the history of benevolent institutions,
for such we are creditably informed this I'M
doubtedly is, it frequently is found expedi-
ent, in order to strengthen and enlarge a
sphere of usefulness as well as add spice to
the routine of daily readings, to indulge in q
g season of song" some Of the sisters per-
haps excelling in this accomplishment. To
this end, on Saturday evening last, the
Peaked Sisters of the Club gave benefit
entertainment, which will be remembered
with much pleasure by those who were so
fortunate as to attend.
The programme consisted of fourteen num-
bers, and contrary 10 the usual custom with
amateurs there was no dragging or hesitation
in their delivery. One young gentleman not
acquainted with the promptitude which is a
Distinguishing quality of the Club. who had
counted much on attending the concert,
voluntarily paid the penalty Of two and a
half times the price of admission for missing
the major part of the performance.
1t is usually customary to say something
nice of the costumes assumed by sister per.
formers, but on this occasion the Sisters
| saved the reporter any cause for anxiety as
to the few remaining locks on his hoary head
by dressing in uniform. so all he can say is
that they looked as sweet as peaches, yea
nicer than plum pudding.
| The entertainment, as whole, was decid
eddy ga unique" For prudential reason,
we do not care to draw comparisons, neither
could we should we feel disposed. Sister
Polly, however, being the leader and elder
of the Sisters, deserves rich praise for tht
| success of the evening Her vocal solo was
received with great enthusiasm, as 40 on,
but Sister Polly could so well render botl
the essence and spirit of the words com
posed (?) by the physician to the g Cure,
and used as an universal panacea for tn,
varied psychological and material interests
of his patients. AS she trilled g From Wild
dleion to Middleton is eighteen miles," tn
audience could perceive from the modula
tons and infection of her voice whether tn,
words were meant as 50 Morse appetizer. ,
or covered the condition of the pathetic
bald-headed bachelor from Chicago, VIII,
finds it necessary at times to drink ou
artesian waters and obtain the quiet ant
comfort of suburban life.
| That the audience was appreciative ma,
be inferred from the generous bestowal O
flowers. At the conclusion of "Aestheti
selections q perfect shower of sunfower
fell upon the Sisters. Bouquets, too, followed
in rapid order as the Sisters severally O
individually achieved success, and Siste
Polly at the close of her solo received
floral "peak'' of beautiful design and mag
nifcent proportions.
In conclusion, we desire to mention the Jim
portant part taken by the pianist of tn
evening, whose Introductory prelude wa
we'll received and whose accompaniment
conspired greatly to the pleasure of the en-
tertainment.
