Miss Grace Llewellyn's recitation Last
evening, on the occasion of Mrs. Trezevsnps
concert, was one of the gems of the evening
We have never heard Miss Llewellyn in bet
ter voice, and have never seen her appear 10
such decided advantage. Every emotion of
the soul flashed into expression, not only
| through the medium of her besutifuliy =
| trained voice, but as eloqueDtly in her "a
| diant face. She has wonderful powerful
power to interpret thought az only one can
! who bas the divine gift" of looking into the
| soul of the poet. She has equal power in
giving eloquent expression to this interpr5-
talion. She is a closs student, careful, pains
| taking and critical, reaching after the most
| artistic ideals 10 her chosen profession.
Miss Llewellyn deserves all honor and cue
| cess, and is having both in abundant measure.
81 have come" remarked the graduate,
AS he stood with smiling face
Within the open doorway,
On his features all the grace
OF Belvidere Apollo;
And of baseball lore n trace
In the broken ointed fingers
That were won on second base
''To say to the biggest editor
He that Right against Wrong maintains
And weapons of cold logic
Ga the ranks OF Sophis1n trains
That, to help his worthy paper
have loosed my seethiDg brains,
And evolved thereirom a paper
On the subject, Why II Rains ="
There was meier larger funeral
Went from out the city's gate
Than Inat which followed slowly
The corpse of the graduate.
He was laid beneath the willows,
Ger his grave the daisies nod,
And the essay on the rainfall
Rests beside him in the sod.
