Miss Iona White acted'as Mistress OF
Ceremonies and announced the perform!
ers. The programme; throughout was ad:
mirably rendered and every number was
deservediy applauded. III
Tie piano playing Of Misses Quinn, Do
ran and Humes was Of aVeryhigh standard,
especially that Of Miss Quinn, and dem.
onstrated in an admirable manner the su.
perb methods employed in teaching at
Mt. de Chantal. These methods have
heretofore been explained and the fact
that The public understands and appre-
ciates their value,i Is attested by the roll Of
the school, which shows an attendance
from nearly every State in the Union. The
piano playing was marked by Q careful at
tantion to phrasing and the proper express
sion. At times It was artistically brilliant.
The young ladies named have made Won
derful progress since they have been at
the Mount and those In charge OF the In.
stitntion have every reason TO be proud OF
them. The playing OF the other ladies
named on the prograunmeIw was also credit
able andtleserying Of notice:
h yOf the vocal numbefst that in which
Mis- Agnes Kane, OF Pittsburgh, took part
was particularly deserving OF notice. Miss
Kaneiis Is gifted with q pure soprano voice
iot power and sweetness In addition she
has decided dramatic ability. This was
very noticeable In the manner In which
she recited sThe Moor's Rsyenge,n At
hi times she was perfectly self-posses,ed
and her singing was without apparent
effort her notes easily filling the large
room. Miss Donahpe's contfalto voice
Mai sls6 heard 10 good advantage.
I Miss Glenn's solo, with o harp accom-
paniment played by herself, was pleasing
and warmly encored by the audience.
Miss Hoeyeler's simple little song was
charninely sung and. .of the other young
ladies It may, besaid That they have every
reason 10 feel satisfied with themselves.
They showed plainly that they were en-.
Gagged incareinl study, the good results Of
which will daily become more and more
apparent to themselves and their friends.
The programme being concluded, the
guests spent an hour very enioyably wan.
dering through the various departments.
The kitchen Of the cooking class was q
