musical under the auspices OF Mr. and

day evening. The most charming part Of
the programme was the piano performance
of Miss F'lossie Marsden, who played
music OF her own c0mpoSure. and
other music on sigh, that she had
never seen before. This is truly Won
derful when one considers her age, II
years. But the "hit' of the evening was
