drao recital of Mrs. 5. 7. Hen
tickson's piano pupils, last Nanday
evening Miss Flora Jones opened the
program with Scherzeno of Mozkowski
The excellencies of her playing are the
trmness Of her touch and clearness of
notes. She rendered it we'll Mrs. u. h.
Mann followed with GeibelPs Idyl, "A
Storm at Sea-" The various accessitudes
of a storm beaten vessel at sea were all
brought out strikingly under Mrs. Mann's
manipulations of the keys. One OF the
most enjoyable numbers was Miss Stella
Wilson's ''Fantasie Caprice" The piece
was well suited TO her most conspicuous
qualities, the rapidity and evenness of her
runs and arpeggios, turns and trills
delesohn's Hunting Song" and the
Gypsy Rondo" in both of which she dis
played her powers as pianist. Clarence
and Hazel Smith, two little folks drew
large share of the applause with duet.
entitled lie Petit Carnival" Miss Belle
Noble played Gottschalk Last Hope"
She conquered the technical difficulties Of
the piece courageously and received the
appreciation Of her hearers. Mrs g. IL:
Mann played Rubenstein's beautiful
melody in +, and Clarence Smith gave
very acceptable rendition of the Old-time
favorite, THE Shepherd Boy" The next
number was Schubert's serenade by Miss
Flora Jones' Little Hazel Smith, who is
but years of age, gave the audience
sweet little gem in clear, well-defned
notes Belle Noble played Chapin's weird
Prelude Celebre," which has many, odd
difficulties for the fingers. The recital was
a success and reflected great credit on
Mrs. Hendrickson's efforts.
