The sisters and students of All Hallows
academy entertained few of their city
friends yesterday in manner that will
long be remembered with pleasure and
pride by the few who were fortunate
enough to be their guests. Nobody who is
not acquainted with All Hallows and the
noble sisterhood in whose charge it is, can
form any idea of the amount of pleasure
and happiness that attends a visit
of a few hours there. 1t is
continual joy while one is inside the
walls of the building and pleasure to re-
fleet on what 700 have seen and heard after
leaving. A frowu has never been seen
within the limits of the premises or any
thing else but sunshine and smiles and all
the other manifestations of sympathy and
love in the catalogue. Yesterdays enter
tainment consisted of musical program

Mrs. Walden's singing was absolutely
beautiful Why she should have exceeded
all her previous efforts is hard to account
for, but she did. 1t may be that the
knowledge that she was singing before a
company who understood music and ap-
preciated talent inspired her with conf
dence and buoyed her up. 1t is said that
really good singers always prefer to sing
before intelligent critics than before those
who know nothing about music whatever
At all events her singing yester-
day seemed sweeter than ever
before and that is certainly
saying good deal. 1t was the first time
the sisters and students of All Hallows
had heard her, and to say her sweet notes
threw them into raptures Of delight would
not be adequately expressing it. They
who have heard some of the finest singers
in the world considered it great treat to
hear Mrs. Walden. and at the end of every
number she was applauded with all the
vigor and force that could be produced by
about thirty pairs of little white hands.
There is one thing peculiar about Mrs.
Walden's singing, and that is her notes
seem sweeter the last time one hears her
than ever before.
The sisters paid her genius a
very high compliment and one
that would turn the head of less
sensible woman.
Professor Blume also did some magnifi-
all present. Misses Guyton and Doherty
played on the mandolins and were ac-
companied by one of their sisters on fine
new harp, a gift to the convent. They
made some charming music
The recitation by littls Miss Fitzpatrick
was splendidly executed, and at its con-
clusion some fine omyliments ware
bestowed on her talent by the
guests. The xylophone solo by Miss
Kellenberger and the recitation by Miss
Ada Shultz were simply grand aud re-
f1ected no small amount of credit on the
training of the pupils in these arts. The
vocal solo by Miss Maize Alley and the
recitation by Miss Jessie Guyton were
really beautiful. Miss Alley has a beauti-
full voice and there is hardly any boubt
but what she is destined to be one of the
future great singers of Wichita.
Taking the entertainment all in all it
was grand, interesting, inspiring and up
lifting. After the program was finished
the sisters treated their guests to some
nice refreshments which included cake
and delicious lemonade. Mrs Walden,
especially, made fine impression among
the lovers of sweet music and she will al
ways find hearty welcome at All
Hallows
