program in a very praiseworthy manner

is added to this natural sweetness. the
effect is really charming Miss Maud
TerIii made her first public appearance
and did honor to herself in the solo
Dream Stars" by j. l.. Malloy. The

Sedswick pupils of Mrs. Walden, closed
the first part of the program with duet,
Look, the Pale Moon" 1t was a fitting
close, and after the rendition there came a
recess to an audience almost surfeited with
beautiful music.

Professor Blume played next. His violin
responding to his touch with the mellow

through the hall tones of indescrbable
beauty. We thought not of the man, not
of the musician, but only of the music
