GREAT CoNCERT.
Fashionable Audience at Il. Johns Ep scopsl
Church.

St. Johns church was crowded TO its ut
most capacity by a fashionable audience
last evening at the concert given by the
graduating pupils of the Mozart school of
music.
The affair was quite a social event. The
church was BEAUTIFULLY decorated with
flowers and palms and the young ladies
graduating were gowned in white, carry
ing flowers. Four young girls in white
acted as ushers.
The concert was opened by Shaw's
orchestra, followed by Miss Mildred Hays
who executed the brilliant La Chase by
R5elnberger in her own brilliant manner.
Her execution is distinguished by eX-
quIsiie versatility, as shown by her eX-
cepiioualIy fine rendering of Beethoven's
Moonlight Sonata with its alienation OF
words tender and passionate.
Chopin's NaI>e Brilliant was well rem
dered by Miss Ne'tie Gatewood, and her
playing of Beude's BaracOlIe was es
pecia!iy sweet and sympathetic.
Miss Frances Aldendeifer, a recent grad o.
uate of the Boston Conservatory, charmed
the audiences by her fine singing of LiebePs
beautiful flower song from GOunod.
Miss Clara DicksOl's playing of Beetho-
veu's Sonata Pathetique" was excellenr.
Her technique i good, and her rendition
of adagiO passages particularly worthy of
praise.
Rev. Won Herrlick in few choice words
presented the certificates TO the three
young ladies graduating from the Mozart
School of Music-Miss Hays, Miss Dick
son and Miss Gatewood.
Such school, with teacher like Mrs.
Hays, capable of graduating such pupils,
reflect credit upon Wichita

hitching in the ground. When one
foot has reached the ground the action
of the other has not ceased.
There is another point in walking.
The body is constantly supported and
balanced on each leg alternately and,
therefore. on only one at once. Hence
there must be some means for throw
ing the center Of gravity over the line
of support formed by the bones Of each
leg as it supports the weight of the
body This is done in various ways
and hence the differences in the walk

accompanied by a movement of the
whole trunk and leg over the foot

panied by a compromising outward
movement az the hip The body rises
and swings alternately over one or the
other leg, and the curvature of the
