in the interests of charity. The benefit
for the newsboys Friday evening was

There was slight change in the
programme given Wednesday after
noon before the Schubert club, Mr..
Stoll, who was to have appeared in
a duet number with Miss Wilson, be-
ing detained at home by illness which
neceSsitated the tomisSiOn of this num-
Der altogether. Mrs. Richard Wagner,
of Albany, N. Y, who is the guest of
Mrs. Charles Titcomb, contributed to
the programme and received a warm
reception from the club, of which she
was al one time member. Mrs. Wag-
oner was Miss Faith Wagner, of St.
Paul, before her marriage. Her selec-
tions were from Chopin and Mendels-
sohn, the latter number being given
with great deal ~of expression. She
has "a warm sympathetic touch. Her
encore number was Simple Averu'
ieThome) The Euterpe quartette, a
new organization, made it's initial ap-
pearance before the club and was well
received. Ray Shryock, whose per-
forn.ance on the violin is somewhat
wonderful for so young boy, won
warm praise and numerous encores
from the members, giving with espe-
cial feeling the fine execution the De
Beriot's 'Fantasie." Miss Bulah Ba-
ker was not in so good a voice as
usual She sang a selection from
Buck, and the chorus, under the. direc-
ton of Miss Shaw, gave the final num-
Der, the solo parts being taken by Mrs.
S. V. Harris. The chorus is gaining
rapidly with Miss Shaw. The tones
were we'll sustained, and there was
no shouting. Miss Shaw again demon
strated her ability as director

to, will take part in a concert to be
