The pnpis' recital given at the studio
OF MIS-. Ella Gottschalk- Seeligson WAS an
anair worthy in every respect of the ge.
MUS OF that talented teacher. In another
part Oh this paper will be found the pro.
gramme OF that occasion. 1t was exc.
cuseu with singular fidelity to details and
the pupils showed themselves to be re-
markably we'll acquainted with the high
order OF music which the programme con-
tanned.
There has been nothing of interest dur
lng 1he past week. Peace and quiet and
warm weather have reigned supre me and
people have seemed 10th to move in any
direction. 1t is hoped that when we be

up little. We need a social revolution.
something to wake people up. 1t was
predicted that the end of the world would
arrive here yesterday after having begun
In England on Friday. We have copied
after the English great deal, talked like
them. walked like them and worn clothes
like them and although it should be some
satisfaction to know that we got an end
to our share of the world direct from
London we cannot say we want to follow
them In any such new departure. If such
things are to be the style in London this
summer and there are any here who want
to initiate it let them 90 to London and
do 1t. The rest of us are satisfied to re-

What bids fair to be quite a pleasant
mode or passing away the hours during
the coming fall and winter is the branch
of the Derthick Federation which Is be-
ing established here. It, principles are
similar to the system of ChavauQua
studies, though in this the study of music
and the composers will be taken up. En-.
tertainment will he feature. A prelim-
mary musicale will be held on Monday
evening and an organization effected.
This in connection with the choral society

done about that german club.
They have come at last. For a long
time we thought we were not going to
be honored, but it is not so. There are at
least IL dozen pairs of golf stockings
roaming around our streets. They ap-
pear little timid and some of them
rather retiring, but they will get over
that. Misery loves company and We look
forward to the day when all of us can
wear them. Small trousers were for a
while held to be IN abomination in the
land, but since we are used to them they
are worn ndIscriminately. It is won

there are here golf stockings have not
been worn more than they have. They
are pretty and convenient Qor some PEG.
