The st. Paul Mozart club celebrated
Christmas In a new and novel manner

steal programme and Christmas tree
service The programme opened with a
rendition of Adams ''Holy Night" by
members of the club, while the curtain
rose on a bed room scene, with a
bed containing two small children.
The children remained contented until
the appearance of an angel guardian,
who was afterwards followed by San
ia Claus. The scene, with the chorus
accompaniment, was a very pretty and
sympathetic one. This pleasant and
pretty scene was followed by the as
sembly of the members and full chorus
of the Mozart club, with President P.
J. Giesen in their midst. The president
and prime mover Of the Mozart club in
a short address thanked not only the
members of the club, but also the Ger
man ladies and gentlemen who were
present for their loyal, generous and
noble support Of the organization dur
ing the past two years, while they have
labored to give to the German public
of st. Paul all that was to be desired.

ization the members had done all in
their power to place the Mozart club
in the foremost ranks Of the musical
public societies of st. Paul.

York Arion society and other events as an
assurance OF their sympathies and interest

rector William Manner, of the Club, to ap-
pear on the stage. On his appearance Presi-
