but the magical name, "Nordica," is often

The Woman's Club. to the regret of
May.
OF the Woman's cub and one of its
members. the following has been quoted
from The Mount" a paper published in
the famous music school, Mount de Chan
tai: Wheeling certainly has cause to
congratulate itself upon the possession of
a club which has made it possible for It's
people to listen within its own concert
halls to an artist Of such rank as Carreno.
The Woman's Musical Club deserves all
honor for the undertaking, and the heroic
efforts of is charter members in the
causp Of culfirrp should become a mart of
the history of Wheeling.
The Mount is very pleased to aclnowl-
edge two musical compositions of Miss
Flora H. Pollack's. We knew that Miss
Pollack had given her time and talents
freely for the various charitable enter
tainments of the season, but that she
had given them TO composition was a mat
ter Of surprise and pleasure 10 her friends.
That her success in the new fed has
equaled her triumphs in the old. is per-
haps the best praise that can be given.
The first song is a lullaby Eugene Fields
"Rock-a-Bye Lady" and the last is
love song. IF you but Knew"
one of the chief charms Of Miss Pol
lacks work is that the music so fully
conveys the sentiment of the words. This
is charm that should exist in every
song: unfortunately it does not.
Both of Miss Pollack's songs were sung
at the last meeting Of the Womans
Musical Club, "a very pretty compliment
on the part of the club and one much APP
preciated by the friends Of the composer.
