The second Of Mrs N. sllva's delightful
song recitals was held last night at her
home. No. 215 Perry street, west.
Mrs. Silva arranges these rccitals
monthly to enable the friends of her pu-
pills to see the progress they are making
In vocal culture. The gatherings are
always pleasant, a social feature being
as pleaslngly cultivated as the musical.
The programme rendered last night was
an admirable one. The participants sang
in a manner to gain encomiums for both
themselves and their instructor. The
numbers were so selected as TO give OPP
portunity for the best possible display Of
talent in a parlor recital.
Mrs. Silva was assisted in the arrange
ment of the recital by Miss Beckwith,
who has studied elocution both wisely and
Wen wisely. as her choice of Prof Clark
Of Chicago University as her teacher will
indicate, and well as her Rotations and
readings testify She leaves in short
while to resume her course Of study N
Chicago.
The first number was "A Sea Song" Y
Clapp, a chorus rendered by the young
ladies of the class. and this was followed
by very pretty song from Misses Uslna,
Cooper and Conner. This trio sang "Nea-
RpiANOiA oOAl6s w lltOils

wick's THE Maiden and Butterfly"
Miss Beckwith recited '"rhe Jewel She
Lacked" which was followed by Mrs.
Ray III. Miller with a selection from
Bemberg THE Alley of Chestnuts," and
from Neidlinger, "Serenade." Though this
was Mrs. Millers first appearance before
an audience, she acquitted herself admira-
bly,, her very sweet voice winning at once
the sympathy of her hearers.
Mrs. Silva gave a short talk on Music
and It's Beginnings" Her very entertain
ing words on this subject were greatly
enjoyed. She went back to the days of
the early Egyptians and described and
exhibited illustrations of the musical in
struments they and other ancient peo-
pies used
The talk on music ended the first part
Of the programme, and the second was
commenced with song, Good Evening,
Good Night" Brahms, by the vocal class
Then followed Miss Connors rendition of
The Garden of Sleep" De Lara.
Miss Antonica Usina sang "a Welcome"
Denza, and "At Parting" Rodgers. Bob
bic Shafto," an admirable piece for
display of Miss Beckwiths elocutionary
ability in the presentation of humor, ten
derness and pathos, was read, and tears
were not far from the surface of the
eyes of her audience at its conclusion.
Miss Emma Bullock's response to the
two selections for which she was down
was received with delight. Think of
Me-" Denza, and Suppose" Raymond
were the songs she sang, and these were
followed by two from Miss Silva, and the
conclusion of the recital. Mrs. Silva sang
first THE Journey" Coombs, and then a
bright little piece. "A Vow" Myer Helm,
that captured the audience. Encored,
Mrs. Silva sang a captivating "Milkmaid' s
Song" She was accompanied by Mrs.

her pupils.
