wide-awake musical town and especially
when It Is taken into consideration that
the present year had many counter
pleasantnessess and unpleasantnesses,
the success in gathering audiences at
two weeks intervals Is unprecedented.
Mrs Flora Williams, as chorus director,
had her faithful endeavor in behalf of
the club rewarded last evening by
showing of part singing, unsurpassed in
tine clty's musical annals and each
young lady OF the Choral club individ-
ually Is deserving of the highest praise
for the brilliant elimination Of a years
tuition under Mrs. Williams baton.
The ensemble work was beyond crlti-
cism. while the double number, Mozart's
Lullaby and There Is one that love
dearly" sung by the Club Quartet,
Miss Zou Hastings, Miss Mary Vardy,
Miss Margaret Harvey and Miss Theresa
Philips. was one of the most enjoyable
Of the l-good-performances
The first and second parts of the pro-
gramme were both opened with instru-
mental quartetts, and each selection
was merItoriuusly given The Magic
Flute, by Miss Grace Pollack, Miss Ella
Brlce, Miss Flora Pollack and Miss
Blanche Laue, and Memberships Ruy
Bias, by Mrs. Charles o. Roemer. Miss
Amanda Spell, Mrs. H. W. Ewalt and
Miss Flora Stifel. The work OF the
above named members Of the club may
be termed unusual. In a city which until
recent years had no Conservatory of
Music and no opportunity for such prac-
tice, and its bringing TO the front by the
Woman's Club rs permanent feature
Is worthy of more than passing notice.
Another ensemble number interesting
because varying the observation-disclosures
In evidence than on an average
progrnmmc-was the violin and pi-
ano duo played by Misses Flora
md Grace Pollacl. The selec.
ton, Moszkowskps beautiful Valse
opus "a, proved the young ladies' aptncss
as ensemble players. Mrs. C. p. Flick
and Mrs. Nelli,. Warren Holloway, the
plano soloists OF :hc evening. are so well
known as doing artistic work ranking
with concert professionals, that any
wordsregardingt heirpcrformance seems
supcrtluous. Mrs. Flick's selections were
two exquisite Chopin numbers. while
Mrs. Holloway by request. again played
the Senate Appassionata so delightfully."-
heard ut q recent recital in the, clubs
own rooms. Both ladies were enthusl-
astically received.
The vocal solo work was thoroughly
artistic. and the singers were greeted
with generous evidence OF approval.
Miss Gertrude ReIstcr swectly gave
Springs Awakening, Miss Zou Hastings
apDealingly sang "IntermeZzo," from
Cavallerla Rusticana. Miss Sue Cald-
well charmingly rendered Massennet
Serenade, and no more pleasing trio
could have reflected to the credit OF the
programme committee than those heard
last night. The splendid programme
ended with the Prison scene from IN
Trovatora," with Mrs. Williams rs Lea
more and Miss Margaret Harvey rs
Manrlco. Miss Harvey's extraordinary
beautiful contralto voice was never
heard to better advantage and tho work
of Mrs. Flora Williams added new lau-
rels to tho many already won and
proved beyond doubt that the operate
stage 1ns missed n brilliant mark.
Taken all In all the excellent showing az

third season.augurs well for It's continue
