recital last Wednesday evening at the
Conversational church assisted by Mr..
and Miss Schroeder violinist and pianist,
which though not 90 we'll attended as
the program deserved was listened to
by an appreciative audience. Miss
Gleason played all her own accompani-
ments, and although her Columbus
friends know her accomplishments more
- . pianist, she equally established her
reputation as vocalist. In the fifteen
selections on the program, as we'll as the
enchor pieces, Miss Gleason sang with
out the music before her. The violin
and piano selections by Mr.. and Miss
Schroeder were excellent, a. they a.
ways are. We must not fail to mention
the "song," . competition by Miss Glea-
son, which was heartily enchored. Miss

studies.
