yond the fondest anticipation OF the
ladies in charge. 1t opened with sup
per which IVES served in the lecture
room between $3.50 and o'clock. The
tables were arranged on each side Of the
room, and there was constant throng
Of visitors. The decorations were very
tasteful. and the menu embraced all the
seasons dslicacies and substantials. 1t
is unnecessary to state that the service
was excellent. 1t was one of the very
best suppers arranged by such an or
ganization, and patrons were more than
pleased.
There was such crush at times that
the ladies feared they would have to
disappoint some of their patrons. They
were kept very busy until eight o'clock,
when the concert programme was CIV
en-. At that hour all the seats in the
lecture room were occupied, and all
denominations were represented in the
audience. The programme, as pub
lished. was rendered in a very satisfac-
tory manner, the only disappointment
being caused by the non-appearance of
Miss Jones, on account Of illness.
The first number was a pleasing in
strumental duet, given by Miss Bessie
Kyle and Mrs S. Whitesides. 1t was
followed by vocal solo. excellenuy
rendered by Mrs. Jessie Morris. Miss
Harriet Dalzell also contributed vocal
number, which delighted her hearers.
The selections by Mrs. Martha Whita-
ker were faultlessly sung, and she was
rewarded with most enthusiastic en-
cores Miss Margaret Harvey and Mrs.
Leon Klee contributed vocal gems
which were we'll received. Mrs. Anna
Lang Behlen is an old favorite, and her
artistic rendition of harp solos won for
her flattering marks of appreciation.
The accompanies were Mrs. Ricardo
Ricci, Mrs. Behlen. Miss Lulu Hicns,
and Miss Sue Caldwell.
