Them" The time and expression was
fine, and the Wednesday Club is cOngrat-
ulated on the good work they have al
ready done this fall. The second number
on the programme was Hear My Prayer"

by Miss Adelaide Watkins. Miss Wat

solos-"Ah! Not Drop" and The Hope
Men Set Their Hearts Upon"-both from
"A Persian Garden" Mrs. Durretts voice
never sounded better than IL did last
night
The Wednesday Club then sang "Who
is Sylvia?" Germany and THE Sea Has

ment. Miss Betty Booker's sweet and
pure soprano charmed the audience in her
charming rendition Of 1.-The Waltz Song"
