Christian association, contains the fol-
lowing:
This week we said goodbye to Miss
Brooks, who for two years has been go
Ing among the colleges and normal
schools in this state and by her sweet
face and winning ways won so many
friends. Her COnsecrated spirit and pray
erful life has left its impress on many
girls. In the cities. also, where she was
an occasional visitor, she was always
welcome guest She goes home for Il
year Of rest but we trust, will some
time return to Young Women's Christian
assucia tion work and TO Pennsylvania
Mrs. Lowry, our secretary, has notified
the board that she does not feel that II ~

Miss Cordela Freeman, of this city,
and Miss Jennie O'Boylc, of Archibald
| took part in musicale at Wilkes-Bar
| Tuesday night. The Wikcs-Barre Record
| of yesterday said:
| Miss Boyle is a pupil Cf i. Il. South
| worth, of Scranton, VINO is well known to
! many Wilkcs-Barre people as very able
musician. ana teacher The young lady is
| a daughter of +. j. Boyle and her parents
! and some of her friends came down along.
| Her programme was an ambitious one
and gave her ability severe test but she
interpreted it in highly creditable man
ner, showing the result not only Of nat
| ural talent and persistent practice, but
able instruction as well. The first num-
Der or two lacked fine expression owing to
| the natural nervousness that overtakes
the amateur in a recital but the performer
soon regaincd confidence and played most
| of the other numbers brilliantly. Espe-
cially is this true of the MacDowell num-
| ber, IleXctanz, and the Nalsc in the
Chopin group. The young ladyS tech
! nique is especially praisewOrthy notably
| her runs and trills. She also has good
! line touch and every note is clear and
| distinct. Her future ought TO be Dllgnt.
Miss Freeman has spent considerable
! time abroad studying vocal music and
she made very good impression last
evening She sang four or five numbers,
one of them her own composition, "lll
| Not Confer with Sorrow" Miss Freeman
has a voice of good range and power and
she sings with much freedom and conf
denCc. She made no effort at vocal pyro-
technics last evening but the possibilities
of her voice were well shown. "Du bist
vie cine Bume," by Cantor, and lullaby
by Morris, in which the "Rock-a-by
Baby" words were used, were especially
wen sung. They evoked enthusiastic APP
plause.

college Mr.. Daniels made a splendid rec.
ord aud the faculty has decided to eX'

Daniels duties as a war correspondent
are completed he will begin the practice
