bers of the society were present The

reading of the report of the chapters re-
gent, Mrs. Hascal r.. Brill, who repre-
'sented her chapter at the national con-
gress of the Daughters of the American
Revolution held recently in Washington.
Mrs. Brill gave an interesting account of
the work accomplished by the congress.
together with a pen sketch of some of
the notable women who were present and
description of some of the more impor-
tant social functions arranged In honor
of the visiting Daughters. She gave a

the reception given by President McKin-
ley and his wife to those attending the
congress.
Miss Robinson sang several selections,
and Miss Hullsick played. After the meet
ing refreshments were served by the
hostess.
MIR. Henry de Lorme were well filled last
night by an interested audience, the oc-
casion being the recital given by Mr..
Harry Aronson, a young bass singer OF
St Paul The programme selected would
seem, at a glance, trying one for the
average singer to carry out with any de-
gree of success for 1t included Meyer
beers aria from "Dinorah, Mendels-
sohn's aria from Elijah Where 'Er
You Walk" by Handel, and Schubert s
difficult ''Aufenthalt," in fact, every num-
ber presented enough difficulties to be
something of tax on voice possessing
even more than the usual strength. Mr..
Arcnson however, knew how to use his
voice and had sufficient reserve force to
BE-, vocally, apparently as fresh at the
conclusion as he was at the opening num-
Der, the aria from "Dlnorah' by Meyer
beer.
He possesses, naturally, a bass voice Of
unusual depth, marked by a strongly
sympathetic quality, and listening to it
one is impressed by the fact that the best
possibilities in the voice have been
brought out.
Besides the numbers already mentioned,
'Alle Stella Confidante,'' by Robani, with
violin obligato by Edward c. W1neburg,
was particularly enjoyable.
Mr.. Aronson sang. three songs in a
lighter vein. Love Me If I Live" Footei
Because I Love You, Dear" Humley
and Gypsy John,'' Clay. In response te
an enthusiastic recall he sang 1.-The Bells
of Seville" by w. H. Jude.
