bar. These will be the charter members
OF the chapter to which, no doubt other
names will soon be added.
The name chosen for the chapter was
that OF the brave Anthony Wayne. not
oily because 1t was the suggestion OF the
state regent Mrs. Sidney Fontaine Of tial-
weston, but because there was no other
chapter Of that name on the list. and this
Is the third notable instance III which
Texans have taken the lead in thus naming
their chapters. Two remarkable instances
were those OF the George Washington chap
ter. D. A. r., of Galveston, and the Robert
Il. Lee chapter, U. d. c.. OF Houston
These were the two first chapters named
for these, the greatest soldiers OF Ameri-
can history. The Anthony Wayne chapter
has taken for It's motto "The Fort Is
Ours" which was the countersign given to
the little darkey who peddcd strawberries
in and out of the fort at Stoney Point
and the strawberry blossom has been chos-

pointed the following officers to act with
her: Mrs W. G. Crane, vice regent; Mrs

ing was a telegram OF congraulation from
Mrs. William Grace, regent OF the sister
chapter of Galveston, which was read and
thoroughly appreciated.
The recital of Miss Kidd and MIR.
Aldrdge Kidd Wednesday evening was
truly a feast of sweet sounds. There was
a good house, and the young artists were
received with so much heartiness that they
felt at once en- rapport with their audience
and threw themselves into their work con
amore. Miss Kids voice, which was
heard by many for the first time, is an ex-
qusitely pure and wonderfully flexible So
prano. Her vocalization is remarkably
good. and though her voice has not very
great volume, it has carrying quality that
is quite out of the ordinary. Then it is SO
sweet = the soft lifting effect is delightful,
as the notes are daintily touched and 50
truly. that the pleasure In listening Is
an exquisite one. She chose her songs
wisely too, taking those that would show
to advantage her admirable training. This
was especially notable in the SHADOW
Dance" by Meyerbeer, and the selection
from the Barber of Seville but the gems
of the evening We're "Dites Moi" by God
ard Lite by Chaminade and 20 Let
Night Speak OF Me-" by Chadwick. Mr..
Kidd was in excellent form. He fairly
outdid himself and his music took the
house by storm In Reinecke's 'Ballade in
fat" and 'The Wanderer' his playing
was simply magnificent and one could
fairly see the butterflies futtering over the
field of flowers while he gave Grieg's ex-
auisite morceau PAY lions" But MI. Kidd
did more than show himself pianist OF the
premier force" he proved himself to be
composer of unusual merit. Three OF his
compositions were given-two, "Rescrie in
d fiat and Fantasia were for the
piano and "A Lovers Rhyme for the
! voice All of them showed both force and
originality, but especially the ..Fantasie"-
| that showed genius. Houston is proud,
and Justly so, of these two young artists,
whose merit was acknowledged with de-
| lighted surprise by strangers who heard
them for the first time Wednesday,
strangers who have had both training in
music and the opportunity of hearing the
| worlds best musicians.
The audience was very appreciative and
at the same time considerate, only insist
| ing, with one exception to each, IN calling
| the performers out to show their appre-
| citation of the work done Miss Kidd, who
! is Just as sweet to look at as to listen
! to, received baskets and bouquets galore,

ence for good and all She and her brother
