choir, in the first OF series of song re-
cltals to be given throughout the season
by the more advanced pupils of Mrs. H. H.
Mills. This plan of students recitas is en-
tlrely new to Washington, and it is rather
a bold one, for exceptional must be the at
tainments OF two young singers to COM
mand the interest and enthusiasm of an
audience of critical musicians throughout
an entire evenings program. Misses Hal
ley and Simonds responded to the most ex-
acting requirements, their work eliciting
the heartiest plaudfts Of the large audience

Miss Haley, ELECTED applause. Miss ST.
mondS second number was the "Erl Ko-
Mig of Loewe, and 1t received full justice
In her treatment. A notable number was
Walter Damrosch's Plantation Melody"
and was charmingly rendered by Miss ST.
monds The program closed with Chami-
nade's delightful Spanish Love Song"
sung by Miss Simonds Other numbers on
the program were Lalo's .'L'Esclave," Mey
Francs Cute Nacht'' and. Aus Memen
