The Young Mems Christian Association
deserves the highest commentator for its
efforts during the past season to bring
| to Houston lecturers for the instruction
and musicians for the pleasure of the peo-
pie. Thursday evening the last OF the
series Of good things was concert BY the
Mozart Symphc ny club OF New York, and
i Turner Hall was fairly well filled BY an
i enthusiastic audience, who certainly were
/ greedy in the matter of encores. The
music. though not OF the highest order,
was excellent, the gem Of the evening
! being Mr.. Otto Luud's violin solo, fan-
/ tasio by Aaro. This was an exquisite
pleasure to The lovers OF music present
/ aud was followed by an encore that WAS
| equally enjoyed. Miss Beiderman, ths
vocalist. has a messo soprano voice OF
not very much force, but she makes the
met Of It, and her numbers were very
pleasing. The quartettes were excellent
and some OF them very realistic. notably
the eighth number on the programme, I'm
a Trap" This descriptive music Is very
catchy and effective in its way. and quite
took the audience by storm The members
of this club. however, seem to be equal
to higher order of music and 1t is prob
ably because they think Houston au
dience is not quite educated up to the re-
quired point. We hope to hear the Mozart
club again and that they will play music
more worthy Of them.

of daintily dressed and happy faced chill

rolling that was given by the Ladies Par

such a good time! For a wonder the day
was like a real spring day and the little
| ones took advantage Of It, After the ex-
citing hunt for the egs was over, there
was rope jumping and riding ABOUT In the
most delightful little cart drawn by the
| latest pony ever seen, and all sorts Of
ways OF amusing the small fry. There
was the usual fringe Of spectators outside
the grounds and one wished one could
| bring them all In. A paraphrase of
Moore's Paradise" and the Peri came in
stinctively to the mind, and the wistful
little faces seemed to be saying
GO, take the pleasures Of all the spheres
And multiply them through endless years,
One ride with that pony is worth them
ALL"
OF course, the mothers came with the
children and the ladies Of the association
that have helped many poor family
through dark hours, were here, there anu
everywhere. bent upon making people,
both young and old, enjoy themselves.
