The parlor musicale given at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs D. w. Marston Thurs
day evening under the auspices of ST.
Margaret's Mission, was a decided sue
cess The audience was good in pointSof4
numbers and very appreciative. Miss
Pearl Benjamin, whose piano playing
can never fail to charm, gave number
of selections. There were many of those
present who We're surprised atthe play
ing Of Miss Mabel Wood bury on the vio-
lin. She has not appeared many times
before Marshalltown people, except they
be little groups of intimate friends, and
80 1t hasnot been realized how excellent
her work IL. Technique and expression
are equally worthy and render the hand
ling of the most difficult of instruments
a pleasure to the listener. The chief In
tereat of the evening was, of course, in.
the singing Of Mrs. Will Allen, Of Mason
City, who gave the greater part OF the
program. Her voice is especially we'll
adapted to parlor singing, as 1t is sweet
rather than strong, and expressive
rather than brilliant. The acconpan-
lists were Miss Isabel Mitchem for Mrs.
Allen and Miss Mabel French for Misc
Woodbury..
