the Junger Maennerchor. Miss Maude
Gschwindt then recited Goodnight,
Papa" and was loudly applauded.

Dream of YOU" in his rich tenor voice,

the Junger Maennerchor sang "Das
Alte Muetterchen," one of the concert

Ger" was next given by Miss Anna
and Charles Berghauser who were also
greeted with tremendous applause. A
quartette, which was composed of
Gus Reppert, Fred Heinz, Otto Robin
son and Charles G. Lewert, then sang
a. DiedSluS composition, emitted 'Du
Bist Mein Traum in Stiller Nacht"
The next number was a duet which
was sung by William Burke and Will
lam Lynett in an acceptable manner,
after which the Junger Maennerchor
rendered "Mutterliche" and Der
Barde," and were followed by William
Lynott with a baritone solo. Misses
Maude and May Gschwindt then sang
When Papa Comes Home Tonight"
and the Junger Maennerchor followed
with a song, entitled I'm Elmer Sturm-
nacht"

concluded this most interesting pro-
| gramme, and was enjoyed by all. A
dance followed, and the Maennerchor
boys and their friends tripped the light
fantastic until an early morning hour
The affair was well arranged, and re-
fleets much credit on the young men in
charge. A handsome sum was realized,
which will be added to the expense
