rent musical events Yesterday afternoon
at the bi-mcnthly meeting of the Schu-
bert club. Among other things Mrs. Sew
erance stated that she thought the Schu-
bert club should undertake vigorous
campaign against ragtime. She charac-
terized the popular syncopated measure
as being demoralizing and immoral
when even the compositions of Bach
and Chopin are beng played in rag
time, remarked the speaker, 1T is time
that musicians should call a halt
Miss Minnie X Bailey, who represented
the Schubert club at the recent meet
ing of the State Federation of Women's
clubs at Owatonna, gave an interesting
report of the federation's work. She con-
fessed that she could not see how the
Schubert club, or any other musical club
for that matter was benehted IN the
least by being members of the state fed
Grafton But, she added, this was large
w the musical clubs fault. They should
send their most energetic members to
represent them-women who appreciated
music i'll it's broadesI sense. The clubs
should also see the speaker added, that
they were well represented on the various
committees.
An unusually attractive programme
was presented yesterday. A quartette,
composed of Mrs. Newson, Mrs. d. +.
Colville, Mrs. William Dixon and Mrs.
O'Meara sang For YOU Harris, and
s'The Fisher" Parker. The quartette is
a musical and well balanced one, and Its
selections yesterday were well received,
Mrs. Warren played two piano numbers
a gavotte by Rogers and an etude by
Foote The players evident nervousness
detracted from the success of both num-
bers although the nervousness did not
entirely conceal the fact that Mrs. " var
rem possesses undoubted talent. Mrs.
Charles 20 Kreiger, who is one OF the
Schubert clubs favorites, sang with her
usual success four numbers, ShadoW,
Osgood: IF / Knew" Gaynor, and "Au-
tumn Sadness and my Rosary, Nevln.
Miss Bessie Godkin gave brilliant read
ing of MacDowelrs Witches Dance
and an interesting one of the same COM
poser's .'Barcarolle." Mrs. Newson sang
two numbers of Chadwick 81 Said TO
the Wind of the South and 'Sings the
Nightingale to the Rose" in a very sat-
isfactory manner. Miss Zenzius and Mrs.
Curtis played two movements from the
{ MaeDowell concerto (Op 15), the Andant
iran Quillo and Presto. Both movements
were given characteristic and brilliant
interpretations.
