CLUB NO 7 ES
THE WEEKS REVIEW

Berlin, now of Lincoln. gave a most
delightful concert at the Congrega-
tional church under the auspices of the
WOmans Club of this place. The pro-
gram of the evening was varied and
pleasing, and gave the singer an oppor-
tunity TO display the power and sweet
ness of her voice. Miss Gericke has
vocal class in this city, and her work
is highly appreciated by her pupils
She was assisted in the evening pro-
gram by three members of her class
Miss nellie GiVens, Miss Bess Anderson
and Mrs. w. f. Langworthy. Miss
Mertie Anderson accompanied the
mezzo soprano, and her charming per-
sonality, added much to the enter
tainment. After the concert a recep-
tion was held at the spacious home of
Mrs. Herman Diers, where frien l.
were given an opportunity to meet
Miss Gericke. The lovely dining room
was made more attractive by special
decorations in the club colors and light
refreshments We're served.

The program at the Matinee Musi-
Gale Monday was a brilliant one as is
apt to be the case when opera music is
presented. The third division Mrs. f.
Lewis Baker and Miss Givens leaders,
was on the stage but as Miss Givens
left town two weeks ago the RESPONSE
