MUSICALE A
GREAT SUCCESS
Proved to be one Of the Most
Enjoyable Functions Of the
Social Season Here
A TRIUMPH FOR MISS MORSE

Miss Liela Livingston Morse, Cousin
of Miss Winslow, the Hostess,
Possesses a Voice of Great Culture.
1t was Heard to Advantage by Many
Guests Among Them Being From the
Metropolis. Tea After Musicale.
In an artistic, as well as social way,
Miss Winslow's musicale last Thurs
day was one of the most successful
functions which has ever taken place
in MorriStown. The whole arrange
ment of the entertainment was per-
feet throughout, not a point which
could contribute to the pleasure or
comfort of the guests was forgotten,
and music listened to amid such
beautiful surroundings became doubly
enjoyable. There were flowers in
abundance, the whole house being
sweet with them, and the arrange
ment being particularly happy.
The name of Mrs. Burchard who has
studied abroad for several years, the
last few in Paris, came first on the
programme. She played Mendelssohn's
The Sea-" followed by a valse of Sob
jowski's. Mrs. Burchard has fine
technique and, best of all, musical
temperament, which insures her Civ
ing pleasure to those who are fortunate
enough to hear her She had an en-
core, OF course, and great appreciation
was expressed by every one. Miss Liela
Livingston Morse, a cousin of Miss
Winslow, was the vocal soloist. Miss
Morse's voice, a pure sweet soprano,
shows great culture. She received her
training abroad, having spent several
years there, and is past mistress of
her art. With her charming manner.
unaffected and very graceful, she is
sure to be a success. The muSicales
which she has given this winter at the
Waldorf have been most successful.
Her first three songs last Thursday
were by Won Fielitz, who is one of the
most appreciated composers of the
newer German school that we have.
Miss Morse's voice showed the fine
quality and strength in the Won FielitZ
songs, while the delieacy and great
sweetness came out in the delicate
compositions of Chaminade, *Berce-
use" and Isl jetais iardiniere DIES
cieuX." Mrs. Burchard played Rus
sian Love Song and a composition OF
Schumann's most delightfully."- rousing
everyone to a point of enthusiasm.
Miss Morse sang six beautiful songs,
80 Liebliche Wangen" by Brahms,
"Since We Parted" by Allisten, "When
the Land was White with Moonlight,
E. Nevin, "My Love is Young" A.
Nevin, "a Rose" and "My Love is Like
River" by Noel Johnson. Miss
Morse's voice never tired during the
singing of these six songs and, was as
fresh when she sang the last as it was
in the first.
The afternoon was as enjoyable as
possible, the only regret being that
time had not allowed the programme
to be very much longer. Listening to
two such thorough artists in surround
ings 50 attractive made an afternoon
Of enjoyment which will be remem-
bered by all who were there as one of
the happy things of life.
After the music, tea was served in
the pretty dining room, the guests
staying until late.
