(FrOm Saturdays Dauy.l

The scng recital given by Helen
Howarth Lemmel of Madison, and
Hugh E. Williams of New York, at
the First M. E. church last evening
was much enjoyed by those who
we're present. Mrs. Lemmel is we'll
known in Baraboo and her singing
last evening was fully up to the
high standard which this singer
has taught her audiences to ex-
pect. Mr.. Williams possesses a
baritone voice of unusual depth
and mellowness and his interpreta-
tion of the different numbers on
the program was most artistic.
The work of the accompanist, Miss
Eleanor Purcell of Madison, is de-
serving of special mention. Her
playing last evening called forth
many encomiums. It is to be re-
gretted that a larger audience was
not present.

The members of Pansy Rebekah

have reason to believe that Friday,
Aug. 26, was one of the most enjoy
able days in the history of the
order. Mabel lodge accepted an
invitation from Pansy lodge to hold
a joint picnic in Thomas grove in
the town of Caledonia. On arriv-
ing at the grove bounteous din
ner was served to which all did
ample Justice. After dinner the
exercises began, first on program
being a game of ball by the Por-
tage and Baraboo amatuer teams,
the Portage team winning by a
score of 9-2. The game was
much enjoyed as most of the teams
were ladies. The next number was
a vocal duet by Mrs. Carey and
Miss Mathieson. Several recita-
tions were rendered, inc uding one
by little Miss Lucy Smith of Chica-
60, which was much enjoyed by al
present. The most enjoyable tea.

ENJOYABLE
Musicale was Largely At
tended.
tFrom Wednesdays Deily.)

The musicale given under the
auspices of St. Margaret's Guild at
the home of Mrs. FL. L. Mackey,
720 Ash street, last evening was a
decided success. About $50 per-
sons we're present and from the
enthusiastic manner in which each
number of the program was re-
ceived, it was thoroughly enjoyed
by all. The spacious rooms of Mrs.
Mackey's residence were comfort
ably filled at eight o'clock, when
Prof. Thiemann of Reedsburg,
opened the program with the
List Waltz Caprice. His interpre-
tation OF this brilliant tone-poem
of the master was most artistic and
to the hearty applause which fol-
lowed, the professor gracefully re-
sponded with a second selection.
The violin numbers were contri-
buted by Mr.. Olaf Bull, a guest in
the city, and from the moment the
familiar strains of Raffs celebrated
Cavitina responded to the touch of
his bow, to his closing number, Mr..
Bull held the closest attention of
the audience. In the Spanish
Dance by Sarasate, his technique
showed to advantage, but the ex-
quisite tenderness and delicacy of
his rendition of Hauser's Cradle
Song completely won his hearers.
Mrs. Page, who is we'll known in
Baraboo, contributed several vocal
numbers with which everyone was
delighted. The little song, Wait
ing" which she gave in response to
continued encores was particularly
enjoyed.
Miss Lila North and Miss Frances
Heyer were heard in piano solos.
The former in an impromptu by
Reinhold, which she gave with a
zest and decision that elected
marked applause. She kindly re
sponded with a second number,
waltz in E minor by Chopin.
Miss Heyer's playing of the Ca
Vote by Hambourg showed sym
pathetic conception ofIthe authors
idea and in the second number,
which she offered in response to en-
cores, she was equally pleasing,
proving her versatility.
Mrs. John M. Kelley's rendition of
cat Even" by Willeby was enjoyed
by everyone. The smoothness and
exceeding ease of Mrs. KelleV's
singing is always charming. Mrs.
Lemmel of Madison, was heard in
several vocal numbers which we're
given with the usual degree of ar
tistic finish which we have learned
to expect from this gifted singer.
Mrs. Harry North was accom-
PIANIST for the violin numbers and
for the vocal selections and her
added not little to the
beauty and effect of each.
st. Margaret's Guild is to be con-
graduated that they were able to
give the music lovers of Baraboo
an opportunity to enjoy so great a
musical treat.
The grounds of Mrs MackeY's home
were brilliantly lighted with myriads
of Japanese lanterns and at the
close of the musicale, ice cream and
cake were served to those present.
