den, D. D. %
 The News of Lynchburgh, va., says of her: The musical department of Randolph Macon Woman's college en- joyed a recital last night by the gifted pianist, Miss Marie Benedict. Her program was an especially selected one. embracing as 1t did the best things of both the classic and modern composers. Her descriptions were replete with beautiful thought and poetic fancy. She was no less delightful in the lec- ture part of her evening than in the piano recital portions. Her conception Of the composers inner thought and meaning was highly poetical, and she lea her audience into an easy under standing of the beauties of her num- bers. Her touch is delightfully."- sym pathetic, and seemingly exhausted the resources of her instrument. For every phase of feeling and emotion with which her program numbers were re- plete, she had touch, tone, color, and mood cOrresponding,a and her expression was particularly effective.
