"Sonnets to a Wife," by Ernest Nc
Gaffey, was issued in 1901, the thirty
fifth sonnet was as follows:

The Thursday Musical met Friday
afternoon in the Commercial club
rooms instead of Thursday, as is their
wont, on account of the holding of the
drainage convention. A splendid pro-
gram was rendered of Chaminade
alone, the principal vocal selections
being given by Mrs. Fitzgerald, who
has pleasing contralto. Mrs. Emmett
w. Fuller and Mr., Pease rendered the
'Angelus" as duet and their voices
blended .charmingly.
