In the midst of busy shopping time.
and a steamer day to boot, about fifty
ladies sat enraptured for over an hour
on Wednesday morning at Mrs. Won
Hollis and listened to a Grieg me-
mortal program given by the ladies'
musical club, recently named the
Morning Music Club. This club num-
bers about twenty-five, and at this
matinee each member was allowed to
invite one friend. This is very lovely
of the ladies composing this club. But
as We sat and listened to the really
excellent work done, and as we hear
from time to time of other excellent
programs given-in fact, see the pro-
grams occasionally printed-we van
not help wishing that the members
were a bit more generous and gave
oftener open meetings. 1t made us
who are not, members realize how
really much we miss and how much
the ladies who are members must re-
ceive of inspiration and incentive, to
say nothing of enjoyment.
To US the program was so very in
teresting and so keenly enjoyed that
TO specify cne number over the other
would be difficult. A great treat it
certainly was to have Mrs. Allen

taneous applause after her first three

appreciated. She sang for an encore

by Mrs Hitchcock. This was certainly
the most pretentious thing on the
program and it was wonderfully exc
cuted and beautifully interpreted. The
two ladies certainly show much study
and faithful work. 1t was far above
what some people are pleased to term
amateur work.
Miss Hopper gave an interesting and
well-worded paper on Grieg before
the musical part of the program COM
menced. Grieg's recent death called
forth this memorial concert by the
club, and all those who were favored
with an invitation certainly feel very
grateful to the members for an oppor-
tunity of attending. Aside from the
piano numbers and the two numbers
