\ DELIGHTFUL CONCERT. The recital
given by the Parlor Musical Society in Odd
Fellows Wednesday evening, January 9th,
was one of the most pleasing concerts that
a Belfast audience has had the pleasure of
listening to for some time. The program,
which was varied one, was presented SUBJ
tantially as printed in The Journal two
weeks ago, and every number was heartily
enjoyed by the audience. The solos by
Mrs. Clarence T. Read. Miss Marian Wells,
Mrs. c. W. Wescott and Mr. E. S. Pitcher
were rendered most successfully by those
well known singers, and one of the audi
ence remarked that they had never sung
better. Mrs. Reads song was the Carol of
Spring Waltz, by Bailey, and it was very
taking,as was her encore. Miss Wells gave
Dudley Bucks ''Shadow Land" in her best
style, with the popular 'Cradle Song for
an encore. Mrs. NeScott sang "ASthore" by
Trotere, making decided hit with the audi
ence, who were further delighted when she
gave IN ighty lax a Rose" as her encore.
Mr.. Pitchers selection, Monotone was
His encore, soft to Philadelphy in the Morn
in" was particularly striking contrast to
his first selection. The Instrumental num-
| bers-the opening duet, Memberships

Gladys Pitcher and Ethola Frost; Miss
Louise Dement'S solo, Gavotte by Ten
Brink, aud Mozart's Concerto in D, by Miss
Helen NJ. Dunton, with Miss Mary E.
Faunce at the second piano, were all listen
ed to with pleasure and interest The
chorus of the society was heard in public
for the first time in "a Vision," by Mem
/ twlch, which they sang most successfully.
The closing number. which was one of the
features of the evening, was the singing of
