| GAN EVENING WITH THE CHOIR" The
musicale given by the members of the North
CONGREGATIONAL church choir at the home of
Miss Amy E. Stoddard Wednesday evening
October 21st, was success from every point
of view. Promptly at o'clock, the audience,
which was very comfortably accommodated in
the spacious parlor, music room and the ad-
Joining room, heard the opening number on
the program-a trio, which was delightfully."-
rendered by Miss Katherine C. Quimby, Miss
Caro- Hatch and Mr.. John Parker. Miss
! Quimbys solo followed and was of the
treats of the evening. She sang Tosti's Ser
enata' in Italian, and gave very pretty little
Scotch song with Mae Dearie.' Mr.. Parker
sang Cavatna from Faust in his usual fine
form, and as an encore sang what have. y
Miss Amy f. Stoddard played Rats Mnuet
from suite in E minor very billantly, and her
encore, the Shadow Dance by Mcdowell, was

Hatch's solo, 1.-The Shoogy- Shoo," by May
hew, seemed especially suited to her sweet
voice as was also her encore Little Boy
Blue" Mr.. Parkers rendering of Schuberts

ing, and the audience regretted that he did
not respond to an encore. Miss Stoddards next
selection, 'Valse Brillante in A fat" by
Chopin, was played with characteristic finish
and feeling. AS an encore she gave "Elsa's
Dream" from Lohengrin. duet number,
when Life is Brightest by Misses Quimby
and Hatch, was most pleasing, as their voices
were especially we'll blended and they were
obliged to repeat a part of their selection az
an encore. The program closed with g. solo

Parker, who completely captivated his audi
ence and who has evidently inherited his
fathers musical talent and ability. Mr.. Par

and worked so hard toward its success, Miss
