 Last Friday night at the Seminary the second of a series Of graduating recitals was given by the pupils in music and ex- pression.
 The school auditorium was crowded to overhowing on both occasions by many friends eager to hear the splendid pro- gramme which had been sent with invi- tations by the young ladies.
 Following are the names of graduates Misses Fannie Dobbs, Olivia Dorman, Hazel Hanlin, Stella Lavender, Myrtle Oldham and Clara Thomson in piano. an'l Ella Bishop, Susie Ferguson, Mae Good man, Lucille Meroney and Ellen Spears in expression.
 Every number given on both pro- grammes was well chosen and artistieally presented, both planists and readers Siv- ing selections from classics, modern classics and present day composers. The pianists played with technical accuracy, beautiful tone color and artistic interpre- taton. The readers showed not only ex- cellent training but individual taste and talent of high order and gave their se- lections with splendid voice, ease and grace So exceptionally fine was the play ing of Miss Fannie Dobbs, and also the reading of Miss Ellen Spears, that a word of individual criticism cannot be omitted. Miss Dobbs played so fiuently and with such unusual composure, versatility and exquisite tone quality that rapturous ap- plause followed her every number. Miss Spears is, indeed a gifted reader, always so natural and of such fine stage pres ence, as to evoke encores from her de- lighted hearers. The graduates all re- fleeted great credit on the excellent in struction of their alma mater and showed that their diplomas had been earned by diligent and studious application.
