Mrs. Frank P. MacLennan asked a
small company for Thursday afternoon
to meet Miss Margaret Fowler anu
Miss Helen Fowler of Kansas City, two
talented young girl musicians who
spent the day with her. Miss Margaret
Fowler is a really remarkable y1ol1n1St,
a pupil of Chaumont and Ysaye, and
her program elected much enthusiasm
from Mrs. MacLennan'S guests, largely
from the musical set, who heard her
yesterday. Her sister, who accompanies
her, also studied in Europe, with
Bosquet and Laoureux, and is a pianist
of much promise, but appeared only as
accompanist at Mrs MacLennan's The
Misses Fowler have lived in Kansas
City always. except for the five years
they spent in school in Europe, and the
young violinist's first teacher was
Francois Boucher. Perhaps every one
VINO met ner yesterday LOT Luo HTS
time was a good bit surprised in the
genius of this mere slip of a girl who
looks not a minute over nineteen and
whose pretty, shy, girlish ways are so
charming, especially after one has
heard her play and noted her astonish-
ing technical and intellectual grasp of
her art and the poetry and passion
which informs her interpretations.
Miss Fowler may organize a class here,
and now would seem to be propitious
time for this project as three violinists
have recently left Topeka Mr.. Carlton
Wood, Miss Irn1a -Doster and Miss
Esther Watts, in which case she viii
probably be here good bit this win
ter and people will have other oppor-
tunities to hear her. The program
which she gave yesterday included the
Allegro movement from Tartini's D
minor Concerto, a Romance by Swend-
son. Herbert's CanZonetta, three Wien
iaski numbers Legende a Mazurka
and a Tarantelle, and Grieg's Cradle
Song.
BY special arrangement the Country
club cars will run straight through
from the transfer station to the club
for the Halloween party tomorrow
night, without the usual transfer at the
end of the Quinton Heights line. The
party promises to be a brilliant sue
cess. Everybody Is going and the typi-
cal Halloween decorations, and the
rustic costumes which the company
will wear. will combine to make an ex-
ceptionally gay and pretty party. 1t is
hoped everyone will attend in costume
Jumpers, overalls, sunbonnets, aprons,
and all that sort of thing and con-
tribute to the picturesque effect.
