Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph f. Rnea had
a large number of friends ont to their
spacious and hospitable home, at the
corner of Alameda street and South
Kentucky avenue. last night for the
musicale which they had arranged for
the evening. Three large rooms were
seated for the guests and a fourth was
reserved for the musicians. When
all had come the musical program
was announced. and a splendid one
it proved to be.
The orchestra was composed of the
following pieces and musicians: pia-
no, Miss Bsulah Baker; violins, r. s.
COOK and Miss Martha Matheay: cla--
rinei, Roscoe Brown; flute, George
Hinson: cornet, c. A. Norvell. They
played aigh grade music and played
Il Wei at intervals during the even
ing, opening the program with SouSa's
march 'The Free Lance" and selec-
tions from The Fortune Teller" by
Nicto' Herbert. Another orchestra
selection that especially delighted the
audience later was TWO dances from
Edward Germans Henry VIII"
Mrs Robert :. Cook gave a violin
solo with her usual great success and
was twice called back for encore num-
bers. Mrs. Frederick r. Jolley pleas
ed all with her highly cultured. sweet
toned voice and responded TO encore.
r. A. 4. Cease sang for the first
time before a Roswell audience and
made splendid impression. His
voice. naturally musical, is under per-
feet control and sympathetically in
terprefs. He, also, was strongly ap-
plaude6 and was forced to give
second selection, which took as well
if not better than the first.
Miss North gave a piano compost
tion much 10 the pleasure of every
lover of good music in the audience.
Her playing was especially well re-
ceivsd among those higher in music.
The vocal solo of Miss Baker look
ed forward 10 with pleasant anticipa-
tion throughout the evening, proved
to be all that had been expected, and
again and again was she called back.
Miss Mathany gave a whistling So
10, with orchestra accompaniment
and her selection made the hit of the
evening among the gentlemen, who
claimed encore selections twice.
The orchestra closed the program
of the evening, following which came
delicious refreshments and a social
hour. The program of the evening
was voted TO be one of the best mus
ically, ever heard in Roswell. and
MIR. and Mrs. Rhea were voted to be
ent er3ainers of the highest merit, also.
