the spontaneous desire of his auditors.
Out OF compliment to Mrs. Stout her
appearance did not come until nearly
the close Of the programme, and with
her wide acquaintance in Fargo, where
she lived for many years and was
prominent in musical affairs, 1t was
natural that she was received with SO
prominent show of cordiality. Her
execution of the difficult number by
LisZt was all that could be desired.
She displayed more maturity in inter
probation than when she played in the
city year or so ago. Her technical
achievements are by no means small
and she is delightfully."- free from affect
alton, and she showed an artistic re-
gard for detail. She was recalled and
responded with a very dainty selec-
ton.
Immediately before the programme
Mrs. Dodsley expressed a cordial well
come to the visitors and extended an
invitation to those present to meet
them at the close Of the programme
and partake of refreshments which
would be served in the room adjoin-
