Mrs. FuIton's Recital.

'Tis ever a JOY to witness the per
Torrance of children. They are the
greatest blessing to mans life. This
was never more fully realized than IL
was Friday evening at the home OF
Mr. and Mrs. H. o. Fulton, when Mrs
Fulton's piano pupils assisted by Miss
Dorothy Parke Fulton on the violin,
gave their annual recital. Each per-
former was thoroughly imbued with
the spirit of the occasion and its soul
was in the piece rendered. To say
that the work accomplished by these
little tots wa admiral would
be expressing it feebly. Each
performer displayed a talent
that bordered on the wonderful
for child of it's age. The precision
with which they played and the tech
mic and harmony of sound and tone
was pleasing to the trained musical
ear, and reflected deserved credit
on the teacher. The program rendered
would be even difficult one to a
class of much more advanced years,
and the playing of such pieces as
Dance of the Gnomes" by Poldini.
"Volkslied" by Schumann; Sonata
op. 26" by Beethoven and many 9TH
ers of difficult composition shows the
finished way in which the pupil has
been instructed. The musical was a
rare treat indeed-a musical feast.
The Fulton home was artistically
decorated with potted plants and cut
flowers and lighted with many waxen
tapers. Mrs. Fulton was attractively
gowned and was assisted by Mr.. H. o.
Fulton. who was attired in full even
ing dress. After the completion OF
the program an ice course was served.
