 This week and last have been full to the brim with the commencement ex- ercises of the various schools of music, these following hard upon the closing of schools and colleges. There Is hardly family that has not been interested in some one of them, for where Is the family that 1t wholly without musical tall ent? Almost every one has a little tot or larger boy or girl that has arrived at the dignity of executing his or her master piece before an audience so that these final recitals are really of the broadest
 interest. Among the earliest to take place this season may be mentioned that
 of Mrs. Harriette ONeil who left al- most immediately afterwards for New
 York, her work for the year being com pleted in May so that this early departure might be possible. Mrs. Marie Kern Mullen followed Mrs. o'Neil in her com mencement exercises and like her achieved much success in the character of her re- cital and she, too, has left town to be away all summer. Miss Annie Lou Wood. & younger teacher, gave her clos ing recital this week. her pupils reflect lnS SIedL CrSull upOH neT. MI. 1. O Friermoods recitals have been among the pleasant musical events Of the win ter.
 An appreciative audience heard the commencement programme given at Mrs. J. S. Bridges school of music this week the Fletcher school-and marveled at the artistic manner in which even the little people gave their selections.
 The public attended MT. and Mrs. Will liam Gussens pupils recitals at the Con
 seryatory of Music as 1t would an ad
 vertised musical treat given by profess
 sionals. They have an immense class and some advanced students who play in
 a really masterful style. The final re- cital took place last evening and was att tended by number of musical people There were several certificate pupils. A closing recital that had the most de- lightful social aspect was that of Miss
 Daisy Woodruff Rowley. It was the
 final one in 8 series of programmes. Fol lowing the plano numbers several splen did selections were given by Mir. J. B.
 Luclkie, a young vocalist of great prom ise. and by Mrs. Willie Drennen Rus sell, who. playing her own accompani- | ments. gave a group of deliciously witty l! songs in recitation, and interspersed them with those of a pathetic nature. The audience was quite captivated. MT. Wal | ter Drennen sang several numbers in his l splendid style.
 The recital was very like a private
 musicale. The guests at the close of the evening were served with a salad
 course and a delicious fruit punch. The studios in the Watts building were placed at the disposal of Miss Rowley for the occasion, but the pro- gramme took place in her own. She was an excellent hostess and a very hand
