FINDER the direction of Miss Edna
lyle Modie, novel and interest
~ ing program was offered at the
Cosmos club yesterday afternoon. Miss
Modle was assisted by Mrs. Minnie
Gazzola-Love, whose beautiful soprano
voice delighted her audience, and by
Miss Laura Clayton King, who read
original verses and a short sketch.
Songs which displayed the many
beautiful qualities of the singers voice
were included in her program, and she
received much applause.
An original sketch called "Anyst of
the Woods" written and read by Miss
Laura Clayton King, proved dainty
and springllke composition, which de-
lighted the listeners. Miss King made
nice discrimination in reading the
two character parts in the sketch, and
whistling numhers-bird songs and sim
liar woodland music-interluded by
Miss Mode, served as music motives
for the characters as they were intro
duced. Miss Modie also whistled two
solos, the familiar intermezzo (Mas-
cagn) and an initiative piece, "Oh, Lit
tie Bird In all these she achieved a
distinct success.
Whimsical imageries and quaint,
childish PHILOSOPHERS were well ex-
pressed In some bits of childs verse
read by Miss King at the conclusion
of the program. This bit Is typical
from the numbers which she read
When 1 dies. my family say,
Angels will come down a sunshine way
And mark the path with sunbeams, SO

But on that day when they comes for me
Just 'spose It's pouring raln-O Gee!
