That the Country club is a delight
ful place to entertain during the sum-
mer season is such an old story that
it hardly bears repeating, but its truth
is more and more impressed with each
party given there and with every view
from the hill top. The club house
lends itself admirably to many differ
ent forms of entertainment and it's
suitability to musical affairs was DEM
onstrated Monday afternoon by the
musical given by Mrs. Silas Porter
from to 6. The reception room and
the dining room at the south of it
were used as the. audience room and
seated nearly three hundred guests.
In the bow window in the east end of
the reception room, the assisting wo-
men were seated, and the alcove at
the north end of the room was the
stage. Over the doors and windows of
the rooms were strands of green and
suspended from them clusters of GRIM
son rambler roses and from the chan
deliers and center of the doorways
were hung vases of round bouquets.
Banks of palms stood at either side of
the wide doors and at the foot of the
stairway.
The program was furnished by Mrs.
George Parkhurst, Miss Margaret
Fowler of Kansas City, Mr.. Darwin
Bradley and Miss Irene Welshans.
Mrs. Parkhurst sang "Printes Temps"
by Sterne and 'Kashmiri Song" by
Finland. Her singing always pleases,
and while the members of her au-
dience have most of them heard her
a good many times during the years
she has occupied a prominent place
among Topeka musicians, yet she is
as eagerly heard as she ever was. She
looked especially we'll yesterday in
white dress cut low in the neck with
yoke of pearl trimming, and her black
hat with it's white plumes. Miss Mar
garet Fowler played Because, by
GODDARD and violin accompaniment for
the musical readings by Miss Welsh
ans. In the short time that Miss Fow-
Ter has been in Topeka she has come
to be recognized as an artist of ex-
cellent technique and deep musical
feeling. People here are right in
considering themselves fortunate in
securing her on their programs. L
was told only a short time ago that
she is thought by Kansas City people
to be one of their best violinists. Mr..
Darwin Bradley sang Drink to Me
Only With Thine Eyes, and Roses
in June" Mr.. Bradley has been
singing before Topeka audiences for
some time, and has been especially
sought after since his part in the Elks
play and his subsequent formal in
PRODUCTION through a musical given
by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. P.
Bradley. A musical reading, Love
Letters of a Musician" by Myrtle
Reed, was Miss. Irene Welshans part
in the program. The letters told a
and despair, but with a right ending
and the Giving happy every after.
The Interpretation that Miss Welshans
gave the prose-poem was made more
impressive by the musical ACCOMPANY
ments on the piano and violin played
by Miss Ethel Frizel1 and Miss Mar
garet Fowler, including selections
fromMendelsshon and List and ending
with the Lohengrin wedding march
