tive rendition of the difficult accom-
paniments of these songs and others
on the program. Mr.. Ellis has a
voice Of delightful quality which he
uses with marked expressive power,
and his appearance, entirely without
preparation, yesterday afternoon was an
artistic achievement, as well as evil
dencing a spirit of helpfulness which
the members of the club appreciated
most heartily.

his eastern trip with particular stress
upon the advertising qualities which
made a city known for its best points.

Press club the value of pointing the
way constantly toward the very high
est work in artistic and educational
attainment, and showed the need OF
the publicity which would make Los
Angeles known for those features
which make 1t an admirable place for
a home.
Punch was served after the pro-
gram, and the members of the social
committee formed an informal re-
ceiving party to greet the many new
members who were present, and also
the guests who enjoyed the program.
Mrs. d. c. McCan, who presided
over the meeting and introduced the
speakers, announced the resignation of
the treasurer, Mrs. A. A. Stowe, due
to i'll health, and which the execu-
tive board accepts regretfully, appre-
ciating the earnest service and con-
stant interest with which Mrs. Stowe
has served the club.

NUNS was presented by Mrs McCan
