the directors of the home were fOrtu-
nate in securing the services of the
two gifted young women who gave a
large amount of time and their best
efforts TO make the affair a success.
Miss Mary Hortense Kimball and Miss
Sybella White clayton carried out an
elaborate program in a manner that
justified the welcome extended them
by the large audience. And since its is
a rare occasion that brings Willard

Miss ClaytOn's Work.
In "Gebet der Elizabeth" Miss
Kimball's voice was heard at its best,
and she interpreted the music with

Miss ClaytOn's program was not cal
