| The house was well filed and the audi

musical tastes.
Miss Margaret Fowler, who has oc-
caSionally appeared before the Topeka
public since last fall, is regarded as a
violinist of exceptional ability. She has
| studied abroad with some of the best
masters, and all her numbers have the
| instantly recognized touch of the fin
ished musician. She played Introduce
ton and Rondo Capriccioso'' by Saint
Saens, and 'Legende'' and "Scherzo,
| Tarantelle," by Weiniawski. Mrs. Chas.
KleinhanS played Lszt's Rapsodie No
II, and If 1t had been the only number
on the program, 1t would have been
worth the price. The technical difficult
ties of the List rapsodies bar them
| from the repertoire of a good many
amateur musicians, and to hear one OF
them as we'll played as the one rendered
by Mrs. Kleinhans, was a treat

ert Carver at the piano, sang crap

panied the violin numbers by Miss
Fowler Miss Bernice Fuller and Mrs
Ralph Skinner had a vocal duet s'The
Love of a Friend and Miss EtheIyn
played Sinding's Variations for two
pianos. Miss Harrison came to Topeka
last fall and was introduced to the
musical people of Topeka at a musicale
given by Mrs. Parkhurst, and her
talents have won a place for her al
ready among the first musicians of the
place. The other members of the
Ladies' Music club have been leaders
in musical circles in Topeka and their
ability is we'll enough known to need no
comment
