Harris, were the three bright little stars of the musicale and their friends to the number of several scores, heard their charming programme.
 It was an al fresco recital, Mrs. Rivers having arranged the chairs on her lawn in the semblance of an outdoor concert hall with the veranda as a stage for the pianos. The balcony and garden were lighted with incandescent bulbs placed there for the evening.
 The programme was in three parts and presented entirely by these three talented pupils of Mrs Rivers. The first group of eight numbers was given by little Miss Josephine Harris and included six of her own tuneful little compositions. the 'Toreador," from Carmen" and a min uet by Beethoven.
 Tiny Tot Wilson played next, giving with inimitable charm a little dance, "Frowsyhead, by Story. 'The Rain Pit terpatters," by Dutton, and two descrp-
