Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Cav celebrated
their twenty-first wedding anniversary
Monday evening by a musicale. in
which the program was furnished by
their gifted young daughter, MISS
Gladys Cav, who has recently return
ed from Europe, where she spent TWO
years studying the violin. About
hundred guests attended, a number or
them old friends who were present at
the ceremony q years ago, which the
party last night was given to COM
memorate, and Miss Gaw's artistic
tribute to her parents on their wedding
anniversary, was a delightful menmonic
offering. The house was decorated
with flowers of many kinds-Amerlcan
Beauty roses. carnations, etc, sent by
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Cav, as an
niversary gifts. Mrs. Cav wore
white dress of the same material as
her bridal gown. and wore in her hair
lilies of the valley, as she did on her
wedding day. Dean Horace White
house, of Washburn college, played
Miss Gaw'S accomplishments. Mr..
Whitehouse is an accompanist of un-
usual ability, and soloiStS are the first
to acknowledge that the success OF
their programs depends largely on the
pianist The program included a sonata
by CorelH, a charming bit of old-time
music. The conata form is, in reality,
a duet. in which the two instruments
are of equal Importance, and the re-
lation of the piano and violin In this
number was perfectly maintained. The
program throughout was interesting
and varied, and Miss Cav brings to her
work a fine perception, taste, and
technique seldom found in a so young
person.
The musicale at the Country club
Monday afternoon given by the Minerva
club was attended by $50 people, in
cluding members and guests. The MI
nerva club which is one of the larg-
est womens clubs in Topeka, has the
unusual feature of two departments OF
study. The membership is about equal
Iy divided between the musical and
the literary departments, though some
of the members are equally well quan-
fed for either section. The club has
a good deal of talent in its ranks and
the program yesterday was arranged
to display that talent to advantage.
There are four violinists in the CLUB:
Mrs William Davis. who is a graduate
of the Lindsborg School of Music, and
a pianist as well as a violinist, Mrs
w. F. Axtell, Miss Mae Clark, and Miss
Jessie Waller. The number Of the pro
gram that was especially well liked
was a trio by Haydn played by Miss
Mae Clark, violinist, Mr.. Sargent
Brownell, 'cellist, and Mrs. c. J. Will
son, pianist. A word of special COM
ment is due Mr.. Brownell for his part
on the program: 1t is not often thite
we hear the cello in a performance of
local musicians. for it is said to be r
difficult instrument to master, but 1t is
all the more appreciated for that rea-
SON. The number was rendered with
taste and ability and was botn unusual
and pleasing. Mrs. H. w. Putnam
gave a reading that called out good
deal of favorable comment, by the note
of originality in the manner OF It's rem
dering Miss Brunette Walters selec-
ton from Verdi, sung in the Italian,
was given with clearness and dramatic
ability. The entire program was as
