In honor Of the queen the musical
numbers were given; being an

four young women in white, Olga Ar
mold, Leona Weidner, Elsie Glaze and
/ Lucille st. Pierre who assisted in the
program, playing excellently Mendel-
ssohn's Spring Song" on two pianos.
Natures Song" by a chorus of thir-
teen was well given. Following this
came the bird girls in colored cos

gers. Little Maycel Hunter in yell
low fluffy skirts sang of the butter
cup and was recalled for encore. This
child is six years of age and will play
in duet with Miss Weller at the June
recital. In Woodland Echoes" beau
tiful bird notes were brought from
two pianos by Ethel Mulligan, Fay
Bean, Anna Miles and Lois Miles.
One of the sweetest numbers on the
program was Apple Blossoms" a re-
citation by Esthe r Erickson with
Miss Weller's piano accompaniment.
In charm of voice and manner, this
dainty reading was given. In re-
spending with encore, an attractive
little episode occurred which placed
the audience in delightful mood. The
costume of Isola Smith as butterfly
was perhaps the most elaborate and
beautiful among many pretty ones.
AS she played the big white and gold
gauze wings waved gracefully and
long gold antennae from the gauge
head piece, nodded an accompany

terfly" was beautifully executed and
pleased the audience.
Little Bird" and Norwegian
Dance" given in splendid manner by
Margaret Rodgers was genuine
treat. This young girl is talented and
can make a place for herself among
| best of musicians. In the closing Sc
lection, "Semiramide Overture" the
work seemed best of all; each part
rang clear and true and all played
with perfect accent and confidence.
This by Isola Smith, Leona Weidmer,
Margaret Rodgers and Myrtle King
on two pianos was enthusiastically
received. The music in the recital
was given without the aid of notes
and if there were errors committed
they were so insignificant as to re-
main unnoticed.
A miscellaneous shower was given
last Monday in Sleeves hall honor
ing Miss Edna Holman, a bride-elect,
whose marriage takes place in early
June, Miss Holman is a member Of
the Degree of Honor lodge and was
escorted to the altar by Mrs. Swartz

came as a surprise to Miss Holman.
