al the week was the concert on Friday
evening at Hancock hall. The house
was packed, every seat was sold, and as
many extras were put In ~ the authorities
dared to allow, and every available foot Of
standing room was occupied.

rated hall, the beautiful gowns Of the
women, and the atmosphere Of good feel

combined to make striking picture and .
scene one long to be remembered.

this concert is that every participant was

daughter of the Late Stephen Monaghan,
and sister of Charles E. Monaghan,
whose orchestra of ten pieces made such
excellent music throughout the week.

position in this musical world.
