MEETING OF THE WEDNESDAY
MORNING MUSICALE

The members of the Wednesday
Morning Musicale held their regular
meeting this week at the residence of
Mrs. B. T. Perdue, instead of at the
Woman's Club rooms, which were be-
ing decorated for the reception There
was a very good attendance present
at this meeting and an interesting
program was rendered.
Several songs, choruses, etc., were
practiced by the members and three
lovely solos by Miss Bessie MacKay,
Miss Cecile Downs and Mrs. H. M.
Hampton were very much enjoyed.
All of their numbers were sweet, old
fashioned songs. and they were love-
ly.
Mrs. w. H. Powers read an inter
esting article on the life and works
of List, and Mrs. A. L. Izlar gave
some musicale notes that were most
instructive, and altogether the morn
ing's program proved quite beneficial.
