folk songs Of several nations, choice
selections from modern German and
American composers and rOllicking
sailor songs, while for encOres they

ditties that made the audience laugh
and shout for more. The readings OF
Edwin alternated between pathetic and
humorous, and were splendidly given.
The first two mum berS by the quar-

Calls In the Woods" examples of the
modern German school OF composition.

Of the Valley" an Austrian melody, and
"The Bonnie Brier Bush" one Of the

compositions Of the old days.
Edwin Whitney then read very
clever little selection entitled Pro and
Con" in which a young man argues
with himself as to whether ne shall
marry or not, and, for an encore, ne
gave some facts about himself and his
brothers and their families, in hui
mOrOuS manner.
