Dear Sir: Kindly that
the Browning celebration to be held
this Tuesday evening, May Z, at
O'Clock, will take place in Music Hall
instead of the Gordon Hotel as pre-
viously stated; and also that all who
may be interested are invited to at
tend. The music for the program will
be given by Mrs. William Montgom-
cry, Miss E. Shackford, Miss Ruth
Mouton, Mr.. and Mrs. Vavasseur
Mouton and their daughter, Miss Pa
ola; and the literary part by Mrs. F.
IL. Davis ("Pippa Passes }, Mrs. A. B.

E. Nusz ("De Gustibus-"), Miss
Edith Garland Dupre ("The Ring and

Permit me to add that the poetry
of Robert Browning has long been an
enthusiasm with me, and l have Of
ten wished, like all who enjoy any
good thing. to pass it along to my
friends; but we have always been so
busy with the industrial side of u
life and work that we have scarcely
been able to raise Central for the
communication of these deeper de-
lights of the mind. Browning is a
difficult poet to read at first, and
every beginner will be Disguised n

way; but once started on the right
track, few readers will fail to get un-

poets-save only Shakespeare. There
fore it seems to me prominently fit
ting that those who have a Browning
interest should choose at least this
one day, May Z, 1912, the Tooth ami
