l"Ganzonetta" by Friml, was given in
such perfect musical technic and
tone that her hearers were determin-
ed in their call for an encore and
the dainty little player was forced to
come back and play part of the
number the second time.
While the playing of these Older
pupils was all that lover of music
could desire and was greatly appreci-
ated by the whole audience, still
there is hardly doubt if they were
any more appreciated than were the
first year pupils in their efforts.
The first of these on the program
was little Miss Inez Barker and her
rendition Of Ludwig Mendelssohn's
'Cavatine" with only one rehearsal
since the Christmas holidays, shows
a remarkable memory on the part of
the little performer. Little Miss Lou
Use Jones gave as her number De-
muth's Waltz Caprice, and showed
splendid Interpretation of the num-
ber Possibly one of the most enjoy
ed features of the evening was the
wonderful performance of little Lou
Use Dorch. Possibly eight years of
age and she played Verdis Back to
Our Mountains" from II Trovatore
and the "Intermezzo from Cavallera
Rusti"ana, by Mascagni, with such
precision and accuracy, bringing out
the notes in remarkable volume and
giving tones that many pupils of
more than twice her experience fail
20 give AT the conclusion of the
two number she was called back and
gave the Intermezzo the second time.
This remarkable little girl gives
promise of making a musician of
note.

Mrs. Harkreader's Puplls.


One of the most pleasing affairs
Of the commencement at the Column
bia Institute was the violin recital
given Tuesday evening in the recrea-
ton hall by Mrs. Harkreader's pu-
pills. The occasion was one of much
consequence to many present. Mrs.
Harkreader's most advanced pupils,
Misses Dorothy Fulton, LeonorS Will
hanson and Zulema Brownlow, &C
quilted themselves in a way that won
higa distinction for them as musi-
clans. They gave three trios, and
the second or middle number was a
grand treat The number was AN
dante from Surprise Symphane," by
Haydn. The last number, "Ballata, I"
by Papini, was also a real musical
treat These three young ladies re-
iiectcd great credit upon their talent
ed and most gifted teacher. Miss
Dorothy Fulton, one of Columbia's
muicsl fayorites, was down for only
one solo, and her rendition of the

parts with corresponding delicacy
Her rendition of this number was
remarkable and shows that a bril-
liant lnusical future is In store for
her.
Miss Eula Whatley, accompanied
oy Miss Powell, her teacher, gave
splendid rendition of the first
movement of the Mozart concerto in
A, and a masterful reading of the
Reinecke cadence. In contrast to
this number her group of more mod
ern composers shows to marked
degree her unusual diversity of inter
pref Ition.
Her touch is strong and accurate.

Domestic science Exhibitlon.


The Domestic Science Department
of the Columbia Institute gave a
most creditable exhibition last Fri
day afternoon. The final examina
ton of the pupils before Mr. and
Mrs. Capero and the faculty. Many
questions concerning the chemistry
and preparations of food especially
the value of different parts of food
articles, were asked and the young
ladies showed that they had acquir-
cd a world of useful information con-
cernipg them. After the eXamina-
lions it was agreed that Misses Evy-
Ign Mitchell Annie Richardson and
Mary Dotey had tied for the medal.
On drawing for the prize Miss Nit
Cheli won. The medal has been
given by Mrs. Hardin P. Figuers and
is a much coveted prize. Mrs. Willis
Jones presented to the department
a magnificent coffee percolator, with
cups, sugar bowl, cream pitcher and
an exquisite waiter.
Appreciated visitors to the examin-
atoms were Mrs. Fisher, of Mem
phis, Mrs. Willis Jones, Mrs. Mary
fowler, Mrs Walter P. Woodbridge,
and Mrs. Hardin P. Figuers. A de-
hghtful menu was served. Mr.. and
Mrs Capers both expressed glatifi-
cation at the progress shown by the
pupils n the theory and practice Of

Miss Powel's Pupils.
The recital at the Columbia Insti-
tute Saturday evening by the piano
pupils of Miss Malta Powell, assist
ed hy the voice pupils of Miss Helen
Knox Spain, was a Commencement
event decidedly pleasing, for the ar
} tistic qualities which it revealed.
! The program was of an arrangement
to charmingly combine the effect of
appealing beauty of melody with dis
linctive advantage for display of
out TO a decidedly creditable degree,
both emotional and technical inter-
probation impaired by accomplished
instructors.
Pianaforte numbers of exquisite
rendition We're given by Misses
lWhatley and Angela Powell. Miss
-Whatley displays the truly artistic
temperament, and rendered her
numbers with finish and high con-
ception of music. Miss Angela Pow
ellis playing had expression of rare
beauty, her touch producing the soul |
full melody that belongs to the real
ly gifted. Her showing was all the |
ilore remarkable for the unusual ad- |
vancement made during compare
lively short term OF study.
Little Miss Laura Molloy was the |
youngest performer, though her
rendition of the Serenade by Shu-
bert would have done credit to a |
more advanced pupil
A particularly striking instrument
tai number was the quartette ar
rangement of the Lustpiel Overture,
given by Misses Shelby, Williams,
Fox. and Capers In this, each per-
former contributed for perfection
in movement, producing an orcnes-
tlai effect, beautiful in tone shading
and elimaxes.
The voices of Misses Rollwage
and Sicily were heard to artistic
advantage in the duet, Harp, Of the
Wind" in which was charming ex-
pl ession and exquisite blending.
Thine Eyes So Blue" was another
vocal number sung by Miss Verna
Skelly, who undoubtedly possesses !;
a voice of rare natural beauty and
promise.

WHO is SANTA CLAUS?

NY little child crawls in my lap
And asks, as children will,
Who is this Santa Claus, mayhap,
AS / am asking still.
| wonder, little one, ! say,
AS much as you do, dear;
He must be very fat and gay,
And must be very queer.
I watch the eyes my little child
Turns to me, half in doubt,
But how can one, | ask my heart,
Put life's illusions out?
All, no, cannot tell, my dear,
Who Santa is, but you
Will understand some day when your
Own little child asks you!
| could not tell him that which breaks
The bubbles round US blown;
l could not tell him that which makes
The sweetest dream e'er known
The tenderest illusion born
To make our children know
The magic of the fairy morn,
When hearts with fairy glow.
Who is he? DER and Ger he asks,
| cannot tell, say
Because I know that he will know
Too well, toe well some day.
Oh, let him keep his little thought
AS long as it will last
To sweeten every memory brought
From out life's golden past!

rented offices in the Pleasantville
Trust Co. building and are preparing
for incorporation and disposal of the
stock. Their purpose is as stated
first, to sufficiently supply the much
needed demand for ice. A necessity
which in the past has been unable to
be coped with on account of the in
sufficient supply. Second, to furnish
ice far below the present cost. Third,
to make this ice under the most i'm
proved and sanitary methods known.
Fourth, with our home plant centrally
located and improved roads and high
ways it will make it possible to re-
ceive your ice on time, condition un-
known in the past.
They further propose to establish a
Coal Yard in connection with the Ice
Plant.
A. Frank Stiegler has made care
ful study of this subject in various
parts of the country and has fully ac-
uuainted himself with all conditions.
He expects to take over the entire
management of the company and with

SIX STARS IN A NEW COMEDY.
Laura Hope Crews and H. B. Warner
Are at Head Of List In
"BIackbirds."

"Blackbirds," the new comedy
Henry Miller will present at Nixon's
Apollo for three days engagement
beginning Thursday night, December
5, will be interpreted by the most i'm
posing cast of players of this and ma
ny other seasons. The company,
which is headed by the co-stars, Lau-
ra Hope Crews and H. B. Warner, in
cludes: Sydney Valentine, Nine. Ma
thilde Cottrelly, Bertha Welby, T. Y.
Backus, Ethel Winthrop and Jean
Galbreith. Every member of the cast
is famous player and has been iden-
titled with one or more of the biggest
successes produced in America and
England in recent years. The CO.
starring arrangement for the new
play is particularly interesting. 1t is
Miss Crews first appearance as star
under Henry Miller's engagement.
Mr. Warner comes into the alliance
by an arrangement made by Henry
Miller with George C. Tyler, of Leib-
Ter & Company. Mr. Warner will be
remembered here for his wonderfully
clever work as the star of "Alias jim
my Valentine" last season. "Black-
birds" is smart comedy and deserves
the brilliant cast which Henry Miller
has assembled for it's presentation.
The mountings are particularly elab-
crate and form production which
Henry Miller ranks as his finest
achievement since he began to pro-
duce plays fifteen years ago.
