MRS. sTAMRAUeH's RECITAL.


Gave Dainty Programme of Own
Verse and Music.
A goodly number of lovers of music
assembled last night at Stones audi
torium to hear Mrs. w. S.. Stambaugh,
soprano. in a programme Of her own
verse and music. There were some
numbers the verse OF which was pen
ned by other writer's, but the music
by the singer. Accomplishments to
three of the numbers, Life, Toast and
Doubt were written by DR.. c. S. Put
nam and Fl. c.. Anheier. Very useful
to the audience were the interpreta-
tons of the verse, a themes of the
different groups given by william
Ballou and into no better hands could
such a duty be placed.
Mrs. Stambaugh was delightfully."-
accompanied by Miss Bertha Hagen
who was in perfect sympathy with
the singer throughout the whole of
the programme. During the evening
Miss Hagen contributed a piano num-
Der, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
Her work was tonally beautiful,
tasteful in shading, phrasing and ex-
preston and satisfying in her inter
probation.
Mrs. Stambaugh was in splendid
voice and she sang with a surety of
intelligence and feeling and she dem
onstrated that she was in love with
her work. She and her accompanist
were made recipients of beautiful bou-
quets. The interpretation of Oppor-
tunity was especially pleasing to the
audience.
A delightful feature of the pro-
grarnme was the presentation of
Weekles' May Song, and dance by
five little girls, dressed in white,
Adele Bowling, Doris Lowell, Mary
Bowling, Kathleen Grice and Vir-
ginia Bowling, the dance being ar
ranged by Miss Poppler. The grace
and ease displayed by the girls were
admirable and the execution of the
different steps and music was charm
ingly done.
Scott Stambaugh received the ar
irving guests and the latter were
shown to seats by Katherine Hunt.
The gown worn by the singer was of
~manquisette owe white brocade and
heavy lace.
