The diploma recital given at Beth
any college last evening was a success,
as an enthusiastic audience emphatic
ally demonstrated. Miss Mildred Nor
ton, a Topeka girl, has hosts of friends
in town and is q pianist of no small
note Her Interpretation of LeSche-
tizky's adaptation from Lucia for the
brilliant and difficult selection to be
attempted by so young a player. Miss
Morton opened the program with Cho-
pins graceful PcIonaise, and closed it
with Deilbes' Introduction to Sylvia I;
the ballet theme running through it is
charming. and Miss Morton handled
it exceedingly we'll.
Everyone was especially interested
in Miss JIIanita Sponenbarger of Hum
boldt, Kansas, who received her di-
ploma not only from Miss Widenham,
but from Miss Abbott as well, and is
both pianist and mezzo soprano. Her
rendering of Settings 'Lorelei,'' with
its ripping ACCOMPANYING and of
Schubert's ''Erlkonig,V wherein the
gallopirg discords denote the approach
of the death king, was admirable. Miss
SpOnen oargerS greatest charm, how
ever, is her voice, which is strong, rich
in quality, and under perfect control.
''At Dav ming" and 81 Hear You Call
ing Me- were artistically given, but
Thomas my Heart Is Weary which
demands TREMENDOUS power, displayed
Miss Sponenbarger's talent and tech
nique to a remarkable degree.
If the weather permits, the May
fete will be given on Bethany campus
tomorrow evening at Z, and the public
is most cordially invited.

Sured its success, for there is no more
charming hostess in town than Mrs.
S. E. Barber. Miss Dorothy Barber,
too is exceedingly attractive, and
stood at the head of the receiving line,
on the veranda. The broad lawns and
long piazza furnished an ideal place
for a garden party, and the Jap Ian
terms strung on wire, and even swing
ing among the trees were extremely
