MRS. SMITH GIVES
A SONG RECITAL

Few soloists that have entertained
waterville folks who like music of
the better sort have left the platform,
richer in the possession, than Miss
Ethelynde Smith, soprano, who gave
song recital Tuesday evening at the
Congregational church, under the aus
pices of the Senior class of. the wom-
ems division of Colby College.
The church was well filled, consid-
ering the small amount of advertising
the event had been given. For the most
part the audience consisted of the mu-
steal element of the city. Those who
came with the expectation of hearing
a soprano Of just ordinary ability were
pleasantly surprised, for Miss Smith
in her long list of songs proved her
self a beautiful singer with person
atty that Is unusually attractive.
Miss Mary Seiders acted as accom-
PIANIST, and to her no little credit Is
due for the general success of the
concert. More should have known
what a splendid musicah treat was IN
store for Waterville.
