WOMAN'S CLUB
CONCERT A
GREAT SUCCESS

That Yerington is so well pr,wid-
ed with musicians was Il surprise to
many who attended the concert given
by the Womans Club last Saturday
evening.
The program, though long, was va
ried and excellent and contained num-
bers of great merit Some voices new
to Yerington audiences were heard
Mrs. Ray Somers in a group of songs
and Mrs. Gelder who has sung here
but once before, were delightful Mrs.
Reymers was gracious and pleasing in
two German songs. Miss Carroll and
Miss Snyder are always welcomed.
The childrcns' voices were sweet in
selections from the Mikado and in
separate songs. Those taking part
were the Misses Lorraine Ross, Ber-
dred Leavitt
Mrs. Phipps and Mrs. Kline gave
splendid selections from Carmen"
Later Mrs. Kline gave, with great
skill, difficult composition for the
left hand alone.
The Harmony Glee Club sang WELL
This organization would do credit to
any city and are always appreciated.
They have accomplished much under
their inspiring director, Mr.. Rick
seeker. The male quartette were
happy in their selections and are good
singers. We were glad to hear once
more the clear sweet voices of Mrs.
Howe who sarg alone and in duet
with her daughter, Mrs. Yerington, of
Goldheld. Miss Sybil Howe gave
reading from Van Dyke with her usual
clear and sympathetic expression. MIR.
Durand always gives us good music
on his violin
The most striking number on the
Boelich, of Washington, ID. c., who
is visiting her mother. Mrs. Eugene
Greenwood Mrs. Boelich gave three
piano numbers and an encore with
such esae and excellence it was indeed
an inspiration to hear her. The Wo-
mans Club were most fortunate to
have placed their concert during her
sojourn here.
The evenings program closed with
song by Mr.. Kline, whom one never
hears without wishing to hear again
and again.
During the social half hour after the
regular program Miss Whitman sang
Refreshments were served by Mes
danes Beatty. Hull. Snyder, Whit
man, Leverich and Plummer. About
one hundred club members and
