Y0tNE ARTISTS DELIGHT IN RE-
CITAI.

Miss Carol Robinson, pianist and
Alexander Gray, baritone, in joint re
cital At the New Harper yesterday af-
.ternoon delighted with an exceptional
ly good program, members of the Rock
Island Musical club and their guests at
the second Of the complimentary con-
certs Of the season. Miss Robinson
gave quite & pretentious program but
her hesrers were impressed with the
fact that it was not too big for her and
she acquitted herself most credibly.
She has technic that is exceptionally
fine and plenty Of it, but at no time
does she allow technic to 0yershadow
the other qualities that GO to make up
good piano playing. She has plenty
of power, an excellent tone and keen
appreciation of the demands Of the
composition. Miss Robinson's big num-
Der on the program was a prelude,
choral and fugue by Cesar Franck in
which composition she displayed all
the fine understanding Of a real artist,
her technic was good and her playing
was absolutely clear with never a
blurred passage, due probably to her
correct pedaling, Two etudes by Bort
/ kiewiez, two Mcdowell numbers
Winter" and 'B'rer Rabbit" and a
/ -Bourree Fantasque' by Chabrier were
/ played brilliantly, with fine phrasing
and good tonal quality. Miss Robin
son is still d very young woman and
! her future has great promise. She was
one Of the prize winners in the cen
trail district composed OF eight states
Z in the contest conducted by the Ma
itional Federation of Musical clubs
playing before that body at the bien-
NAL in Los Angeles during the past
summer
MIR. Gray likewise pleased immense
I iy with his vocal numbers, Miss Rob-
iuson acting as accompanist. Espec-
tally commendable is Mr.. Gray's
clear and distinct ennunciation, never
a word being missed by his hearers
and that means much in the apprecia.
ton Of a composition. He has q full
round voice and uses especially vel
the soft, tonal qualities. He has excel
lent control of breath and range
that is quite remarkable in a baritone
voice, He is sympathetic in his in
Interpretation of his numbers and gets
all the music out of composition. HI
too is a young man, yet at the earl!
start Of his musical career with grea
promise for the future. He like Mis-
Robinson was winner in the contes
conducted by the National Federation
of Musical clubs and his hearers yes
terday are quite sure he is deserving
of the honor, Both Miss Robinson ant
Mr. Gray were obliged by the insisten
applause to give a number Of encore
numbers
Miss Robinson was presented with
lovely corsage bouquet Of pink swee
peas by the Musical club.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Serve guests at your table from the
left When brushing crumbs from
cloth between courses. stand at the left
of the guest. Do not fold your napkin
unless you expect to eat another meal
at the same table.
1t is economy at Christmas time to
make all ones gifts the same color,
then little odds and ends may be COM
bined and every scrap used.
Care of Garbage Can-If rock salt is
thrown in bottom of can and newspa-
per put in. garbage will not stick in
the winter and the man will not have
to jab holes in can to loosen the CON
tents. If an old stocking is folded over
handle the top will be easier to take
off in cold weather.
In cleaning baby's nose, a good way
to do is to wrap small piece of dry
medicated cotton on hairpin or tooth
pick. It being soft cannot hurt baby.

SAVE THE COST OF SPRAYING
Martins and BluebIrds should Have
Houses Provided for Them Near
the Orchard.

The American Bird House Journal
says that farmers and or~chardists can
avoid the cost Of spraying fruit trees
by providing the purple martins with
a residence in or near the orchard and
encouraging these intelligent birds TO
keep down the insect pests. The pa
per produces evidence to show that
the martins protected a certain or
chard TO such an extent that great
crops OF fruit were raised without any
spraying at all. II may be too much
to assume that the birds will take
care Of all tree pests; the San Jose
scale, for instance, must be beyond
the reach OF any bird. But there 10
no doubt about the activity and the
value Of martins and ~bluebirds in fight
ing insect pests, nor any doubt at all
Of the readiness Of these birds 10 90

little houses provided for them, pro.
