The three artists arrived in the city
on Saturday and by way Of compen-~
sation for the late arrival of the last
group of artists gave some of their
music at the Sunday services. Per-
haps it was due to this opportunity of
getting better acquainted that the
personality of all three artists SEEM
ed particularly pleasing, and the large
audience that filled the church audi
torium gave eidvence that what they
had heard had only whetted their ap-
petites for more.
The Norfleet Sisters are not only
gifted in their individual lines but
they show a mastery of the technique
of their chosen instruments. The
Beethoven Sonata brought forth ..
storm of applause from an au-
dience to whom Beethoven is as T.
rule sealed book, and the Waldsteina
Sonata as a foreign language. The
tically encored and the unusuaEi
breadth of Interpretation as we'll as
the delicate, exquisite touch held the
audience breathlessly quiet, during
the playing of each well-chosen num-
ber. Miss Norheet's technique is adj
mirable and her feeling true.
Mrs. English possesses lyric So
prano of exquisite purity and the SIM
plicity and ease with which she sings,
give evidence of long, Conscientious
study. Perhaps her most popular
number was Bishops old English
ballad, which gave her an opportun--
ity to use the fexibility Of her upper
tones to the delight Of the audience
who insisted on it being repeated
The feeling of the whole audience was
that all three artists were deeply con-
scientious and thor ough, giving pro-
gram for the sake of the beauty and
soul Of the music--not merely to en-
tertain.
The following quotation is taken
from DeMorgan's story entitled "Jos--
eph Vance," and will be of deep inter
est to al who heard Miss Norheet play
Beethoven's "Waldstein Sonata" at the,
recital Monday evening. The book
is we'll worth reading as whole, but
a little resume Of thu events that pre-
ceed this selection will add to an un-
derstanding of it.
Joseph Vance, the hero, has heard
that his wife has been lost through
the wreck of vessel at sea. Life
seems to hold little for him, and COM
ing home to his empty house is daily
mockery: He finally consents that
Frau Schmidt, a neighboring music
teacher, may have the use of his piano
in his absence, and then wonders if he
will regret the concession. Here is
his own story Of it:
II was arrested opposite my OWE
house on hot July morning by the
sounds that came from Janey's piano.
When a tooth that has ached for days
is suddenly touched with some effec-
tive anodyne, the incredible rest is
good at the moment, even though the
torment be sure to come back. When
a heart has ached for months, and for
sheer WEAKNESS is ready to welcome
any alleviation, however small, a.
strain of music we might scarcely no.
tice at another time may be relief.
This music somehow relaxed the ten
sion of that web of pain that l spoke
of before, just af ter the wreck. It had
remained ever since-now more, now.
less, but always there
GAS stood watching the red sail
of an old barge, it downed slowly in
my semi-musical brain that the little
hammers must be very glad of this
new activity. How they must be re-
joicing over impulses they had never
felt the like of! In a few moments r
was almost wondering if it was real
ly a human hand that could do it? Had
it a thousand fingers, and heart In
every finger? Did each little hammer
say at each note: 81 have recorded i'm

and longings; hundred tales Of skies
