The Monday Music club presented

of the most experienced musicians or
the city. In consequence, the pro-
gram was of a high order in an
artistic way. Mrs. John r. Irwin was
the pianist Of the evening and alp

from Grieg both times. Her numbers
were:
On the Mountains. Greg
BerceuSe ................. Greg
Spring Greg
Night .......-.. Ir1eS
Responding to an encore, she
played from the same composer, The
Little Bird" Mrs. Irwin plays with
finish and interprets the music IN
such a way that it appeals to all
who hear her, to those who have a
technical knov Wedge of music and to
those who have not. She plays with
out mannerism of any sort and her
unaffected personality adds charm to
he'd playing.
The Misses Martha and Caroline
Baldwin were the soprano soloists on
the program. They have both had
especial advantages in study an0
training and their singing demon
strates that they have made the most
Of these opportunities. They studied
in New York and in recent years
whenever possible they have studied
with Felix Hughes, who is an unusua
teacher.

Miss Baldwin's singing delights
those who are critical in a musical
way because she sings correctly, but
| 20 the laity she is delight because
of the clearness of her enunciatiol
| One can hear every word as distinct
| ~ aS if in conversation.
| The old English song, my Lovely
Celia" was one of the most delight
| full of the group. Because of the
simplicity of ballad the singer has
| to bring much to it herself and this
Miss Baldwin did. Mrs. Robertson
played the accompaniment with
much sympathy.
| Mrs. Wilbur Hughes was the con
tralto soloist of the evening and sang
