own, having set to rather weird music
still more weird Indian poem, show
ing great facility in construction, and
rendition, the last number being es-
pecially well executed and winning
much applause from the club mem
bers and guests. The group of songs
by Miss LOra Lulsdorff were de-
light to the audience, as the sing
er's charming personality, perfect
pronunciation, and wonderfully sweet
mezzo-contralto voice combined to
please the most critical ear. Mrs.

style, the number by Stanley R..
