Presbyterian church to hear the recital
in which Miss Grace Bowman was the
principal singer. The recital was given
by pupils of Prof. Reno Cortesi and
was very well-arranged and perfectly
balanced program. Miss Bowman more
than fulfilled all expectations, as every
number she sang was beautiful for its
sweetness of tone and correctness. The
progress made by her in the past two
years is remarkable and justifies the
prediction that within few more
years, if she devotes herself to study
under competent teacher, Miss Bow
man will gain an enviable rank in the
world of music. Miss ,Leona Wood of
La Junta and Mr.. Chateauvert of Hall
fax assisted in the recital and each
"made good" but of course our home
girl was the mainstay Of the recital

attested by the many boquets with
which she was showered.
