IRISH MUSICALE.
Given by Misses Mildred Whipple and
Bertriee Green on Monday Evening.

An Irish musicale was held at the
studio of Miss Lena A. Boudreau on
Monday evening. The Misses Mildred
Whipple of Westerly and Bertrice
Green had charge of the programme
A paper on The History of Irish
Music was read by Miss Grace Pa
tricia Young. In part Miss Young
read:
The entire history of the Irish peo-
against oppression. Little wonder
that they. that its impress is clearly
seen in all the music that Ireland has
produced. A people such as the Irish,
Interestingly mystical and musical
most naturally will turn to song, to
voice its joy and its sorrow, and hence
1t is in the music Of this nation is
found that strange mixture of mirth
and sadness which is so characteristic
of the Celt. 1t has been said that
Irish songs are ''Drenched in sorrow"
and it may be added that not only the
touched with a similar tender melan-
choly. Even in the most rollicking
drinking songs may be discovered an
underlying stratum Of subdued grief.
To understand fully and to appre-
ciate the spirit of Irish music one must
have written himself either promptings
of the same feeling or else he must
place himself in the attitude assumed
by the Irish. Every people which
have undergone oppression have at
some period produced a bard who
voiced the cry of his country. Such
a bard was Robert Burns in Scotland
while in Ireland Thomas Moore occu-
pied the same loving place.
The Irish harpers invented an art
which was practically their own. They
had a vocabulary of technical terms
differing from other nations. Many
related to the methods of playing the
harp while others described particular
Iy styles of composition. The Gin
