Pupils Give Recital.

An enthusiastic audience OF music
lovers filled the Y. w. G. A. audi
forum last night at the first vocal
recital given by the pupils of Mrs.
Robert Lee Reid. The program
opened win two piano numbers by
Mrs. Reid's little daughter Marion,
who played two numbers in a most
creditable way for SO small pianist.
The numbers were: .'.. g..
The Hammock Song.
............M Mrs. Crosby Adams
The Night Song Mrs. Croby Adams
The program of vocal numbers
given by Mrs. Reid's pupils was de-
lightful in every number. Some Of
the singers appeared in solo work for
the first time last night and none of
them had more than fifteen weeks
instruction The method used for
their teaching must have been the
best points from many methods to
have achieved the results as demon
strated The voices were especially
good in the support Of tone. Their
tones had character and there was a
resonance which carried the minutest
tone to every part of the auditorium.
The pupils sang In splendid color, an
accomplishment which all singers
seek to attain.
The program was we'll arranged
and the numbers chosen with regard
to the developments of the individual
voices. The music was the same as
used in the voice development in
their regular study.
The piano accomplishments were
played in most sympathetic and
pleasing way by Mrs. A. Belzer and
Miss Katherine Younker. .-....
At the close of the program the
audience remained seated and gave
prolonged applause in the hope OF
hearing Mrs. Reid sing, but she had
no music with her and the audience
was forced to forego that pleasure.

Where Housekeepers Stumble.

AS Miss Ellis worked at the cook
ing school yesterday, with that ease
and tidiness which characterizes
cooking school teachers and baked
cake, fried doughnuts, made biscuits
and an omelet, every one coming out
exactly right, one woman said: How
does she do it?" The woman who sat
next to her, a practical sort Of per-
son said: well, she didn't have to
answer the telephone or the door
bell, nor answer the peddler at the
back door with No thank you, not
anything this mornig.' or No we
don't care to have the ashes hauled
today or No you can't go to the
picture show today, you were there
Yesterday but Miss Ellis could keep
her mind on her cooking and moth
ing else"
When you come to think Of 1t there
is a difference and maybe a real rea-
son for the occasional failure which
comes to the practical housekeeper.
Miss Ellis is delightful teacher and
gives ever so many hints aside from
the mere recipes she teaches. For
example yesterday she said that in
baking a layer cake, after the batter

Of much sickness, and he endorsed a

especially careful regarding their

BRITISH CRUISERS
WATCHING COASTF0R
GERMAN SUBMARINES

Norfolk, Va, July 26.-Pilotless
and without warning to the United
States and United States officials, one
of the British cruisers lying off Cape
Henry awaiting the appearance of the
German submersibles Deutschland
and Bremen steamed through the Vir-
ginia cape yesterday, proceeded to
the vicinity of Fortress Monroe,
cruised about for an hour or more,
and then returned to a point just out
side the three-mile limit.
The United States war ship
Louisiana and the collier Neptune
were the only government vessels
which sighted the ship and detailed
report of the incident was made to
Washington last night by naval Off
GERS. Authorities here said that
while the entrance to American wa
ters without warning was very un-
usual they could see in it no viola
tion of International law or naviga-
tion regulations.
