CAL ENGAGEMENT.
FINE ARRAY OF TALENT 4.
FOR "Y. W." BENEFIT
Rare Opportunity For Music Lovers to
Hear Such an Assembly Of Worth
While Talent For SO Small Cost
Artists Appear Friday Night at
Methodist Church.

Probably never. and at least not in
recent years, have Mayshalltown music
lovers been given an opportunity to
hear such an array of worth while
talent for SO small sum- as will be
afforded Friday night at the Methodist
church, when six artists will appear
IN program for the benefit Of the Y.
w. c. A. war work fund The church
should be filed. not alone because OF
the worthy object being served. but for
the more selfish, reason that such an
opportunity does not come every day
or every year.
In addition to the soloists announced,
Miss Ida Gardner contralto who or
tginally was scheduled to appear with
Marie Kaiser and others. and who sent
word she could not come, late yester-
day wired that she found she was able
to keep the engagement Miss Card
Tner was injured recently In IAN auto
mobile accident in which her niece met
her death, and at once Cancelled all
engagements. Miss Gardner has recov-
cred sufficiently to be able to appear,
and viii sing one group of numbers
IN addition to appearing In the finale.

substituted for Miss Gardner, will not
