her home in the suburbs Tuesday
evening of last week. The wide porch

the subdued light of many colored
Japanese lanterns.
The pupils fthe schools, about hf-
teen of their invited guests and the
ushers who assisted at the June re-
cital. drove out in motor cars at about
$50 to be very informally received
and entertained in the various out
door games.
The principal feature of the eVen7
ing was a contest in which prize
was offered to the pupil of any school
who succeeded in playing the long
est composition without seeing the
keyboard. Each contestant was
blinded and ler to the piano without
a sight of the keys or pedals and lett
to find both without assistance. The
