 The Norwich Music Association gave most enjoyable evenings entertain ment Monday evening in Slater Me morial Hall, the programme being in
 charge of Mrs. Winslow T. Williams.
 The main part of the programmewas given by the wonen's chorus, assisted | by Miss Isabel Mitchell, Miss Olive Riley and Rafael De Gruttola- The arranged for the season, being devoted to Christmas music, ranging from the very early English and French car ols, to the later Christmas church mu- sic and our own familiar Christmas carols.
 The first number on the programme
 was a Hymn to Music, dedicated to the Norwich Music Association, and sung by the chorus, the words by Miss Mazie V. Caruthers with the mu- president of the association. The
 charming verse came with singular appeal, striking as it did a note of cheer and comfort with sense also
 ting given it by MT. Selden was of
 exceptional loVeliness as well as of strength.
 Miss Caruthers, and Mr Selden re- sponded to an insistent applause on the part of the audience.
 It is hoped that this is the initial step in what may prove to be a very real movement in the production of original music in the association. The wornen's chorus under the very efficient direction of Charles D. Geer, gave a. very pleasing rendition of the early carols, many of which possessed an old time qtiaintness of time and form quite lost to us now. The tra-
 ditional French carols formed a par
 ticularly charming group. Mrs. Rus sell Baird sang most pleasingly a solo in 'Mendelssohn's oratorio Chris tus, and the rendering of O, Little Town of Bethlehem, was greatly en- hanced by the artistic playing by Miss Brightest and Best of the Sons of the
 Morning was a very lovely, harmoni- GUS. piece of music.
 The singing of the women's chorus shows great advancement under MT Geer's direction, with an added smooth as accompanist, gave her share of the evenings enjoyment and a sympathe- tic. support to the chorus work MT. Gruttola played his cello solos extremely well. He played with feel~ ing, and produced very fine tone phrasing was particularly good and well sustained.
 Miss Olive Riley's rendition of Cho- pins Scherzo in c Minor was of great brilliance and power. The sharply
 marked contrasts of tempo and tone were we'll given and in all it was an admirable performance.
 Concluding the programme three familiar Christmas carols were sung by all with great enjoyment A very beautifully arranged Christ mas basket. presented by Mrs. Henry F. Parker, decorated the hal1,> being composed entirely of superb poinset- tias.
