the audience. Featured among these

The group of ballads was one of the
most popular of the evening, and open
ed, after brief intermission, with The
Two Sisters of Binnorie, typically
Scotch in music and story, and tragic
ticularly harmonious number, Moving

of England: very old type of ballad

The recital closed with several in
teresting and tuneful songs of occupa-
ton, such as that of The Husbandman
and the Serving Man; Somerset type
in praise of The Plowboy's Life; a
womans song of occupation, Weeks
Work Well Done; and one that dates
back to Puritanical times in England,
that picturing the life in little fishing
village.
The artists maintained their reputa-
ton as authoritative interpreters of
folk songs by maintaining completely
the straightforward effectiveness nee
essary to- true folk-music, never for a
moment seeming to be superior to the
songs or to be personalities in their
own right. and scoring triumph In
every detail of their program.
Just prior to coming to Fargo, which,
incidentally. the Fuller sisters think
is quite the coolest place so far as CHI
mate is concerned, that they have yet
visited, they appeared in recital at st.
Paul, where they scored a decided suo-
cess.

An entertainment unique in every
way was the very delightful recital
of folk songs and ballads given Thurs
day evening by the Fuller sisters in the
A. C. armoTy as the fifth number of the
Citizens Lecture course. The spon-
taneity and toyousness with which
these three charming English girls,
Misses Dorothy, Rosalind and Cynthia
Fuller, sang to the sweet accompant-
ment of their Irish harp. which latter
they mischieyously introduced in .p rii-
large audience at the armory, and the
enthusiasm with which they were re-
ceived increased with each succeeding
number Their costumes as well as
their music was out of the ordinary, the
young ladies being quantity and most
becomingly gowned in richly brocaded
silks made after the fashion of 1870,
gowns are family heirlooms and, as
they prettily confided to their audi
ence, they wear them not because they
represent the preiod of the songs they
hind the scenes. however. they admit
that much as they prefer this style OF
dress for their recitals, they think 1t
would be inconvenient in. this day Of

years, and is much smaller than the

voices as though one of them. This
Irish harp, which was SO charmingly
played by Miss Cynthia Fuller, is like
those that were used by the minstrels
of early times.
The success of the unusual program
was due quite as much to the humor,
vivacity and dramatic feeling of the
performers, as to the sweetness and
clearness of their southern English
voices. and their enunciation was most
pleasingly distinct. Most of the songs
were given by Misses Dorothy and Ro-
salind Fuller.
In q few Introductory remarks, the
artists explained that the songs com
prising their program were those made
UP by the country people, and handed
down from generation to generation.
The natural, literal manner IN which
they interpreted them was convincing
evidence Of the enthusiasm with which
they have pursued their study of this
type of songs. They opened their pro-
gram with a prolog, such as actors used
toA give preceding play. and followed
with singing games and action songs
such as Here Comes a Duke a-Rtding,
When Was Young Girl, nonsense
