The closing program of the Tuesday
Musical club was held at the city hall,
in the council chamber, last Tuesday
afternoon. 1t consisted of commun-
ity singing, led by Mrs. j. w. Coates
and Miss Esther Sole as soloist, fol-
lowed by a song cycle for four solo
voices, I'm Persian Garden" by Liza
Lehman. Those taking part were
Mrs. Frank Boettcher, soprano; Miss
Nora Jensen, cOntralto; Emery James,
bass; Clyde Hayden, tenor, and Miss
Gertrude Lewis at the piano. This
EluSic is not easy and considering the
short time put upon it by the singers
was done remarkably well. Mrs
Boettcher, who has a soprano voice of
rare quality, together with pleasing
personality, commands her audience
and can easily be recognized as one of
the leading sopranos of WauSau
Miss Jensen's voice also appeals great
ly and she handles it intelligently, as
was evident in the unaccompanied
recitative. The manly singing of
Emery James speaks we'll for future.
His voice is one of unusually fine quail
ity and is always welcomed wherever
heard. Last but far from least was
the tenor work done by Clyde Hayden,
young singer whose voice shows
great promise. 1t has natural beauty
| and we are expecting much from him.
Miss Lewis, who, together with Mrs.
q. q. Hooker, arranged the program,
shared the glory with the singers.
She is an excellent accompanist and
has true musical feeling. This pro-
gram was coached by Miss Mary
Harger, to whom much credit is due.
The members of the Art and Liter
allure department of the Ladies' Lit

time was spent, and the discussion of
next years course of study taken up.

ideas in literature combined with war
work, but nothing definite was de-
cided upon The afternoon was spent
out on the pavilion lawn knitting for
the Red Cross. Mrs. w. E. Hudtlotf
was appointed chairman of the de-
partment for the coming club year,
and she will name her secretary. In
the evening the husbands and few
| friends of the members had been in

been prettily arranged in the center

an ideal afternoon and evening for an
