Benefit.
TBy Winona Evans Reeves.]

[By Winona Evans Reeves.l
The Monday Music club held Its
initial meeting of the year last even
ing, presenting very pleasing pro-
gram, before an audience which filled
the auditorium.
The stage setting was most attrac-
tive. There were festoons of aspara-
gus across the, back of the stage,
with clusters Of red and yellow
autumn leaves. On either side were
ropes of asparagus with many
autumn flowers.
Miss Baldwin prefaced the program
by announcing that the net proceeds
from all club activities will go this
year to war relief work, and that
a more ambitious program than ever
before had been planned. She spoke
Of the cooperation pledged by the
mems business and civic clubs OF the
city and said that everyone should
feel a definite interest in the Mon
day Music clubs success
The evening was in part compli-
mentary to Fred w. Kirchner and to
Alfred Hicks who as members OF the
students auxiliary and later OF the
Monday Music club have had promi-
nent place in its activities. Both
boys expect soon to be called to ser
vice in one Of the military bands.
They were each presented with a
bouquet in the center of which was
an American nag. Mr.. Kirchner's
bouquet was a gift from Miss Eleanor
Hughes piano class to which he be-
longs.
The orchestra under Alfred Hicks
direction played five numbers which
were we'll received. The orchestra
includes piano, Miss Florence Alling;
violin, Alfred Hicks; cello, DR.. John
w. Marsh; flute, M. Paul Gregg;
clarinet, Fred w. Kirchner; cornet,
Elmer Elwell; trombone. Leroy
Schulz.
Miss Celestine Dickey who studied
during the summer under Madam
Lensky in Chicago, gave group OF
songs, There is Land" Mine
Eyes Have Seem" "The Flower Song
from Faust, and Little Mother OF
Nine" Her voice showed much de.
velopment, her tones were round and
true and her numbers were very
pleasing. Miss Ignore Dickey play
ed the piano accompaniment.
Fred w. Kirchner played two piano
numbers by Rubinstein, Romance and
Staccato Etude, and for an encore
played Shepherds Hey by Grieg. Mr.
Kirchner never played better than he
did last night and that is praise in
deed.
Mrs. F. L. Devices appeared for
the first time before the club as a
reader, giving group Of James Whit
comb Riley's most aracteristic
poems, When the Frost is on the
Pumpkin, Out to Old Aunt Mary's.
and My Philosophy. She also read
lLEnvoi, one of Kipling's best known
poems, and responding to an encore
read The Return, by Riley.
Miss Marie Weber gave an inter
pretive dance, flower dance, which
was most artistic. Miss Corrine
Weber played the piano accompani-
ment.
The hostesses for the evening were
Mrs. J. G. Thomas and Mrs. Henry
S. Walker. Miss Florence Talbot and
Miss Beulah We'll were the house
committee.
