gave the impression that his royal
robes were burden to him. Her

that her slippers pinched her feet.

"A very successful piano recital was
given at Hull House Theater on
Thursday, APRIL 5, by Miss Lois Rogers,
of Marshallto wn, Iowa. Miss Rogers
a pupil Of Dr. E. B. Scheve, at Grinnell

peared frequently in concert at her
home town, at Grinnell, and last sum
mer at Denver, Colo. and Estes Park

AT her Chicago recital she displayed
not only remarkable. brilliant technic,
but an Interpretation and fine. musical
