was given last night by Miss Hazel Mac
kay at the home of her teacher, Miss
Gladys Gale. Miss Mackay was assisted
by her brother, George Mackay, who
sang two groups of songs, and Miss Gale,

fine baritone voice and the musicianly
way in which he rendered his selections
delighted the audience. Not the least
pleasing of the songs was one written
by Miss Gale, "Now the Day is Over"
Miss Mackay's program was varied and
difficult, but she played it in such man
ner that reflected great credit to herself
and her instructor.
