INDIAN MUSIC. A most delightful
musicale was given last Thursday after
noon at the home of Mrs. James H.
Howes, who entertained about eighty five
members and guests of the Woman's AL
lance of the First Parish church. A most
entertaining program on Indian music

costume, giving a very realistic touch,
particularly to the first mum Der, the Mys-
tic Fire song, with Mrs. Mervin L. Ames
as pianist. This music was taken from
the South California Indian music.
AS an introduction to the song
their Camp Guardian, Mrs. Arthur
Wilson, read a short paper interpret

lore. Mrs. Wescott read a most instruc-

Indian music. There has been little de-

religion. 1t is more fascinating than
