Monday Music Club.

A program winch was an interesting
departure from the usual recital pro-
gram was given by the Monday Music
club in the Y. W. G.. A. auditorium
last night 1t consisted mainly of con-
certed numbers, the only solos being
two groups for piano. Program build
ing is an exacting art. 1t requires
nice sense of musical values and
above all, experience, for the builder
must be able to see it both from the
inside and the outside-to understand
lit from the angle of the artist who Is
giving it and to hear it as the audi
ence will hear it.
In club the size of the Monday
Music club the task becomes increas-
Iingly difficult on account of the mass
and variety of mater presented.
A successful progra e requires con-
ltrast rather than comparison, but the
contrast may not be too marked.
sense of cohesion and unity must al
ways be preserved.
Last nights program was a splen-
did example of well balanced pro
gram. Mainly composed Of concert
ed numbers the needed variety was
introduced by two groups of piano.
solos played by Miss Helen Kiedaisch
with accuracy and a marked degree of
poetic insight and musical feeling.
Two groups of vocal quartettes and
"a trio sung by some of the clubs best
known soloists were rendered with an
effect of coordination and consequent
sense Of spontaniety which was most
gratifying and showed the result of
long and serious work together.
Further variety which also bespoke
unity was found in the interesting Sc
quence of Rubenstein's Bdjaderen
dances which, as piano duets opened
land closed the program. These were
Iplayed by some of the younger mem
bers of the club and proved most
pleasing introduction of new talent
The program committee which is, by
the way, one of the hardest worked
committees in the club, is to be con-
other programs.
It's personnel is as follows:
Chairman, Miss Eleanor Brown,
Miss Ignore Rich. Miss Celestine
Dickey, Mrs. l.. B. Mckinley.
The president announced the fol
lowing appointments of out-of-town
secretaries:
For Hamilton-Miss Clara Reed.
For Carthage-Miss Gladys O'Harra.
For Kahoka-Mrs. Frank Turner
They will bring to the attention of
the executive committee any matters
relative to the interests of the peo
pie in their respective cities, and will
have charge Of all publicity, individual
and other information concerning club
activities.
The club wishes to render the same
service to its neighbors that it does
to its home town and is graified with
the spirit Of cooperation shown by
the appointees.
All committees are showing unusual
activity.
The report from the membership
committee is not yet complete, but
present returns indicate the largest
mem bership in the history Of the club.
