The last two weeks have been busy
weeks among the music folk OF Chi
cago. What with several musicals
each week, sometimes two OF thre,
m an evening, the activities OF the
musical world have been of unusual
interest
OF special interest to parents and
friends were the two recitals given by
the pupils of Miss Estella Bonds on
the evening of May 9th, at St
Marks NJ. E. Church, and Nine.
Martha B. Anderson on June lst at
Bethesda Baptist Church.
In both instances there were num-
bers of persons present to hear what
these embryonic musicians had to
offer. Those who came were not dis
appointed, for during the rendition

moments of genuine pleasure and
musical interest.
A promising future awaits those
who possess the patience and tact to
work.
