Local Musicians Give Charming
 PrOgra m

Local musicians displayed much talent yesterday afternoon when they appeared before the Wednesday Af- ternoon Musical club at the Strat- field hotel, in a program containing eight well arranged numbers.
 Miss Mabel Smith was the leader and deserves credit for selecting such a choice lot of musicians. The opening number was sung by a chorus of 12 well blended voices followed by piano solos by Mrs. Louis I. Syder, which were capably rem dered. The popular trio, composed of Miss Ruth Williams, cellist, Miss Dorothy Smith, violinist, and Mrs Edna Northrop-Kearns, accompanist, were as usual most enjoyable in their number. Vocal selections sung by Mrs. Judith Landberg FTather, Mrs Vera Bertlson Seim, Mrs. Charles Hall and Miss Catherine Russell, were particularly pleasing. Miss Russell, the youngest artist of the afternoon, is the possessor of a beau tiful soprano voice and coupled with her charming personality, she won the admiration of the entire audience. Closing the program was Miss Eliza beth Limont, who showed rennarka- ble skill in the rendition of her piano solos from the Mcdowell suite.
