A good audience assembled at the
court house last Thursday evening in
reponse to Invitations sent out by
Mrs Chas- Steinberger, the occasion
being the diploma recital of her pupil
Miss Margaret Hartman. The CLASH
cal selections were excellently render

finger action and expression and she
is deserving of compliment on her un-

her work. Mrs. Steinberger in few
well chosen words presented her pupil
with a diploma reward for the
faithful work she had done under her
instruction in the course completed.
The selections given by the Ladies

present and we hope they will appear
