The meeting of the Woman's Club

Presbyterian chapel completed the
third meeting of the club season mt
the second of the three musical
meetings scheduled on the 1921-22
calendar. Mrs. Myra Burtis Binden-
berger. contralto s~oloist, was the
artist of the afternoon and the fav-
orites of all were among the numbers
of her recital. Mrs. Bindenberger
has a big voice. much bigger than
anyone would suppose who heard
her yesterday afternoon as she kept
her voice well modulated to suit the
small chapel in which the meeting
was held. Her voice is very well
placed and pleasing. her lower range
being as sweet as her higher notes,
as was easily distinguishable in her
recital numbers. The club audience
was especially ~appreciative of the
two American-Indian songs which
she sang. The Waters of Minneton-
ka' and 1.-THE Moon Drops Low
while The Rosary as always.

numbers included on her program
