MUSICAL PROGRAM OF THE
 THURSDAY AFTERNOON CLUB

The new department of music i
 proving one of the most delightfu
 features of the Thursday Afternoon
 Club work.
 On the evening of November 27, tn
 second meeting of this depaltmen
 was held in the club room and a mos
 inspiring program . was rendered
 Every number was by an American composer and we have reason to b' proud of musical America.
 The Negro Lullabye sung by Vers Car,. Marcella Mills, Odella Mills lone Ferguson, Florence Anderson and Lois Gates was thoroughly en joyed by all. Is there in all the world sweeter music than the half melody half humorous airs of the negro? |?
 Aren't some of the Kingman mer lucky to have real artists to perform for them the honlely duties of wash. ing their dishes and serving theil meals? Take MT. George Burns fol instance-his the privilege of listen. ing just any old time to what the public regards as rare treat and we did have that treat in Mrs. Burns two songs, "Bobolink Song" by Bishop and Sweetest Fellow by Nevin.
 The next number was piano solo, "SheIvo" and Shepherds All and Maidens Fair'', played by Mrs. Carl L. Smith. It was lovely.
 Miss Blanche Parsons gave short talk on "Popular Music in America" bringing out the point that popular music need not necessarily be jazz as we are prone to think of it, and citing a number of selections fro mvarious operas that usage has put into the class of popular music.
 Opera in America, a paper by Mrs. Tafel was very instructive and written in Mrs. TafePs ,ininitable style. H "s a' ,..>'. .' ......
 Mrs. E. F. Robinson sang two lovely songs, Invocation" and ''The Star" by Rogers.
 We were disappointed in not receiv- ing from Mrs. Charles Lewis the Paper on Musical Opportunities in America. Mrs. Lewis is always so thorough and we'll informed we miss her very much since she moved from our midst.
 Q And now let us tell you about Mrs. Charles Moore and her two songs. She looked like girl who had just stepped off of a magazine cover and her voice would make a canary "sit up and take notice". She prefaced her selection, "The Gypsy Trail" by Galloway, by read ing a short paper on the habits and customs of the Gypsy and her "Over the Hills" by a short sketch of the life of La Bente, the composer.
 Mrs. Ora Thompson's piano solo, Polka de Concert" by H. Bartlett, was masterfully rendered. We heard a musician in the audience whisper, There are five sharps in that piece!" We didn't know anything about that but we did know that it was full of melody and skillfully played-but she was mean and wouldn't come back! . r"Rock-a-Bye" and Good Night Song" by our little starlets, Vera, lone, Marcella, Odella, Florence and Lois all dressed in their nighties and carrying lighted candles and their dolls were as cute as could be.
 And then for the real fun! We all sang "Carry Me Back to Old Vir- ginny,' and because this was our last before Xmas, we sang "Silent Night", that loveliest of hymns, and Good Bye Ladies"-or the others did, we couldn't manage the last without up on the piano or some nigh place but some of those voices ;an soar to the heights to beat Henry Ford. That's "goin' some!"
