 | The large and appreciative audi ence of members who attended re- ceived the Triad" of Boston most favorably and the spontaneous ap- plause which greeted these artists re- suited in repeated encores by each. Miss Millicent Chapman. the pian- ist, made a particularly favorable inn pression. Her rendition of the works of Debussy and Cyrill Scott combin- ed thorough understanding of mod ern music and methods with a splen- did technique and charm of express sion distinctly her own. Her accom- paniments of the solo numbers of the other artists have never been sur passed in New Britain.
 The songs on the program by Miss Gertrude Tingley were well suited to her fine voice which proved rich and resonant particularly in the lower and middle registers and her first group of songs-in French-demon- strated her artistry to the fullest ex- tent.
 The two groups for violin presented by Jessie Hatch Symonds, chosen with discrimination and filled with melo- dies that delighted the ear, were enthusiastically received. Her tone throughout the performance was ad- mirable and showed long study and commendable sincerity of purpose.
 To complete the program three de- lightful numbers for voice, violin and piano were given. The beautiful en- semble effects obtained by the artists, enhanced by the twilight, the beauti- full decorations and the musical at mosphere in which they were present. ed, will long be remembered by all who were present.
