Y. w. c. A. Glee Club.

A large audience enjoyed the spring
concert of the Y. w. c. A. Glee Club,
which was given at the First Con-
gregational Church last week. Miss
Meta Craig, soprano soloist, of In
gram Memorial Church, who assisted
the club was in splendid voice, sing
ing two groups Of songs. besides
"Mammys Lullaby" an arrangement
from Dvoraks "Humoresque," which
she sang with the club. Her inter
probation of THE Lass With the
Delicate Air" (Arne) and "Exalta.
ton" (Beach) were particularly fine.
Miss Helen Nash. accompanist for
the club, played Liszt's "Liebe-
straume" with much sympathy and
showed brilliant technique in her
rendition of Caprice Espagnol"
(MoszkowskD.
The work Of the glee club was par
ticularly pleasing. Perhaps the most
difficult number on their program
was The Heavens Are Telling" from
Haydns THE Creation" which they
sang with a finish that spoke well
for the training which they have re-
ceived from Miss Esther Linkins,
who has been directing the club since
its organization, in October OF last
year.
The next performance Of the glee
club will be at the Y. w. c. A.
