PROGRAM FOR
 MUSIC LOVERS
Instrumental and Vocal Se- lections, Readings
 and Dancing

Members anu niusic- loving friends Of Juneau Woman'5 Club, had an pccial treat when they assem- 5lsd in the Grade School Auditor iuIn last Friday evening to hear the annual program put on by the Fine Arts Committee Of that organiza- tion. From Miss Todd's appearance for brief talk cn Music in the Home" to Lsn3re Anderson's in- terprotasive toe dancing the pro- gram was one not only of finished execution but of real delight. :.
 As usual the Girls Sextette from the high school reflected much credit on the music department of Juneaus public scheol work.
 Miss Jean Dempster, at the piano gave Guonod's favoriSe, March Romaine," and Linke's "Glo W Worm" with an exquisite skill in technique. She was dessrvedly applauded. The two men who assisted in the program-Ted Kea- ton and Sam Ritter-provided just the desired weight and variety, with their four well-rendered baritone solos, which took the audience ir turn to Samoa, Bonnie Scotland and Mandalay.
 Another pleasing diversion in the program was offered in two mos; pleasing readings by Miss Nitric Jarman, whose youthful interpre- tation of parental love and honor as well as of brides proverbia innocence of practicalities of lifs exhibited much thoughtful prepar- ation.
 Perhaps the high peak of lyric melody was reached in the duet by Mrs Crystal Snow Jenne, and Mrs Ann Ellis, when they sang Franz Shubert's much-loved "Serenade.
 The instrumental trio. Mrs. Du. Fresno, violin; Mrs. Sperling, pi- ano, and Miss Jones, cello, demon. strated the fact that Juneau ha; her artists with stringed instru. ments.
 Lsencre Anderson interpreted tht Moon Flower" with especially ar tistic skill. She delighted all witt her encore.
 Each number given combined tC reflect credit upon Miss Stells Jones, Chairman of the Committee to whom fell the greatest responsi. bility in assembling and preparing the delightful evening of music.
