SWEETNESS AND SYMPATHY

Mrs. Dick Sanger gave beautiful songs by Brahms with great sweetness and sympathy. and 25 an encore she sang a fascina ing American Indian song which suited her voice most per- fectly.

Two English songs were given by Mr. B. Bailey, and Mrs. R. Gambler 'sang Autumn Song, and April by Roger Quilter, with clear understanding of their delicate appen).

Mrs. S. Church made a great hit with two amusing recitations to music. The first a very clever skit on Gunga Din. "Mandalay" and other "Kiplings" and the second a Hittle poem with an amusing climax, called "Should A Woman Tell."

Mr. Sydney himself worked very hard all the time. Not only did he give a short lecture
