HE OPENED rl'S MOUTH :
AND SHUT HS EYES
During the fall months many new mem
bo rs have been received into the Neigh
borhood Club to whom the ebb gave a
reception in their parlors, Wednesday
afternoon inviting as the guests, the Busy
Bee Club, of May Park. The rooms were
tastily decorated with the club colors,
white and yellow, hot house chrysanthe
mums and patted pirns. The afternoon
was spent in furnishing a better acquain
tance among the members, during which
time solos were sung by Mesdames
Scroggins and Merton Kiddle, reading
by Mesdames Hill and T. Oliver. The
refreshment table wil presided over
by Mesdames Mallory and Bidwell.
The club by the manifested enthnsiasm
of its members is assured of attaining the
objects of its organization.
Entertainment a Success
The entainment in Central church last
evening was a success The enforced
absence of Miss Adams was a disap
pointment but the other members of the
company gave extra numbers and so a
full program was rendered.
Mr. Snyder, the pianist is certainly an
artist. Under his skillful touch the in
strument gave forth a wonderful flood of
sweet music. Graham Smith has an ex
cellent voice well under control and his
choice selections were very pleasing.
Mrs. Gates it an entertainer of a very
high order. Her strong, clear voice, her
perfect self control and'herthoro sincer
ity in her work, delight a discriminating
audience. Her heavier selections were
most enjoyed. The only adverse criticism
we have heard was that she used too
many of the lighter sort. We grew tired
of the "Bride elect" in her preparation for
the ceremony. This was the poorest sel
ection, still, even in this Mrs. Gates show
ed fine power. But there was enough of
the best to pay us for our time. When
we heard the rich mar. tell his wife of the
joy of serving his poor brother in saving,
his child, our hearts thrilled and we loved
mankind. This was splendid.
AH in all we were glad to spend the
evening listening to these artists. The
Popular Course is a success.
Mr. Davis furnished the piano.
