Finishing with last evening's event, when Mrs. Mable Grounds Johnson and Ben Claire Crow presented their pupils in recital at the Christian church, ' music lovers have enjoyed a regular saene;erfest the last few days. A large and enthusiastic audience responded to their invitations last evening to greet the young per formers. The hopeful Thespians, com posed largely of the senior class, I. H. S., have recently stepped in too for a share of the praise. Secrecy hovers around some other very interesting approach ing events which will be chron icled in our columns later. Lester Butler's many friends will be happy to know that he is engaged in the People's Theatre in Portland, where his singing is meeting with hearty approval and is winning distinction for him. He possesses a unusually fine voice both in ran o and quality and has a capac y for singing folk songs with ; soft sweetness and feeling that .. annot fail to please. His mary friends here will watch with interest his ca reer. C. L C. TEA On Monday afternoon, May 18, Mrs. M. Merwin was the first hostess to entertain at a series of ten cent teas to be given by the members of the C. I. C. The half dozen ladies whom the hostess invited to pass the afternoon with her will each in turn entertain the same number and will realize a replenishing fund in a delightfully pleasant way. Mrs. Merwin was'a yery pleas ing hostess, establishing a prece dent for the small teas, which will be anxiously looked forward to. Dainty refreshments were served and the afternoon hours were consumed in making plans for a real booster evening to be given very soon. The guests present were lles darnes Cooper, Hayes, Missall, j Drexier, Thomas, Knapp and Graves. MRS. PADDOCK CHARMING HOSTESS Mrs. E. E. Paddock, who is ev er a charming hostess, was not less charming last week, when she received tht members of the Wednesday Afternoon Club. Her home presented pictur esque settings and the after noon's pleasure was augmented with a short but splendid pro gram. Mr3. Fletcher gave a reading and Mesdames Mcintosh, Knapp and Paddock rendered suitable music.

The ladies have many surprises in the way of entertainment in store which they promise to re veal very soon. H. HIKSCHBERG HOST H. Hirschberg, one of Indepen dence's jollicst and most genial bachelors, was host to the mem bers of the Crab Club at the res idence of Dr. 0. D. Butler on Fourth and Monmonth streets last Friday evening. The Butler abode was beauti fied for the occasion with com bined flowers and greenery. Around the attractively ap pointed table the club members were seated and the host presid ed over an elaborate dinner. The menu consisted of the best culi nary artists could prepare and was spiced with witty conversa tion. Following dinner, the remain ing evening hcurs were passed with cards, the company declar ing Mr. Hirschberg to be a host a la mode. MRS. KNAPP ENTERTAINS Mrs. Guy Knapp entertained at the second of a series of ten cent teas at her home on Fourth street last Monday afternoon.

Mesdames Paddock and Claire Irvine pleased the company with beautiful solos. The hostess rounded out the afternoon's pleasure with a most palatable luncheon. TATTING CLUB Mrs. McCarthy entertained the members of the Tatting Club at her attractive suburban home last Wednesday afternoon. Those who were not familiar enough with the shuttle to make "tatting" were certainly not found wanting in the art of "chatting," which made a most pleasing combination. The cool retreat of th country home mads the afternoon very enjoyable. The hostess served a most tempting luncheon. Besides the club members pres ent Mrs. Layton Smith was an invited guest. MRS. BURK ENTERTAINS Mrs. George Burk entertained a large gathering of friends last Tuesday afternoon at her home on Railroad st'eet. The hostess made the hours es pecially pleasant with her music. A splendid luncheon was served and taken as a whole the afternoon was very pleasant. BRILLIANT CONCERT When all things were in readi unusually attractive coup de the i atre. j From the first entrance the ef jfect was beautiful. Artistic tastes had transformed the sanc- '.tuaryinto a bower of beauty hanging baskets of choicest cut flowers and potted greeneries were used in profusion.

Dtcidedly the larpest aixl most representative audience of Inde pendence's most fashional leand cultured ever seen on a similar occasion greeted the musicians and from the time the first num ber was rendered, the artists, the guests, everyone genuinely en tered into tin' spirit of the even ing. The entire performance was a veritable sensation and will long live in the memory of those fortunately present. In "It is Enough" from the difficult "Elijah," Mr. Crow rose to the height of his art His voice, big, round and sparkling with richest color, was pliable to the faintest shading that might be desired. He was especially good too in V. Nessler's "Der Trompeter" "It Was Not So to Be," a remarkable feature dis played was the faultless enuncia tion and perfect tonal coloring. Miss McDaniel wielded the bow with technical ability, her inter pretations were given with ari is tic finish and Musse's "Elepy" was rendered with even a poet ical interpretation.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH There will be no preaching service in tion of Greig's "To Spring"" was most heartily received. Mrs. Johnson displayed a re markable development of tech- ' nique and ana tone vibration. Her interpretations were exceed ingly artistic. She reached her zenith in Chopin's Polonaises: "C Sharp M;nor" and "A Ma jor," the contrasting lightness i and breadth of her renditions re ceived remarkable praise. Her accompaniments both for voice and violin were most satisfying to the faintest coloring. The Steinway Artist's Grand Piano used was a veritable in spiration, the full, mellow tone and perfect pik-h making it an ideal support for the voice. Between parts one and two, the assemblage was taken as it were into pretty lounge rocms where the ushers assisted by an additional bevy of pretty girls dispensed most refreshing fruit punch a la francaise. Congenial Mable Grounds Johnson, Pianist parties quaffed ihe punch giving toasts to the evening's musicians. Mrs. Johnson, Miss McDaniel and Mr. Crow were each com pletely showered with exquisite floral greetings, each number was enthusiastically applauded, many receiving hearty encores.
