on American composers and American
music., was followed by a programme
consisting of these numbers: "Polonaise

Kdlck; "Good Bye" (Lost!), Mrs. Thres
her; "As Thro" the Street," Mrs. Gill;
(a) "O Haunting Memory" (Carrie Jack
Bond), (b) "May Time" (Tosti), Mrs.
Van Brakle. The club flowers and club
colors were voted on. and it was decid
ed to have a luncheon and matinee
muslcale June 19.
I had occasion in reporting the con
cert given last Thursday night by
George Hotehklss Street, baritone, to
speak of several small matters with
reference to his singing. Mr. Street
writes to admit the truth of the criti
cism, says that he Is not above, taking
advice and his letter is that of a gen
tleman. It Is refreshing to meet with
such a well-buTanced singer as he, who
does not take offense at honest criti
cism and who does not get abusive un
der it. Too many singers lose their
tempers If one does not agree with therp.
in worshipping their voices, in season
and out of season.
