BcetlioTen Club Meets at Sunder- A
The
land Hall-
ffe skies were cloudy and
there was a suspicion of snow in j
the air, vui a guuuiy uumuor, u
the Beethoven Club braved the
weather and rode but to Sunder
unA. The cordial welcome of
giss Montgomery, me nearly
meetings of her. corps of t teach
ers; the cozy parlors and the
presence of thirteen invited
quests, assured at once a sue-
pnccful m eeting . -The absence of
the president, Mrs. M; H H Cald
well, and of the secretary, Mrs.
W R Harris, was the only dis-
murajrinsr circumstance. But
the first vice-president, Miss
Lucy Lore, was equal to the
emergency, and, : with Jthe as
sistance of Miss Van Wagner
quickly arranged a program of
seven numbers, each an excel
lent selection. She then becu
pied the president's chair and
conducted 4 the business - -of the
club with grace and efficiency.
The opening number, Edward
Hoist's brilliant duet, "Sleigh
K'.see' played in ; allegro ; by
Ivlissos Lore and Van Wagner
was an inspiring-beginning. The
$';cc.' - number was filled by
Mis. J P xVllison with a xaper
c:: ; 'Beethoven in music and lit
erature, with the pathetic inci
v iiits of his closing days." The
amount of information which
Mrs. Allison condensed in this
paper was well worth the inter
est, with which it was heard.
Beethoven's "Moonlight ' Son
ata," a difficult composition, ren
dered with the perfection of deli
cate touch by Miss Lucy Lore,
tts the third number.
Miss Rose Harris, by request,
filled the fourth number with
Ethelbert Nevin's popular song,
"The Rosary."

Henry T Fihck on John Bur
roughs'. Writings on Music."
John Burroughs himself would
bo doubt have been edified, as
was the club, by hearing this
criticism. The sixth number
was the lovely waltz , sbng P.f
Eren H Bailey, "Fleeting Days,"
sung in faultless timeafldtpne,
by Miss Ada Craven. Miss Van
Wagner' crowned :'the enjoymeht
of the program with , a double
selection from Beethoven,- "So
nata Quasi; ijna ; Fantasier and
Opus, Number 3." i "; r ' '
As 1 lie " program was finished;
the welcome which the club had
received was doubled by the en
trance of snowy trays heaped
t1 onel food, fruit cake and
Cx earn, followed by luscious
fruits and nuts, "and to add ex
hilaration to these dainties, cups
of delicious hot coffee, irresisti
bly tempting in pretty china.
