The bright, dainty trio, "Snowilakes," by Misses Cornelius, Harding and Crawford was charming and received the warm appreciation it deserved. The duetts. "Swallows," by Misses Harris and Chambers, and "Hymns to the Night " by Misses Rozelle ana Crawford, were fine contrasts and each ja gem in itself; while "A Lover and His Lass," by Misses Wade and Mcin tosh, was an exquisite piece of 'work, both to' its own intrinsic merit and also as showing the rare beauty, rich ness and culture of the voices. The contrasting solo numbers, "The Sweetest Flower" and a "Little Thief" showed Miss Marie Torrance's bright clear soprano notes to advantage and were warmly received. The "Minor Chord," by Miss Grace Crawford, gave ample scope for her full contralto-. as did "Neta Gilana" in showing the capa bilities of Miss Cornelius' clear soprano voice. The little love lyric, "If I Were a Rose," by Miss Rozelle, was well suited to her beautiful voice, while Cowan's joyous "Birthday Song" was given by Miss Nellie Van Stewart with the finished interpretation of an ex perienced singer. The singers were ably accompanied by Misses Ramsey. Harris and Carr. The program was varied with readings by pupils from the school of expres sion, each one showing in a remarka ble degree the careful training, in which Miss Schmidt has proved her- Mrs. Thomas W.
