The members of the club were greeted with round after round of apblause from the crowded ball room. They were most effective in light numbers such ‘as Purcell's “Nymphs and Shepherds,” Mozart's Springtime” and his whimsical little “Alphabet” given without ac- companiment. In church music their heavy tones were sometimes blurred in color and their high notes ‘music written by Reinagle, one &ften given before George W-- tington. 1t was danced before his portrrit last evening by eight little girls and boys, all very graceful and very shy.
