Mrs. Peterman put a great deal of feel- ing and expression into this piece, and also played it with that deli- cacy and lightness of touch which are so essential to brinzing out the real beauty of the composition. Miss Vera Buchanan, who is one of Lakeland’s most promising young musicians, played Valse Styrenne by Wollenhaupt. Her execution was brilliant and the clearness and ac- curacy with which she rendered this composition was beautiful. The. two little Irish songs which ness and sprightliness of which Mrs. Getzen is 8o thoroughly capable.
