day evening int etc thail, and, it
spite Of the i e emasti
weather, the
entertainers were greeted with a very
good house The , audience was de-
lightdd 'with 'the varied .program,'
Mrs. Edith Marshall Clark" and 'Miss
Irene ,Soule. of Boston were the enter-
tainers. Mrs, Clark :is a most -acre's-
plished " entertainer and acme'
.equally' at home when playing yhe
Swiss handbells, the xylophone, they
cello or the musical lyre and it -was'
harddecide 'which t o e cide linen the audience
liked best, 1 ed b s , although the,bells and the
musical lyre were perhaps the favor-
ites. Both' were exquisitely Sweet.
The xylophone was a `,favorite with
the younger members of the audience,
largely, perhaps, ibecause of the swift
action o'f the performer. Mrs. Clark
also .gave an imitation.. of `'a lecture
she had heard, "What iss Under Your
Hater . which ,exhibited . her ,elo'en.,
tionary powers. -
Mies Soule aecompanied Mrs. Clark
on the piano and% also, sang •several
solos very'' sweetly end ,together they
sang a duet or two.
The last eoneert, ef'the series was
certainly- a good one. °
