Wl~METTE LIFE October 5, 1928 Two, Three" of H. C. Bunner was of especial sweetness. In keeping with the day and the trees of Kenilworth she gave a group of tree songs, the first, a new setting to a what might be ' called a "Tree Prayer," a very lovely thing. Mrs. Bluthardt then sang with sincerest feeling and splendid voice the Joyce Kilmer's poem "Trees," with the music by Mrs. Hoyt and this was followed by a little poem-song-story, "Radiance" by Mrs. Hedrick and a soft violin accompaniment by Miss Webb. A negro group of five attractive examples of the versatility of Mrs. Hoyt's work came next and rounded out a most artistic and varied program, and the last number was an ensemble of piano, singing voice, speaking voice, and two violins, ca1led "Day Dreams." Keniiworth presents a very appreciative audience to its artists and every one had a g-ood time. The next regular program of the club will be in two weeks with Ethel Colson Brazelton as the speaker. The art and literature departm ent will meet on October 9 at the home of Mrs. R. M. Btuns, 614 Essex road, at 10:15 o'clock in the morning. Re ports of current art exhibits will he given and the report of a current book. At ·the Neighbors By P. H.

She has a graciousness of manner and a sweetness of character which shine through all her work. The first group on the program consisted of five short varied song-storie and this was followed by a musical setting to the dramatic poem of Alfred Noyes, "The Highwayman." In the latter Mrs. Hoyt played the music and Mrs. Hedrick read the poem. A group of children's songs came next and in these Mrs. Hoyt showed great skill and tenderness. The "One .
