On entering the room, one immediately felt the pres- ence of the spirit of Christmas. The decorations of pine trees, and the light from many candles made the surround- ing very charming. Soon the beautiful strains of a "pastorale" by Jornfeldt were heard, played by Mrs. Valona Brewer and Mrs. Sidney Bartlett, violinists, with Mrs. Dwight C. Orcutt at the piano and this added to the feeling of Christ- mas. Then, singing, "O, Come, All Ye Faithful" the red-robed chorus, each one carrving a lighted candle, marched into the room and onto the stage. The following lovely program was given by the members of the club, with Mrs. Orcutt at the piano: 1 (1) Come, Good Christmas RE hr ga Old English Carol (2) Christmas Hymn Old English (3) Christmas Joy Cn sa Old English Chorus II Christmas Duette Mrs. Guy Stuart Bailey, Mrs. John Hansel III Lullaby Noel of the Bressan Wait Dancirux Carol Carol Chorus IV Christmas solos Mrs. Karstrom (1) The Forest in White NE Bl Lucina Jewell (2) Bambino Pietro Yon Then, while singing the recessional, "Rejoice, Rejoice," by Clough Leighter, the chorus went from the room.
