Dubbs, 1221 Greenwood avenue, Wilmette, on March 30, and enjoyed a very fine program. Mrs. Paul Fowler's piano numbers were first to receive merited applause. The selections Mrs. Evans sang suited the lyric quality of her voice and were greatly enjoved by her audience. Miss FEthel Flentye gave brilliant numbers which were enthusiastically received. The tech- nique and style displayed her usual ability. Mrs. Marjorie Sherman sang the German songs which are so well suited to her voice. Each seemed to grow in interest and were equally well given with faultless tone and diction. Miss Evelyn Dirks very kindly sub- stituted for Mrs. Dubbs, who was called East unexpectedly. Miss Dirks plays her violin with renewed inter- est since her study in Europe, and pleased her listerners greatly. Mrs. H. D. Pettibone's piano selections were very well given and the Brahms "Lul- laby" seemed to stand out as unusual- ly well executed. Mrs. Norman Copthorne gave operatic selections with her clear and resonant tone and splendid interpretation. The modern selections by Hageman and Kriens were also most interesting.
