WiStii S3,.ftVW. v4,'-i&J2gmH' gr i jhjjj i.Hf w,wf" THE COURIER. K- 'X Ricketts, Miller, Lowe, Camp, Hansen, Mount, of Omaha; Hammond and Weston, of Beatrice. The gentlemen were: Messrs. Ames, McLucas, Adams, Lehman, Tullose, Cram, Raine, Harti gan, Ricketts, Lau, Cooloy, Thorpe, J. and D. Burks, Everett, Robinson, Hendy, Lansing. The party was chap, eroned by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Woods and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Cornell. The attendance at the meeting of tho Woman's club last Monday was about 300. In the interest? of voice culture the services of Prof. Williams, conductor of tho Nebraska college of oratory, were secured and ho gave a talk on that sub ject. Among other things he said that under the name conditions a woman's voice could bo heard as far as a man's voice and indeed farther, because it is keyed higher In standing close to a brass band one hears the drum almost exclusively but a mile away tho high keyed piccolo was distinctly heard and not tho drum. It is unnecessary and in jurious however for the voice to be on a high key in order to bo heard in a hall. The sound should be thrown to tho front of tho mouth against tho hard palato and not in tho back part against the soft palato as illustrated by a ball when thrown against a stone wall, it will rebound, but thrown against a feather pillow, will not rebound. Enun ciation and articulatiou were empha sized and their use shown. Prof. Will iams' production of two selections from James Whitcomb Riley was appreci ated. A largo number of enthusiastic members pledged themselves to attend the class drills in voice culture given to the club a half hour before each meet ing by Prof. Williams. It is expected that this movement will bring the art of throwing the voice into discussion and practice and render the complaint that tine papers and discussions are not a thing of the past. Tho piano duet by Miss Hoover and Mr. Hadley and the vocal solos by Mr. Movius were delight ful and received undivided attention. An invitation to tho club to attend the reception given by the Press association was accepted with thanks. Mesdames Elliott, Field, Stein and Sawyer wore elected to officially represent tho club on this occasion. It was decided to meet in two weeks and again in three weeks so that tho meetings would alter nate with those of tho Matinee musi calo to accommodate members belong ing to both. Tho Woman's club pro poses to do its part in creating tho art atmosphere of Lincoln. A special meet ing of the department of , art was an nounced at tho homo of Mrs. Homer Case, 1423 G stieet, on next Monday at '2C10 p. ui. Mrs. Case will talk on the theme, "The Story of tho Pictures on My Wall." Sho objects to hiding copies of fine pictures in portfolios and books, so decorates her wills profusely with them. When they can no louger do ser vice in thi: way, through soil, they are carefully laid in the portfolio having served their mission but their story of life is retained in the hearts of all gaz ers where it properly belongs. The New Book Review dub had a most en joj able literary feast Wednes day afternoon with Mrs. I. X. Baker. "Henrik Ibsen" was the subject and an interesting biography given by Mrs. Archibald Scott.
