Lit and Social Guild were entertained on Wednesday night with an excellent concert arranged by Mra. J. L. Cowen. It was somewhat _unfortunato that there was not a larger attendance for what proved to be the most enjoyable concert of the Guild's season, but those who were present were highly appreciative, and with good reason.
Mr, W. J. Haynes opened the programme with two spirited baritone songs, and there followed the sonata for violin and piano in E minor (Bossi), by Miss McCabe and Mr. R. ©. Young. The three movements composing the piece were admirably played, and Miss McCabe succeeded in giving to her character and distinction altogether pleasing, displaying quite exceptional talent. Miss Dorothy Cowen very charmingly sang "Spring Song" (Hildach) and "Down in the Forest" (London Ronald), and in the second part of the programme, "Les Roses d'Is-pahari" (Faure) and "Adieux de Marion" (Massenet). Miss Cowen possesses a voice of fine range and quality and used it to admirable effect in four delightful songs.
A trio for piano, violin, and cello, No. 2 in D Minor (Mendelssohn), by Miss Jensen, Dr. Bil-longhurst, and Mr. Young, and a finely rendered violin solo by Miss McCabe (Andante from 7th Con-cerro, De Heriot) completed the programme. The performance was throughout interesting and was greatly enjoyed.
