The Paper Ball.

gallant men. The costums were beauti

It is certainly a great thing for shop

stock of goods like Bass Bro.’s to bay
from at the prices they are making.
They have announced that the entire
stock is being offered at cost, and
statements of such men are not to be
doubted. If you want goods for the
least money this opportunity should
not be lost.

THE SHORTER MUSICAL
A Harmonious Twat in Pennington
Hall.
The first of the Semi monthly Musicals
at Shorter college, was given last Friday
night in Pennington Hall, for by this
name Shorterites know the spacious par
lors of the institution. Old autumn had
entered the room before the college fam
ily gathered there, and haa decorated the
walls with leaves brilliant as flame and
yellow as the gold of Ophir. Then, too,
there bloomed in many a vase roses as
beautiful as those of vale of cashmere re
gal almost pathetic too were they in
their loveliness, for each pital seemed to
whisper. “AU that’s bright must fade.’’
The program began with an instru
mental solo by one of the swee'est little
lassies in all the land, Miss Mary Beth
Sullivan. Her musical touch was good,
and, for one so young played with
fine expression the “Mountain Flowret.”
by Ganne. Miss Ivylyn Duggan’s voice
appeared to great advantage in the vocal
solo “My All.” The lower register of her
voice has developed wonderfully, and
the firmness and fullness of her
tones delighted her hearers. “A
Romance,’’ by Marks, was played by
Miss Annie Bryan with taste and feel
ing. The beautiful voice of Miss Mary
Duggan is peculiarly adapted to a
song so full of deep and holv feeling
as “Penitence,” by Martin. She sang
it so as to touch the hearts of her
hearers, and give wings to their souls.
“A minuet.” by Stavenhagen, was
played by Mies Ivylyn Duggan with
grace, delicacy and brilliancy. Mies
Pauline Brown gave the next number
“Reveries,” her voice is even richer
and more powerful than it was last
year, and her expression was almost
faultless. She is a song bird of whom
Shorter college may well be proud.
Miss Brown further charmed her
hearers by an instrumental solo.
“Minuet Rose,” by Ganschals. Her
playing was marked by delicacy and
taste. “Dauphue’s Love” was sung
with expression by that gentle and
gracious maiden, Miss Louise Ross.
“Decided Improvement” was the ver
diet on Miss Ross’s voice. The next
numbers were two instrumental solos
by McDowell. These were exactly
opposite in character ; the one requir
ing delicacy and lightness; the other
demanding brilliancy and fire. To
excel in both of these called for skill
of no mean order, but Miss Louise
Ross was equal to the task. Her fine
technique never before appeared to so
great advantage. At the commence
mentlast June Miss Ross Kcelved the
medal for music, and last night she
proved herself worthy of the high
honor. We predict that this talented
young girl will reap other laurels be
fore she closes her career at Shorter.
The musical last night proved be
yond doubt that very earnest and
thorough work has been done at
Shorter, in the department of music
since the opening of the school in
September.
