RECITAL LAST NIGHT
A DECIDED SUCCESS
From begnnng to end the music
recital last evening in the Com
munity church by the pupils of
Mrs. F. L. Groth, delighted the at
tendance with the talent display
ed and evidence of close applica
ton to their studies, and with the
wide and excellent variety of num
bers.
Parents and many others crowd
ed the little chucch to capacity
and the parents, small artists and
their teacher, Mrs. Groth, were
subjects for congratulations in
the remarkable amount of genuine
talent revealed following but a
short period of instruction.
The program has been mention
ed before; suffice to say every
one taking part added to the en
tertainment which lasted a full
hour.

The advent of Spring and early
Summer will see thousands at care
’ ee young men and women; college
o.udents, teacher3, doctors, lawyers,
artists and other professional folk
l acking their suitcases, bidding adieu
to their friends, and boarding ocean
1 ners for a voyage to Europe. Not so
long ago trips of this kind were con
i red to a few fortunate folk with a
f rod deal of money at their disposal,
mt nowadays the Collegiate Tours,
organized by the Art Crafts Guild of
Chicago in conjunction with the
Canadian Pacific Steamships, has en
abled young people and others of
limited means to travel and see
world. In former times a superuc
kur.wl-due of one’s own country w*. I
considered sufficient for the ordinary
person but in these days of intense
competition it is acknowledged that
some idea of other countries, par
ticularly those of the Old World, is
desirable both from the standpoint
of an employer and from that of the
person who would deem himself or
herself really well informed.
These collegiate tours which leave
several times a month from the
quaint old Canadian cities of Mon
treal and Quebec, offer steamship ac
commodations varying from the in
creasingly popular and economical
tourist third cabin to the regular
cabin class. They are conducted by
xperlenced people and offer varying
neraries Including England, Hol
.md, Belgium, France, Germany;,
Switzerland, Italy and other coun
tries. "Tourist Third” must not be
confused with regular third class for
it is a recent innovation In overseas
travel and provides good, clean, com
fortable surroundings, an appetizing
well-prepared menu, Jovial and well
bred travelling companions and the
run of a large part of a first-class
liner at a very considerable reduction
over the regular first cabin and
cabin prices.
The St. Lawrence route to Europe
Is extremely picturesque and provides
a river voyage of 1,000 miles before
the open Atlantic is reached. Deck
tennis, bridge parties, dancing on
deck and other forms of entertain
ment speed the voyagers on their
way, ‘ _
