A Delightful Evening
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Sylvester Entertain at a Musical Wednesday
A large company of guest enjoyed an informal musical at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Sylvester on Wednesday evening, given by their daughter, Miss Nettie, Mrs. Roy Holmes, and Mr. Roy Holmes: Miss Vera Saxe assisted at the piano.
Miss Sylvester sang several selections and her sweet soprano voice was admired from those present. Mr. Holmes on the violin is a master and his selections seemed all too short for the listener. Mrs. Holmes’ readings were such that gave life and merriment to all. Her child reading simply captivated all and during the evening several guests could not help but remark "I’d rather eat at the second table" and "that isn’t the worst of it." The young people are delightful artists and their efforts certainly pleased everyone. We doubt if the party gathered at the spacious home ever spent a more pleasant evening or more fully appreciated the splendid concert.
We give below the program rendered which was heartily encored, each number graciously responding to the hearty call of more.

At the rendition of the most delightful program, light refreshments were served. It is indeed a pleasure for the home folks to meet these young people who are visiting in the village during the holidays. The only regret is that their stay among us is so short.
