CONCERT SOPRANO, HEARD IN RECITAL Popular Singer Has a Voice of Excep tional Quality and Perfect tech nical Equipment—English, French, German and Italian Songs The recital given by Miss Lucy March, one of America's most gifted concert sopranos, was a treat such as Harrisburg music lovers have rarely en joyed before. Miss Marsh, of pleasing personality, possesses a pure soprano voice of exceptional quality and' perfect technical equipment. The program consisted of songs in German, French, Italian...and English and if it were possible, the enthusiastic audience became a little more generous in their applause, and expressions of appreciation, over the latter group. The "Sunshine Son'" by Grcig, "Birth of Morn" by Leoni and Wood man's "A Birthday" were best re ceived of the English group and the former was sung with great loveliness and tender plaintiveness, characteristic of the Norwegian composer. Newell Albright played the accom paniments in his usual pleasing and capable manner. Mrs. M. E. Finney Hostess Mrs. Martin E. Finney' entertained the members of the Woman's Miasion ary Society of the Second Reformed church, at her home, 1407 North Front street, last evening.

Just One Application and the Hairs Vanish (Toilet Talks) Any woman can keep her skin free from unsightly hair or fuzz if she will follow these simple instructions: When hairy growths appear, apply a simple paste, made by mixing some water with powdered delatone. Apply this to hairy surface and after 2 or 3 minutes rub off, wash the skin and the hairs are gone. This is a harmless treatment, but be sure you get the real delatone. —■ Adv.
