MANCHESTER WOMAN’S CLUB 
CHOIR Bows FROM ST. Paut’s, Bos- 
TON, SING. 
HE regular meeting of the Man- 
chester Woman’s club Tuesday 
afternoon partook of the nature of a 
Christmas observance and was one of 
the most interesting and most pleas- 
ant meetings of the season. ‘The well- 
known and equally well-liked Miss 
Ruth Garland was the reader of the 
afternoon, and her subject, ‘“Dram- 
atics from the Bible,” was one well 
adapted to her own intensely dram- 
atic personality and style of reading. 
The musical portion of the program 
was admirably furnished by choir 
boys from St. Paul’s church in Bos- 
ton and it was very well received. 
The program was as follows: 
1. Singing of Traditional Carols 
(a) Good Christmas Men Rejoice 
(b) I Saw Three Ships 
(e) First Noel 
(b) What Child Is This? 
Choir Boys 
2. (a) The Story of Esther 
(b) The First Part of the Story of Ruth 
(¢) David and Goliath 
Miss Garland 
(a) The Virgin Stills the Crying 
(b) Away ina Manger (Martin Luther) 
Choir Boys 
) Readings from the Scripture 
-(b) The Little, Gray Lamb 
(¢) The Selfish Giant (Oscar Wilde) 
Miss Garland 
5. (a) Hail, All Hail the Glorious Morn 
(From the Bohemian) 
(b) The Shepherd’s Christmas 
(Austrian carol, dated 1810) 
Choir Boys 
6. The Story of Mary Magdalene (Told in 
the first person) 
Miss Garland 
The work of the eight choir boys 
was of such a uniform excellence 
that it is difficult to pick out any one 
selection as the best, but it is safe to 
say that everyone enjoyed at least as 
much as any “First Noel,’ “I Saw 
Three Ships,” and “The Shepherd’s 
Christmas Song.” The solo work in 
“Away in a Manger” is especially 
worthy of commendation. 
Miss Garland’s_ selections were 
very good, the readings from the 
Bible having, of course, an intrinsic 
value that was enhanced by the artis- 
tic interpretation the reader gave to 
them. The portion of the story of 
Ruth was a sweet, simple thing and 
Miss Garland was at her best in that, 
bringing out -all the strength of 
Ruth’s pure character with infallible 
toch. The fairy tale by Wilde, 
“The Selfish Giant,” was interesting 
from many points of view, from that 
of the lover of Oscar Wilde’s works, 
and from that of the lover of any ar- 
tistic bit of literature correctly and 
feelingly rendered. “The Little, Gray 
Lamb” was a Christmas poem that

was.in itself an unusual presentation 
of the Christ child, 
made vivid by 
Miss Garland’s sympathy. Her clos- 
ing number, “The Story of Mary 
Magdalene,” was very artistic, and 
was sincerely appreciated by the audi- 
ence. Her work showed throughout, 
unusual strength and sincerity, and 
she added Manchester to ner long list 
of towns and cities where her name 
will long be remembered. 
The Chapel was quite festive in its 
dress of evergreen and with the gay 
plants of Jerusalem cherries, and tue 
social hour which followed the pro- 
gram was one of the most pleasant cf 
the, year. Cakes and tea were served 
by Miss Jean Coulter and her assist- 
ants.
