The Sapptao club, which f urmshed so many delightf ui evenings last, year has oeen reorganized and Mrs. Charles Stevens elected president.' The flrst meeting for the season, which was a public one, was held Wednesday evening at the Ladies' Library, where a delightf ui program was rendered. A sketch of Polish music and its composers, read by Mrs. Yerkes, was most entertaimng and instructive. A duet, " Polish Dances," by Scharwenka, was played by Misses Bird and Longhray; the' "Trio Serenata," by Moszkowski, was rendered by the Haydn Trio In such a manner as to cali forth an enthusiastic encoré, to which they responded. Miss Cheshire also rendered the " Melody, Op. 10," by Moszkowski, in a very pleasing manner. "The Ring," by Chopin, was sung by Miss Myrtle Edwards, who is the possessor of a beautif ui voice, rich and powerful. Her singing has a touch of pathos that goes straight to the hearts of her hearers. Miss Marie Gareissen is always heard with pleasure by an Ypsilanti audience, and her appearance AVedhesday evening was greeted with hearty applause. Her selection, "The Maiden"s Wish," by Chopin, was rendered in a truly artistic manner, calling forth an encoré, to which she did not respond Two of the performers who were ex pected to be present were unable to appear, and the program was ended with a violin solo, " Polish Dance," b Wieniawski, which was played by Mr Frank Smith in his usual pleasing style. The Sappho club will meet during the coming season on the first Wednesday evening of each month, a 8 o'clock, in the Ladies' Library par lors.
