The music pupils of Mrs. Ella H. Buchanan gave their second recital last Friday evening at the residence of their tutor, Butler avenue. Ambler, and a most delightful occasion it proved to b,< both socially and froin a musical standpoint. Over 100 invited guests were present, aud the character of the selections was higli aud the pupils all showed remarkable progress since the first recital.
The program comprised vocal and instrumental selections, aud the pupils were assisted by the Presbyterian church chorus aud the solos of Joseph H. Buchanan, Charles F. Buchanan aud Hurry L. Hackett, which were vociferously encored, and also the beautiful violin selection given hy Luther R. Shearer, of North Wales, whose efforts earned him well deserved applause. He was accompanied ou the piauo by Miss Helen Bucliauau, who also rendered a vocal selection, the violin obligato being rendered by Mr. Shearer. Mis5 Bucliauau, ou being encored, responded with an instru¬ mental selection.
Ir wonld be extremely difficult to offer a comparison of the efforts, as the pupils did themselves and their teacher full and ample justice. Mrs. Bnchauan had several two-piano, eight-hand, selections, [the first being given by Mi.sses Marion Posey, Anna Mcllhenny, Edith Pole and Lulu Ger¬ hart; the second by Misses Miriam Couklin, Mildred Jenkins, Erlua Ber¬ gey aud Alberta 'Vogt; the third by Misses Lillian and Marian Vogt and Misses Margaret and Tacy Hough.

Instrumental selections were also reudered by Alberta Vogt, Agnes M. SeliolB, Grace W. Posey, Louisa Jenk¬ ins, William Kern aiid Misses May and Viola Everham. which were ail appreciated t\y the attentive audience.
The vocal selections furnished a sweet and refreshing variety, m the dulcet aud well modulated voices of Miss Ethel Heiss, Miss Edith Pole, William Bergey and the fall, round and rich voices of Miss Marion Pcsey, Miss Lulu Gerhart and Miss Buchan¬ an, all displayed careful training of melody and technique and gave ample evidence of both }irogress, aud also of enc<>Uragement aud promise for future vocal achievements.
Aftier tiie program had been rendered and congratulations extended teacher i»nd {iapil<-, refreshriiems were served &ud the delightful evening closed with sooial-i!iT'-''iiiv-", 'liiiii'ini; -oid more mnsic.
