Show A Suggestive Soiree The Western Instltuteot Psychology held the first of Its open evenings last Monday at the appartments of Miss Cassldy at the Palace. The entire evening was redolent of pleasant suggestions sug-gestions and every part of the program bore witness to the tremendous power of the law of suggestion. First a reading read-ing told how success depends on the idea uppermost In our minds. Then Mrs. Armstrong read some suggestive thoughts from Emerson. Mrs. Barrett followed with an amusing story of how now thought ideas may penetrate even childish minds. Mrs. Champ read Edwin Ed-win Arnold's "He and She," showing how suggestion may tako the sting out of death. Two excellent papers were read: one, by Mrs. Henry Hay-ball Hay-ball on the psychology of "Othello;" aud the other, by Mrs De Vrles "On Faith." The lighter part of the program pro-gram was a piano solo by Miss Susan Gates, who plaed brilliantly the first movement of one of Beethoven's sonatas; son-atas; a violin solo by Miss Phyllis Thatcher, who gave a soulful" rendering render-ing of Gounod's "Meditation; and Mr. Fritz Champ gave an artistic touch to the evening by passing around Perry pictures of the old masters aud ex plaining what suggestions could be gained from them. Murdock was caterer ca-terer and furnished a toothsome luncn. This is the first of a series of eveulngs which Miss Cassldy and her psyche-logical psyche-logical pupils will give, and there Is every reason to(think that thus a psychological salon will be founded In Lpgaa to which It will be an honor to have tho entree and which will be a strong inllucnce for good in tho Intellectual Intel-lectual life of the city. n |
