Songs of Scotland Address by Mr. Heugha7i LYCEUM CLUB RECEPTION The influence of Scottish music on the life of the Scottish race provided a very interesting sub* j ject for Mr. William Heughan, the Scottish singer, at the reception given in his honour at the Lyceum Club last evening. Obviously it was a subject very close to his heart. He told his hearers that before the war he had been studying grand opera in Italy, but when the war came and when the comradeship of so many splendid officers of the great Scottish ! regiments was ended in all too many ! cases by death, he felt- that he could j no longer be a cosmopolitan, as an operatic singer must be, but instead threw himself heart and soul into the study of the music of his own country and ended by carrying its story and the story of its sister countries into the furthermost corners of the Empire. Mr. Heughan urged the women of New Zealand to see to it that the children of the country were taught the songs and the music of Britain, the songs that the brave old pioneers of England, Scotland and Ireland had sung many a time to help and inspire them in their moments of strain and trial. The club rooms were daintily decorated with bowls of arum lilies, jars of pussy willow and masses of daffodils. Mrs. Buttle presided and the evening’s programme was provided by the musical and dramatic circle. Piano solos were contributed by Mr. Eric Waters, violin solos by Miss Ina Bosworth, card conjuring by "Kado,” the magician, and an attractive dance was given by four of Madame Baird’s pupils. A play, ‘ Between the Songs and the Savoury,” also proved a welcome contribution to the programme. The parts were taken by Mrs. Verran, Mrs. Holiday and Miss Anita Webster. Mrs. Heughan, who accompanied her husband, was wearing an attractive gown of black satin crepe with a corsage of brocaded silver cloth. Mr. D. Heughan was also present with his wife, who wore a frock of black satin carreau panelled with gold lace and a drap of oriental velvet. Miss Bell was wearing a georgette frock under a wrap of gold metal cloth and lace.
