SOCIAL GOSSIP.


expenditure of orange blossoms, a display of
other accessories that to the male biped in
single wretchedness is absolutely appalling.
Like other maladies the matrimonial mania is
infectious, and such is the force of example
that several young men who have been on the
very suspender of suspense, have straig ghtway
gone and popped the question:. This in due
time win result in more music of the
triumphal order with the usual melau9e of
scenic effects, congratulations and ct ceteras.

being the marriage of Mr.. Louis Fischer and
Miss Schonarth.
The silver wedding anniversary of Mr.. and
Mrs. Adam Finck will be celebrated this even
ing at their residence on Pleasant avenue. The

ightful character of the event, and those for
tuaate enough to attend will have occasion to
remember the event as one of the golden
treasures of memory.
Prof. Leib reports larger accessions of pupils
from distance than ever before, and says
every hour of his time is filed with lessons.

The First Of the Organ EecitaSs.
The first Of the BALDWIN afternoon Organ
Recitals occurred at the House of Hope
church at S o'clock Friday. Nothing of the
kind has been attempted in this city, with the
single exception of similar series presented
at the Baptist church three years ago, by the
talented organ1st, Mr.. Goodyear; and certaia
degree of novelty is accordingly associated
with this sort of an entertainment in this
city. he Baldwin recital of last Friday was
decided success. First, because the day was
ulUSt UcdutliuA duV uOuf CVuvCulcub Ou6
for ladies to be out unattended; secondly, be-
cause the programme was arranged 80 as not
to let the heaviness Of the greater portion of
the selections fall in too rapid succession nor
too often on the listening ear. Nothing trivial
appeared on the programme, and yet there was
sufficient variety to apparently please
all. Thirdly, the success of the recital was
mainly due. to Mr.. Baldwin's skill in the
manipulation Of his instrument. His PLAYING
evinced the conscienclous study aad unwea-
rying practice he has given during his absence
IN Germany, as also the taste and wisdom of
the great Mecca under whom he studied. Mr.
Baldwin already possesses much of that which
technique can give and as he is not hardly yet
out of his teens, it is believed that he
will also add what age and
experience q is opposed to afford.
A pleasing and prominent feature Of the re-
ctal was the excellent singing Of Miss Thurs
ton. She betrayed great care and skill in her
vocalism, especially in the selection of Rossini,
"8eparation." The aria from Hayden's Gre
alton was also neatly done, though it seems
to us that orat0rio selections require larger
volume of voice than Miss Thurston possesses
at the present time. The audience was much
larger than was expected at the first recital,
and argues tnat the Others will be still more
largely attended, especially as all seemed
thoroughly pleased. Another recital will oc.
cur at five O'Clock next Friday afternoon, and
Mr.. Saynor, a splendid baritone, recently loca-
ted in St. Paul, will be the vocalist.
