Notwithstanding the unpleasant wealth
er yesterday afternoon the beautiful rooms

The following program was rendered
before a very appreciative audience by

There were some pretty groups of hats,
by the wav, at an Easter wedding in Trim
ity church this noon. Its almost worth
marriage to stand among such tall while
lilies, stainless and stately on their green
stems; but my business Is rather TO tell
you of little clover capote than to extole
the florist for having coddled his flowers
in cotton wool up to the last minute so
successfully.
The capote was small and round and
woven of rough creamy brown straw. 1t
had certain brown loops. and ends of
brown ribbons, but what leant ID beauty
was q heavy headed bunch of the dear
common, moving field clovers fastened
et one side and seemingly bait for the
bees.

Of feeling. This was not so apparent In
her playing Of the difficult Sarasate Ro-
mama, as in. the other selections, and her
purity of tone, fine technique and effect
i've bowling showed to excellent advan-
taQe.
The work of the pianist, Miss Marian
Mosher was very enjoyable both as an
accompanist aud soloist, although as the
latter, her Interpretation OF the Chopin
Impromptu was marred at times by the
sacrificing of its poetry, for brilliancy OF
execution.
The two selections made by Miss Mos
her were interesting and amusing. Miss
Mosher read naturally and easily hold
ing the attention of the audience through
out.
The singing OF Mr.. Walter j. Towne is
so well-known it Is unnecessary to COM
ment upon 1t. II is sufficient to say he
was in splendid voice and was obliged to
respond to an encore.
The entertainment was success artis-
tically and from appearances financially
also.
Among the prominent society ladies
present were noticed, Mrs. William Ames.
Mrs. Roscoe s. Washburn, Miss Gros-
venor, Miss Fenner, the Misses Rhodes,
Miss Hall, Miss Dwight, Mrs. Brownell,
Miss Seabury, Mrs. Albert Carpenter and
MIS-. Frances SullJn.
A performance will be given on the
evening of May IL, of Jerome X. Jerome's
pretty comedietta of Barbara at the ANA

All Saints Church Cadets, with the fol-
lowing cast: Miss Paddock, Miss Shep-

Perry, followed by a farce entitled Fun

Joe and John Henshaw, Fowler, Greene,
Hoffman and Shirley. Dancing from ten

This evening the Friday Evening

people will give the last dance Of the sea-
son at Tillin0hast's Assembly rooms. A
German will be the feature of the evening
and an elaborate supper will be served.
The affectation OF the Elite in habitually
speaking of "Our Town." suggests that

heved that the ordeal was over, but still
more than little bit frightened. This
contemner of the solemnities had hat
formed entirely Of soft, big-petaled gray
poppies with yellowish middles frill OF
white lace edged the brim, and this had
floating strings of gray watered ribbon.
TO the ends OF which were sewn poppies,
quite in the most fashionable and crush
able fashion.
There was a tulip hat in dull reseda
green straw, with the fiesh-tinted and
deep red flowers on IL, Offering perpetual
challenge. Under the wide brim was n
deep scarf of black lace that seemed
somehow to present coduettish apologies
for the bold beauty OF the flowers above.
The bridesmaids have certain claim to
recognition for the fantastic prettiness OF
their wide-brimmed Leghorn hats with
trimmings Of drangling buttercup stems.
Their ruched aud fiounced skirts were OF
yellow bengaline, and they wore Louis
XIV. coats OF yellow and white brocade.
The bride wore princess dress of the
white brocaded satin and point lace that
is customary and uniuteresting.

fireplace with its old.fashioned looking
settles.
On the chimney breast under the man

came out of the ancient hostel or The

one side is sculptured the arms OF the
city and on the other the sign of the
hostelry Above the mantel are two huge
dragons sculptured in the plaster aud
gilded.
One of the settles has rare old piece OF
tapestry set in the back and above are
shelves filled with bric-a-brac. Beyond
this, winding stairs, broken by several
landings, connect with two semi-circular
galleries, which run the entire length OF
the room. A large window furnishes the
much-desired north light.

Ariou Eestival.

Manager p. w. Lowell of the Arion
Festival announces an addition in the
program to be given on Wednesday next,
which will undoubtedly prove a great
source of pleasure to the patrons of tho
entertainment. In connection with his
other solos Edward Lloyd will sing the
famous tenor, SOLO, "Cujus Amman
from Rossinis "Stabat Mater" This is
one of the most difficult scores ever writ
ten for the tenor voice and is only at
tempted by artists whose voices are
not only of great compass and the finest
quality, but also Of the most robust
power. This number was last sung here
at the Arion Festival of last year by
Mons. Guile. 1t will be interesting to
compare the work of these two men, who
stand pre-eninent In their two schools OF
music-the one English and the other

In other respects these two concerts Did
fair to be marked by superior quality Of
work. Those who heard the Hymn OF
Praise on Tuesday last will be only too
ready to hear 1t again, and those who did
not hear it should not miss the opportu-
nifty.
