LITERATURE AND ART.
Music as an Adjunct-What the
"0dd Volumes" are Doing.

When literature, music and art join
forces to produce an evenings entertain
ment, the result passes the telling. Such
IN evening was that rendered the mem
bers and friends of the ''Odd Volumes" !"
best known of our literary societies. when
last night they were entertained by Miss
Kitty Crowen with a musicale at the resi-
dence of DR.. P. j. Koonz, on Communi-
paw avenue. There are few houses bet
ter adapted for entertaining on a large
scale; the broad drawing rooms open
from both sides of the entrance hall. and
the walls are hung with one of the finest
private collection of paintings in the
city. The artists who appeared were:-
Mrs. iHood-Fenn, at the piano; Mrs. z.
Howard Slater, Miss Celia Gaines. Mrs.
Robert q. Lyle and Mr.. Harry Lincoln
Case. The programme was opened by
Mrs. Hood-t'enn, who played success
svely Liszr polouaise, Rubinstein
staccato aud an impromp of Schumann,
which should be taken to fairly represent
the phases of Mrs Fenn's WORK, although
the polonaise, in its rapid pianissimo rep
etition of the heme, displayed thetwonder-
FULLY light and delicate touch which dis
tnguishes her style. Mrs. Slater gave to
Schubert's "Impatience" all The impetu-
Gus ardor that the composition demands,
singing also 'The Forbidden Song" and
in response to recall, "Love's Old Sweet
Song" Walters "Prize Song" from "Die
Meistersinger" was given as violin solo
by Mr.. H.. l.. Case, who also played
Wieniawski's "Legende" and "Ber-
ceuse" by Leruda. 1t is hard work to
criticize the work of Mr. Case-the critics
who have said everything of his work
that could be suid. are now reduced to
Vl,. fk.,% No..
appeared, knowing hat anyone who has
heard him will supply all the comp j.
mentary adjectives. Mr.. Case also sang
d "MadrigaP' by Cnamainde. and Cowen's
Song of Morning." in which recent
cold marred his fine tenor voice. Mrs. r.
g. Lyle accompanied all the soloists-
THE LITERARY ELEMENT.
Miss Celie Gaines, President of the
club, supplied literary element to the
programme by the reading of an original
ketch, "A Memory Picture" describing
with earnestness and fidelity Sc eene from
real life. 1t is evident that Miss Gaines
has learned the secret of authorship-to
see. to understand, to remember. to re-
late. Miss Gaines also read a bright ada
dress. "ro an Old Hymn Book"
AT the conclusion OF the programme,
supper was served by Woods, and CONVEX
sation occupied the remainder Of the
evening. MRS. W. Hunter Brown played,
