The parlor musicale given at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph L. Rawlins
last evening under the patronage OF the
Ladies Society of the Unitarian church
was in every way a delightful and joyous
affair.
The mere announcement that Nat Brig
ham was to sing, gave to the musicale a
social eclat and the spacious parlors of the
RaWlins mansion were too small to seat all
that were attracted by the well ordered
programme of musical numbers.
There was some delay caused by the
late arrival OF the male Quartette, but DR..
Utter was equal to the emergency and
spiced the social chat with humorous
representations of the coming events.
In prefacing the programme the doctor
explained that to obviate delay the en-
cores would be- given first.
Mrs. Pollock gracefully rendered Men
delssohn IS Scherza and replied to an en-
core with Rubenstein's medley in f.
The quartette composed of Messrs. Ash
worth, Havens, Crumett and Squires
contributed ssReveries, - by Storch. Mr..
John Robinson's baritone solo, "The
Stormfeid,'' by Broeckel, was sung in
good voice. Mr.. Bert Haven IS s'Come to
Ne, y by Denza, created very good i'm
preston of the new tenor and elected
hearty recognition.
Mr.. NJ. D. Parker certainly succeeded
in mellowing his cornet down to a very
agreeable pitch and his notes in 1.-THE
Lost Chord were Sbalmy'' with melody,
the sharp shrill and piercing blasts of this
instrument being modulated to suit the
parIor acoustics.
The soprano and tenor duet, s'Oh That
We Two Were Maying,' though a little
far fetched. warmed the cookies in the
hearts of Judge Henderson, Arthur
{fnInnaI Of DuFlnxr williams
District Attorney Varian and the other
old-timers who we're present.
Mrs. V. NJ. c. Silva, who is always
lovely and winsOme, sang a spring song
as sweetly as a bird and responded to a
warm acknowledgement with ''Wooing,'
that was also charmingly presented.
When Mr.. Brigham came forward with
ali his impressiveness there was a lull of
expectation. Abt's EMBARRASSMENT
was full of feryor and we'll intended for
his fine tenor voice. But It was reserved
for Mr.. Brigham's response TO an eager
re-demand &c score the triumph OF the
evening. Nothing more delightful in
There, Little Girl, DON'T Cry of
James Whitcomb Riley, and Mr.. Brig
ham sang the child song in way that al
most made one weep.
The words are worth knowing, for it is
seldom that such a tender tribute is set to
music with such pretty pathos:
There, little girl don't cry,
They have broken your doll know;
And you tea set blue,
And your playhouse too,
Are things of long ago.
But childish troubles
VIII soon pass by,
There little girl don't cry, don't cry,
They have broken your slate know,
And the glad wild ways Of your schoolgirl
plays
Are things of long ago.
But life and love VIII soon come by,
There little girl, don't CRY, don't cry.
There little girl, don't cry,
They have broken your heart know,
And the rainbow CLEANS OF your youthful
dreams
Are things OF long ago
But heaven holds ali for which you sigh,
Heaven holds all for which you sigh,
There little girl, don't cry. don't CRY.
Messrs. Ashworth, Haven, Crumett and
Souires sang two selections and demon
strated that they have the right timber to
make an excellent quartettee.
After the singing refreshments were
served by the ladies, aud the evening
could not have been more happily spent.
