reaches far back to the early years OF the

of honor.

Wednesday at the residence of Mrs. j.
Charles Appleby on Bentley avenue. The
topic was @F1ances !. and his Times"
The Stevens Banjo, Mandolin and Glee
Clubs will give a concert In the high School
building on Saturday evening, January IL.
This excellent organization is too well known
to need further commend, Their concerts
are always social events.
1t will interest a large number of young
people to know that Mrs. Edward Schroeder
Of koseville, formerly of Kensington avenue,
will conduct a dancing class on the Heights
as usual this year. The name of the in
structor has not been announced, but it will
probably be Prof. William Pitt Rivers OF
Brooklyn, who was the teacher last year. 1t
will be remembered that when Marw1gs
class was proposed, Mrs. Schroeder consider
ed that her own would not be large enough,
and withdrew. 1t has been found, however,
that there was plenty of material for two
good classes, and Mrs. Schroeder's friends
have been asking her to come back for the
last month or more. 1t has just been decided
that the class VIII be held THIS year, as usual,
in Feye Hall.
Mrs. Waits lectures on literary history,
which have been suspended during the holt
day season, viii begin again on january IL,
1894 The subject for the first talk will be,
ARTIST Life in Holland" one in which Mrs.
| W dll Will Dc tuCllOiJ az Cile anu OfdiPISo
with a store of personal experiences. The
time set is half-past three o'clock in the af-
ternoon. After this the lectures will be held
at intervals of two weeks, at the same time
of day, and at the residence of Mrs. Wait, at
No. 81 York street. The subjects for the
talks are as follows:-February 2, Peculiar
Island Dwellers: February 16, Two Ends of
the Roman Wall; March 2, Rouen, the
Heart of Normandie.
On the sixteenth of March, Mrs. Wait
will give a talk on ''Fo~ntainbleau mature
and Art" which will be illustrated. Mrs.
Waits parlors are always overiowing on
the occasions of these talks. There will be
excellent music as usual at each meeting.
The lecture to be given tonight by Mr..
Frederic Dean at Hasbrouck Hall promises
to be the most interesting of an interesting
course. The subject is "Frederic Chopin"
one which alone would be sufficient to arouse
interest among musicians, even were it not
for the fact that Mr.. Dean from his close
study of Chopin's music, brings to
his work the researches of a student no
/ less than the enthusiasm of an admirer.
This is the lecture which attracted such at
tention when published in the Etude not long
ago. 1t was critically reviewed and highly
praised by the RevielU of Reuie,Cs, extensive
" quoted and republished in England. In it
be will speak OF the influence of Madame
George Sand upon Chopin, a subject upon
which he has decided views.
The musical illustrations will take the
form of a piano recital by Mr.. Gustav L.
Becker of New York city, who has chosen
the following numbers:-
l. Poionaise-Op. a.. No. 2, c minor.
z. Etudes-Op. 10. Nos. 3 and IL.
8. Valse in D fiat arranged as q concert stujy
by Joseffy).
4. Mazurka-op. Z. No. J. B fiat major.
s. Larghetto from Concerto In F minor. OPP.
8. n octurne-op. 81, No, 2 G major.
Z. Ballade-G minor, OPP. rs.
The well known minute waltz will be
played with Rafael Joseffy's equally well
known arrangement. Mr.. Baier will play
the orchestral accompaniment to the con-
cert.
The plan has been TO give such musical
numbers as should represent the principal
and distinctive forms Of Qhopin's music, the
concert etude, the waltz, the nocturne, the
mazurka, the polonaise, the ballad and the
concerto Vladimir de Pachmann in con-
versation with Mr., Becker a few days ago,
gave his opinion that the programme was
thoroughly characteristic. This is praise
from Sir Hubert Stanley.
