Concert bv Swedish Ouartette

A concert was given last evening by a
quartette of Swedish ladies, in Bartlett's
music hall. before an audiense that made
up in enthusiasm what it lacked in num-
bers. The quartette is travelling organi-
zation that has recently sung in San
Francisco and Santa Barbara.
The memb bers are young, comely and
have strong. fresh voices. They sang
their national songs and the lighter mu-
sic on the programme very acceptably last
night; but the concerted numbers are
much more enjoyable than the soil. Miss
Hovnig has heavy voice, with very low
notes that are smooth and true; Miss Jen.
ME Norelli has flexible soprano. and
the voices of the other two of the quar-
tette blend with the others very pleas
antly.
Mr.. Abbot Dawson, who is the only
gentleman in the concert com pany. sings
in manner that savors OF stage vaude
vile rather than concert platform. ano
the topical song is more within his range
and powers than chamber music.
The Swedish Quartette will sing IL
Bartletts hall tonight and twice tomor
row, in the afternoon and evening.

The small number that took advantage
of Mrs. Ewing's repeated bread lesson
yesterday at the Y. NJ. G. A. hall was
doubtless due to the state of the weather
rather than lack of interest either in
the subject or the Young Woman's Chris
tian Association, for whose benefit the
lesson was given. The lesson itself was
substantially the same as that given last
week, which was mott ,ed at length in

IN SOCIAL LIFE

A beautiful and unique entertainment
was the luncheon given yesterday py Mrs.
Mary Z. Threlkeld in her cosy home, No.
1887 East First street. Beautiful 1t was
in its simplicity of arrangement and
daintiness of detail; unique in that the
guests were all over 20 years of age. The
little home was charmingly decorated
with smiiax, carnations. calla lilies, purple
his and graceful sprays of bridal wreath.
The place cards were oblong, made OF
rough paper and tied to each with
narrow bow of lavender ribbon was leaf
of the tsiver tree " upon which was IN
scrbed the guests name in gold letter
ing. Below was quotation, each espe-
cially apt for her for whom 1t was IN,
tended, and these quotations were reau
aloud before the luncheon began
The place cards were prepared and made
by Mrs. Margaret Collier Graham. Other
skits there were, which were also read
aloud of a humorous nature, and Original
with Mrs. Frank A. Gibson, in which the
particular fad or foible of each guest was
shown forth. Mr.. Threlkeld was present
and presided with his wife.
The guests who were seated at the
table we're Mrs. JEANNE C.Carr, Mrs. Snip
man, Mrs. Margaret V. Longley, MRS.
Howe, Mrs Rebecca Spring and Mrs; Col
lier. Those who were invited win the

the storm, as were Mrs. G. M. Severance;
Mrs. J. B. Fremont, Mrs. }. A. wills ana
one or two Others, but those who braved
the doWnpour were more than repaid not
only by the delicious luncheon which
was served according to old style customs,
but also by the quaint anecdote anu
repartee and the flood of "reminiscences
which were tossed backward and forward
during the luncheon and the hours that
followed when all had adjourned to the
drawing rooms. There were heard the
names Of Edgar Allen Poe and Horace
Greeley. DR.. Chester Dewey, Dr.. White
and DR.. Kellogg, the uncle OF Glara
Louise Kellogg. the Brook Farm Colony
and many another prominent person ana
event that had crossed the horizon OF one
or more of the guests and which were re
counted with an animation and zest thaC
gave almost as keen enjoyment 10 the
listeners. who knew of them only by re-
port as by those who had had actual con.
tact with these great minds and forces OF
other days. Literature and science
politics, reform and philanthropy were
all represented by that rare. group of
women, and the interest their reminis,,
cences aroused is more easily imagined
than described. Mrs. Spring recited in
imitably that farm ballad of Will Carle-
tons. in which the placing of an organ
in the country church is described. and
altogether the day was one which would
have been cherished long in the memories
of those present without the aid OF the
dainty souvenir cups and saucers which
were presented to the luncheon guests
lpon their departure fIom the table.

r1USICAL NOTES

The Y. Nj. c. A. Banjo, Guitar and
Mandolin Club, under direction OF Z. >.
De Lano, gave a concert last evening in
Association Hall on Broadway. The club
was assisted by James Martin and ac-
companied by Miss De Lano.
Frank Phelps, of the beginners Glass;
was presented with a diploma for having
devoted the greatest number OF nours W
then rendered. The club is doing good
aud conscientious work; they play meioo-
ious music that is appropriate tor thelr
instruments and only need little more
swing and animation in their perfor-
nance which will come with pIactlce'
Mr. Martin was in particularly goou
voice last evening. His singing is al
ways artistic, and the quality OF his voice,
which is growing both in richness and
sweetness, was shown to good advantage
in all his songs, especially SO in the encore
for his second number when he sang Lyne's
arrangement of When Love Is Done' oe-
lightfully.
The hit OF the evening was surprise,
and was not down on the programme:
A Cninaman, handsomely garbed IN
his native dress with bright lntelll-
gent face and most gentlemanly manner
appeared with u Chinese fiddle and played
a solo of Chinese music. The rapturous
applause won from ulih al Sh.o, ~ "i.N
after the concert it transpired that his
name is John Howe; his business is to
cook for ex-Mayor Thomas E: Rowan $
family, and pleasure the cultivation OF
his musical talent which is not confined
to the fiddle alone, for he sings and plays
the Chinese banjo and is now thinking OF
trying the autoharp. He gave an in
formal recital in the parlors Of the asso-
citation to an interested and clamorous
audience that clustered about him, and
showed the liveliest enjoyment in his
performance.
The regular monthly social of the asso-
citation will be given this evening under
the auspices of the Young Ladies Auxi-
liary.

tom, L am aware, to encourage the boys
IN going out into the woods and.collecting
plras eggs, and some people have an luea
that the boys get a considerable knoWl-
edge OF the habits of the birds 1t mas
oeen my experience, and | have taikeu
with quite number of them, that there
are about two boys out OF hundred VINO
make a collection Of birds eggs for the
real benefit that it may afford them III
their knowledge of the birds, and VINO
therefore lay a foundation for further
study on the subject. The other IS get all
the eggs they can for the purpose OF swap
ping or selling them, and therefore take
every egg they. find in all the nests they
come across.
There is. of course, a fine of $10 for every
egg, but this has become almost nonen-
tity, for there is no attempt whatever to
enforce 1t by the local voice. Ii the peo-
pie want the insects to increase they can
adopt no better means than just this en-
couragement of the bird collection fever
by the boys. l should think that every
mother or father who does SO encourage
their children would stop minute and
consider the wrong of the thing, not only
in criminal sense, but in moral one,
and stop this ever when it breaks out
in the breast of the boy by the APPLICATION
of a stout stick to tender portion OF the
body of their offspring.
Ii this was done we might be able to
fight the gypsy moth with some hope of
overcoming this dreadful pest within the
next six or eight years, but if the birds
are driven out completely by the boys the
State of Massachusetts will have to ap-
propriate a good many millions before
1T can hope to rid the country OF this one
insect, not to speak of the caterpillar or
the canker worm.
| sincerely hope that you will call the
attention of everyone whom you meet to
this awful destruction of the birds, and
my experience will help you to draw
most excellent illustration of what these
little friends are capable of doing in just
one season. | might go on and calculate
the number of insects those $50 birds would
have eaten during the summer or the early
part of it, but neither you nor anyone else
would believe mo, for it is something
certainly surprising.
just let people understand the import
ance of encouraging the building of
birds nests of every kind, except the
English sparrow, in their neighborhood
and then you will have started plan
that is of the greatest benefit to the
community. We must keep our birds,
and nothing in the shape of boys or
English sparrows should be allowed Ito
drive them away, no matter if they do eat
a few vegetables and small fruits; in the
spring they fully make up for it, and if
the time does come when they all disap-
pear, the people of this state will then
wish they had spent a little more time in
looking into this important subject.
