james Stephen Martin, will De the ap-
pearance Of Miss Blanche Newcomb,
the volinist. who will contribute two
solos and also play the violin obligato to
Miss Hastings song. Miss Newcomb
studied in Berlin under the great
Joachim, having fairly won the privi-
eqe OF becoming his pupil by competing
with a large class OF applicants. After
two years OF earnest study she returned
TO this country, located in Ptts6urg

teaching. The salient points OF Miss
Newcom5's playing are purity Of tone
and breadth of style for the display OF
which "Meloda Divina," HandePs
Longs" afford abundant opportunities,
While In the Hungarian Dance, by
Brain, are great possibilities for deli
cate aud brilliant execution, style
for which she has earned the strongest
praise.

where Blancas and BeatriceS of the fif-
teenth century took their tiny constitu-
tiOnals III high heeled boots. They never
walked on the streets, and common men
never gazed upon their faces, The muir
muir from the town scarcely reached the
green bowers near the clouds where they
satand embroidered or strummed the gui-
tar. They were content with very little,
those Genoese ladies whose s'counterfeit
presentments looked down at US from
the shadows of big hats on canvases
worth their weight i'll gold.
After few hours i'll this still beauti-
full, now empty, palace, I longed to gaze
upon the present owner. OF course he
held high Office in Genoa, lived in a
comfortable house more suitable to mod
ern taste and carried himself with d
rlajesty BETTING one who has a line Of
shadowy, arist0cratic ancestors in the
near perspective. Alas for the pathos OF
real Efe! The palace, like SO many 9TH
ers, belongs to the government, an I the
last scion of a great family makes his
living by teaching Italian in London
school
One bit of advice to the traveller far
from home: Place not your faith in the
business tactics nor the enticing smiles
of the merchants and hotel keepers in q
seaport town. Go into it skeptic and
count your change always. Our time
Of reckoning came. We found we had
been charged double the usual price for
everything-f d box at the theater,
where, strangely enough an Italian YER
sion of ''Charley's Aunt had been Civ
en-; at the shops, where we INDUCED in
some of the filagree trifles for which
Genoa is noted; at the hotel, where we
paid So per day for that lean, consump-
tive fire and where every candle seemed
a small bonfire Of dollars; at the station,
where a most polite guard registered our
trunks at twice their weight and pre-
tended he had made mistake of 81. so
in change. For tricks that are vain
the seaport is peculiar. Hard work pro-
vides the merchants with the necessities
of life, and the gullible traveller pro-
vides the Injuries. We thought of this
as we saw the blond clerk at our hotel
bowling himself to the doormat when we
drove away in a maze of trunks. He
was thanking US humbly for the money
we had left with him, and which we
did not spend. Beautiful Genoa, whose
streets and delicately tinted house fronts
suggested the setting Of an opera, whose
medieval palaces and iron grated Win
dows recalled thrilling stories where the
fan of beauty and the dagger of a de-
spised lover had played equal parts-it
can never be forgotten. It is like that
beautiful land that Byron wrote of where
s'Only man is vile - KATE JORDAN.
