MISS BEyFEy'S SECOND READING.

Mise Ida Benfsy gave the second Of her series Of
readings at the Carnegie Lyceum yesterday after
noon in the presence OF a good-slzed audience Her
selections were from Molere's lie Bourgeois Gen
tlhomme" and Brown.ngs I'm a Balcony. Miss
Benfey presented both with skill appreciation and
effect, The passages from Moliere were entertain
Ing and enjoyable. Many people from time to
time have succeeded In listening TO readings from
Browning but 1t is usually hard task. His work
is usually best appreciated by one who holds the
book In his own hand. Miss Benfey did all that
could be expe tied with the poem, but II Is almost
impossible for reader to convey good effect with
such a work TO a large audience. The last reading
OF the series will be on Tuesday evening of next
week and the seec tons Will be from the writings
OF Mary f. wilkins Ruth McEnery Stuart and
Frances Hodgson Burnett.
