The herald., 1896-01-22

The most brilliant social-musical function
ing by Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Carlos Jones
at their home on West Twenty-seventh
street to large number of their friends,
who assembled to hear program given
by the Monday Musical club.
The beautiful hostess was assisted in re-
ceiving her friends by her sister, Mrs. Orr
Haralson. The two looked most charming,
gowned alike in white organdie over pink
silk. The plain round skirts and full
bodices were given an additional air of ele-
CANT simplicity by natural wreath of pale
pink roses around the low neck.
The hostess was assisted in receiving
also by Mrs. Ezra T. Stimson, in very
handsome gown of lilac broeade that glis-
tened with profusion of silver passemen-
terie. and by Mrs. Scarborough, in a very
elegant creation of cream brocaded satin,
trimmed with pearls.
All the rooms of the lower floor of the
house, which were thrown together for the
observation-disclosures most artistcally decor
ated. The reception hall, from which rose
balustrade of smilax, was effective in
contrasts of yellow and green. The first
drawing room was characteristic in white,
white roses being arranged in large clus-
ters with background of smilax. About
the walls of the library ran graceful net
tings of green, relieved by groups of bril-
liant poinsetta. The dining-room was
beautiful in surroundings of pink. Large
cut-glass candleabra bearing pink candles
occupied the center of the table. Above,
from the chandelier, radiated wide bands
of pink satin ribbon, ending at the corners
of the table, where they gracefully caught
up the cloth, in long falling bows.
of I'M rr1nfi
| numerous small candles burning under
pink shades assisted in carrying out the
color scheme.
The music room, which was decorated in
Marie Henriette roses and violets, was o.
pied with the musicians, who entertained
the audience with programme of nine
difficult selections from different COM
posers, illustrating their varied style and
talent. The opening number was Con-
ISOLATION, piano, by Liszt, rendered with
character and finish by Mrs. w. T. Bots
ford, who also played the piano accompa-
niments throughout the evening.
A soprano solo, Thou Brilliant Bird, fol-
lowed, sung by Mrs. Orr HARRISON 10 an
enthusiastic encore Mrs. Haralson re-
sponded with Sleep, Little Rosebud, Sleep.
In the soft, sweet tones of this lullaby. in
contrast to the clear, brilliant notes of the
first selection. the singer showed to the
finest advantage the fiexibility of her beau
tiful voice.
A harp solo, The Gypsy Girl, by Bochsa,
came next, given by Mrs. Gottschalk. This
was particularly well received, and in res
ponse to an encore Mrs. Gottschalk gave
Home, Sweet Home, with variations by
Bochsa very delightfully."-.
The fourth selection of the program, a
soprano solo, Song of the Fairies, beauti-
fully given by Mrs. James Burdette, was
followed by two piano selections. Song, and
Chaminade's Pierett9, brilliantly per-
formed by Mrs. Byrne.
The next number. Doris, by Nevin, with
a violin obligato by Miss Mullins, was sung
by Mrs. j. g. Scarborough. The sweet con-
tralto voice of the singer was again heard
in an encore of Graben- Hoffman's Fare
Thee Well.
Mrs. J. Bond Francisco followed with
delightful soprano song, Invocation, by
Guy d'Hardeiot, with harp and violin obli-
gate by Mrs. Gottschalk and Mr.. J. Bond
Francisco.
After duet, A Figlia Incanta, by Doni-
zetti. sung by Mrs. Haralson and Mrs.
