CHRISTMAS Music. music al
Christ church yesterday was unusually
good. and the excellent choral work
reflected great credit upon Miss Katha-
rine Stuart, the directress. The solos
were all very we'll rendered. The
opening solo "There were shepherds
abiding" was sung by Miss Blanche
Rotchford. This was followed by q
chorus from "Creation." The solos and
duets in Dudley Bucks TIE Deum were
sung by Misses Rotchford and Stuart
and Mr.. Horace Schwartz. During the
offertory Miss Cuthbert Ruckner, late
soprano of Epiphany church, Washing,
tgn, sang Whitney Combs's "Bethle-
hem" The Christmas music will ba
repeated tomorrow.
At Grace church tomorrow full
Christmas music will be sung at both
services. The evening programme will
include Magnificent, Nunc Dimi;tis, Fall
lis Trimnell, and other music appro-
pirate to the Christmas feast.
The music at st. Paul's Church yes.
terday was of an elaborate and brilliant
character we'll worthy of special no.
tice. 1t was produced under the rec
ognized able direction of Mrs. Virgin 2
Evans o. Brien, who also enriched tfe
performance with contralto solo ia
the Veuite, which afforded the fullest
enjoyment to the congregation. Miss
Caroline Evans sang soprano solo in
the offertory which exhibited to ad
vantage the sweetness and the wide
range OF her voice from high to low. Miss
Uhler sang with excellent effect Sc
prano solo in the Venite, also in the
Jubilate. Mr.. Frank Field sang a tenor
solo in the TIE Deum with purity and
sweetness of tone. Mr.. George h.
Evans sang several bass solos, all in his
usual most acceptable style. Miss Hattie
Taylor and Mr.. Courtney Houck were
the violinists of the occasion, and con
tributed to the brilliant character of
the music in degree that could NJ t
fail of lively appreciation by the dis
eliminating audience. MIR. Sherna i
Fowler presided ct the organ with at
parts, notably subtle skill, which not
rarely marks his mastery of his
instrument. The same programme
will be repeatrd tomorrow morning
and there will be fine programme at
the evening service.
Although there was 10 special pro-
gramme at ST. Mary's Church yester-
day, the music was exceptionally line.
The singing at Grace Church yester-
day was also very good.
There will he special programn o OF
music sung at the Baptist Church and
the M. E, Church tomorrow.

AQUIET CHRIsTMAs.-It has been q
noticeable fact that Christmas Day has
of late years become comparatively
speaking q quiet season. Yesterday
was exceptionally so. In fact it SAVIOR

holiday. This state of things is at
tributed to several causes, some saying
it is the result of the prevailing hard
aimes, and others believing it to be the
growth of conservatism and temper.
ance in the community. A few decades
ago the season was regarded IS an oc.
cssion on which loose reins were given
to conviviality and often gross excuses
followed. 1t is not so now, while, OF
course. a few still think the only way
TO celebrate Christmas is to become to-
tslly dismembered, but the majority
prefer 10 partake simply of enough OF
the good cheer to give friction to con-
versation, thereby enabling them to en-
ter into the joys of the season senslbly
and good naturedly. Long before sun
rose Yesterday the music of the drum
corps. the tools of horns and the occa-
sional explosion of frecrackers were
heard and an hour or so later the
younger generation were in the streets
testing new toys. Most of the explo,
sives were spent before breakfast, and
comparative quiet followed until night.
