LILLI LEHMAN SANG.
SEVERAL HUNDRED WOMEN HEARD
HER AT THE WALDORF YESTERDAY.

A MOST SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN N
BEHALF OF THE SUMNER REST SOCIETY
Probably the most successful entertainment that
has been or will be given this Lent for the benefit
OF the various benevolent schemes that always take
advantage of the season to press their claims upon
a somewhat selfish public that OF the Sum-
mer Rest Society. which took place yesterday at
the Waldorf.
Nine Lli Lehman was the attraction and. as
was TO be expected. there was scarcely a vacant
seat in the large ballroom, where the recital was
given.
Nine Lehmanns programme consisted OF four
songs from Schubert-"Du bist die Ruiz "Auf
dem wasser singer" "Erk0nig" and 'Haiden-
rislein"-and two from Bungert-"Sein Webb" and
"Ioreley"-wlth Der Nussbaum from Schumann.
I'm Herbst." by Franz. Hermann's DINA and
Rubenstelns "Keine Frthngsluft.'
Every number the programme was enthusi-
astically received. but Schubert and Schumann
seemed to he the most enjoyed. One woman in the
audience said she felt II she had never heard
the "Erlk0nig' before. and another was most
pleased with "Auf dem Wasser."
