Philadelphia, comes the news that tins
"Adamless dinner is the latest fad. Poor,
hapless Adam! Dearly has he paid for
telling on Eve. She now ruthlessly turns
him out Of every feast to brood alone, or
in soft-ushioned seat at his Tub, on what
a great mistake be made once for all. In
this ountry at least, Eve reigns supreme,
and the title Lord of Creation is now
as sounding brass and tinkling cymbal.
His work Is given him, to provide the
sinews OF war, and then--keep quiet! To
hang over that desk from morn till dewy
eve, and jump around in vain effort to
keep pace with the cotton market; to go
up and down upon the earth directing
railroads.&c. these are for him to emf
ploy himself with while Eve enjoys her
game Of cards, her pretty luncheon or her
dinner unmolested by his presence. The
dinner party was Adams last ditch and
now by superior force OF mind, will, or
what not, he has even been driven there
from, and Eve reigns triumphant. / declare
it is time for the worm to turn and protest
against his being thus thrust from his
place To my mind Adam makes very
pleasant variety in social life and is wor-
thy of better things than to be a newer
of wood and drawer of water.

drew 10 Bryan Hall very sizeable and
appreciatiye audience, to whom a pro-
gramme of musical merit was given, Miss
Inman's selections were admirable es-
pecially Schumanns "Widmung," as ar
ranged by List, and the encore demanded
for this, an impromptu Of Chopins, the
latter remarkably fine. Miss Inman was
in better form than at the concert given
the week before ana her playing showed
decidedly more force and feeling She re-
ceived appreciatlve applause and was pre-
scented with a handsome cluster OF roses.
Miss Hume's voice had ample opportun-
ity for showing its versatility In the gen.
erous number Of songs OF different char
acter given by her, but il seemed quite
as fresh and strong ana true at the close
as at the beginning Of the evening. In
Save Me, o, God" by Bandegger, II
seemed to be at its best, but was almost
equally good in I'm Wearin AVA" by
Foote 1t certainly Is q voice of marvel
lous power and truth, and she knows how
to use il. Miss Hume was also the recipient
OF flowers. and the audience showed their
appreciation OF her voice by asking that

lists usually are willing 10 give.
The greatest charm OF the evening,
however, was Mr. Gareissen's singing. His
voice stirred the audience to pitch OF

enough OF il, and he was compelled to an
