OUT AND ABOUT.

The Friday Morning club will con-
unue its study of Bach this forenoon,
and will present a program that will
include a paper on <Bach's church
music, by Mrs. Prentice: number of
selections from the Parsian Music of
ST. Matthew, sung by Mrs. Mitchell,
Mrs. Knowles, Mrs Johnson and Mrs.
harris; and a concerto for three
pianos, by Mrs. Prentice, Mrs. Ingra-
ham, and Miss Starr. This will be the
first hearing in Worcester of this con-
certo, and much interest attaches to it's
rendering. 1t is very seldom played,
but was given in Boston last winter at
one of j. B. Lang's historical concerts.
The second lecture in Mrs Albert H.
Chaffee's course on modern art was
given yesterday morning to an audi
ence which comfortably filed the
studio. The subject was modern Ger
man art. Mrs. Chaffee took her hear
ers to quaint old Murenburg, thence to
Munich where during the past sum
mer, the exhibition of the works of
living German artists was held in the
glass palace and then on to Dresden,
which had it's Kunst Ausetellung in an
art building in the Crosse Garten, as
we'll as its permanent gallery of mod
ern art. A visit to Holman, the
painter of Christ in the Temple was
described, and particular attention
given to Lembach who stands pre-
eminently the greatest of German
portrait painters. The illustrations of
this lecture nearly filled the walls of
one room, which was remarkable, when
1t is remembered how difficult it is to
obtain photographs of new works ex-
hibited SO recently. Previous to the
lecture, a musical selection was given
upon the piano by Miss Abercrombie
Next Tuesdays lecture will be upon
Modern Italian art"
