city.
The interior OF the Lowrey home was
splendidly lighted, while from trees
and bushes on the lawn hung myr-
lads of Chinese lanterns, which lieut.
an Oriental flower to the scene of fes-
tiMty. Potted plants and huge bou-
quets of flowers were prettily arranged
through the halls and drawing rooms,
and were tastefully placed upon the
stairways.
Mrs. Lowrey personally received the
guests at the door, assisted by bevy
of handsome young ladies. They
were Miss M. Widdlfield, Miss Char
lotte Hall, Miss Paty,-Miss Russell,
Miss Elsie Warehouse.
The program was admirably arrang-
ed and the selections were carefully
chosen, both for adaptability to those
taking part and for the delectation OF
the auditors. The drawing room is pc
culiarly suited for music and not

The opening selection, an aria, was
prettily rendered, the voices being ad-
mirably blended throughout The alto
parts were particularly pleasing. Prof.
Yarndley's violin pieces were short
but exceedingly effective, and easily
played, Mrs. Yarndley accompanying
on the piano. Mr.. Chas. Elston was In
splendid voice, and won generous ap-
plause. Miss May Hart was the accom-
PIANIST.
One OF the most pleasing efforts of
the evening was the cello playing of
Mr.. Harold Mott-Smith. Always IA
vorite in public, he was applauded un-
til he responded with an encore. The
first selection was dreamy, low, melo-
dious and plaintive music. The beautl-
full tones were exceedingly melodious,
and effective portions were brought out
with dizziness of bowling which won
him encomiums.
The quartet consisting of Messrs.
Elston, Wichman. Richards and
Beardslee sang the never-old Annie
Laurie" with variations. Their voices
blend well, and for an encore they
sang a pretty, simple ballad. Miss
Hyde showed a skill and touch in her
rendition OF Schumann's Novelette, in
F which captivated her auditors. Mrs.
Annis Montague Turner was in good
voice and rendered an operate selec-
ton In a delightful manner.
Her appearance and exit were APP
plauded, but she did not respond to
an encore. The double trio, Lift
Thine Eyes," by Mrs. Howard, Miss
Hyde, Miss Castle, Miss Griswold, Mrs.
Damon and Mrs. Hoffman,, was very
fine. Rubenstein's THE Angel" was
delightfully."- rendered by Miss Peck
and Miss Griswold. Mrs. katharine
McNeill-Hoffmann Gang two difficult
selections, both of which were well
suited to her voice.
Mr.. Beardslee. accompanying himself
on the guitar. sang two ballads In res
onant, tuneful voice. receiving merited
applause. Mrs. Mott-Smith and Miss
Won Holt played difficult and charm
ing Hungarian rhapsody piano duet
very effectively.
Mr.. Paul Isenberg's appearance in
the drawing room was the occasion OF
generous round of applause. His
rich, tenor voice was heard to best ad-
vantage in q German song. The last
selection. in which Mr.. and Mrs. Mott
