The Houston Quartette society has re-
Gently been reorganized and not only in
creased its numbers by taking in new
members, but by drawing hack to its fold
some that had been members In the past
but had. for various reasons. given up the
club for some time past. The club has
chosen a new director. Mr. f. f. Dexter,
and has determined to do some fine work
this winter. They are making fine eff
fort to get a goodly list of honorary mem
bers, in order to have the means of bring
ing musicians of note to sing or play for
Houston audiences, and in this they
should be encouraged. The Galveston
Quartette has big list of honorary mem
bers, who pay generous annual dues so
that the society can have the best d.
rector, and also be able 10 bring outside
talent to their city. In this Houstonlans

Mrs Louise Queyrouze is the first oi
the Houstonians who went abroad for the
summer to return, and has pleasant things
to tell of her journey. She left New Or
leans with party OF friends last May
and after visiting Louisville. Cincinnati
New York and Niagara Falls they sailed
for Europe on the Belgian, one OF the
Hamburg-American line. Landing al
Cherbourg, France. they had their first
experience OF foreign customs and, like
all other Americans. contrasted the rail-
way service OF the United States with that
of Europe. very much TO the advantage
of the former.
Going direct to Paris the travelling Tex
ans visited the exposition. which they
found superior 10 the Worlds Fair only
In two respects-the decorations and the
art exhibit. They had the pleasure OF
celebrating the glorious Fourth with the
other patriotic Americans present in Pa
ris and of seeing the statue to Lafayette
unveiled. They found the French people
kindly and courteous and the prices o.
living moderate Especially were they
delighted with the very reasonable rates
charged for hacks and cabs.
Leaving sunny France for England they
1 were not favorably impressed with the
9 latter country. hut were consoled for
( other dissppointments by having a fnt
onportunity for seeing her majesty, Queer
Vidtoria and the Prince OF Wales. Thel
t mad fine weather all during their trip ant
] felt we'll repaid for the effort made to &C
complish it. But at the same time home
r Looked very pleasant and the Americans
: feel that home living and home comforts
] are the best after all
