In society this winter there have been
card parties, Kensingtons and muscales,
but one of the most entertaining parties
was the song recital given yesterday
afternoon by Mrs. George A. Griggs at
her pleasant home on North Twenty
ninth street, assisted by Mrs. &. ii. Bar
stow. Mrs Minnie H. Tompkins and Miss
Martha Thompkins.
AT the time appointed for the recital
to begin a storm broke forth, delaying
the guests in arriving. There were pres
ent nearly 65 ladies. The guests were
met at the door by Harriet Rowley and
Helen Mccormick. In the room where
the wraps We're removed, Mesdames
Frat and ]. J. Mccormick assisted, and
presented each lady with programme
card and a fragrant carnation. after
which the guests were ushered to seats
by Misses Edyth Colvin and Marie
Sleeper. The chairs were so arranged
I that all could see the singers and the
piano. Large palms were artistically
placed around the piano, where the pr1n-
cipal in terest centered.
Mrs. Griggs has magnificent mezZo-
soprano voice which has been very care
fully trained, voice of wonderful COM
pass and volume, and the songs she sang
were especially fitting. Miss Martha
: Tompkins has a very sweet, soft voice
and was especially entertaining in her
German song and helullaby. The fine con-
tralto of Mrs. Barstow is always a treat
TO her listeners and her songs were well
chosen to bring out the splendid qualities
7 Of her voice, 1t is we'll known that Mrs.
Tompkins is a charming singer, and of
her selections the Cradle Song was
considered the favOrite of the afternoon.
The recital was a success in every par
ticillar and a rare treat.
Miss Edyth V. ColVin gave a muslcal
Wednesday night to which We're invited

were served, Mrs. Carwile assisting with
