 From an artistic point of view, the Hamilton-S Strobridge-B Barnes recital, al the Theatre, Wednesday. was the best entertainment ever given by local peo- pie. As social event it was a sue cess, in that it drew the better part of what is called society. It was a discriminating and appre ciative audience, which gave every number its full meter of deserved praise. Stronger voices have been heard here than that of Mrs. Hamilton, but none with the sweetness of hers. or that displayed the careful cultivation. | The work from Mr. Strobridge has never been excelled here except by the great Godowsky; and in his line, that of e,ocution, MT Barnes has no equal here. Altogether the only regrettable | thing in connection with the recital is | the fact that it cannot be repeated.
 At her home on West Adams street | Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Webster Street gave a charming luncheon to a | small number of her friends. The res- idence, and particularly the dining room, was handsomely decorated for | the occasion and delicious collation. |
