The Dvorak terzetto was executed
with all the artistic spirit for which
the quartet is famous, and in a manner
that brought out the beauty of this
rare sort of instrumental composition.
One is accustomed tot the terzetto as
an arrangement for vocal execution.
The first Tschaikowsky number was
almost unearthly in its suggestion so
sympathetically was 1t interpreted.
Much interest was shown by the audi
ence in the Chadwick number The
manuscript score was used. The flow
ing andante was remarkably smooth
and thoroughly pleased the many adj
lmirers of Mr.. Chadwick's compositions
who were in attendance,
The concert was over at $50
o'clock, in good season for cars and
carriages on such a night. The per-
sonnet of the quartet remains the
same: Frank Kneisel, first violin; Karl
| Ondricek, second violin; Louis Svecen-
ski, viola; Alvin Schroeder, violon-
cello.

The Ladies' Benevolent Society of
the First Unitarian Church is accus-
toned to meet and sew at the Orphans
Home, in charge of the Children's
Friend Society once a year, and such a
meeting was held yesterday afternoon.
The usual amount of sewing was done
but the sustor of drinking tea pre-
pared by the matron of the home on
such occasions has been abandoned by
the Benevolent Society, which does not
wish to add to the duties Of the mat
ron, or to inconvenience her in any
way,
The "l1irmess of nations" at the
South Unitarian Church opened yes
terday afternoon for the first of its
three days run. THE Forest Jubilee
Band" Children representing. different
birds, furnished an excellent enter
tainment in the evening. The children
were enCored, as they richly deserved
to be, for they showed that they had
been trained with unusual care by Mrs
Arthur Weatherly and Miss Florence
Mirick. Little Orina Bugbee, scarcely
five years old, made the hit of the
evening. She was the "pewee" and she
sang like a dear little native bird, re-
spending to her encOres as If it were
the most natural thing in the world
for her to do.
The women at the various booths
were handsomely costumed and looked
charming. 1t is noticeable that Ameri-
can women can deck themselves out
like the women of other lands so sue
cessfully as to suggest the most beau
tiful representatives of foreign coun-
tries. This must be accounted for by
the American woman's gift of adapt
ability.
Supper at the church tonight will he
furnished from tables and night lunch
wagons. The entertainment is to have
musical and literary features and the
Bartlett Ladies' Quartet will be the
principal attraction.
