An enjoyable piano recital was given at
the Washington Club Yesterday afternoon
by Alice f. Burbage. The attendance was
large, completely filing the seating capac-
ity and many Were standing. The audi
ence included many prominent I'm dlplo-
matte, official and social circles, as Well
as representatives OF the best musical cul-
tCre IN the District Miss Burbage is a
pianist too rarely heard in public She ha .
devoted herself principally to teaching,
but 1t is evident that she has not
neglected her solo work for In
every number OF program that
was more than usually difficult she
was found satisfactory not only as to tech
nicai skill. but also IS to fnterpretative
power. Her numbers included Beethoven
Moonlight Sonata, Schumann's 'Nacht-
stuck, three Chopin selections-the noe
turne in F sharp, waltz In y Nat and bal
lade In the same key; Chaminade's Flat
terer, Godard's Pans Flute" Brassin' $
arrangement of Wagners Fire Music from
Die WalkUrs," and Liszt'S Hungarian
Rhapsody, No II. In every selection Miss
Burbage showed n mastery OF the key
board, an intelligent conception of the au-
thors meaning, a Virile power of execution
end an artistic sense that gave her high
rank as pianist and won emphatic ap-
plause. She was assisted by Mrs Nellie
Wilson Shirr-Cltff, who sang an aria from
Gounod's "MirelIa" and HenscheIs
Spring" both selections being calculated
TO display the iiexibiiity of her excellent
soprano voice. -.

About Roas'n' Ears.

The Indians taught the hungry
colonists how tomake use ofroast-
ing ears. They took the ears in
its green shuck, covered it with
hot ashes and Goals and promptly
produced the best dish of corn
possibly made. They had no salt
wherewith to SAVIOR the corn, but
they had a substitute in hickory
ashes. The colonists improved
upon that treatment of the ear by
the use of salt, pepper and but
ter.
And so it came about that the
nice, tenderears selected for table
usecame to becalled "roas'n ears"
though as time went on they were
oftener boiled than roasted. The
roasting process had pretty well
gone out fashion when the Civil
War came on, and when the "reb-
els" and "Yanks" both found it
convenient to revive it.
Southern soldiers were nearly
always uponthevergeofstarvat
after the first year of war, and
over and over again they were
compelled to supply themselves
with food from the growing corn;
sometimes they ate it raw; moth
ing could please them better than
to have time to roast it. Therewas
much simplicity in this cookery.
No cooking utensil was required;
all that was needed was a camp
fire-and the ears of green corn.
The old stager cannot be made
to believe that any cooking is so
good as that which used to bedone
by the campfire, or in the spacious
open freplaces, when a whole log
was thrown on at one time. Ger
