AND MARKS. The most brilliant musical event of <his and many past seasons. occurred last evening, when Misses Ellen Gold thwaite and Ellen Scott Marks enter tained a large and fashionable audi cree at a piano recital given in the su- ditorfum of the Girfs Hign School. The spacious hall was filled to its ut- most capacity with friends. who knew the artistic treat in store for them when the invitation to attend this re- citni was extended by these two or 1Ecntgomerys most accomplished mu- sician's. as well as most charming and popular young women in social circles. Members of two of the oldest and most af1stocratic families of the South. these two young ladies. by their studious cultivation of the talents with which they are endowed. do credit to them selves as new women of the New South. Misses Goldthwaite and Marks were assisted by Miss Eloise Tennille, pian- fists. who made the third in that rarely beautiful concerto for three pianos by Bach. which was the first number on the program

Three of the numbers on the program are the com positions of Mir Eilenberg. who is steadily ranking higher and higher in the musical world of the United States as . composer.
 When Messrs. Griffin and Eilenberg rendered q movement from a sonata by Mir. Eiienberg for violin and piano. the artists and composer received such prolonged and loud applause as to stop the continuance of the program. Re- peatedly did the two gentleman bow their thanks, but as often did the au- dience respond with an encore. and as steadily did they decline to lengthen the program. So did Misses Marks and GoIdthwaite, whose every number was greeted with warmest evidence Of ap- preciation of their splendid qualities as accomplished pianists.
 Miss Goldthwaite is especially to be commended for her exquisitely beauti- fui singing tone and also for her bravura playing. Her interpretation Of each number showed the musician, and particularly the Mendelssohn's concer- to, which was given with the under standing and artistic finish of a vir- tuoso.
 Miss Marks played MT. Enenberg' s Faith" with a most sympathetic touch and the Chaminade Air de Ballet wbtb the bewitching coquetry 1t demands. The Beethoven Concerto was given with thoroughly developed technique, and an artistic and soulful reading.
