WOMEN COMPOSERS OF
THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
COMFORT FROM A MAN.

An exceptionally delightful and largely
attended meeting of the Ardirhebiah club
was held at the home of Mrs Charles
III. Beach yesterday afternoon, when
Miss Lillian Boyle, the we'll known
teacher OF the Child Garden Music
Course" gave "A fine paper on the 'Wo-
men Composers of the 18th Century"
illustrated by herself on the piano and
with songs by Miss Jefferds
by way of introducing her theme the
writer spoke in a general way OF women
composers, as follows
BY common consent In the past woman
has been considered wanting i'm musical
creative power. She has been arraigned
not only for entire absence of creative
faculty, but for DEFICIENCIES In the higher
fields of music and in the emotional
force requisite for production; also for
her incapacity TO soar into the abstract
and her iniirm hold on the ideal At the
outset IL must be conceded that so far as
music is concerned woman has been a
failure.
To whatever cause the lack OF sue
cess is due we may believe that I'm n gem
eral way the same conditions OF life which
have prevented the intellectual develop
ment of woman in other directions, have
operated here"
Miss Boyle then enlarged upon the rea-
sons why women have not, In the past.
been successful in the musical field, and
continuing. said:
But at the present time the awakening
of interest and increased activity of wo-
men In the business world and I'm the arts
as we'll, has been the means OF accom-
plishing important results in the field OF
musical composition. and now there are
many examples OF the larger musical
forms OF excellent quality and OF still
better promise.
1T is not the symphony. opera or ora
torio that women have found their best
success as composers thus far On the
contrary their field Is I'm smaller forms,
such as short piano compositions. and es-
pecally in songs"

A REBUKE
Administered British Press for
Comments on Princes Visit.

London. Feb. 26.-The attitude OF the
English newspapers towards the visit OF
Prince Henry OF Prussia 20 the United
States has called out a rsbuke from the
Westminster Gazette, which cautions the
responsible papers against continuance
OF a policy whereby Great Britain is
placed In the awkward position of seem
ing desirous of making bad blood between
Germany and the United States, while
putting I'm a claim for gratitude on her
own account on the score of past favors.

paper Miss Boyle described those three
well known song writer's of the 18th CEN
tury, Margaret Lang. Liza Lehman ana

work by Mrs H. III. A Beach. OF Boston,
whose songs have had a national reputa-
tion. Also the songs OF Kate Vannah

operas.

Miss Boyle, who Is an accomplished
pianist She played ',Babbling Spring" by
Madame King; and the following by
