Jane did not come OF 80 well. for her
mistress did not speak TO her until she
called her In that evening to make her
toilet. by that time Mary had forgot

when Jane began to array her for the
dance II fell to the noor. whereupon
both girls broke into n laugh. and Jane
kissed Mary's bare shoulder. and Mary
kissed the top of James head. and they
were friends again.
So Brandon accepted Mary's invita-.
ton and went to Mary's dance. but his
going made for him an enemy of the
most powerful nobieman In the rcalm.
and this was the way OF II:
These parties OF Mary's had been 60

the Duke OF Buckingham would have
given 10000 crowns to receive such a
note and would doubtless have shown
II to half the court In triumphant con-
ficencc before the middle OF the night.
To this great captain OF the guard Il

lecture. On this occasion she will sing

numbers on that evening, Mr.. Meyer
will also play violin solo, and there
will probably be one or more vocal
numbers on the programme. Who will
furnish these has not yet been def
nitely decided upon, but the commit
tee having the matter in hand will
arrange this within the next few days.
The pupils concert of Mr.. and Mrs.
L. w Mehrtens on last Monday night
was the success that these concerts US
ually are. The hall was filled to it's
capacity, and the audience evinced a
we'll deserved enthusiasm. Mrs. Mehr-
tens played the concluding number on
the programme a List Polonaise, and
proved that she has lost none of the
artistic temperament and capacity that
she has so we'll exhibited on former
occasions. Her touch is beautiful, her
technique thorough, and her execution
brilliant and absolutely accurate. She
has a most pleasing presence at the
piano, and she uses her hands with a
graceful ease most attractive to her
audience. Outside of these private pu-
pills musicales, Mrs. Mehrtens has not
been heard in public here for a num-
Der of years, and it seems a pity that
such an artist as she is should not be
heard more frequently.
The meeting of the Music Club to be
held on the 18th of this month will be
the last of the regular sem-monthly
meetings this season. An especially at
tractive programme has been arrang-
ed for this, and much of the best talent
in the club will be heard. The pro-
gramme will consist entirely of operate
numbers, and has already been under
preparation for some time. Miss Addie
M. Gibson, young pianist with good
future before her, will be heard for
the first time, and it may be that a
number for the organ and two pianos
will be given. With the May concert,
which will take place three weeks later,
the meetings of the club will discon-
tinue until October, after a most sue
cessful season.
1t has been a matter of regret that
