HOME FOR CONTEMPORARIES ART

A meeting is to be held this afternoon at 5
o'clock in the National Arts Club. No. 81 West
Thirtv-fourth-st in the interest of the scheme of
the. art societies OF this city to erect central home
for contemporaneous art. at outlay of about
q 600 900 for land and s. 100000 for building and
dcwment. A report is to be presented by COM
mittee appointed by the Fine Arts Federation to
collect information to the condition of foreign
cities in regard similar art enterprises, the diff
ferent types OF buildings abroad, and how they are
supported
Charles r Lamb chairman of the committee
said yesterday that great volume of interesting
data from England and the Continent. which COW
cred every important country abroad, had been re-
ceived This referred in part he said. to the Tate
Galleries on the Thames. the Museum at Amster-
dam and the Petit Palais. in Feris
1t was rumored yesterday in art circles that two
plans were under consideration. One was to have
building entirely devoted to art and the other. "A
building which would pay for itself by its rentals

ANOTHER SONG RECTAL.

The severity of the test to which a song recital
subjects a singer does not seem to have been ap-
preciated yet by singers who desire TO present
themselves to the notice of the public for adver-
Using other purposes. The old way of joining
in miscellaneous concert with vioiinist violon-
cellist pianist and another singer or two was much
easier on all concerned-concert giver. concert re-
viewer and public. But that regime seems to have
passed away, and the new one must be confronted
Under such circumstances it is comforting when
singers without striking vocal endowments present
themselves, to note qualities of taste. temperament
and Judgment. Such the yesterday after
when Mime. Christine Schultze gave recital
in Mendelssohn Hail. with the assistance of her
sister. Nine Marie Lowe. The ladies are very
much alike in appearance and voice, and If re-
spOnsbility had TO be divided between the two, the
division would be about equal Their voices are
neither striking, capacious effective iE any
sense. but they sing intellisentIy and tastefufy,
and they did not offend the artistic sense even
when they attempted what to them was all but
the impossible Moreover, they were supported
