the Nashville American pays high trib' ute to the work of the club under the direction of MT. Washburn:
 Under the direction of MT. Washburn the Vanderbilt Glee club has grown into an organization that makes fine music and fan, It's glees are truly gleeful and 1t does not require strong college sym pathy to appreciate it's doings.
 Special notice is due the chorus work or the Glee club, and in the same connec- ton, no little credit to Charles c. Wash burn, it's director Nashville has seldom listened to a better balanced chorus, and it's work was so near perfect at all times that one forgot hls intention to make allowances for amateurs, formed before appearance, and yielded them the unqual- flied admiration they deserved. The airs sung were tuneful and very bright, and the singing itself so modulated and shad- ed as to vary It's methods unexpectedly and charmingly.
 MT Harris's work was fully up to the high standard to which he has accustom- ed his audience. His readings from the "Rivals" was characterized by a grace and intelligence of interpretation that instantly won his audience.
 Guy McCollum showed the possession of no mean ability as performer on the piano His execution was fautless and was attended by A firmness of touch and a fact in interpretation that pro- claimed the music lover as well as the beautifully schooled pianist.

THE BEAUTY OF
 THE SPRING FIREPLACE.

Now. if ever, the open fireplace stands high in the favor of the family circle. Through the winter months it has shared honors with the furnace, but now that the larger heating apparatus has beec shut down, or at least the fires are kept banked, come those sudden cool rains or the unexpected windstorm. wfen, during the dul-chill evenings open fires shed more than mere heat-a glow and comfort that is indescribable. Architects daily pay more attention to the fireplace and its po- sition in the home To keep pace with this demand, manufacturers and furnish ers of appliances for the truest of all cozy ccrners are offering delightful novelties.
 One of the simplest screens for prevent ing sparks flying out and lighting the car pet or rug offers a concave cover of bladS or gilt woven wire, which fits tightly over tho opening. This Is ornamented with gilt scrolls. Gilt screens having four or five wings of closely woven wire are not only a splendid protection from sparks. but a real decoration to the room.

THE VANDERBILT eLEE CLUB.

Washburn formerly of Birmingham, and whose hosts of friends and admirers In both the social and musical world will give hin. a most cordial and genuine well come.
 The programme will be most attrac- tive, and besides the numbers to be given by the club, the programme opening with "A Toast" by Miss Rowley MT. Wash burn will sing "Unrequitted," a beau. tiful lyric of Miss Rowley's.
 The week will include round Of gaie- ties in compliment to the Vanderbilt men. On Thursday afternoon from to 6 o'clock delightful reception will be given in their honor at the Allen school on High land avenue The occasion will assemble many Vanderbilt alumni and other friends of the univoi sty, and elaborate prepara tons gre being made to make it bril- liant social event.

| Wide ope-piece screens are made of bronze hammered in scenes of the Christ-ehild or interior views of Swiss peasant houses
 Among brass andirons the most artistic are those which show tall Roman lamps topped by a brass flame. These stand three feet in height Another set for Marie Antoinette room are molded in the shape of columns and are ornamented and enlwined with Empire wreaths and vines Iron andirons are enjoying a vogue and they look exactly as though they had come from the recesses of some old attic A very broad fireplace which has been built into a spacious new country house has iron androns standing four feet high, finished with huge iron balls at the top The enormous tongs and poker of iron are suspended diagonally across from one to the other of the standards. Cranes are attached to iron stands as they were with the very old andirons and nothing is great CT fun than to make candy in an ron kettle over a big open blaze
 Very decorative Is a brass standard for holding tongs, shovel, brush and poker This is topped by a brass crown with hooks from which the various fire tools hang. The same crown ornamentation can be had in iron as we'll and the four tools in brass with plain knob ends can be bought as cheaply as S5.50 A pretty new design in fire tongs shows a spring of brass with brass claws exactly like the little silver sugar tongs. Bellows of weathered oak have long, slender wind tube. and the body is carved to show a quaint impish face.
 Wonderfully handsome are the new beaten brass wood boxes. elegantly em' bossed with scenes from famous pictures, forest scenes of Dutch burghers and lined with cedar wood or brass. Tall, narrow wood boxes of black iapanned tin are decorated with hand-painted apple blos- copae
