Music.
On the evening of the tenth of De
cember, one of the musical events of
the season in Richmond will take
place when the Musical Study club
will have an open meeting, each mem
Der being privileged TO invite guest.
The club has had several such meet
ings and they are always marked by
an exceptionally fine musical program
and by the brilliant assemblage of
people in attendance. The program
at the December concert will be made
up Of Liza Lehman's Daisy Chain"
and several of the best numbers which
have been given at the morning meet
ings of the club this fall. The mem
bers feel that the programs given
thus far have been exceptionally good
and that the public will enjoy the
repetition of several of them. The
Daisy Chain is made up of child vcr-
ses by Robert Louis Stevenson, Laur-
ence Alma Tadema, Norman Gale and
w. B. Rando set to music by Liza
| Lehman. The Persian Garden also
! by Liza Lehman has been given by
!
much favorable comment at the time
of it's presentation. There are twelve
songs of childhood in THE Daisy
Chain" and the solos will be taken by
Mrs. Will Earhart, Miss Marie Kauf-
man, Mr.. Fritz Crull, of indianapolis
and Mr.. Otto Krone. 1t will be given
in the Starr Piano rooms. The Musi-
cal club this year is in very pros
porous condition and much more inter
est is being shown than in former
years. The meetings are we'll attend
ed and there is a very large member
ship waiting list.

The various choir directors of the
churches in the city are making ex-
tensive preparations for their Christ
mas music and from now on extra
choir rehearsals will be held weekly
The music at the First Presbyterian
church has not yet been selected but
will be in a short time. Former years
elaborate cantatas have been given
and this form of music will probably
! be given this year. The choir is one
of the largest in the city and is under
the direction of Prof. Will Earhart,
with Mrs. Earhart, Mr.. Frank Brat
! felt, Mr.. Otto Krone and Miss Marie
Kaufman as soloists. At the first M.
f. church a large choir under the di-
rection of Prof. J. L. Harris, will in
the evening Of Christmas Sunday, give
HandeFs Messiah. AS the production
is quite long it will have to be short
ened to some extent. In the morning
a special program will be given which
has not yet been fully made out by
Prof. Harris, but it will include num-
bers from The Holy City" and 9th
ers. At ST. Paurs Episcopal church
the choir will give special music and
an innovation in church circles in
Richmond will be the midnight SER
vice at this church on Christmas eve.
1t is very impressive service and it
will be a entirely choral. At various
other churches the music will be euu-
ally as good
At indianapolis some time during
this month, the Boston Symphony or
chestra will be an attraction and will
be attended by number of Richmond
musicians. The orchestra is under
the direction of Karl Muck and is one
of the finest in the country
;. !. j.
Miss Esther Bessleman is taking the
place of Mrs. Fred Miller as organist
at the First Presbyterian church dur
ing the illness of Mrs. Miller, who is
at Cincinnati in a hospital.

The former members of the Rich |
mond high school Ladies' chorus who
are still in school are very anxious for
the reorganization of the club. The
organization has been much missed in
the life of the school and in the chapel
exercises, where often programs were
given by the girls. The annual con-
certs are also events which are miss
ed. Later in the season, Prof. Ear
hart may take up the work again. The
High school orchestra is in a flourish
ing condition and is rehearsing much
new music.
The musical work at Garfield is at
tracing much attention from the mu-
steal educators in this part of the
country and many visitors have been
at the school lately for the purpose of
studying the work which is on the de-
partmental plan. The orchestra under
the direction of Prof. Earhart, is an
important feature. In the near future
the school will give an entertainment
which will be quite an elaborate af-
fair Those in charge feel that they
have several unusually interesting and
unique numbers for the program.
