One of the best evidences of increasing
culture in this city is that both music and
art are creating more interest this fall
than ever before. The organization of
an Art club last winter and the success
of its first exhibition has been largely in
strumental in creating an interest in art.
The Music Study and Treble Clef clubs
are doing everything they can to inspire
an atmosphere of music. Since the organ
ization of the Music Study club they have
done nothing by halves, their work being
at all times up to a high standard, and
their open meetings are so delightful that
an invitation to one is coveted. They will
be among the most exclusive and delight
full events of this winter, the first one
occurring with Mrs P. H. Lallande as
hostess, on December Is. when Edward
McDowelrs works will form the pro-
gramme. The Mary Angel concert last
Monday evening, to which about 400 invi-
tations were issued, was most enjoyable
event. This recital was entirely compli-

the club The Music Study has announced
a matinee recital by Frank Croxton, and
for the first time since it's organization

Croxton is one of the very best vocalists
in the country, and has with him as ac-
companist and soloist magnificent plan

music department at Chautauqua, n. Y.
A Birmingham woman who heard him this
summer said yesterday: 81 do hope the
Birmingham people will appreciate the
splendid treatin store for them when they
hear Croxton. He is, think, the very
best ballad singer l ever heard and is
simply charming in the big things too"
The members Of the Music Study club are
planning to make of the recital social
event as well as musical, and like the
recitals in Boston, Chicago and other
cities of culture, the ladies will wear
their loveliest afternoon gowns and there
will be stage decorations. A party of
young ladies, members of the club, will
be the ushers. Among them are Miss
Edith Bowron, Miss Kathleen Nixon, Miss
Flora Orr, Miss Nellie Sloss, Miss Alice
Fallon and others. The recital will be
given on the afternoon of November 10
