When the Music Study club entered upon it's campaign for the artistic oe- velopment and pleasure of the people or the Birmingham district it was with the that could be had in the way of music For two years it gave it's efforts entire ly free of charge in it's open meetings They were always brilliant and beauti- ful affairs. They still give them reg ularly at the Country club, and there is nothing of a social nature that is more enjoyed, nor invitations to whlch are more coveted than these muslcaies and receptions. The membership or the club includes now almost 200 of the mos. representative women in the city. lheir plan of studying the best of composers and Illustrating them in the best way nossible is also carried out in bringing the best artists to the city. For this they charge. but present them always under the best of auspices. The bringing ol Louise Homer at a cost or Sl2ou gave proof of their determination to give oniy the best. They are now bringing Fred erclx Gunster, the distingulsheo New York tenor, for song recital at the Jei- ferson Saturday afternoon at O'CLOCK. There were so many men who expressed a desire to hear Gunster that an effort was made to give an evening concert put as it was impossible to get the theatre i' was decided to have him on Saturoay' siRce so many of the business men are off the later part of the afternoon any way. There will undoubtedly be large number of men at the recital, as well as women, who always attend the MUSIC Study affairs. There is a growing ap- nreciation of music among the Birming- ham men, and at every concert one sees a large number of them The women who are always invited to the affairs of the club will be at the concert Satur- day. Another reason given by the cluo for having the concert Saturday is that students of music and in the school might be able to attend easily. The pai- conv of the theatre will be reserved TOT the students as usual the prices being much less than the parquet. The work of the Music Study has been partly philanthrOplc, TOT there ID ho ihioSiSS more potent for good than music, and this splendid organization has done large share of developing the intellectual side of the city in giving it's open meetings bv invitation, it's splendid open air con certs for the entire public free, and these artistic concerts to which is made the only charge ever asked by the club.
