 CONSPICUOUS EVENTS
Society Interested in Aldrch Washbun Concer-Mrs Me David a Hostess for Mrs Oscar Underwood at Lunch eon--Mrs Harris and Mrs. Baugh Entertain
 Bride -Elect-0ther Topics
by MYRTLE MILES.

The leading event of Intervening and the final one in week, especially rich musicaly will be the recital Giyen this evening at the Jefferson theatre by Mrs. Truman Aldrich, Jr., and MT. Charles c. Washburn, piano and baritone solo, ists. The ladies of St. Mary,s Free kin dergarten have planned this event. Some of the most prominent and influential women in society have sponsored this particular charity, and their entertain ments have never lacked for patronage. This evenings affair will appeal to so- ciety for other reasons as well. MT. Washburn is a former Birnsingham citi- zen and has a great nurnber of devoted friends besides his admirers among music lovers. His voice is so exceptional that he has had number of flattering of fers to enter upon an operatic career, but his preference is for the concert stage, and in this he is doing a beautiful work. Among his most popular programmes are those he has arranged for the children, and it has been suggested that in draw ing room recital here some time the children be given the privilege of hearing him sing the stories of the Gingerbread Man and other captivating tales which he tells so well in song. But of MT. Washburn's success in concert, the fol- lowing description from recent journal gives an idea of the treat which awaits his audience when he sings tonight:
 'It was an occasion of musical perfec- ton to delight the senses while it lasted and to be recalled as something faultless among remembered expressions of mus ical art" wrote Miss Ada Scott Rice. "Those who heard the programme are

in direct contrast to the spirit of the pre- ceding numbers, but zthe gifts of the singer reached up to and even above the conception of the, song writer in portray ing it's plaintive meaning. The programme had two triumphs of expression And voice. His Lullaby was one and Nora the other. The final number, Tolstofs Pill grim's Song, was a worthy and beauti- full conclusion"
 Mrs. Aldrich is our very own and when she plays this evening her hearers will feel a personal pride in the fact that she is a genuine Birmingham asset She will not be heard again in Birmingham this winter, however, and this will be the only opportunity to present itself for such a combination in these two rare musicians present,

Washburns splen- did powers of spiritual insight and ora matic interpretation were at once an- nounced. In several of those numbers, notably the Requieum and The Stormy Evening, he perhaps reaches his great est musical heights. With the second group, the sublime melody of the Even ing Star, was worthily rendered, and it's beauty was enhanced by an artistic and poetic violin oblgato by Tally Brown. The fun of the programme was embraced in the delicious Irish song, Nora and the encores it demanded "A Chip of the Old Block and The Little Irish Girl The first is easily the most charming Irish song ever given here and A Chip of the Old Block nearly as good.

MRS. NED M'DAVID HOSTESS FOR MRS, OSCAR UNDERWOOD

Mrs. Oscar w. Underwood was the in- spration of one of Mrs. Ned Richardson McDavid's brightest hospitalities yester- day, when a luncheon was given at her
 residence in Graymont. Mrs. McDavid' s hobby. her friends have found, is remin- iscirs, but when one has a past as bright and beautiful as that of this lovely wom- an, who would fail to recall its memories with every opportunity? The sunshine of her youth will undoubtedly be carried
 with her into the age which everyone knows will come upon her gracefully, but which everyone knows, too. is far off, for she seems to have the faculty of forget ting any shadows that may have gathered at times and to remember only the cheer- jest of things. These were the things that were recalled, anyway, at her lunch

pretty little incident is told of one of Mr. Washburns Recitals in Nashville, which included beautiful programme for children
 He was explaining in a very clever manner the songs he was about to sing, when he discovered he had struck an an- swering chord in his little listeners, and little hands flew up to let him know they understood and wanted to be told more about the pretty. subject.
 As he was about to sing 'The Ginger Bread Man he made several humorous
 remarks about the saccharine article, and said to his little auditors:
 You've had the cook to make you one, I'm sure-'
 When . dear little tot raised her dear little voice and said enthusiastically: s"No; but Eve saw one" -f H faaa -fF-'------T .341f- | In connection with MT. Washburn's
 great success in Songs of Childhood, what prettier idea could have been conceived
 than to have him give Concert for the benefit of some of these dear little tots-- the recipients of St. Mary's Free Kinder garten?
 In the selection of his programme Ca none too easy art), MT. WaShburn shows his predilection for Southern writers and Howard Weeden is given a prominent place always.
 MT. Washburn delights in recalling the friendship that exists between him and MT. Sydney Homer one of America s foremost song writers, and his compost tions also occupy prominent place in MT. Wss,lburns S recitals. A rersonal letter from MT. Washburn brings his audience in very close touch with his work, and especially with his zeal and interest in the Psychology of Childhood-whose songs he sings So sweetly.
 Among other things. MT. Washburn says:
 Last August at Chautaqua, I sang for q small group of women a few of my Songs of Childhood. One who came up among others was a civic worker of Mon- treal, Mrs. Henderson. who has through her own handwork, after stunning and detective work by herself. inaugurated a Juvenile Court in the Canadian metropo lis. She said the city authorities have not been in full sympathy with her turn ing IF of things and showing up their lax administration, and that to interest others more fully she wished, me to come -o Montreal this winter and give my Psychology of Childhood in Song and bring to their minds the rightful inno- oence of children.

| St. Mary's free kindergarten will be hostess this evening at the Jefferson, presenting Mrs. Truman Aldrich, Jr., and MT Charles c. Washburn of Nashville. with his excellent accompanist, MT. Guy McCrllom, in a charming programme. It will be Mrs. Aldrichs premiere ap- pearance here since her great triumph at the Music Festival last season, when she achieved such notable success with | the Victor Herbert Orchestra in her su- rerb rendition of the Tschaikowsky Con- certo-and her many admirers await anx- iously her numbers on this Evenings pro- gramme. | MT. Washburn, coming as he does back | to his old home for the first time in sev- oral years, will receive a royal welcome for every one who is at all musical will he charmed to hear him once more. re- calling with great pleasure his beautiful art and excellent musicianship, as well as his charming personality.
 Unique is the place MT. Washburn has created for himself in the world of song, and his work has given him the distinc. ton of not only being the possessor of a very unusual voice, but as remarkable | interpreter as well.
 Highly cultivated, and with tremen- dous appreciation of all that is artistic, MT. Washburn possesses all of the char acteristcs that go to make the perfect whole-and in thinking of his art one re- calls the question that was asked by the inquisitive woman of the great Turner:
 With what do you mix your colors?"
 with Lrains, Madame" replied the great artist.
 And the same may be said of Mr. Wash burn; for he employees mixture of brains with temperament and the natural gift of fine voice, making an ensemble rarely seen.
 | In musical circles the dernier cri is The Lecture Recital of which MT. Damrosch, MT. Bispham, and others are well known exponents, and to this form of entertain ment MT. Washburn has given particular attention, and in addition he has devoted a large amount of time to Songs, Illusura- tive of Childhood, in which his success has been unequaled-save by Miss Kitty C. Leatham in her recitations and songs, | which have captured audiences at home
 and abroad.
