 Mrs. Aldrchs interest in her season of matinee recitals eenters largely in the sale of balcony seats. The tickets to the | two balconies will be disposed of at d
 nominal sum. inf order that music stu 1 dents and other lovers of music may be privileged to hear the attractions at small | expense. Mrs. Aldrich's entire scheme in 1 arranging her musicales last winter and
 this has been philanthropic. She is labor l ing to develop q love and appreciation oe
 music among the people and is doing it l in such practical, original unselfish
 way that she has made for herself q
 unique place in the souths musical his l tory. She said yesterday of her plans: i "I have, of course, secured my down. 1 stairs audience. My friends purchased | them so that season tickets were dis 1 posed Of without any trouble whatever. l The thing which interests me most now. | though, is the response which will be l given by the general public. Seats in | the balcony will l hope, be secured by 1 those who wish 10 hear the recitals but | have not been approached with tickets. | They will be sold at very reasonable | rates and should attract the music stu-
 dents and others who attend such affairs 1 purely for the love of music. In other
 words, I am feeling the pulse of. the musical public. That is the rason q etre
 of the whole thing. The concerts are al-
 ready success financially; they are
 going to be a success artistically. Now
 the only thing to be decided is whetler ! the public generally will respond to my l efforts. Success in this regard Is the ! thing that remains for the future to re veal. The recitals next winter will be 1 largely dependent upon the response from | balcony seat sales. There are many here
 who are unable to go east to hear the
 best of musical attractions and must he | content with what they are able to re- 1 ceive here I am glad to bring the at l fractions to them, and the ones secured 1 for this winter are lovely, but I am anx- | ious to see what response will be given | to my efforts
