MRS. W. s. BROWN
 HOSTESS FOR VISITOR

Miss Cynthia W. Stephens of Virginia, who is the interesting guest of Mrs. w. s. Brown, was the inspiration of a love ly informal party given yesterday after noon by her hostess. Miss Stephens is very dear to number of erstwhile school girls. as one of the founders and teach CTS of the Pollock Stephens institute. one O. the smart educational institutions of this city, a few years ago. To be alto gether modish the Birmingham schoolgirl must in those days have been student at Polloek-Stephens, and many were the pretty, bright eyed, red checked misses who stroled down Fifth avenue morning and afternoon, swinging their books and chatting of girlish matters as they went to and from school; the same girls, many of them young matrons now, were bid- den to meet Miss Stephens and to review the cheery happenings of school days.
 A pretty tea table was adorned with spring flowers, and held trays of sand wiches and other dainties bon bons and the silver urns, over which Mrs. Bessie Brown Caldwell presided.
 Among those whom Mrs. Brown in- vited to meet Miss Stephens again were Mrs. Allen Harvey Woodward Annie Jem- ison), Mrs. Lewis Coleman Morris Bessie Jemison), Mrs. John Miner Caldwell (Wil- lie Morrow, Mrs. John l.. Kaul (Roy Head), Mrs. William Williams French tJanie VanHoose). Mrs. Hill Ferguson iSouise Walker), Mrs. Robert Jemison, Jr. Virginia Walker, Mrs Merrill Northing- ton tMammie Earle), Mrs. Everard Meade tJanie McLester), Mrs. Robert Cecil (May- belle Sioss), Miss Daisy Moody, Miss Eloise Johnston, Mrs. John H.

compositions as a test piece in the Ma tional band contest at the Crystal palace. There are 3000 performers on this occa- sion and it is one of the most remarkable sights that you can imagine. It was one of the happiest days of my life when my March Imperial was played by that great band"
 And how did you happen to come to America on this concert tour?' asked.
 This is my third Concert trip to Amer ica." said MT. Sellars. T have never been to Canada before, nor to Alabama, although I have played in the South. came over to this country last September with the Kings Trumpeter, MT. William Short, and we made a tour of two months Concert work. MT. Short then returned to England and l continued the tour The enormous expense of the two of us in the work made it necessary for MT Short to return sooner than he ex- pected."
 And the coronation music that you present?' I asked.
 Includes compositions by Sir Easar Elger and Frederick Cliff." said MT. Sel- lars. These are the Coronation Marches exactly as they were played In Westrnin- ster Abbey when King George and Queen Mary were crowned. I have the menu- script of the aFnfare of Trumpets, ar ranged by pr. Borland, that was used at
 
 first time that 1t has been heard in America. The accompaniment to this composition is based on an old Chorale. Montrose, and in every way Is most unique and beautiful It concludes with the English National Anthem and Fan fare of Trumpets and also the chimes which I brought directly from Queens Hall, London. In this music the organ. nterspersed with the Cathedral chimes, is very beautiful and the Chorale, Q God. our Help in Ages Past winding up with the entire volume of the great organ at command, in which the trumpet effects, earilon of bells, and the full resources of the organist, are employed. makes a magnificent finale to programme so full of historical interest"
 How do you find our American organs and our taste in music as compared to the English?' I asked,
 'I am very much Impressed with what the Womens Clubs in America have done for music." said Mir Sellars. "In Eng land we have nothing of that sort. I think one great drawback 10 good mu- sic in America Is the Moving Picture Show craze. There one hears rag time all the while and it rather creates de- sire to Ahear that sort of music instead of the best. in the minds of many not musically inclined Your music stores. I notice. in their show windows have all the latest popular music, rag time again, while in England you see the classics and the best music in the show windows and on the music counters. In Germany, the smallest village band plays good music, but in America even the orchestras in the great hotels in the Feast and West play all sorts of trashy music, the latest comic operas, the latest rag time. It's a great mistake, I think yet with all that I believe the Women's Clubs and their desire to bring the best music before the public will eventually overcome such conditions"

MT.

 He talks most Interestingly of his musi- cal career, and especially of the condl- tions which exist in the States as com pared with those on the Continent, and in his native home.
 His tour through Canada and the middle west, as we'll as in the South, has been masked by great appreciation from large audiences and the most complimentary things have been written by his critics, who have placed him high in the musical world, both as composer and an or ganist.
 'cYou may be interested" said MT. Sell ars yesterday afternoon in speaking of his earlier musical training, ito know that tho largest and handsomest organ that have ever played on was in Birmingham. England Rather coincidence, my speaking of it. as I am playing in Bir- mingham, Ala, tonight.
 "All of which we cannot offer you, but which must be made up in the quality of our organs instead of their bigness," said I apologetically.
 "A very noticeable thing in America, said Mir. Selars, "and particularly in the South, is how few large auditoriums there are with handsome organs in them. Every town in England, you might say boasts of an organ, and usually it Is very nice instrument. 1 have been rather spoheu' of course. about good organs since nave for years been Soloist in Queens Haii' tho Crystal Palace Musical Festivals ana in Royal Albert Hall.

 "Before you started as concert or ranist, I presume you played in Various English churches" I surmised. At Peterborough Cathedral I received the fundamental principles of my musical education from a professor of the Royal Academy of Music, and l played there for q. number of years. Afterward when appeared in Switzerland and other places I received my first engagement at queen Hali, London. There l appeared on pro- grammes with Kirby Lunn, Sir Charles Santley and Agnes Nichols, and later went on a Concert tour through Europe and appeared with Buson and Marchesi, and in the same series of Concerts with Paderewski, Kubelix and other famous artists
