ARTISTS ASSIST MRS.
NILLET AT PARTY
The following article from the At
lanta Constitution will be of interest
to many Americas friends of Mrs.
Charles Armande Carroll, nee Miss
Annie Mae Bell, of Americas:
"The beauty of Mrs. Hugh Willet's
afternoon tea yesterday had the charm
of the unusual, in music of delightful
character as the feature of the occa-
sion.
Mrs. Charles Armande Carroll. of
Atlanta, and Mrs. Julian deBrukn-
Hops, of Savannah, were the honor
guests, and also contributed to the pro.
gram, one of artistic STANDARD in Sc
lection and execution.
"An appreciative company of ladies
was assembled and enjoyed hospi-
tally as graceful as it was complete
Spring flowers were a picturesque
setting. The mantel vases were filed
with branches of fruit blossoms,
sprays of yellow jasmine and low
red japanicas, and effectively placed
we're baskets of jonquils, the tall han
dies tied with yellow tulle. Palms in
graceful arrangement were the basis
for the whole tasteful scheme.
The grand piano occupied the cen
ter of the music room, an apartment
restful in its proportions and furnish
ings, and pianist and singer, the one a
blonde, and the other as pronounced a
brunette, made charming picture be-
fore it, their beauty and it's influence
en- incident the greatest women artists
do not belittle or disdain to strive for.
Mrs. Carroll, concert pianist and
pedagogue of no small reputation, as
Miss Annie Mae Bell proved herself
also the ideal drawing room artist.
She is pianist of the intellectual type,
her interpretations those of the broad
spirit, wholesome and comprehensive
rather intense, but imbued with the
higher qualities of Imagination an /
poetry. She radiates personality and
made the Introductory remarks, plac-
ing her selections and her idea of their
meaning with an intimacy at once
magnetic, and with no departure from
the dignity due the music. An etude
rs Schuett, Scotch Poem by Mac
Gowell, an Air de Ballet, by Moskow-
ski, Ballade in A-Major by Chopin, and
To Spring, by Grieg, were her selec-
tions. Mrs. Carroll is a comparatively
newcomer to Atlanta's cultural life,
ard a valuable addition to it.
Happily in keeping with the plan
lists part of the program was Mrs.
GeBruyn-Kops' singing. Her voice is
Elear and pure, evenly developed and
always musical. She proved the tech
Inique and the taste for delightful per-
fcrmance of an aria of the difficulty
Of the familiar Charpentier aria from
Louise A group of spring songs
we're appropriately exuberant, and a
Lark Song by Bishop, for which flut-
isl provided the obligato, was truly
brilliant piece of vocal lacework, spon>
taneous and exuberant.
After the music, tea was served in
the dining room, the service at one
end of handsomely appointed table,
its centerpiece mound of spring flow
crs in all their payest hues. Silver
dishes were filled with sandwiches and
other platters were passed with salad
land confections."
