Hodge was captivated with the baby

to adopt Genevievc.
Mrs. Leonard got her child back
last night at the detective bureau.

up and got her baby. She had brought
a bottle of milk to feed it. She and
the baby sat on bench next to Miss
Huff, but apparently oblivious of her
proximity.

the head of all compositions for these

cor this position. AS might be expected
from Ysaye and Elman. the composition

n broad classic style, but the beauty Of
tone of both players was of the highest
order, The slow movemcntwas especially
finely done.
The other numbers on the program
were a concertante by Molique, a
somewhat bombastic work. with an un-
usually elaborate cadenza by Mr..
Ysaye. The cadenza, which Is nearly
half as long as the original compost
tion, is a really fine piece of writing for
two violins, and the thematic material
is worked out with much skill and mu-
steal feeling, besides requiring about
everything that violin is capable OF
doing. 1t proved to be the most popu-
lar number Of the evening and both per
formers were repeatedly recalled. The
concert closed with the six well-known
duets of GODDARD.
Messrs. Ysaye and Elman are artists
of both similar and dissimilar style.
They have acquired a good ensemble,
although this type of playing is by no
means the best medium of personal ex-
preston for either Of them. Their tone
l. radically different, although both
have fine quality and in the solo parts
they apparently pay little attention to
unanimity of phrasing However, the
strong personality which each possesses
