son, the noted p!aniste. At luncheon
Mies Goodson and Mrs. Rose Kloch Bauer,

tables which seated guests.
Those asked to meet the famous artist
were most favorably impressed. She is
a woman of strong individuality, not
handsome, but a spirituelle type, with
subtle charm. In appearance she strongly
suggests the English woman, affecting
gowns that are built on the sweeping,
ethereal lines. At the luncheon she ap
peared In a short-waisted empire gown
of brown velvet, with a brown plumed
hat.
Laters Mrs. Rose Blocli Bauer sang, and

niatic voice of warm timbre and pathos
was heard to splendid advantage.

lace.

Some weeks ago a number of promi

music, organized what they term the
"Do or Die" Club, the purpose being
to promote proficiency in music both
vocal and Instrumental. The keenest
Interest is being displayed, and a
- . , TOT
f r ? .
K it .
marked improvement in many in
stances is already manifest.
The club meets each Tuesday at a
different residence, and at each gath
ering each member plays or sings
some entirely new selection In her
repertoire. Following the musical, lun
cheon Is served during which time the
morning's programme Is discussed. The
luncheon, it was firmly stated, must
be a secondary consideration, and it is
limited to two courses. During the
year each member must give two new
selections, which they have mastered
without the assistance of a tutor. In
the class are a number who have
studied with the best teachers here
and abroad, but who have neglected
their music in many instances for
yeara
However, with the new impetus, they
are alt making rapid strides and at
taining results. The planlstes include
Mrs. Gordon voorhies, Mrs. David
Honeyman, Miss Kathleen Burns, Miss
Hazel Dolph. Miss Frances Wilson,
Miss Caroline Burns, Miss Hannah
Adair. Miss Mary Hilyer and Miss
Gladys Felt. The singers are Mrs.
Robert Treat Piatt, Mrs. Henry Ladd
Corbett. Mrs. Russell Hawkins. Miss
Clementine Wilson. Mrs. Sanderson
Reed and Mrs. J. trnest Laidlaw.
Miss Lisa Wood has the distinction of
being the only vlolinlste.
The marriage of Miss Belle Ains-
worth and Ralph H. Jenkins, will take
place on the am day as that of Miss
Susan Stott and Mr. Cronan. The Jen-kins-Alnsworth
wedding, however.
will be an afternoon affair, to take
place at o'clock at the First Presby
terian Church.

man was regarded as the most promis
ing of the young grand opera tenora

Joys the distinction of a warm personal
