SOCIETY, MUSIC AND AIIT. f All mnrier? of interest and items of news, whether In the citv*State, proper for this department, will be printed if authenticated.] Review of the Week. Little of unusual note has occurred in society circles, except the coming ami going of people who have just ended or are just beginning their summer vacations. Many are Mill absent and many yet are preparing to depart. A few basket picnics or moonlieh* expeditions, together with ah occasional concert or evening party, given in honor of some esteemed guest, seems to embrace the social festivities of the past week. To these may he added a few weddings, past or soon to be, which create the usual interest among the friends and relatives of the contracting parties. There i3 a prevailing opinion among musical people that the coming winter will be filled with much activity among the older societies. Ihe organization of one or more musical bodies is contemplated. While numerous concerts and operas will be given, much hard preparatory work w ill be required. Raise the standard, is the motto. A casual consideration of the musical status of Indianapolis, as it is now and was years ago, will, however, show marked improvement- The advance, though at times not rapid, has been constant and of a permanent nature. It is well; for, perhaps, no single influence has a more civilizing effect upon a people that musical culture. It elevates the thought, touches the heart, recreates the’mind. While we boast of our commercial, educational, and religious ■apportursities, we should also be able to refer to >ur musical culture and advantages.
