A well-matured plan has been arranged by the sons and daughters of the ‘leading families of Indianapolis, to give, at an early date, a theatrical performance with the auxiliaries of paint, costumes, red light and other stage paraphernalia complete. It is for the laudable purpose of raising funds for the Orphans’ Home, and will doubtless attract an immense audience. The management of the undertaking is in the competent hands of Miss Alargaret Butler. Whether the entertainment will be given in the spacious hall of Lr. Allen’s residence or one of the opera-houses is, as yet, undetermined. Airs. Dr. Thompson gave a party to a number of invited guests at her residence on Friday evening, and, despite the fitful showers that came and went all the afternoon and night, the attendance was large. The time was pleasantly spent in conversation, interspersed with instrumental music, until 10 o’clock, when the company sat down to elegantly prepared refreshments, which were served in fine style. Among the guests were Dr. T. H. Morgan and his aunt; Mr. T. A. Hendricks; Dr. and Airs. Woodburn; Air. and Mrs. S. R. Buel; Mr. and Airs. George W. New; Airs. Fannie Patterson; Misses Alma Perkins and Wallace, of Tennessee.

The affair will be in the efficient hands of the Ladies’ Flower Mission and the Indianapolis Light Infantry, which at once insures a large attendance and a perfect management of all necessary details. Over 160 of the first ladies of Indianapolis, with Mrs. George B. Wright as chairman, have already eiven in their names as patronesses of the entertainment. Henry Fraser has been chosen as chairman of the committee on invitations, and Walter Golt, of the Indianapolis National Bank, as chairman of committee on music. Music.

Miss Lydia Alayer, of Covington, Ind., is a young lady of decided beauty and an accomplished performer on the piano. She is visiting Mrs. King, on North Pennsylvania street. The male chorus of the Lyra Society had a splendid rehearsal on Friday night. They are making splendid progress with “Faust,” and give promise of a grand rendition of that opera at the first concert. A fine quartet has been formed for Plymouth Church for the coming winter, and is composed of Miss Stott, soprano; Miss Agnes Sells, contralto; Mr. Andrew Smith, tenor, and M. Bamberger bass. At the Mendelssohn rehearsal, on Alonday night, Mrs. S. L. Morrison sang one of Malloy’s compositions, “On Thursday;” Mr. Glover rendered “’Tis I, Alv Love,” by Abt Both pieces were rendered with fine effect and delighted the somewhat critical audience. Air. Clarence Forsythe held his first rehearsal of his new society for the study of music, at the residence of Miss Whitridge on Pratt street All in attendance were pleased with the plan laid forth for the winter's work, and seem determined to accomplish much before spring. Miss Lnlu Burt, who is devoting her time to voice culture in Cincinnati, was home during the week. She intends entering the fall examination which, if successful, entitles her to free instructions under Fursch-Aladi, of New York city. Her admirers here wish her all success. The concert of Prof. H. J. Schonacker, at Pfaffiin’s Hall, on Thursday evening, was listened to by a crowded honse, and the audience gave frequent evidence of their high appreciation of the exquisite playing by Prof. Sebonacker. In composition and rendition a finer musical treat is seldom -given to Indianapolis audiences. Airs. Spades sang with a sweetness that stirred all present and brought forth a hearty encore.

C Jameson on Friday evening gave a musical party in honor of her guest, Mrs. Ben Northrop, of New York. Among those who were prej-ent were Mr. and Mrs. Wra. Wallace, Mr. and Airs.

P. Egan, Mr. Frank Stalnaker. Miss Anderson is one of the moat promising young pianists in the city. Art. Mrs. Phipps resumes her studies in decorative art the coming week. Mrs. Bunting has puchased, from one of the art studios of Indianapolis, a handsome firescreen, on plush, single panel. Airs. Culbertson has nearly completed a very large oil painting of Minnehaha Falls, near St Paul. The picture was ordered by a gentleman in Illinois. Mrs Dr. J. H. Taylor is at work on a water scene with a group of cattle in the foreground. She devotes most of her leisure time to painting, and does some commendable work. Mrs. Ferry, who has just returned, while absent made numerous sketches from nature, among which is an oil painting of a brook trout, aught with her own hands from Neversink river. Aliss Minnie Lowe is engaged in painting two handsome placques. This young lady’s judgment in form and color is very correct, giving her a marked advantage in landscape work, which she makes a specialty. While Miss Jessie Fisher was in the Alleghenies, during the summer, she devoted her timeimainiy to crayon sketching, having completed twenty-five or thirty sketches, two of which possess especial merit. Miss Emma King, a pupil at the art school last winter, and who has been studying with Mr. Cox, the artist, the past summer, will spend the winter with relatives in New York for the purpose of attending the Art Students’ League of that city. Air. Brazington, though under the rules not a competitor, had a fine display of crayon work at the State fair. Pre-eminently the finest piece in the collection was a full-length panel portrait of Airs. Kent Alorris. the texture and shading of which elicited much praise. Airs. A. D. Pendleton, of North Pennsylvania street, also received special mention for a beautiful oil painting on porcelain. From various causes, a rnajc ity of Indianapolis artists placed no pictures on exhibition this year, but, at the grand display to be held in this city during the fall, the collection will doubtless be much larger, as it will be under the control of the Art Association, devoted to that one interest and attended by the finest artists of the West Aliss Arta Cody, daughter of Hon. W. F. Cody, visited her father while here during the past week. Aliss Cody is a handsome young lady, of many accomplishments. At present she is studying elocution and painting under the finest instructors of Chicago, and intends completing her education abroad. Her efforts in oil painting are said to show a high order of talent, and to have elicited favorable comment from the ablest critics of that city. Aliss Cody has many friends and admirers in Indianapolis. It can be safely said that there is a permanent advance in Indianapolis art and in the methods employed by those engaged in its study. Too much care cannot be taken, however, with the beginner. Without any intention of being severe it can be stated as truth that there are many who are wasting their time in the belief they are making fine pictures, when they are unable to properly mix the commonest colors or to draw the simplest object from nature. They have begun to paint before learning the rudiments of art. Form, distance, size and proportion are as necessary acquirements in oil painting as is the ability to distinguish colors, and until the pupil can make or properly sketch a scene he can never successfully put it on canvas. At the State fair, the art branch of the woman’s department was quite extensive, and doubtless attracted more attention than any other feature of that part of the exhibit Under the rules no one but ladies were permitted to enter the contest, thereby closing the doois to some of the finest artists of Indianapolis and the State.
