The dining room was festooned in holly, and red tapers were used. Among those preseut were Prof, and Mrs. E. P. Trueblood, Prof, and Mrs. Coffin, Miss Laura MorrisEon, Mr. and Mrs. Mendenhall, Mr. and Mrs. Morrisson. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hadley. Miss Mary Johnson, Mr. Will Jenkins. Miss Hel?n Tltsworth.

MUSIC. The retirement of Miss Laura Gaston as organist at Reid Memorial church, which took place the first of the year, will be universally regretted both by the members of that congregation and by the musical public at large. Ever since the erection of that beautiful edifice. Miss aGston has piesided at the magnificent organ in a most acceptable manner. Her super

iority as an organist as well as a pianoist has been unquestionably established. Miss Gaston's numerous recitals, which have been given from time to time, have displayed to great advantage the infinite powers of the great instrument at the Reid Memorial church. No other organ in the city can be compared with it for excellency of construction and surpassing tone quality; and but few churches or cathedrals in the country can boat of ito equal.

ly chosen and of a diversified character. As a successor to Miss Gaston, the administrative board of the church has selected Miss Constance Fosler, of this city, who has for some time been pursuing a special organ course under Prof. Donnely, of Indianapolis, the designer of the Reid Memorial organ. Miss Fosler assumes the work of organist highly recommended by Prof. Donnely. She received a certificate of special merit from him. and a letter of recommendation for the position. Miss Fosler was a student in Germany for two years perfecting her musical education. She is a member of the church and a niece of Daniel G. Reid. donor of the church. Mr. Otto Krone, who has been tenor soloist at the First Presbyterian church for several years, has temporarily given up singing in order to take throat treatment. The choir of First Methodist Episcopal church, under the direction of Prof. J. L. Harris, will repeat Handel's "Messiah" in a few weeks. The approaching marriage of Miss Bertha Irene Chapman, daughter of Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, is of Interest to local vocalists as Miss Chapman is an accomplished singer, having been an exhaustive student of tho art in this country and abroad. She Las been heard from time to time in Richmond and as a sacred soloist has acquired quite a reputation. Miss Chapman will wed the Rev. C. F. Goodson. pastor of Kinsleigh Presbyterian church. St. Louis. Mis.s Karolyn Karl will assist in a recital to be given at the Presbyterian church at Eaton. O.. Monday evening. She will assist the Misses Lindsay and Eikenberry, residents of that place, who recently, with the assistance of

Miss Karl, and Miss Marie Kaufman, gave a recital at the Christian church in this city. Miss Lindsay, pianist, and Miss Eikenberry, violinist, are students at the. Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Oberlin, O. Local musicians will be interested in an innovation that has been adopted by Theodore Thomas orchestra at Chicago at a series of concerts which are being given there this winter, and it is possible that a similar plan, if adopted here in connection with a May Festival, would meet with the same success it is receiving there. The unique plan has been adopted to illustrate all of the musical numubers being played by the orchestra by means of pantomines and tableaux. These effects, with appropriate costumes and colored lights have proven very popular. Nearly 100 of the most prominent society people of the city participated and it was a great social
