MUSIC Mr. Dunstan Collins, of Chicago and Mr. Justin Le Roy Harris of this city have announced a subscription series of artist recitals to be given in Richmond this winter. While the subscription list has not been completed enough subscriptions have already been secured to assure the series. Five of the world's great artists will be presented in four recitals. The artists are Bruno Steindel, soloist of the Chicago Thomas Orchestra, and the greatest living cellist; Hans Schroeder, the great German barytone; Jeanette Durno, one of the two Xeally great American women pianists; Hugo Kortschak, violinist, and Glenn Dillard Gunn in a lecture recital. Mr. Bruno Steindel Is well known to Richmond musicians. . He is without question the world's greatest living cello, virtuoso . and his recital will be an event in ouf musical life. , Mr. Hans Schroeder was for many years one of. Berlin's, greatest, opera barytones, singing -the - leading . roles In ,Troyatore," , "Faust," "Mignon,' "Tannhauser," "Figaro," etc , Later he was led by the refined quality of his voice to devote himself entirely to concerts and. oratorios, meeting with unusual success as a Lieder and Oratorio 6inger, in. Berlin,. Leipsic, Munich, Vienna, and Amsterdam. As a reader of Brahms, Schumann and the classics, Mr. Schroeder is unsurpassed. Jeanette Durno is a product of the great Leschetizky, and has made a tremendous success abroad, as well as in America, appearing with our greatest orchestras. She has played over twenty-three times with the Thomas orchestra alone, and was a favorite artist with Mr. Theodore Thomas himself. She leaves America the last of December to fill two years engagements in European musical centers. Mr. Thomas called her "a student In Bach: and Beethoven, a poetess in Chopin and Schumann, and an Amazon in Liszt and Tschalkowsky." j Hugo Kortschak was for six years a member in Berlin- of the Hugo. Heermann String Quartette, and was brought over to America , with Hugo Heermann, the greatest violinist Germany has ever produced, by Dr. Ziegfeld, of the Chicago Musical College. At his first appearance as soloist with the Theodore Thomas orchestra, Mr. Stock and- the orchestra went wild over him, many Baying he played like Ysaye and Kubelik. Mr. Glenn Dillard Gunn is the musical editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean, has twice been elected president of the Illinois Music Teachers' Association, and In connection with the University of Chicago Extension has given over twenty lecture-recitals In Chicago during the past year. His lectures are illustrated at the piano by comprehensive programs, selected from t the whole range of classic and modern music, including not only the literature of the piano, but such examples of ,r orchestral, operatic . and song literature as are essential to his purpose. , . The first recital will be given Dec 9, the second Jan. 6, the third on Feb. S, and , the fourth on some date in April, yet to be selected. . No single admissions will be sold to any of the concerts, but a number of season tickets will be . issued. . It is expected that the tickets will all be taken two weeks before the first program. But a small number remain tobe subscribed for and when they are taken no further seats can be had. The recitals will be held at the Gennett theater. . Miss Kirk, will have charge of the music , department . of Earlham college while Miss Lucy Francisco is abroad. - J J An Interesting meeting of the Music Study club was held Wednesday morning of the past week, in the Starr Piano parlors. -jr .

In fact it must be of either spotted or plain tulle, in' a quite contrasting color to the rest of the costume. The petticoat should be an object of special care.

Madame Spectator's Observations

BY CATHERINE ALLMAN.

I believe It was Madame de Stael who declared, that. silken hosiery gave her moral courage to defy the whole world and that a pretty "hat had the pleasing effect of elevating her mind to celestial happiness. - t Something of this self satisfied poise filled my mind as, clad in new fall raiment, I swept grandly down the street amid silken rustlings.. But pride goeth before a fall, even as haughtiness bumps the bumps, A little chap out for, an airing with his mother, watched my approach In what it pleased me to consider was deepest awe. Nearer, 1 earned and finally passed him, with a frou-frou of taffeta linings., I heard him turn and watch my onward course.
