Techni- cally, she is all that can be desi Miss Powell ts the possessor of an album which she prizes very highly, for in it are re- corded the signatures of all the eminent musicians, as well as other people of note Many of them have added some happy sentiment to their autographs. Upon one oceasion Miss Powell played the Tschaikowsky conce’ with Seldi's orchestra. Upon a which Mr. Seidl gs wrote, photograph of himself, her at the time, h ‘In remembrance of the concerto, And apparently so pleased was he with her perfect rendition of this beautiful con- certo that, when he came to write in her autograph book, he could think of n more appropriate than to copy a fe of this music, with the ve dendum underneath: have made it . April 7, ISSs.”" A half dozen or more bars of the Moor light Sonata, “To Maud Powell, in remem- brance of London," elix Mosche has added to his autograph; while his mother, a lady eighty years old and over, has written her name clearly and beautifully. The great Joachim and litde Josef Hof- mann have left their names upon the pages of this book.

It is to be hoped that he will again visit Washington and give one or more recitals where he can have full scope to display his versatile powers.

My dear, ulein Krahi will have t ght your Chrisimas tr r you this year, your poor mother will be far away, in America.” In an instant a pair of litle arms w about her neck, and a little vol broken with sobs, was crying. “Du sollst bel uns bleiben! Du sollst bei uns blefben!” (You mustn't go from us) he tiny Herto ceased his play, and clinging to his mother’s skirts cried, with Puppi, “Du sollst. bleiben! With many kisses and many tears did Puppi and Herto piead that they should not be left to spend their Christmas in loneliness, with their mother far across the ocean. The ambition of the artist proved to be not so strong as the love of the mother, and so Carreno prom- ised he- litle ones, then and there, that she would stay with them to lig! their Christmas tree. And that is why Carreno’s American tour does not begin until January % She will be in Washington later in the season. The second monthly “musicale” of the complimentary course, which will be given during the season by the pupils of Prof. H. E. Saitsman and Mr. William de Ford, was held Friday evening in their studio, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion with growing plants and cut flow- ers. The select audience present was high- ly pleased with the program, especially the primary class, the themselves finely. little misses acquitting The following young ladies and gentlemen participated: Misses Carrie Wanstall, May and Blanche Haney, Lizzie and Rosa Lerch, Mary Rupertus, Lula Drennan, Theresa Schoenborn, Ella Ehishlager, Eva Eleanor Burges, Robert Brad- Florence Hayde: Mamie Rupertus, Whitford, Jennie Tyrer, Nellie MacNulty and Mess! ley and P. H. Maxwell. It will be welcome news to many to hear that Moritz Rosenthal, the pianist, who has been dangeronsly fll in Chicago, is now rapidly recovering, and a letter from his manager, Mr. Henry Wo'fsohn, states that “Rosenthal will positively appear in the third Metropolitan concert in March.” Perhaps one of the most remarkable things in connection with Moritz Rosenthel ts the versatility of his attainments. Rosenthal is an example of the endurance and development of the infant prodigy, that much advertise! freak of which the public has come to entertain a just sus- picion. It is seldom enough that the in- fant prodigy amounts to anything in after life, and Kosenthai seems to be the excep- tion that proves the rule. At four he gave unmistakable signs of ability; at 10 he played in pubijic Chopin's rondo in C for two pianos with his master Mékull; at 14 he gave a successful concert in Vienna, and he subsequently weit to Bucharest, here he was appointed pianist to the Roumanian court. In 1875, while. his parents were living in Vienna, he studled under Joseffy. It is interesting to note in this connection the sudden leap that both these artists have made in popular favor in the last year. ‘The next concert of the Metropolitan series is in January, and Mme. I dllian Nor- dica is announced. The management, in response to many requests, has placed sea- son tickets on sale for the remaining four concerts at the box office of the Columbia.
