She. does not imitate any of the famous violinists’ styles, but seems to give a sincere and original interpretation of her own. She shows in the past year since she appeared at the Arts Club and under the auspices of the Wash- ington Society of Fine Arts here, a marked development in a style of her own. Her howing is swift and sure with a powerful sweep and depth of tone that seem miraculous. The quality of her tone is crystal clear, vet has warmth and color. Who knows but Sylvia may prove the Maud Powell of her generation? The opening selection vesterday was Corelli's “La Folia,” given as, ing to the program notes, transcribed by Alhert Spalding incidentally, s another allAmerican violinist of splendid achievement. The delicate embroideries of the florid old work were delightfully set was in the Saint-Saens' ' in B Minor" t both ac curacy of technique and cleverness in shading of tone showed the real powers of this young violinist.

The Chaminade- Kreisler “Spanish Serenade” was an encore that continued in the same general mood. The last group included a “Grand Adaglo” of Glazounow and a brilliant “Polonaike in A," by Wieniawski. The encores, received with marked en- thusiasm, were “Falry Sailing,” by Cecil Burleigh, a work not heard on programs here before and charming- ly done, and Krefsler's “La Gitana." Many of Miss Lent's friends and ad- mirers flocked back-stage after the concert.

King George waited 40 minutes in the hig crowd at the King's Cross Station for the train on which Queen Maud was treveling, which had been de. laved on the trip from New Castle No preparations had heen made at the station for the coming of King i and Queen Mand, and the po- lice Started to clear a space on the crowded platform for the King. The monarch, however, would not allow the crowds to he interfered with. The people recognized the King, and, when they learned the purpose of his presence at the station, kept a sym- pathetic silence. A majority of the men stood with their hats in hand until the monarch motioned for them to replace them When finally the train came into the station, King George greeted his sister and told her of the condition of Princess Victoria, He then es- corted her to his motor car and tipped his hat ‘to the crowd in.ac- knnwledgment of its salutations as he drove away.
