Not the least interesting item of the week in the affairs of tiie Shuttle Meadow club was the announcement that the house committee wouid, er complete plans for a party, the actual character of w s not disclosed at this date. Since it will be the first club dance in many weeks it is sure to draw a gala attendance. Perhaps the increasing numbers of persons who go South or to Europe for the mid-winter gaieties has something to do with the omission, but, whatever the reason, fortnightly dinner dances have not been in vogue since the holi- days. Pardon Rickey, the recenily appointed chairman of the | club house committee is responsible for the next event and has! arranged to give a big and colorful party. | An increasing number of affairs occur at the club house as the season progresses. On Tuesday, Miss Priscilla Crabtree will entertain a group of friends, including for the most part, the younger set of the town. On the following day Mrs. | Howard Bruemmer gives a luncheon followed by bridge, enter- taining many qf the young ladies of town as well as several of the younger matrons. Thursday is always a festive day at the club, more especially in the evening, since several of the club members take advantage of the special dinner served on that night, many of them giving small parties, while still others get‘; together with the ever popular “no-host” party. | With the somewhat sudden reappearance of spring-like weather, skates and skis ave put in the discard, golf again com- ing to the front. The fact that the course is a bit damp in spots does not in the least deter the enthusiast—the allure of the game you see. All in all, a oay little season is in prospect at the Shuttle Meadow club, with a dance in the near future, two luncheon parties, to say nothing of the usual run of small affairs, again the po - of golf, which adds, m no small | way to the general ac club. The Wennerberg Male Ch under the drection of John | A. Lindsay and Charles A.

Marcus | H. Fleitzer, 64 Coolidge strect, was an account of Mrs. Emille Andzu- | latis of what her deceased husband, the late Dr. Joseph J. Andzulatis, had told her of his meetings with the famous composer, Tschaikowsky. Dr. Andzulatis had first met Techaikowsky. in Moscow, while studying the violin. Numerous inci- | dents were told of the meetings of i the two in this city. Later Dr. An- | zulatis and Tschalkowsky met in 8t. Petersburg, now Petrograd, and it was while at the home of Tschal- kowsky there, when several musi- | cians had gathered, that the gend- armes entered and asked what the meeting was about, as was the cus- tom in Russia. They spied Techai- | kowsky's trunk, filled with music #nd books, and on finding some of them were in foreign languages, grew increasingly suspicious. Finally, however, they were convinced the gathering had nothing in common with a plot againet the Czar and allowed the meeting to continue, Mrs. Andzulatis told of the final | vears of Tachaikowsky as she learn- ' |ed the details from her husband. The composer had married but was | very unhappy.
