Laneelier. Washington boulevard will give a dinner-party and reception Tuesday panist, Miss Marie Girardy, an elder sister. He Is one of the few soloists of note who care or dare to admit this fact. Accompanists, however skilled or talented, have as a rule a pitiably thankless task, and yet there are many musicians of this class who possess talent if not positive genius. Miss Alice Pettengill of the Tuesday Musicale Is one pianiste who comes under this head.

Miss Pettengill has become well known here and ln other cities as one of the few accomplished pianistes who can readily utilize their true musical feeling in performing the difficult task of the accompanist. Miss Pettengill Is an artist who follows, instead of leading, her soloist-playing always with an Inspiring self-con-fldence, and blending her Individuality as a musician with his. She is complete mistress of the art of filling out the weak places, adding power to the strong passages and lending herself unhesitatingly to every exigency. That is Miss Pettengill as the accompanist with whom we St. Louls-ans are most familiar.

But ln the East, where Miss Pettengill received the firsfpart of her musical education, this little lady Is admired primarily for her fine technique as hibition, which comprises the Ladies' Home Journal's collection of illustrations and a number of oil paintings by one of St. Louis' noted artists, Frederick Oakes Sylvester. Among the Journal's collection are pictures by Charles Dana Gibson, Alice Barber Stephens, W. L. Taylor, A.

X. Frost and other well-known artists and Illustrators. Mr. Sylvester's collection consists of a number of outdoor sketches, which are the result of a summer's work around and about Fall River and the Massachusetts coast. Interesting above all will be his Mississippi River ecenea, for no artist ha made a more careful or poetic interpretation of the Father of Waters.

A PLEASANT event in the fashionable world's cinder last week was the musicale given by Mrs. Kate Broaddus Wednesday afternoon. In her studio at the Conservatorlum. The programme was opened by Miss Jennie Osborne, with a rendition of the beautiful Beethoven "Moonlight" sonata. This was followed by a couple of charming Schumann songs, sung by Miss Christine Noel; a soprano solo by Miss Marie Searles; De Beriot's "First Concerto," for the violin, by Miss Philllpc; a French and a song by Miss Clara Reston; Stigelli's "Chanson de Florian," sung by Miss May Farr; Guy d' Hardelot's "Sans Toi," prettily sung by Mrs.

The receiving party stood before a dense bank of palms, which reached almost to the ceiling ln the north end of the drawing room.

The dining- room was decked in Marechal Kiel roses, yellow chrysanthemums and entiiax. a large center-pice of the three ngling in a decoration for the center of the table.
