Earl Gerard Hanna, Frederick Coe Smith, Mr. Robert Caldwell, Mr. Frank Acheson Harden and Mr. Frederic Lewis Curtis. interest is being manifested in the recital WIDESPREAD Paderewski has generously consented to give for the benefit of the Musical School Settlement at the Hotel Plaza on the afternoon of the twenty-ninth.

Among those who are interested in the success of the affair are Mrs. John S. Kennedy, Mrs. Arthur H. Scribner, Frederick A.

Snow, Mrs. Adrian H. Joline, Mrs. George L. Nichols, Mrs.

Charles B. Alexander, Mrs. Henry M. Baker, Mrs. Warren Delano, Mrs.

Cleveland H. Dodge, Mrs. E. C. Henderson, Mrs.

Sidney C. Borg, Mrs. Henry Seligman, Mrs. John H. Cole, Miss Annie B.

Jennings and Miss Eleanor Blodgett. Boxes and reserved seats may be obtained from Miss Doane, 18 West Thirty -fourth Street. directors of the Master School of Music are highly THE delighted over the fact that Ellen Beach Yaw, the noted high soprano, has offered her services to the school for a concert which will be given at Historical Hall on the evening of Easter Monday. Miss Yaw, who is the possessor of a voice of remarkable range, joined the forces at the Metropolitan Opera House the latter part of the season, She will be assisted at the concert by Herbert Lake Waterous, barytone, and Mr. Guetary of the Master School.

The concert promises to be a distinguished affair socially and will be given under fashionable patronage. triple closing of the opera season at the Metropolitan last week was accomplished with the customary eclat. There was a large crowd for "Don Giovanni" on Friday evening, a larger crowd for "Tannhaeuser" on Saturday afternoon and a still larger crowd for "Il Trovatore" on Saturday evening. The immense "Don Giovanni" audience was particularly gratifying, as this great Mozart revival has had little advertisement of the sort that draws great numbers to see an opera out of sheer curiosity, while the "Tannhaeuser" overflow of standees, many of them women, was convincing enough proof that Wagner is still quite able to hold his own. Some of those who heard "Don Giovanni" on the final subscription evening were Mr.

and Mrs. James McKeen, Miss Elizabeth McKeen, Mr. and Mrs. Francis L. Hine, Miss Charlotte R.

Stillman, Mr. and Mrs. James G. Oxnard, Dr. J.

Arthur Booth, Mr. Waldo Booth, Mr. and Mrs. William Earl Dodge, Mr. Charles P.

Notman, Mr. William S. Pardonner, Mr. Fordham Paye, Mr. J.

Norman de R. Whitehouse and Mr. Worthington Whitehouse. INTEREST in next week's evening cycle of "Der Ring des Nibelungen" is naturally very great. "Das Rheingold" on Monday, "Die Walkuere" on Tuesday, "Siegfried" on Thursday and "Die Gotterdammerung" on Saturday are all splendidly cast with the entire contingent of German singers and Hertz and Mahler will alternate as conductors.

Placed as it is quite apart from the regular season, this cycle will have a dignity all its own. IT was a great pity that Mrs. Humphry Ward, who delivered her lecture on "The Peasant in Literature and the Novel" at Association Hall on Tuesday evening, should have attempted to speak in a place of that size for her voice, delightfully carrying power the large audience succeeded modulated for conversation, was absolutely inadequate in hearing more than a small proportion of her admirable paper. As was the case when she delivered the same lecture in Manhattan, people looked a trifle surprised and bewildered when she spoke of Mary E. Wilkins, Sara Orne Jewett, Owen Wister and George Cable as delineators of American peasant life on this side of the water.

One clever woman in the audience was heard to say after the lecture that she wondered what her neighbors at Stony Brook, L.I., would say if they were classed as "American peasantry." Previous to the lecture the distinguished authoress was welcomed in the parlors of the association by a committee from the Brooklyn Woman's Club which had united with the trustees of the LIFE. 15 Institute to greet Mrs. Ward. This hospitality committee, which also sat on the platform with the speaker, was composed of Mrs. Walter Burritt Moore, Mrs.

Camden C. Dike, Mrs. St. Clair McKelway and Mrs. Charles H.

Levermore, who represented the Brooklyn Woman's Club; Mrs. Frank M. Lupton, who brought Mrs. Ward and her niece, Miss Eleanor Whitridge, over from Manhattan in her automobile; Mr. and Mrs.

William J. Combs, Mrs. Sidney Allan Fox; Mrs. Kate Upson Clark, Dr. Julian W.

Abernethy, Mr. St. Clair McKelway, Dr. Charles H. Levermore, Dr.

and Mrs. Fred W. Atkinson and Mr. George C. Brackett.

At the conclusion of the paper an informal reception was held on the platform, a number of the audience stopping to meet Mrs. Ward. Later in the evening a large and very brilliant reception was tendered her at the Barnard Club, fully three hundred people being present. Mrs. Thomas R.

French headed the receiving line, introducing the guests to the president of the club, Mr. Seth Thayer Stewart, who stood next the guest of honor. The receiving party further included Miss Whitridge, Miss Louisa Man Wingate, and Mrs. Seth Thayer Stewart. A Tuesday LUNCHEON afternoon was by given Mrs.

Frederick Brown, Mr. Charles. Valentine and Mr. Harper Kitchings as ushers. A NY number of nice things are being said about the dramatic recital which Miss Maude B.

Adams gave at the Berkeley Institute on Tuesday afternoon. Particularly good was her rendering of "The Hazing of Valliant," from Jessie Lynch Williams's "Princeton Stories." Miss Adams's other numbers were Whittier's "Among the Hills," "Hiawatha's Wooing," given with the pianoforte music which Rossiter Cole wrote for it; and "Keeping a Seat at the Benefit," the last being a monologue by May I. Fisk. Mrs. Mabel: Davis Rockwell's mellow soprano voice was heard in a group.

of three numbers and in the "Jewel Song" from "Faust" and the piano solos of Miss C. Louise Scott were also pleasingly rendered. Miss Florence Adams, Miss Olga Knoblock, Miss Elvira McCullough and Miss Pauline Scott were the ushers..
