17Mr. and Mrs. Carl Alves Home.—Mr. and Mrs. Carl Alves have returned to town and resumed teaching at their residence, 1146 Park avenue. Mrs. Alves has just declined an offer from a prominent concert company for an eleven weeks' tour through the States, being unwilling to forego her New York engagements for so long a period.

Receptions will be given the artist by the Norwegian societies of New York and Brooklyn.

31Pauline Ingre Johnson.—This gifted young soprano, pupil of Miss Emma Howson, is out with her first season's circular, which contains several highly flattering press notices from New York and its suburbs, as well as from Chicago and other points of the West. As a pure coloratura singer Miss Johnson is bound to win a prominent place, and she already possesses a good sized répertoire of operatic music as well as songs.
33Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler.—Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler's orchestral concert, which will be given in Carnegie Music Hall on Wednesday evening, October 28, will virtually be the opening of the concert season. Anton Seidl and his Metropolitan Orchestra have been engaged, and the program is such as to give Mme.

35Sauret.—The enormous répertoire of the French violinist has reached his management, Messrs. Johnson & Arthur, and consists of 439 compositions, 121 of which are from his own pen. The first reappearance of Sauret in America will be made on January 10, at the third Philharmonic concert. As well as bearing decorations from the principal courts of Europe, Sauret is said to be the possessor of the two violin bows of Vieuxtemps, and to be the only violinist who ever played the first concerto of Vieuxtemps when the master himself directed the orchestra.
37Miss Lillie Berg.—Miss Lillie Berg, the vocal teacher, has just returned from a four months' tour in Norway, Sweden, Russia, Germany and Austria, meeting many famous persons during her trip. Among the distinguished persons who entertained Miss Berg during her stay abroad were Spielhagen, the German novelist, and Mons. Clemenceau, the famous leader of the French Radicals. She also visited at several beautiful châteaux belonging to members of the court of Württemberg. Although prominently associated with New York musical and social life, Miss Berg has kept up influential intimacies formed in Germany during her girlhood, while prosecuting her first musical studies at the Stuttgart Conservatory.
39Miss Berg is at home mornings to inquirers concerning lessons from herself or from her assistant teachers at her new studios in "The Mystic," 123 West Thirty-ninth street.
41Ondricek's Arrival and Appearances.—Ondricek will sail for this country on the Columbia on the 31st of this month.

Bjorksten's Election.—At the last meeting of the board of directors of the National American Institute in Paris, held at the residence of Mrs. Walden Pell, 1 Avenue Montaigne, at the proposition of Mrs. Pell and Mme.

50Chamber Music in Chicago.—The first of a series of chamber music concerts, under the auspices of the Clayton F. Summy Company, was given in Central Music Hall, Chicago, Ill., on the evening of October 8. The Kneisel Quartet of Boston, played the Beethoven E flat quartet, the Schubert variations in D minor, and, aided by Mr. Leopold Godowsky, the Dvorák quintet in A major, all of which were given in a masterly way. Mr. Godowsky played nearly the whole of the first book and a portion of the second book of Brahms-Paganini variations, and the Chopin allegro de concert, creating immense applause and a hearty recall, responding with the D flat waltz of Chopin, arranged in thirds by himself. Miss Minnie Fish Griffin sang several selections by Beethoven, a Russian lullaby by
