On Tuesday, Mrs. Timmins used lavender tablecloths, arnethyst candlesticks and pansy Iavender candles, with mounds of deep blue delphinium, purple iris and .calendula. The effect was very beaut.tful. . The stage was arranged stmply wtth a huge branching candlestick of the same purple candles on the grand piano, a comfortable winged chair to the side and a huge basket of yellow and purple and white flowers near the center. This was a very pretty setting for the soloist of the afternoon, 11rs. Marie Sidenius Zendt, who sang two groups of songs, much to the delight of the large audience. · Mrs. Zendt has first of all a most pleasing personality and she sings with great ease and poise.
