Tin advent of the American millionaire ant other wealthy people into English sbcietj has led to a number of titled singers now taking part in private recitals under theii own names, and Mr. Kirby says that tin "working aristocracy" is now quite a re cognised, thing in Homo inusital circles In tho forefront of these is Madamo Ed vina, a relative of Lord Kensington, ant : a lady who will ono day be a peeress ii title as she is at present a peeress Ii song.

Paul Dufault in New York. R It will bo interesting lo many ycoplo | who wore delighted heyuml words to have | hoard M. Paul Dulautt sing when tour- p ing the Dominion some months ago with | tho Countess do Cisueros, to learn what B tho New York "Evoning I'ost" has to say 6 of him iu. connection with a recent- re- I cital given in New York. Praise from I New York musical critics is praise rather I worth gaining. Says ■ tho "Tost"Mi. Dufault has never " sinig ' better than he did in tho Aeolian Jfall, when ho gave ono of tho best-selected,, and arranged programmes heard this season. His voice has grown and his stylo broadened; he is now able to range from the delicacy of "Have You Seen but a White Li|y Grow" to the dramatic fcrvolir of Augusta Holmes's "An l'ays"; from tho humour of "Couplet do Triyuet" (from Tschaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin") to the religious' intensity of the "Priere" (from Massenet's "Lo Cid"). His English diction has all the politesse of his French, and no singer excels him in that. Tho omission, of his voice is so free and fluent, his interpretations su naive, and his musicianship so sure that ho can be ranked wit lithe groat artists.. Mr. Dufault was generously applauded, but refrained from giving encores until the end of tho programme, except' after Mr. Spross's "I Know," when ho sang a little song quito J ' away from the tenor of the evening. Farewell Social to Rev, T.

Mr. Goldsmith announced that though there wer6 to be several speakers, there wero to be no epeeches. Though farewells were sad, they wero there to show their appreciation of Mr. and .Mrs. Jones, and long faces were to bo banished for r that evening. Ho greatly regretted Mr.' and Mrs. Jones's departure, and' wished them God-speed. Mr. James Prouso recalled how he had been at the conference when 'Mr. Jones was appointed to Levin five years ago, and how struck he was with the unquestioning acceptance of his appointment. "I go where I am sent," was his reply to his (Mr. Prouse's) inquiry. Major Burlinson, on behalf of the Anglican connection, voiced the goodwill existing between Mr. Jones and members of other denominations. His great modesty, his sincerity and tact had endeared him to nil classes of the community. On l;c----linlf of the members of tho Anglican' Church, he wished Mr. and Mrs. Jones nil good fortune. Tho liev.

He had never heard a . detrimental word spoken of them, tut many expressions of appreciation. ..-Mr. T.- G; Vincent spoke on behalf of" tho Sunday School. Mr. and Mrs. Jones had done foundation work which would bear fruit' in the years to come. ■ The children loved them and would miss them greatly. Mr. Adkin spoke of tho great work done by Mr. Jones as organiser of tho NoLicense League. Mrs. Goldsmith said she felt honoured itidecd that she had been asked to make a presentation to Mr. and Mrs.. Jones. It wns from friends outside the Methodist Church as well as front within. It was a tribute of thoir appreciation of the wholc-hcartedness with which they had carried, out their work among them. She had great pleasure in asking Mrs. Jones to ncont of a case of fish and fruit knives, nnd Mr. Jones two theological books and a purse of sovereigns. Mr. Richard Prouso then made a presentation of an ebony-backed mirror nnd brushes to Mrs. Jones from tho Sunday School, and Mr. Walker ouo (a pair of silver serviette rings) from the Children's Guild. _ Mr. Jones, on Tising to respond, received quite an ovation. Ho thanked Ihcm on behalf of Mrs. Jones and on his own behalf'very heartily for their great kindness. 1 If ho had been ablo to do any groat scrvico for, the coneregalion his greatest aid had been his wife.
