Miss Katherine Cooiison. Miss Katherine Goodson, the famous English pianist, whoso name will bo familiar to all those, who follow up musical matters in the Home and American papers, will leave. Wellington at the week-end for the south in company with her husband (Mr. lArtlmr Hinton). During her brief stay in New Zealand, and whilst in "Wellington, Miss Goodson lias been pressed to give a recital, but without success. She is on a rest tour, and has banished recitals from her mind for the time being. Referring to this question yesterday, Miss Goodson said that what she had heard of the experiences of some recitalists was not exactly encouraging. "Fancy Carreno, the reigning queen of pianists, not being known here, and doing poorly I" said Miss Goodson. "It's scarcely imaginable I" .When it is known that Carreno on her second visit (lid just as poorly as on her first, what ground is thero to stand on in urging iliss Goodson to givo a recital? In any case she would only consent to do so anywhere under a guarantee given in the ordinary business Way, and that is hardly likely to happen in New Zealand at present. To snow how very backward we are here in music, without referring at length to tho severe' "frosts" that set in when Carreno—and Leonard Borwick, too—flooded the souls of a few enthusiasts with ecstatic delight, it might bo mentioned that on leaving Now Zealand next montli Miss Goodson will sail for Sydney, en route to Java, where she lias contracted to give no fewer than twentv-fivc recitals by Mr. Emilo Bucker (l' ere recently with MMs. Mirovitch and Piastro). On leaving Java, Mr. andMrs'. Hinton will leave for America, stopping atTjTSnolulu to give two recitals there. Miss Goodson has already made arrangements to tour tho United States again next season. Melting to conditions in America, Miss Goodson says that all • the Continental musicians are Hooding over to America. They have heard of the land of dollars and its touring resources, but there are so many of them, and such a largo number of second and third-rate people, that many of them are almost starving. They can get nothing to do, musically, and tho cost ; of living is so high that they are, in many instances, experiencing very hard times. Miss Goodson is a charming conversationalist, and an Englishwoman of the highest culture. .Many things are Lo happen "after the war." Lot'us hope that one of them will be a professional visit to Now Zealand by this fine artist. Maori Soldiers' Fund.

<3?.mp Concerts. The soldiers in camp at Featherston ■ are always appreciative of a good musical- programme, and the fare provided by Madame Caldow's little concert party in the Y.M.C.A. Hall last Tuesday night drew forth unstinted applause from a densely-packed audience. The party comprised Madame Caldow, Miss Varney,. and Corporal and Mrs. 'Luks, and for nearly two lours thoy lield their audience by the sheer excellence of their contributions. Madame Caldow was in fine voice, and quite upheld the reputation established by her .'artistry on previous visits. Among her many items were "The Rosary," "I Bear Yon Calling Me," "The Three Fishers," and a number of the nowfer popular ballads which so appeal fo the men of the Army. Miss Varney's daintiness and tuneful voice won her a warm place in tho hearts of the soldiers, who applauded her insistently. This young lady also sang quite a number of songs, scoring her bpst successes inch "Coming' Home" and "Down Vauxhall .Way." The humorous element toS supplied by Corporal Luks, of B Company, 'Nineteenth Reinforcement, and Mrs. Imlcs,
both of whom aro possessed of considerable talent in this direction. It all they gave thirteen items, mostly duets, .and contributed in no email measure to the success of the evening. "Come, Josephine," "I Was a Good Little Boy," "I Never Heard of Anybody Dying," and "The Naughty Little Bird on Nellie's Hat" were perhaps the best of their double numbers, while Mrs. Luks's excellent impersonations of Miss Daisy Jerome sin sing "The Heart of the City" and llfss Nellie Collie rendering "Where are the Boys of New Zealand To-Night?" fairly brought the house down. The topical and original work of these clever funsters was responsible for much laughter. Miss Caldow and her party are, repeating the performance at the Tauherenikau Camp on Wednesday night. ' The members of the Nineteenth Reinforcement axe. now completing arrangements for a concert which they intend giving in the Wellington Town Hall in the near future. By this means it is hoped to raise a sufficient sum to provide small comforts for the men while on the troopship. As the Nineteenths have a number of talented performers on their strength, the concert should prove a success.
Ladies! Make a point of' inspecting tlie splendid new range of. quality Panamas at Price's Store," Willis Street. Prices range from 12s. Gd., 155., 17e. 6d., 21s. up.—Advt.
