Spalding gave his services to the Winetka Music club for a recital for the benefit of the unemployed at New Trier High school. auditorium. The, unrestrained admiration of his audience, whiçh, stoQid when lie firsi appeared, touched Mr. Spalding> and bis wife, who'declared that it rivaled. European, audiences. Mr. Spalding was visibly affected by the. warnith which' greeted himn, and he played. with sincb fire and, brilliance as ,i *seldom beard .f romf a violin. He acknoWledged his g ratefulniles s through, the beauty oif bis tone and the masterly executioàs of the coin- positions- he played. Tt was ail miked up, somiehow, the, audience's. great appreciation for Mr., Sp*aldinig's gen- erou s offer of' bis services without Charge, and -Mr. Spalding's apprecia- tion for the, audience's warmth. The very air seemed electric, and the lis- teners appeared to be particularly en rapport with Mr. Spalding.

Then came the lilting grace of the Mozart' E flat major *concerto, the sparkling tones flitting *and scampering about the violin witli resilience and verve. The "poco. adlagio" moven1-ent glowed with beau- ty and was a charming contrast. Andre Benoist, who hias beenMr Spalding's accompanist for nianv, .,vears, gave a stunning performance *in the Schuinanin D inor sonata for. violin :and . piano. Mr. .Splaldling played as if he were unaw.%are, of the, * intricate ornaramentations ai scale passages ini the Schumann, for for though he ýstruck.onut, lis toiles ...th incredible .speed they were ai- ways perfectly formed,' perf ectWv * rounded and on exact pitch. The sonata, which is rarely heard, has inuch cliaracter and' loveliness, and CHRISTIAN4 SCIENCE SERVICES "Matter" will be the subject at the services i the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Wilmette, Sunday morn- ing, March 22, at Il o'cock.
