A delightful hospitality accorded
members of the Ladies Auxiliary

Association, which met two days of
last week In our city was the lunch-
eon, Monday, with Mrs. J. K.
Northway as hostess. The guest

she was married in Home on Jan
uary 14 to Prince Alessandro Tor-
lonia, were heirlooms of the Span-
ish royal family, but one of the
most striking pieces, it was learn-
ed here, was the work of an Am-
erican designer, Paul Flato, of 1
East Fifty-seventh street.
“Mr. Plato's work was a five-and-
half-lnch spray of four flowers,
made entirely of diamonds set in
platinum, und was one of the four
pieces given by the Duchess Tor-
lonia to her son's bride. The petals
of the blossoms are covered with
small diamonds, with a two-carat
stone in the center of each of the
four flowers. Their stems are mudc
up of baguette diamonds. Each of
the four flowers is separate, und
when worn they are held together
by a diamond dusp.
“Three of them have canary dia-
monds in their centers, the fourth
a white one. All the rest of the
stones are white.
"The other three Jewels given to
the Infanta Reatriz by her mother-
in-law are a large clasp set with
ten pearls, two two-carat diamonds
and numerous small ones; a ring
made of two bands of square-cut
crystal with a band of diamonds be-
tween them, and a bracelet of small
platinum hemispherical shells set
with heads of small emeralds. All
were the work of Mr. Flato.
“He declined to state the value
of the Jewels, except that it was
‘several thousand dollars.’ The idea
of large flower pins which, he said,
are becoming popular among wo-
men in New Yofk, was inspired by
a diamond pin once the property of
the Empress Eugenie of France
and now owned by Mr. Flato, made
in the form of a bunch of currants
with their leaves.
“ 'Seventy-five years ago,’ Mr.
Flato said, ‘every well-dressed wo-
man had to have at least one big
jewel, a flower or a sunburst or
something of that sort. These are
simply modern versions of the
same thing, and if they were
handsome seventy-five or a hun-
dred years ago, why shouldn't
they be today?’ ’’
Mr. Flato visited in Corpus
Christl and Kingsville the past
year.

by the first movements of various
sonatinas played by Adelaide Trost,
Warren Trost and Wallace Trost,
while an entire sonatina, Relncke,
Op. 136 No. 3, was played by Fran-
ces Ferrell.
Preceding each group of piano
selections, a brief commentary on
the development of Form in Mu-
sic was given by Mrs. Firnhaber.
She impressed upon her students
the fact that a thorough knowledge
and appreciation of the beauties of
Form are essential to the real en-
joment of what is called classical
music. Mrs. Firnhaber further ex-
plained that classical music Is a
term vaguely used and frequently
misunderstood. Many students care
for music only as it appears in the
guise of attractive rhythm or pleas-
ant tune. To them "classical mu-
sic" is dry, empty and meaningless.
This Is due to lack of knowledge
ns there are many beauties in
music beyond mere catchiness of
tune or rhythmical obviousness.
