1. Lolita, Valse Brillante,
Carol Williams
a. Abdallah, flarch a la Turque,
Alma A. Crowley
1. A cleverly written valse brillante
which has merit and effective scoring to
commend it. Mr. Williams' composition
should prove a favorite in the parlor.
2. This number possesses what is so rare
nowadays—the merit of originality. It is
a quaint and clever conceit, full of oriental
coloring, which should become popular.
1. That's What I'd Ask of the Fairies,
W. H. Batchelor
2. Dare Devil Willie,
W. H. Batchelor
3. When Cupid Comes a'Knocking at the Door,
Gustav Luders
1, 2, 3. Popular "trifles" which are sung
in "Little Robinson Crusoe." They were
written to catch the popular fancy, and
have succeeded in doing so. The words
are by Harry B. Smith, and are of the
popular order.

5. Another excellent two-step, which is
tunefully and intelligently constructed.

and should prove a favorite for church or
parlor. The verse by the composer is most
creditable.
2. A pretty waltz song of the popular
order. Displays little originality.
3. Mr. Friday has written a very pleas-
ing melody, and the words by Mr. Gardner
are quaintly sentimental. It is in common
time, key of C.
4. Mr. Gaunt has won a wide reputation
for his songs, and this clever composition
is up to the standard. It is a simple
melody in waltz time, with refrain in com-
mon time. The verse, by the composer,
tells the story of juvenile life on the East
side. It is a song that appeals to the hearts
of the masses, and on that account will be-
come a favorite.

1. While this composition is not up to
the standard of Mr. Heyendal's previous
works, it is a very creditable march, ac-
curately arranged and pleasing in melody.
It lacks individuality, nevertheless; most
acceptable.

1. A poetic and expressive ballad, the
arrangement of which shows the hand of a
thorough musician. It is written for so-
prano voice in D flat, and is a number that
should be found in the repertoire of high-
class singers. It can be had also for alto or
baritone in A flat. Mr. Chapman's verse
is as pleasing as his melody.
2. Splendid baritone song which affords
excellent opportunities for a good singer.
The spirited melody is full of color a la
militaire. Can be highly recommended.
3. This serenade is equally praiseworthy.
It is for medium voice in A minor, six-
eighth time with waltz refrain. It is a
most effective and charming ballad
throughout. The words are by the com-
poser.
4. A high-class ballad. The simple but
expressive theme is set to Chas. Kingsley's
beautiful verse. It is suitable for mezzo-
