ed between aunt and nephew. During his first winter in Boston he thought of going on the stage as a singer, and studied singing with Georg Henschel. He had a fine voice, a dramatic manner, full of fire, but an imperfect ear. This fault Henschel at first thought could be remedied: for months they labored together, trying to overcome it. Crawford delighted in singing, and Auntie in playing his accompaniments. At dusk the two would repair to the old Chickering grand to make music — Schubert, Brahms, and arias from the oratorios they both loved. In the evening the three guitars would be brought out, and aunt and nephew, with Maud or Brother Harry, would sing and play German students' songs, or the folk-songs of Italy, Ireland, and Scotland. Our mother was sure to be asked for Matthias Claudius's Als Noah aus dem Kasten war: Crawford would respond with Im schwarzen Wallfisch zu Ascalon. This was the first of thirty happy years passed at 241 Beacon Street, the house Uncle Sam bought

ined upon you. Item, I have almost finished my anxious piece of work for the N. Y. Evening Post, after which I shall say, Now, frolic, soul, with thy coat off! In January, 1890, she heard young Cram Ralph Adams Cram, architect and littrateur. explain Tristram and Iseult, and young Prescott execute some of the music. It seemed to me like broken china, no complete chord; no perfect result; no architectonic. She never learned to like what was in those days the new music. Wagner and Brahms were anathema to her, as to many another music-lover of her time, notably John Sullivan Dwight, long-time Boston's chief musical critic. Many a sympathetic talk they had together; one can see him now, his eyes burning gentle fire, head nodding, hands waving, as he denounced what seemed to him wanton cacophony. She avoided the Symphony Concerts at which the new music was exploited; but it was positive pain to her to miss a symphony of Beethoven or Schubert. In March of this year the Sat

m, however, held forcibly here by engagements, and at my age, my bodily presence might be, as St. Paul says, contemptible. I must try to work in some other way. To Laura 241 Beacon Street, December 29, 1895. . . The mince pie was in the grand style, and has been faithfully devoured, a profound sense of duty forbidding me to neglect it .... I went to a fine musical party at Mrs. Montie Sears's on Thursday evening, 26th. Paderewski played, at first with strings a Septet or Septuor of Brahms', and then many things by himself. Somehow, I could not enjoy him much; he played miraculously, but did not seem to be in it. I am more than ever stirred up about the Armenians. The horrible massacres go on, just the same, and Christendom stands still. Oh! a curse on human selfishness! . . . We are to have a dramatic entertainment for the Red Cross on Jan. 7th at Boston Theatre.... December 29 ... I determined to-day to try to work more systematically for the Armenians. Think I wi
