Lza Lehmann's musical setting of Fitzgerald’s version of. the Ru-balyat of Omar Khayyam, which has become an extraordinary fad among fashion- able folk, has aroused much pardon- able curiosity regarding the composer ——a curiosity not hitherto gratified, In private life the writer of the song- cyclus, “In a Persian Garden,” is Mrs. Arthur Beresford, no relative, how- ever, of the BereSfordIfamlly to which the former Duchess of Marlborough has allied” herself. She lives in London, and remains there much of the time. Her home life is delightfully domestic, although she lives in an atmosphere of art and mu- sic, and enjoys great social distinction. Her father, Rudolph Lehmann, was a painter well-known throughout Ger many,‘ and her mother was a com- poser ot songs which always bore the signature of “A.-L." It is small wonder that the child of such parents early, developed genius. Miss Lehmann's early songs, writ- ten some'years- before the songscyclus, bore the unmistakable stamp of crea- tive power, and attained Considerable popularity in England, although little known in this country. Before her marriage Miss Lehmann was a con- cert singer and possessed a beautiful .lyrlc soprano voice. Of late, how- ever, she has devoted herself to her home and compositions, and seldom sings in public. To most persons the accomplishment of a work like “In a Persian Garden," at the age of 31 years, would be glory enough, but Miss Lehmann is not con- tent to rest upon lanrels already min and is busy now with other composi- ‘ tions. Miss Lehmann has a striking person- ality. She is of medium size and mod- est as a flower, her fair hair falls in light, fluffy cur-ls about her forehead and frames 11. girlish face. Her eyes Olpljess the poetic and soulful nature which is apparent in the music she has written and which adapts itself so appreciatively to the verse. , Not the least of her charms is the absence of pretense. She is the personification of amiablllty and has none of the aflecta- ‘tions which frequently accompany suc- cess. : She ls a charming hostess, and, being a remarkable 11113111111, the talent and genius of many lands are to be found 11 her house on her days at home" « a. are“; A New Strlo Bicycle Druids.

The easiest way to manage the tea. table for an afternoon “at home” is to have the tea made in 'a fairly large china. teapot, putting the tea-leaves in bags that may be removed at the prop- er time. This pot 9f tea may be made as strong as is consistent with good flavor and hygienic brew, and on the tea-table should be an inn of hot water kept at the boiling point by an alcohol lamp, this to be used for diluting pur- poses for such as prefer the beverage weak. The tea-balls are dainty and pretty, but their constant use interferes with the reception duties of the hostess. In large establishmen-‘ts. where plenty of maids are at hand, there may be a fresh brew for each caller and for each cup, but the method suggested secures the greatest economy of time and service.
