AT WEST Black Caracul Coats Because lustrous black caracul of the finer qualities have the supple smoothness of fabric, coats of this fur are a favored fashion. Lending itself so well to manipulation, it is not strange then, that black caracul has been adjudged a perfect me- dium for couturiere de- tails. Following the lines of the new silhouette coats are slightly wrapped in effect, and in many cases show the charming princesse line, or a flaring skirt. A flattering com- plement is the tiny muff of matching fur which has been sponsored by Vionnet. ; $ 650 .o 1875 FURS—SECOND FLOOR 88 FORTY-NINTH SEASON, NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-NINE AND THIRTY Seo FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 18, at 2.30 o'clock SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, at 8.15 o'clock Handel Concerto Grosso for String Orchestra, Op. 6, No. io Overture; Air; Lento; Allegro moderato ; Allegro.

It stood on land that had be- longed to Governor Winthrop, and fol- lowed an ancient house that served the Church as a parsonage until it was broken up for firewood by the British. GP Raymond-Whitcomb also has some- thing of a place in history. It was founded in 1 879 and is the oldest American travel company. It has had a large part in mak- ing travel a favorite vacation pastime. At a time when trips to the West were still regarded as adventure it ran special trains to California. It introduced Alaska, the Canadian Rockies and Yellowstone Park to New Englanders of those days. GP Today the Raymond -Whitcomb clients come from all the United States.

George Frideric Handel (Born at Halle on February 23, 1685 ; died at London, April 14, 1759) Handel's twelve grand concertos for strings were composed be- tween September 29 and October 30, 1739. The tenth bears the date October 22. The London Daily Post of October 29, 1739, said: "This day are published proposals for printing by subscription, with His Majesty's royal license and protection, Twelve Grand Concertos, in Seven Parts, for four violins, a tenor, a violoncello, with a thorough-bass for the harpsichord. Composed by Mr. Handel. Price to subscribers, two guineas. Keady to be delivered by April next. Subscriptions are taken by the author, at his house* in Brook Street, Hanover Square, and by Walsh." In an advertisement on Novem- ber 22 the publisher added, "Two of the above concertos will be per- formed this evening at the Theatre Royal, Lincoln's Inn." The This was the little house, No. 25 Lower Brook Street (now Brook Street), in which Handel lived from 1725 until his death. Here he composed the "Messiah," "Saul," and other oratorios. "Alter his death his valet rented the house and made the most of Handel's long residence to secure lodgers." "Sydney Smith lived in this house in 1835" (George H. Cunningham's "London." Handel lived for three years in Old Burlington House, erected by the third Earl of Burlington, amateur architect and friend of Pope.) In the rate-book of 1725 Handel was named owner, and the house rated at £35 a year. Mr. W. H. Cummins, about 1903, visiting this house, found a cast-lead cistern, on the front of which in bold relief was "1721. G. F. H." The house had then been in possession of a family about seventy years, and various structural alterations had been made. A back room on the first floor was said to have been Handel's composition-room. LEE PATTISON at Jordan Hall, Thursday, October 24th is featuring his new PIANO SUITE "TOLD IN THE HILLS" 1.

SCHMIDT CO., 120 Boylston Street 91 " concertos were published on April 21, 1740. In an advertisement a few days afterwards Walsh said, "These concertos were per- formed at the Theatre Koyal in Lincoln's Inn Fields, and now are played in most public places with the greatest applause." Victor Schoelcher made this comment in his Life of Handel : "This- was the case with all .the works of Handel. They were so frequently performed at contemporaneous concerts and benefits that they seem, during his lifetime, to have quite become public property.
