BROOKLYN LIFE. 18 Kellock, while an exceedingly pretty ceremony, was necessarily a very quiet one. The wedding took place at the home of the bride's grandmother, 228 Lincoln place, on Wednesday evening, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. Dr. James M.

Farrar. Miss Madeleine Knapp was maid of honor and Mr. Charles W. Preston, junior, acted as best man. Mr.

and Mrs. Kellock left for the South, where they will remain until May, after which they are to make their home in Flatbush. AARON BURR and Madame Betty Jumel both play an important part in Miss Katherine S. Terry's four-act play, "In Old New York," which is to have its initial production next week Thursday evening at the Kings County Democratic Club, where it is to be given by the class of '04, Packer Collegiate Institute, for the benefit of the Alumnae Building Fund. The cast will include Miss Claire Might, Miss Gertrude Baldwin, Miss Katherine Kraetzer, Miss Anna Van Wickle, Miss Adele Boyer, Miss Blanche Wandel, Miss Clara Naylor, Miss May Bamberger, Miss Fanny Boyd, Miss Maud McCord, Miss Catherine Meserole and Miss Melissa Rogers.

The stage managers are Miss Eleanor Cope-land and. Miss Miriam Bagg. NONE of the recently graduated classes of the Packer is more energetic than '04, which is to give an informal dance in the gymnasium of the Institute on the nineteenth of next month, while on the evening of the thirteenth it will hold its annual dinner. A bit of class superstition clings to the number thirteen, as it always proved its lucky number, commencement, senior dramatics and various other successful affairs having fallen on that date. NOT the least pleasant feature of the last reception of the Associate Alumnae of the Packer Collegiate Institute, which was held at the school last week Monday afternoon, was the singing of old Packer songs.

Printed slips containing the words were handed around and as the expression goes "everybody joined in." The arrangements for the afternoon were in the hands of Mrs. William C. Van Vleet, chairman of the reception committee, while among those who assisted her were Mrs. J. D.

Anden, Mrs. E. P. Crowell, Miss Mary E. Peck, Miss Ella Mead, Mrs.

Frederick Hawley, Miss E. L. Cox, Miss Miriam Post Bagg, Miss Elizabeth Steele, Miss Mary McKeon, Miss C. M. Worth, Mrs.

This is to be an "Alice in Wonderland" and variety performance and will have among its features a "Lobster, Quadrille" by sixteen little children; impersonations of children and dolls by Melanie Murdock, and poses and songs by little Marion Wood Bullwinkle.

INSTEAD of taking place on Wednesday evening of next week, as was originally planned, the next Wednesday Evening Dance will be held on the ninth of next month. THE Pouch Gallery has been chosen by the Orpheus Club as the scene of its concert and dance, which is scheduled for Wednesday evening of next week. The members of this club are Mr. C.

IN aid of the Industrial Home for the Blind a very successful Easter apron and cake sale was held at the institution, 516 Gates avenue, on Tuesday afternoon and evening. The guests were received by Mrs. F. T. Herx, president Mrs.

J. G. Jenkins, vice-president, and Mrs. W. D.

Meurlin, chairman of the entertainment committee. Those in charge of the different departments were Apron table Mrs. John Bohnet, Mrs. THE second of the Barclay Dunham song lectures and recitals at the Pierrepont Assembly Rooms on Wednesday morning of last week brought to a close a most instructive and entertaining musical series which ought to be a special feature of every Lenten season. For the most part it had to do with the songs of Schumann, Brahms, Tschaikowsky and Strauss aptly designated by Mr.

Dunham as "the four immortals." It was Elgar's exquisite song, "Invocation to Music," however, that opened the program, for the purpose of projecting the audience into the proper musical atmosphere, and it was another very modern composer, Villiers-Stanford, who, in "Back to Ireland," gave Mrs. Dunham one of her best opportunities. Mrs. Dunham also sang very beautifully some Strauss songs, notably "All Souls' Day," and a Schumann song with English words by the soulful Bjrron a ballad rarely sung and in this instance enthusiastically received. Mr.

Dunham's lecture showed not only deep study and keen musical intelligence but flashes of humor. An amusing incident of the morning was the determination of a hand-organ man to grind out his tunes directly under the windows of the hall. The nuisance was finally done away with thanks to Mr. Henry Allan Price, who dashed down stairs and drove the offender off. BESIDES Mr.

Price, there were several men in the gatheringa rather unusual state of things for a morning affair. General Horatio C. King was among them. Some of the others there were Mrs. Henry I.

Judson, a singer herself and a musical enthusiast in general; Mrs. John Hanway, Miss Mar-jorie Prentiss, Miss Hinchman, Miss Euphemia Blunt, Mrs. Henry H. Bergen, Mrs. Robert Wilder Bush, Mrs.

Ludwig Nicolovius, Miss Clara Nicolovius, Mrs. Frank Day Tuttle, Mrs. Edward Warner Allen, Mrs. E. Dwight Church, junior, Mrs.

SINCE the production last season of "Alice in Wonderland," the joint work of Miss Rebecca Lane Hooper and Miss Mabel Daniels, the former has rewritten the libretto and the latter has made many changes in the music, so that the play, which is to be given for the benefit of the Ridgewood Household Club at the Columbia Theater on the nineteenth and twentieth of next month, will be both shorter and better. The chorus is being recruited from the six schools affiliated with the Ridgewood Household Club and rehearsals are being held at Adelphi College. Among those from the different schools who are working for the affair are: Adelphi Alumnae, Miss Alice Christensen, Miss S. Edith Wilkinson, Miss Beulah Munson, Miss Elizabeth Hall, Miss Ethel Hall, Miss Jennie Pfeiffer, Miss Margaret Johnson, Miss Josephine Birdsall, Miss Harriette Warren, Miss E. May Martin, Miss Adeline Rhodes, Miss Marguerite Entwistle, Miss Florence Lockwood teachers of Public School No.

MISS HOOPER'S other opera, "The Court of Hearts," is. also to be revived in the near future. This is to be given for the benefit of the Brooklyn Free Kindergarten Society at the Broadway Theater on Wednesday afternoon, May twenty-fourth, and the following Thursday evening. Besides Miss Hooper herself the executive committee is composed of Rev. James Clarence Jones, Miss Elizabeth Reeve, Miss A.

E. Harvey, Mr. Darwin R. James, junior, and Miss S. Edith Wilkinson.

The affair will doubtless be quite a society event, as a very long and representative patroness list is being prepared. Nearly all the girls in the chorus being from the Park Slope the rehearsals, which are held on Thursdays, take place at the Berkeley Institute. EASTER week always brings an influx of cards for all sorts and kinds of entertainments for charitable ends. A forthcoming affair on Tuesday afternoon and evening of next week which promises to have some novel features about it is the Japanese tea for which cards have been issued by the members of the George I. Seney Florence Nightingale Society.

This is to take place at 106 First place and will be for the benefit of the Methodist Episcopal Hospital. OWING to the death of the bride's stepfather the wedding of Miss Marie J. Dusenberry, daughter of Mrs. Amos H. Cropsey, of East Nineteenth street, and Mr.
