Darning Rents in Clothes.

Very frequently little boys clothes
get sadly torn, and the inexperienced
mother does not know how to repair
the mischief without making the gar
ment unsightly. If rawlings of the
goods are to be had, even a very bad
rent can be made almost invisible. But
if silk must be used, have it fine and the
color of the goods. and you will need
fine needle. If the tear is ragged, put
a bit of the goods under ii, or of some
other goods the same shade. Basic the
goods around the rent so as to hold the
edges smoothly; thread your needle with
the silk, and put The knot on the under
side. Commence at least e-fourth
of an inch back. and run your needle
with the smallest stitches to the same
depth on the other side. taking care to
keep the thread entirely out of sight.
Now 60 back again. and so on, forward
and back. until the rent is closed.
taking care not to draw or expose the
thread. Now dampen the work, slip
press-board under if, and lay piece of
cloth the color of the goods over it, and
press with a warm iron. A press
board is one of the necessaries for the
mother who makes her boys clothes.

TO number of representations were LA
Favorita," "Lohengrin," Linda di Cha
nounin," Rigoletto," Papa Martini
Romeo Glulietta," and "Traviata.n
"Rgoletto" being the most popular of all.
Saint Saens' opera, announced under the
title Of "Ascanio," has now been named
"Benvenuto." The hbretto is taken by
Gallet from Paol Neurice's drama. 1t com
prises seven tableaux. but the famous scene
Of the casting of the statue is emitted. In
the two-act opera by BerlioK. "Bevenuto
Cellini," the incident OF an artist being
forced through scarcity Of metal to fling his
masterpieces Of gold and silver work into
the furnace forms striking feature.
There is. however, another "BeRvcnuto" IN
che field, and its authors, Messrs ID iaz and
CASTOR Hirsch, claim the title as theirs.
This "Bepvenuto" is not based on the
drama Of Paol Meurice, in which Melngue
E7s so admirable, but on an entirely
Imaginary story. 1t is possible that finally
the work of Submissions will be called
"Hebo" or Colombo" So far the roles
assigned as follows: Benvenuto. Lassalle;
Ascanic, Jean de Reszke; Scozonnc, Miss
Richard; Colombo, Mrs. Bosnian; and
probably the Duchesse d'Etanpes will be
given to Mrs. Escalais--S. y Musical
