A New York gossip says that Mrs. DEL

mand anything her fancy dictates. A home
by the sea in summer, with steam yacht
as an accessory, makes even hot weather en-
Joyable, and for one who likes the swirl OF
society the coolest winter is welcomed with
open hands She be a stanch New Yorker

The Western Addition Club Entertain
ment.
AS the President, Mr.. George A. Mullin,
remarked in a brief address last evening
the Western Addition Club has become
rather popular" which sufficiently accounts
for the uniformly large attendance at its
entertainments. Odd Fellows Hall was
crowded again last night.
For the last seven years since its reorgani-
Zation the increasing care bestowed upon
the arrangement of the monthly programmes
has, doubtless, borne fruit, and the audience
is now confident of being well entertained
On this occasion an attractive ''biil OF fare"
was provided
Uucompromising encores are sometimes
apt to become wearisome, but in the case of
Miss Aud last night it appeared that no re-
fusal would be accepted. Three times this
gifted vocalist was summoned upon the
stage before her hearers were stated. Be
sides two favorite selections, she eyinced a
new and remarkable proficiency in operatic
music, handling select d aria from 'Lu-
creZla Borgla" with singular purity OF style
As usual, she was brilliantly supported by
her young acc0mpanist.
Miss \. Place made hit with her Rus
sian Christmas, enunciation being clear
and gesture apt If rather studied. In her
encore both action and elocution were pleas
antIy spontaneous. Mr.. Blacks cornet
solos, accompanied by Mr.. Dellepiane, were
generally applauded.
An amusing farce, entitled THE Tale of
w
four characters succeeded in arresting and
maintaining the attention of the crowded
house without any apparent effort. Miss
Louise Cosgro as Matty an independent
American hired girl IN Europe, provoked
unlimited mirtb, IN which task she was ably
assisted by Mr.. VIII G. Meagher as Simon
Snapshot, an ardent sportsman and Mr. c.
Dung, as lexington Corker, retired and
somewhat deaf wine-merchant. Miss Bes-
sic Owens had the only truly sane role aud
enacted it very pleasngly. Dancing was
afterward enjoyed to.the music of Brandt'S
Orchestra.
