MARY HOWE AT CHICAGO.

Mary Howe sang in Chicago last Satur-
day evening, and her reception there
proved that she has added another city to
her list of conquests. \ private letter

ears were thoroughly satisfied At the
conclusion of the song Uhe Bell song
from 'Lakme) she was given a genuine
ovation, and her arms were more than filled
with bouquets. She was repeatedly re-
called, and won the greatest triumph of
any singer in the series of concerts. Her

friends. We have many acauaintances
among the musicians here, and we have
told them for five years that Mary Howe
was the coming singer. At the conclusion
of the concert we saw several of them and
they were as enthusiastic as we could de-
sire. Al the close of the concert a recep-
ton was given her, and her pleasant, cor
dial greetings convinced every one that sue
cess had not spoiled her"
Mr. Frank p. Wheeler of Chicago also
writes of the warm reception accorded Miss
Howe, and mentions many kind attentions
paid her by prominent Chicago people for
merly resident in Brattleboro or vicinity.
Mr.. Wheeler also aludes to the warm
praise given Miss Howe's voice by promi-
nent musicians of the city.

BRATTLEBORO.

The most liberal clubbing arrangement
ever offered by a Vermont newspaper is
that which is announced on our seventh
page today, being The Phoenix, the House
hold and the Albany Weekly Journal each
one year for only 1925. The combined
single cost of these papers is 50. go. The
Household is too well known to need mem
ton, and has never been more valuable and
attractive than under its present manage
ment. The Albany journal is a large
quarto, filled with fresh news and miscella-
neous reading. In politics it is stanchly
Republican, and none of the weekly papers
on our clubbing list offers better value for
It's cost. We shall be glad to send sample
copies to any who ask for them.

in Dirty Mulberry street.

in Dirty Mulberry street.
Mulberry street is not exactly a
picturesque locality. according to the
New York sun. One would scarcely
select its squalor as the birthplace of
romance or the inspiration OF poetry.
Yet one of its tall forbidding old ten
ements has been selected by myster-
ious destiny as the environment of as
fair an idyl as ever the days of ro-
nance knew of knightly searcher for
the Grail of penitent pilgrim to the
holy land. There is nothing to distin-
guish this house from its less honored
comrades so far as externals are con-
cerned. The entrance is as mean an
uniuviting. the halls as dark and dirty,
narrowing to apparent solidity in the
dusky extremities.
The little suit of apartments contain
three rooms. n parlor with windows
opening 10 the light kitchen facing
the air shaft, where, when your eyes
get accustomed to the darkness, you
can in the very middle OF the day dis
tinguish a nail in the wall and an
inner room where there is no light ut
all II you open the dirty doors you
will see scenes of squalor. wretched-
ness, misery and most appalling dirt.
Right in the midst OF all these is 4
door precisely like all the others. save
that it is freshly painted and clean,
opening into one of the little parlors
where bright rugs and soft carpets
cover the hoor; the daylight streams in
gayly through the polished window
panes over exquisite pictures; repro-
ductions of rare old masters hang
against neatly papered walls. In one
corner is a cabinet crowded with beau
tiful china
Everywhere an air of most cultured
refinement pervades the room. Out of
this room. which is parlor and Office
and bedroom, opens the little dining
room, with its dainty table service,
and then the kitchen, with all its
convenient appurtenances.
And here two young college women,
physicians, have founded the little
home, and hope to establish practice
among the poor people of the neigh
borhood.
Their remuneration Whatever the
people can pay, from one dollar u
visit down. Their purpose? Simply
to put into actual practice little bit
of the doctrine that was delivered on
the Mount nearly ?, 600 years ago.
Their names? All! that is their
