the scenery and costumes are ready, and
they probably will be- The produc-
ton will be expensive, for much of the
stage setting had to be made for the
occasion and the costuming will cost
bit of money. However, if it is to
be done at all, it must be well done, and
the plans made are most elaborate. 1t
is probable that seats will be put on
sale the first Of next week, though there
has been some suggestion Of auction
ing them. 1t is likely that the usual
method will prevail. The cast for "a

Great secrecy has been observed by
those having in charge the details of
the german to be given by the German
club at Lifts hall Monday evening.
1t is rumored, however, that the orig
inal date set was Jan. "a, the anniver-
sary of the birth Of Robot Burns, the

Circumstances necessitated changing
the date from Friday evening to Mon
day, but the pretty Scotch details ar
ranged will be carried out as originally

pared some new and pretty figures of

The reception given by Mrs. R. M.
Newport to the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution at her home on Sum-
nit avenue Thursday afternoon was
the largest social function Of last week.

cordial, always kind, and her work
among the Daughters of the Revolu-
ton has been most jealous and ele-
waiting, all of which helped to make
such an event as the one of Thursday
unusually successful. The rooms were
decked with the American flag, SO dear
to the hearts Of these women, and the
fragrance Of roses was everywhere

library by Mrs. Lieut.. Butler, of Fort
