 Among the many recitals and musi- cales of the season the recital to be given this evening in Warner hall by Miss Fanny Fern Falk stands out as especially brilliant and interesting. That the affair will be artistic in every sense is assured. Miss Falk is an Emerson girl and the Boston Times says of her: Miss Falk has very at tractive personality, and her work shows marked intelligence. An Albany girl, her natural gift of elocution sug- gested the stage to her Miss Falk's S method of acting Is easy and at the same time forceful, with remarkable depth of dramatic force and expression. She has appeared with the Boston Ly- ceum company and with one of Palm orS. yt,hiI To p,ly in the opera of Priscilla" is still re- membered.

 In the Lenten lectures and talks it is generally conceded that nothing, how ever excellent, which has occurred can compare with the coming Madonna ex- hibition. It will appeal in a manner nothing else has, which, in view of the fact that it comes in the very midst of the holy season of Lent. when the voice of revelry is hushed, it is most fitting above all else to turn and look on pie lures of the very early days of Christ's childhood which the greatest masters of painting in all ages have imagined and painted.
 Every one should see the production as an object lesson in artistic realiza- tion of a purely religious theme. The detils of technique are not to be ig- nored The care and scholarship that are being expended in the arrangement and cataloguing of the engravings make the whole a really valuable and historical study. Art lovers will surely have their hopes realized More than local interest is manifested. There will be visitors from Wallingford, Bristol. Ansonia, Waterbury, Hartford and neighboring towns.
 Many other interesting representa- tives of the sacred subject will be shown, such as rosaries, medallions and various church ornaments. The asso- citation especially wishes to interest the students and townsmen. It was with this object in view that the hours of the exhibition were extended until 10 p. m. There is a great hope that the men folk will be in attendance Tea and bouillon will be served during the day.
