FRANCES HUGHES CONCERT.
A Rich Musical Feast at the Metropoli-
tan Last Night

A Rich Musical Feast at the Metropoli-
tan Last Night.
The glad song of a bird at dawn,
breaking the silence only to lull the
senses back to dreams; the tinkle of rain
drops in spring, or the laughter of Il
mountain waterfall; the dull deep pain
that comes from memories born of fire.
light shadows; the plant of souls wasted
with signing; sudden songs of joy from
the open gates of paradise-these and
more than one could feel and hear at
ting Metropolitan Opera House last
night.
1t was music, music rare and sweet,
made by a company of artists, who
knew no better than to sing and play in
simple old-fashioned style, throwing
their whole hearts into the notes.
There was no pounding of pianos, loud
thruming of harps or squeaking of vio-
Inns; no singing in voice that zigzags
and tapers like a corkscrew. But just
good, honest singing and playing and
making of music. And such music!
There were songs that filed you with a
deliciously overwhelming melancholy,
and made you recall a thousand in
stances in which you'd made fool of
violin, harp and piano-that sent men,
cries of by-gone days coursing through
your brain.
1t was all very beautiful-that concert
by the Frances Hughes Company--and
there is no use particularizing. Then it
would grow tame. Every member of the
troupe is an artist and the whole per-
Torrance makes one musical gem that if
broken into fragments, would lose much
of its beauty and value.
Miss Testers singing-could anything
have been finer? Miss Hughes harp
playing and Miss Appy's cello playing,
and Mr.. Wade's splendid voice, were
all greeted with applause and most en-
Enthusiastically encored.
For this musical treat we have the
ladies of the First Presbyterian Church
to thank.

MODELS OF BEAUTY.
Rich and Rare Holiday Show Window
hrH Displays.

The American beauty and the Eng
lish beauty may be seen in fencing cos
tune and posture in the beautiful show
windows of Sherwood Higgs and Com
pany. These are perfect wax figures
modelled from nature. One an Ameri-
can girl, the other an English girl, each
most gorge0usly costumed in the rich
est colors of her native country. They
are as beautiful as the most delicate
touches of art can make them, and are
indeed living pictures of rarest loveii-
ness. Each wears a magnificent K. and
G. corset and they are there to show the
absolute perfection attained by the X.
and G Corset Company in the fit and
finish of their famous corsets. These
two figures stand in the midst of a
dozen other delightful models all sur
rounded with a snow white display of the
daintiest handkerchiefs and laces, with
little birds perched here and there, max
ing one of the loveliest window scenes
that has ever been arranged here. At
night half a dozen incandescent electric
lights lend their brilliancy to the scene
Crowds stand about it day and night
anu every Douy JOCKS OH III Wlln interest,"
and pleasure. This handsome and cost
ly exhibit was secured by Mr.. Higgs
through the courtesy of the II. and G.
Corset Company, of New York, and as
a counterpart Of the r. and G. Corset
exhibit which took the first prize at the
Worlds Fair at Chicago. The window
has to be seen to be appreciated and
the people of Raleigh who have seen it
only appreciate the enterprise and good
taste manifested by this popular firm in
the arrangement of this truly interest
ing and splendid display.

How he Became a Cxnio


Some lovable traits of character ID
Prosper Merlmee, the famous French
novelist, who has left to posterity the
reputation of a misanthrope and q
cynic, are revealed in the pages of Au-
gustus Filon's "Merimee and Hn
Friends"
Monsieur Filon tells us how this cele.
brated author devoted 100 louis of bis
salary as Senator toward pensionins
an old project of Louis Philippe, who
had been ruined by the revolution 81
1S4o, and how, for twenty years, he al
sisted and protected an humble sculp.
tor in whom he had become interested.
Monsieur Filon relates an incident 81
Merimee's childhood that shows hon
susceptible his nature was to stron3
Impressions, and how responsible older
people, and particularly parents, an
for the development of certain traits n
children.
When the future novelist was fye
years Of age he was once punished b
his mother for some naughtiness q
which he was guilty. Madam Merlin seI
who was an artist, and who was at che
time engaged at her easel, put the cut
prit out Of the room, and closed The
door upon him.
The little Prosper, already penltent
anxious, besought forgiveness througn
the closed door, expressing great cor
triton and promising good behavior
but the door remained lnexorably shut
Finally, after much effort, he opened II
and dragged himself upon his knee
toward his mother. His piteous SUP
plications and his pathetic attitude g
amused Madame Merlmee that she "
gan to laugh.
Instantly rising from his lowly pos
ture he exclaimed Indignantly, "Sinea
you mock me, l will never ask pardon
again." He kept his word. Thus wa
sown the seed of a certain synlcal pns'
losophy that tainted his after life.
