THE THEATRES.

The Bostonians will visit Worcester
again tonight to sing Victor Herbert's
tuneful opera, THE Serenade." The
opera will be put on at the Worcester
Theatre. and it is safe to say that seats
will be at a premium long before the
curtain rises, such is the drawing pow
er of this well-known organization.
The opera deals with the firtations
of one Alvarado a dashing baritone of
the Royal Opera, and Dolores, ward of
Jealous hidalgo. In order to escape
the attentions of the baritone, the
watchful lord takes Dolores to his cas-
tie in the mountain, but the baritone,
disguised as a position, goes with
them. Besieged by brigands in the
castle, the duke, unwittingly, flarbors
his rival in his own house. Other comic
incidents come about through Romero.

stage-struck tailor and a broken down
tenor, who, Warbling the detested sere-

the grounds of a monastery and an ad-
joining convent, and Alvarado, who
has found refuge in the former, learns.

smart Tea towns

1t seems a pity that so charming a
garment as the tea gown should not
De worn to a greater extent, but the
dlshabille effect which is essential to
Its perfection rerforce ~relegates it to
assemblages where only m are
present, and its field of usefulness is,
therefore, very limited. For the bust
ness woman, however, when her days
work is done, nothing more delightful
can be imagined, and her wardrobe US
ually includes one CT these gowns.
Now and then she even wears it when
entertaining informally a male friend,
although he must, of course, be quite
an intimate friend of the family to per-
NIT her to do so.
One of these gowns is so charming
that it's owner may be forgiven if she
does invent excuses that make it i'm
perative for her to don the garment.
1t is made of pale pink basket cloth,
with a double vatican plat falling
from the neck to the short train. The
front is open and reveals the full vest
of deep coral lawn, slashed with two
rows of yellow lace insertion above the
waist line. A full, accordion plated
1ounce of the same lawn, edged with
lace, falls over the shoulders and is

The Fashionable C%oifTurc.

The only fashionable coiffure OF the
moment is that in which the hair is
arranged so as to fairly frame the face,
a pompadour effect at the sides and on
top being given by waving the hair
and drawing in softly back. Fortu-
nately this style is becoming to almost
any one. for there are all sorts OF mod
iications that can be made TO suit the
particular type of face. The old-time
pompadour hat was stiff and ugly is
not seen. If the forehead is very high
the f~ullness of the hair is pulled for
ward a little and d tiny curl or two
on each temple are allowed.
While for most occasions the figure
eight and soft puffs placed at graceful
angle are still the favorite styles, many
smart women are TO be seen with a
regular chignon worn quite low at the
back of the head and covered with a
net. This is a very untidy fashion,
and it is earnestly to be hoped it will
not become popular. For evening the
hair is dressed high on the head, ar
ranged in a soft full knob CT puffs;
braids are not considered in good form
for an evening couture. A pretty but
trying style is the Lucien, so called.
which consists of the hair being waved
over the head. Just at the crown of the
head is a small knob from which stand
out two minute curls. This style at its
worst has been seen and been tabooed;
at its best it is charming.

William Morgan, an Indiana farmer.
has a hen which lays an egg within ar
egg. She has been producing this kind
of hen fruit for several days and one
of the eggs is on exhibition at the
Doxey house in Anderson. The egg
looks like an ordinary hen egg. When
broken open the usual white and yell
low are found in proper proportions,
but in the center of the yolk is a sec
ond egg about the size of a robins
egg! Its shell is perfectly formed and
is hard. The inner egg does not con-
tain any white. The hen is an ordinary
looking c%ritter.
Henry Etchison, who also resides
zeal Anderson, has five bushels OF
freak corn which has ripened early
and is already gathered in. The ear
looks like any common ear of corn and
is properly silked. When the husks are
drawn back, however, it is found that
every grain is enveloped in a separate
husk of it's own, and has its silk. When
the first husk around the grain is re-
moved a second one is found also with
proper silks, and under it is the fine
round grain of white corn. Etchisor
saws the seed came from Russia. He
does not know how to use it. 1t woult
probably have to be shelled and then
famed.

underwear As 1t Is Worn.

II IS said that in a woman's under
clothing and house gowns is her true
refinement shown, and W. more at
tention is now given to those garments
than to the outside show of her gowns.
The fashionable woman Of today wears
as few undergarments as possible,
wishing to cucumber and conceal the
lines Of her figure no more~+haA- is
necessary. A light wool or silk under
shirt. a pair of fine cambria Knockers,
a chemise that is long enoigh to an
swer. when trimmed with tucks and
embroidery; for a short skirt, are all
that is worn beneath the corset. Then
comes the corset. rather short if the
wearcr be stout, and an empire for q
slim person. The corset cover has been
altogether discarded. In lieu of it, the
chemise is often made with an over
hanging point front and back, which
cover the corset. Over the corset and
chem!se is worn a silk or alpaca petit
coat and the uDdergarments are COM
plete.
The daintiest and freshest morning
gowns, especially when intended for a

with delicate ribbons Of satin and lace.

that title.
On one occasion the colonel employed
q lawyer to attend a trifing matter for
him and promised a speedy settlement
OF the account. Time went by and the
colonel failed to keep his word. The
lawyer stirred the colonel up about it
the next time he saw him in town, and
the upshot Of it was that the colonel
agreed to send the lawyer a dozen bush
els of the finest apples in Ohio. But no
apples came to the lawyer. One day he

The Worm Turned.


An illinois farmer came to Chicago
hot long ago with a shipment of sheep
that looked like they had done nothing
all their lives but run frem dogs. After
loafing around nearly a week he per-
suaded a buyer to take them off his
hands at a price a trife over the
freight charges. +.
"Pity they aren't blackfaced," said
the buyer. "The blackfaced breed al
ways command a premium; seems tc
dress out nicer"
The farmer did some lightning ca!cu-
lating and then said he would come up
In a week with just what was wanted.
He kept his word and arrived here on
Saturday. He hunted up his buyer, q
nan named Edwards, and showed his
forty blackfaced sheep and a lot Of the
ordinary run. The blackfaced brought
about a quarter Of a cent a pound more
than the market called for. Later in
the day Edwards found a purchaser for
his blackfaced stock.
Il never saw a blackfsced sheep with
spots of white under his eyes and
streaks around the nose" said the pros
pective taker. =.
Edwards had not noticed the white
spots before. He went into the pen,
caught one of the animals, and when
he rubbed his hand over its face tho
black peeled off. Edwards is now ours
ing the cold irony OF fate, while the
farmer is no doubt mixing a new LOT
of black paint for whitefaced sheep

Found Her Needle.

Twelve years ago a woman resident
Of North Tonawanda, n. Y, ran a nee
die into one of her toes. A small
piece Of steel broke off. 1t was V
extracted. Some time afterward she
became a s~emi-invalid. Her mind as
well as her body suffered and she de-
veloped melancholia. Severe pains at
tackled her. They were particularly
extreme in her side. One day she dis
covered a small red blotch on her side.
1t was opened. A half-inch of discol-
ored puss-encrusted steel was found.
1t was the part of the needle which
over a decade ago had found entrance
to her body through the toe. From
the time of its removal the woman's
mental and physical vigor beganfto i'm
prove. She is today as we'll and vigor-
Il as al any time in her past life.

She Was Not Concerned.

Lately several ministers. in compar-
ing notes of their work, were telling Of
their i'll success in preaching personal
sermons-those which are supposed to
be general, but really are directed
against the known weaknesses of mem
bers of their congregations.
One of the clergymen, in illustration
of his position, told of an English
rector who thought his parioners were
getting so wicked that he must tell
them what would become of them If
they did not msnd their ways. He
preached a severe sermon on the eter-
nal fate of the wicked, and afterward
sought to improve" the lesson by per-
sonal admonition.
Meeting M day an old woman who
was noted for her gossiping DISPOSE
ton he said to her:
II hope my sermon has borne fruit
in your mind. You heard what | said
about that place where there shall be
wailing and crashing of teeth?"
well, as to that" answered the
dame, "if las anythink to say, it be
this-let them gnash their teeth as as

Japenese Sim plicity.

the perfect serenity and sweetness OF
expression of the Japanese women and
attributes it largely to their freedom
from care. The ~unchanging fashion OF
dress, the simplicity of their diet, the
absence of draperies and small orna-
ments in the houses, the practice Of
removing the shoes before entering the
house, SO that the dust of the street is
not brought in, make it possible to
maintain an exquisite cleanliness and
still! have the work of housekeeping
reduced to a minimum. We are hard
