SACRED HEART CONCERT.
Delightful Entertainment by the
 Pupils of the Academy.

The annual concert given by the Sacred Heart academy at the Patton Grand last night was by far the most successful event yet presented by that school, and it attracted probably a larger crowd than has ever been as sembIsd at an amateur entertainment in this city. The academy is making great progress in its entertainment work, and deserves reorganization. The programme was necessarily long, but the rendition showed with what care it had been prepared. There was liberal applause and frequent encoring even toward the last numbers.
 The opening chorus, "Elfn Call. ' was calculated to pace the entertain ment in good favor with the crowd. There were many pretty costumes on the stage and equally pretty faces, but probably the musical portion of the programme afforded as great pleasure as anything in the pro- gramme. The recitation of Erin" was fully appreciated. It was written by Rev. E. O'GrCwney, the famous Celtic scholar. The entertainment cCnc.uded with two pleasing dramas. The programme was as follows:

MY mother has a number of old

This is a growing country. and its
development is nowhere more clearly
demonstrated than in the steady eS-
pansion of its art interests and in the
fact that the portrait painters are
growing rich. A few years ago the

profession lived under a compulsory
vow of poverty, simply because there
was NO money and mighty little fame

Lace Is the Thing.

Lace has scored another triumph and
stands pre-eminent at the head of all
the trimmings for the year. Whole
robes of Renaissance guipure, cluny
and Russian weave are quite as mod
ish as they were six months ago, and
some of these heavy laces are inter
woven with a heavy gold or silver
cord that either runs over the lace in a
superimposed design of its own or is
part and parcel of the lace pattern it

words can say how richly brilliant it's
