Partial Main Floor
collected Eveyh IL furnish homeco

something quite new in the shape of
folding waste-baskets and hat-boxes.
After o'clock a salad and chatting dish
supper will be served in the main hall
and ante-rooru. The many friends of
the department who have, so generous
| ly patroaized the form& sales, it is
hoped, will visit Memorial hall Tues

After many negotiations, Maurice
Grau and Manager Wendelscheefer OF
the Worcester theatre have arranged
for one performance of III Barbiere di
Siviglia" 1t will be given in the Wor-
| cester theatre on the night of the 18th,
and will undoubtedly be the biggest
event of its kind Worcester has known
in many years. For, beside Nine. Sem
brich, who will appear in her most sue
| cessful role, that OF Rosina, the cast
| will include Mile. Bauermeister as Ber-
/ tina, Signor Campanari as Figaro; IL.
Herman Devries, Basilio; Signor PM
Corsi; Bartolo; Signor Vanni, Sargente;
NJ. Mieux, Fiorello, and NJ. Salignac,
! Conte d'Almaviva. The opera will be
| sung in Italian.
In every respect, the opera will be
given precisely as at the Metropolitan
opera house in New York. The cast
is absolutely unchanged, and the seen
| cry will be sent on m it's entirety. The
! production will be the same in respect
to chorus and orchestra, and Signor
Mancinelli will conduct.
! This is an extraordinary chance for
| Worcester. Did the entertainment con-
sist only of Campanari's singing of
Figaro CT, Figaro Ia" it would be
| worth the price Of admission. Nine.
I Sembrichs Rosina is famed through
| Europe and America as one Of the most
! brilliant and alluring operate repre-
sensations on the stage. Incompatible
| coloratura singer that she is, in Rosina
| her matchless art as a singer of ford
| music will be revealed in a manner that
was, Of course, impossible at the fes-
| tival.
| These are the days when the fu-
| neral-baked meats do coldly set forth
! the marriage tables Our Thanksgiv-
| ing turkey is still with us; he declines
| to go. Long after his legitimate func-
| ton is over, he persists and insists
After a series of dinners, breakfasts
and suppers off him, he preserves his
| structural integrity in a really dis
| couraging way, and so far as | can
! see, the other half of him is still in
| tact Familiarity breeds contempt
Better a humble hash and contentment
| Herewith than the stalled turkey, etc.
Following is the programfof the con-
cert which will be given under the di-
rection of Nine. Josephine L'Esperance

| OF course the women will take off

| dire. Not quite, unfortunately. People
draw distinction between entertain
ments to see and entertainments to
hear ard fancy that the headgear that
| is intolerable at the theatre is some
how permissible at concert The
pleasure of a good many people at the
! Kneisel concert is lessened because so
many women will wear their hats. It
may be ignoble, unmusical, what you
| like, to want to see the quartet, but
! ordinary people-and most of us are
| ordinary people-have sneaking de-
| sire to do it, at least once in a while.
| Wherever the floor is not inclined.

| Christian act to remove your hat

A great deal more might justly be
said of the Woman's exchange at the
Y. W. c. A. in the way of description
and advice, but it ought to be enough
