Hon. Stephen Salisbury has offered
the Worcester Woman's Club lot of
land for the site of its new club house,
provided a suitable building be erect
ed thereon. The lot is situated at the
corner of Salisbury and Tuckerman
streets, and embraces 1913 square feet.
The lot upon which stands the building
of the Society of Antiquity adjoine it.,
and just across the street stands the
beautiful new art museum.
This very generous and handsome
gift was made known to the club at
the meeting yesterday. Mrs. c. 9. Bald
win, chairman of the club house COM
mittee, took the floor and read let
ter from A. S. Lowell relative to the
unfinished floor in his building on Fos-
ter and Norwich streets, which the
Woman's Club has thought of engag-
ing.
Mrs. Baldwin followed this letter
with the following statW-nent:
1.-THE committee has been asked to
consider several sites for club house
to purchase houses, and examine prem
ises, to see if space in buildings could
be arranged to suit the needs of the
club, but all these are put in the back
ground by the fact that a generous
friend stands willing to give us beau
tiful lot of land. This rendered gift is
one of so much value and of such con-
sideration that we pass directly TO it..
II have to announce that, quite unex-
pectedly, Mr. Salisbury offers US lot
containing 1888 square feet of land.

est plane of club life. We must stand
shoulder to soulder to bear the burden
believing that the new cares will also
bring higher pleasures and richer ex-
periences. Are we ready as a club tc
do this?"
AT Mr.. Salisbury's suggestion, Steph-
en- Earle of Earle & Fisher, architects
was consulted and drew up some rough
plans of the building, showing the ad-
mirable way in~which the lot lent itself
to architectural purposes. Mr.. Earle
came in for few minutes and ex-
planned the plans of the various stories
and the facade. The new club house
would stand Is feet from the street.
The basement would be entered from
Salisbury street and would have beside
store rooms an ample diningroom. A
broad staircase would lead to the first
floor, where there would be an en-
trance on Tuekerman street. Here there
would be room sufficient to hold 25C
people, with committee rooms, ETC.,
while on the second floor there would
be a hall capable of seating 900 persons
with room for $50 more in the gallery,
and commodious stage.
The hall would be surrounded by
seven fine parlors, all connected. The
main entrance would be on Tuckerman
street, with a porte couchere, and a ter
race designed to bring the different
parts into harmony. A large balcony
might be used as an out door restau-
rant. The different stories are 10. II
and 80 feet high, and are planne1 to
be domestic in dimensions.
These plans are tentative, however
They may and probably will be altered
later. The firm of Earle & Fisher were
the architects of the art museum, and
a style Of architecture somewhat sim
liar to that has been followed i'll their
suggestion for the new club house.
Upon the motion of Mrs. Nathaniel
Paine, the club returned enthusiastic
thanks to Mr.. Salisbury for his gift,

board of the Woman's Club

WORTHY TRIBUTE.
President Of Boston Handel & Haydn
Society congratuIates Miss Ruby Cutter

President Of Boston Handel & Haydn
Society CongratuIates Miss Ruby Cutter
At the conclusion of the performance
of Gaurs Joan of Arc" at Music hall,
Boston, Tuesday evening, the president
of the Handel and Haydn society
came forward and heartily congratu-
lated Miss Ruby Cutter, who sustained
the title role, upon her singing.
Miss Cutter had been honored with
four recalls upon her singing in the first
part of the program of Arditls "When
the southern roses bloom"
Alfred r. Frank, the basso of the
Old South choir for the current year, is
among the best prepared singers IN the
country, having studied four years with
William Whitney, then one year with
Vanuchini in Florence, and, returning
to America, coached year with Myron
w. Whitney.
The Old South organ was on a strike
during a portion of the morning and
evening services last Sunday.
When Miss Cutter, the soprano, was
in the midst of a difficult solo passage
in the evening service, the organ sud
denly became silent, and so remained
for more than a dozen measures, while
the singer sang straight on without any
wavering or apparent trepldatlon, ano
when the organ, so to say, mad gotten
its second wind, singer and organ were
in perfect accord. When asked how she
/ felt when her supporting accompani-
ment dropped out, she said, why, JUS
! for an instant I wondered whether we
would be together when 1t came or
again"
