OUT AND ABOUT.

Il don't know but that am narrow
minded" said one of the Willing
Workers yesterday, but I could not
help feeling bad the other afternoon 1t
was Thursday, and sixteen of US poor
discouraged women had spent the af-
ternoon in Mr.. Hanson's basement,
talking over the state Of affairs at the
Greendale orphanage and the details OF
the cantata, 1.-THE Enchanted torest
that we are going to give in It's interest
AS we came out from the meeting, the
Woman's club lecture was just out,
and the ladies were streaming out Oh
the Y. NJ c. A. building, two or three
hundred of them. They had passed the
afternoon listening to lecture on
aesthetics, while we had been devising
means to put food in the mouths of 20
little children. and coal in the CRATE
mattresses on their beds and clothing
on their backs! I felt like running
over and asking them to save little
time from their culture and intellectual
pleasures to help us, but of course l
didn't"
AT the next meeting of the Friday
Morning club, on Nov. 49, the study OF
Haendel will be continued. The first
part of the program will be occupied
with a paper by Mrs. S. b. Woodward
on the oratorio, illustrated with num-
bers from the less known of Haendef
oratorios such as Judas Joshua
and samson" sung by the vocalists
of the club. The vivace from the
concerto crosse will be played by eight
hands, and the musicale will conclude
with the hallelujah chorus from the
Messiah" played by eight hands.
The elegiac trio of Tschaikowsky'
that is to be played by the Adamowski
trio at its concert under the auspices of
the Friday Morning club, Dec. 4, is,
aside from being one OF the noblest
works of the composer, an interesting
number. 1t has been heard only twice
in Boston: once when Silotti, the Rus
sian pianist, brought it out, and another
time, when Carl Baerman, with Loen-
Ter, as violinist, gave 1t.
The trio was twice in Worcester last
season, and both times by the Friday
Morning club. 1t was first played in
the course of the clubs study of Tschai-
kowsky, and afterwards repeated at the
public musicale of the club. 1t is un-
known whom the composer had IN nina
when he wrote it. Some have thought
others that it was intended for the
Russian court cello player.

citation held its annual meeting yester-

, The College club held tea yesterday

Miss Inman hostesses.
1t is not often that a church so en-
dears itself to persons not Of its COM
munion that they give fair in its hon
or, but Bethany church is an exception
to the rule. Last night the people who
live in It's neighborhood gave sale and
supper for the benefit of the church,
and both were literally patronized.
Between the hours of { and 10 the
house Of George M. Wright, where they
were held, was so crowded that II was
almost impossible to open the front
door either in or out.
Mrs. Lafayette Robins was the chair
man of the sale. The tables, which were
very prettily decorated, were as fol-
lows: Candy pink and white, with
ferns, in charge Of Miss Florence Bish-
op, Miss Eleanor Henderson and Miss
Amelia Darling; mystery, red and
white, Mrs M i. Davis; domestic,
