THANKSGIVING DECORATIONS.
The Dinner Table May Be Made Pretty
With Fruits and Il
IL -:

A charming center-piece seen last year
was a. mound, Of fruit arranged on a small
silver tray that, resting on silver feet,
was elevated; an inch or more from the
cloth. A wreath of autumn leaves en-
circled the tray, and the fruit was artjs-
tically arranged, with the leaves and
dropping wisps Of bearded grain. a rus
tic basket Of any sort or an Indian canoe,
is pretty holder for the center
piece Of fruit. A large horn Of plenty
is frequently used; or smaller ones ar
ranged at the corners Of the table with
flowers and fruit filing them. I The
Thanksgiving table, 3asa a rule. is apt ito
be very hospitable board and. Of gener-
Gus length which will absorb good deal
of decoration One effective design had
the center-piece Of fruit and at either
end of the table assheaf fof wheat nearly
two feet high. with "a cluster Of rich
American Beauty roses rising out Of the
center OF each sheaf. On a smaller table
this decoration may be used9a1one as CEN
terpiece. The combination Of the hot
house and modern flower with the wheat
representing the. very necessity Of life
seems little incongruous in suggestion.

THE MACONDA CONCERT

A large audience greeted Nine. Char
lotte Maconda at the First Baptist church
last evening at the first of the series of
entertainments given by the Teachers
Club this season. 1t was an audience
which "enthused' slowly, and the program
was somewhat we'll advanced before that
sympathetic responsiveness which enables
an artist to do her best work was in evi
dence. The program was delightful one
giving. Nine. Maconda ample opportunity
to display her gifts and it's somewhat un-
fortunate arrangement was remedied by
the singer as it was rendered.. -
It is a little difficult to charac acterize
Nine Maconda's singing last evening sat
isfactorily. Her voice is large and of un-
usual range, and especially clear, sweet
effective and remarkably true to pitch in
the upper register. 1t is of pure soprano
quality, but does not seem to possess that
| sympathetic timbre which enables its pos
SCISSOR to sing to the heart. 1t is doubtful
whether any better technique has been
displayed in Minneapolis in recent years
than was displayed by the singer last eve
ming. Her more f1orid numbers. SUCH as
the aria from David's pearl of Brazil
and the e!polonalse from Thomas "Mignonr
were almost startling in their perfection
The highest tones in the latter, that have
b1rthright. were taken with a clearness
and finish that was exquisite. Delibe's
Maids OF Cadiz.' sung here by Nordica,
Blauvelt and Clara Williams, was rem
dered with fine EFFECT. On the contrary.
the songs which were in middle voice and
required clearness Of enunciat ation and good
expression to be effective were less sue
cessful. Among these were the familiar
"Berceuse' from GODDARD s. "Jocelyn," I"
Foote's Irish Folk Song" and Grieg's
''solvegslied.' - It often happened that
Nine. Maconda sang better toward the end
of a number than at the beginning. Schu-
mann's "Nussbaum,' the memory, Of Sem
brich's rendition of which yet fingers
gratefully in the mind, was far from satis-
factory. Lehmanns "You and T. was
cha rnningly sung and greatly appreciated.
| Will le the familiar ballad Twas April -
by Neyin, which formed the closing en-
core did not add to the effectiveness of
the program.
Altogether, judging by last nights con-
cert. Nine. Maconda may be said to be a
singer, who appeals to the intellect and
understanding rather than to the heart.
The. recent death Of her sister, however,
may have accounted in no small degree for
that apparent result and it was. little
short OF heroism which nerved her to the
ordeal Personally She has a. charming
manner and appearance, which make it an
added delight to see, and hear her.
Mr.. Ober-Hoffer was not as satisfactory
an accompanist as he is wont to be, and
the lack, Of sympathy between the singer
and her accompanist was often quite ap-
parent. - -Boardman

If one has access to country fields in
November, the glowing red berries and
