One of the foremost reasons why
the Castle Square Opera company al
ways carries a superb chorus is the
school for chorus men and women
established by Henry w. Savage, man
ager of the organization. 1t has al
ways been his delight to have the
chorus numbers sung as well as the
solos. and the establishment of this
branch has been one of the principal
features of all the Castle Square at
fractions in the past and will con-
tinue to be in the future. Young men
and women from all parts of the
country aIfd in all walks of life found
encouragement and success in this
school and many who have won sue
cess in a few short years have to give
Mr.. Savage the credit of the training
that has placed them among the fore
most light opera singers of today.
His chorus is treated with the same
kindness that is extended to all the
members of his companies and they
all speak in the highest terms of the
man who so generously gave them
their first start on the road to must
cal success. The chorus in king
Dodo," which comes TO the Illinois
Wednesday,. Feb. 25, is reported to be
really remarkable one.

He pelted the guests with roses and
orchids. He pretended that he was a
dog. and galloped about on all fours
with a cloak in his mouth. He uttered
bon mots readily.
One OF his bon mots is here pre-
served. II seems that Mr. Lehr did
not see the wedding ceremony per
formed; at the time he was in the con-
servatoTy of the Nelson cottage. When
all was over. a young man hurried
into the conservatory and said:

over the trousers He feared that when
the garment was enlarged the old
seams would show.
Searles went up the following week,

Long advised his customer to allow
him to send the garment around the
corner to a dyer, who would make the
entire garment one shade darker and
so conceal the streaks.

said Take EN-" The tailor followed

Could Not Retain life.

After having been pronounced dead
by the local physician, well-known
lady, who with her family had long
resided in the village OF Woore, North
Staffordshire, was recently laid ready
for interment All preparations for
the funeral had been made and friends
and relatives assembled TO take final
farewell. AS the mourners watched,
the eyes of the lady were seen to open
and her lips to move. Life had re-
turned to the supposed corpse. The
news OF the strange event spread
throughout the village and district and
produced the greatest excitement. To
the grief OF all, however, there came
relapse, and life was declared to be
definitely extinct
