Christmas day was pleasant and
observed in a quiet manner with per-
haps one or two exceptions in which
the Christmas Cheer was a little
too strong. Business generally was
suspended and most all Of our people
had good time at their own homes
and firesides, this being strictly al
domestic holiday. Services in some
of the Churches was held, at the
Church Of the Epiphany, Rev. G. g.
Kramer delivered a most interesting
sermon on the decadence Of Christian
gratitude. A most enjoyable and up
lifting choir service was given with
beautiful solo from our incompatible
solist, Mrs. Anna Grant Miller, en-
titled I'm old Judea where Christ was
born" The theme seemed to inspire
the singer, for it was generally con-
ceeded that her voice was never better
than on this occasion, Mrs. Leon
Dreyfus gave violin obligato in her
usual brilliant style.

The performances at the Vendome
Opera House last night entitled the
premier Mari Du France was q
keen disappointment to many. especi-
ally Of those who did not understand
French. Most of the tickets were
purchased under the impression that
some grand musical numbers would be
rendered by the magnificent voices Of
the Grand Opera, not q single
note was given but in its stead
French comedy Of most questional
morality was rendered. It may be
the taste Of a few Of the Partisan
French to listen to such questionable,
plays, but we believe we are right,
when we say our own American born
French and Creole speaking people
have much higher standard Of what
should constitute comedy. The aud
isnce was quite large owing to the
fact that some fine singing was expect
ed. The play given was received
with very little applause and did not
seem 10 create : good impression.
