She Once Sang For an Admitting

A characteristic story is told OF
Nine. Calve. Shortly before her last
American tour she paid visit to her
dressmaker in Paris. While she was
discussing her costumes with the
head OF the establishment, which is
a very large one, a couturiere hesitat-

ed her. She came on behalf of her
self and her fellow workers to beg
a great favor. Would Nine Calve sing
them a song? It was much to ask,
but though they worked for her,
hardly any of them had ever had a
chance of hearing her beautiful voice.
At once the great singer consented.
She went into the workroom, and,
having, satisfied herself that no un.
authorized persons were present, she
delighted her audience of workgirls
with two exquisite songs. On leaving
she was accorded an ovation which
for heartiness probably rivaled any
which she had received during the
coursesof her brilliant career. !.

BRATrLEBoRo HOME FOR AGED AND DISABLED

Menasha, Wis, son of an oldtime To-
cal postmaster.
The endowment gradually increased
from small donations and through con-
servative calculation, until pressing
demands for admission to the home
made it advisable to reconstruct and
enlarge the institution. In addition
to the stone front the facilities of the
former home have been greatly in
creased by the addition of seven sleep
ing rooms, giving at least Is bedrooms
in the old building, aside from in
creased room on the first floor where
are located the dining room. kitchen,
laundry, wood and store rooms. Un-
der business management the home
has grown in public favor, though.
even with it's enlargement, it will
hardly accommodate all to whom the
trustees would be glad to grant its
privileges but for the insufficiency of
the endowment. The home was in
corporated about II years ago, the in
being Henry d. Holton.

to furnish, at moderate expense, a
and congenial home for
men and women of character who,

in advancing years and infirmities
with limited means and without suit

servants sleeping rooms and in addi.

The house is made fire-proof as near
