BIG AUDIENCE AT SYMPHONY
EDWARD JOHNSON, THE TENOR,
 ATTRACTS MANT.
A Composition of David Stanley Smith to be Played-Professor H. B. Jepson to Give Guilmant Organ Concerto It's First Hearing Here.


 The fact that Edward Johnson will sing has attracted even more than the usual large audiences that go to the converts given by the New Haven Symphony orchestra. His fine tenor voice will show wonderfully well in the two great arias he is down on the pro- gramme for; the excerpt from Masse- nets "Manon" that from Puccinis La Boheme" Both these composers knew how to write for the voice, that is why the two arias Mir. Johnson has chosen for Tuesdays concert are so often se- lected by tenors with fine high notes. The Puccini aria is favorite one of the great Caruso and his audience in- varnably rises to him when he sings it. Equally beautiful, in another way, is the ''Manon" aria, so that his New Haven admirers may hear the favorite tenor as they have never heard him before.
 HaydnS joyous symphony in E Hat (No. 8, the fascinating Spanish dances of Hoszkowski, so familiar to piano players in four hand form and bril- liantly orchestrated by Frank von der Stucken; the Leonore overture, No. 8, to Beethoven's opera "Fidelio,' and David Stanley Smiths latest compo- sition Allegro Giocoeo," which he will himself conduct, completes the fine pro- gramme. Tn addition to his Profit H. B. Jepson will play the Guilmant con- certo in D minor for organ and orches- tra, which will have its first hearing in New Haven.
 The Woolsey hall box office will be open from Il a. m. to I o'clock, from 2 to D. m. to-day again for the sale of seats for the last symphony concert of the season in Woolsey hall tomorrow afternoon at 4:1O o'clock

SIMPLE GOWN OF WHITE.
Idea In Chiffon Broadcioth Comes
from Paris.

white chiffon broadcloth is always
charming and the Partisan dress
makers have sent over many hand
some models in this material One Of
these. though simple in outline and
detail, is distinctly successful, and has
already been much admired.
The skirt falls in soft folds from
tiny vertical plaits, which fit 1t close
ly around the hips, and on the bottom
is an interlacing design formed of the
most infinitesimally minute pinched
up tucks taken in the cloth. The effect
is almost that of very fine cord trac-
ing a design upon the cloth surface,
and this handling of the cloth. with no
slightest pickering of the Surface, is
a triumph of skilful tailoring, for all
the apparent simplicity of the effect
obtained.
The bodice of the frock is as simple
in outline as the skirt. 1t crosses in
surplice fashion low in front, the
fronts ending in rounded tabs but
Toned down to girdle by big shaded
brown pearl buttons set In gold rims.
The deep girdle has a pitted lower
part of cloth adorned with the tucked
cording, but around the top of the
girdle is draped width of soft silk
shading from white to light warm
brown, with charming color graduation.
This silk is drawn up in the back to
meet a tucked point running around
in continuation of the surplice fronts.

the shoulder blades and from beneath

ENGLAND AND COTTON.
That Country Dependent Upon United
States For Its Prosperity.

Uncle Sam holds the prosperity of
Great Britain in his hand. Few realize
the extent to which British industry
Is dependent upon the cotton growers
OF the United States. Practically all
the raw cotton is imported by Brit
ish ships. the cotton exports are han
died by British shippers and mer-
chants. and the entire profits from the
industry are thus enhanced by many
millions. Three-fourths of England's
gross profits from cotton were derived
from the manufacturing of the Amer
lean product The statistics are as
significant from an American view.
point as from the English. American
shipping might profit largely from the
cotton-carrying trade, and American
manufacturers might secure all the
profits that now fall to the English.
Many far-sighted Englishmen already
appreciate the possible result of such
an awakening on the part of Ameri-
cans. They know that the loss of the
American raw product from any cause
would precipitate a period of indus
trial depression more severe than any
recorded in the past, or possibly in
any industry. 1t is on this account
that every effort is made to develop
new cotton fields in the cotton belt of
the earth. 1t seriously is suggested
that English capital should be invest
ed in the southern states In order to
secure land enough to raise at least
5000, 600 bales a year.
