Birthday Party.

One of the most elaborate child
ren's parties ever given in Lexington
took place last Saturday afternoon
between five and seven at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. j.. N. Sturgis. The

given on the lawn, which provided
ample room for the sixty children
who were there.
There we're games of different
kinds and the feature was a contest
called "feeding the Teddy Bear"
The first prizes, a football and a
locket containing the hosts picture
were won by Harry Day and Miss
Iinky Elizabeth Graves respectively.
The BOBBY prizes-a base ball and
bat, ard a rag doll infarmer costume
went respectively to Wilmot Ken
ney and Miss Betsy Vaughan.
In cutting the birthday cake
Rudolph Haerle got the Ilhgi MISE
Louise Mcdonald the thimble anc
Miss Elizabeth O'Hara the dime.

astors. Coffin, of course, took a pic
ture of it. Refreshments con
: sisted of Neapolitan cream in three
colors with cake to match, candy AM
fruit. AS souvenirs catch balls o

Miss Graves, Recital.

Miss Elizabeth Graves pupils gave
a successful and entertaining piano
recitalin the auditorium Of Lexington
college Monday evening. The re-
cital was attended by a crowd which
filed every available seat in the hall.
The program was long, containing
10 numbers and many of those who

ability of Miss Graves as an instruc-
tor. The FIST honor was awarded to
Miss Maude Shinn and the second

HOW To Get Strong.

P. J. DAILY, of l247 w. Congress St,
Chicago, tells of a way to become
strong: He says; my mother, who is
old and was very feeble, is deriving
50 much benefit from Electric Bitters,
that feel it's my duty to tell those
who need a tonic and strengthening
medicine about it. In my mothers
case a marked gain in flesh has re-
suited, insomnia has been overcome,
and she is steadily growing stronger
Electric Bitters quickly remedy

A Law Liver

May be only a tired liver, OF a starved
liver. 1t would be a stupid as well as
savage thing to beat a weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. 50
in treating the tagging, torpid liver It Is
a great mistake TO lash 1t with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver Is but an
Indication of an ill-nOurlshed, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs Of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DR.. Plerce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures Of "liver
trouble 4" by its wonderful control OF the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity Of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the blood-mak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonous accumulations, and so relieves the
liver OF the burdens imposed upon it by
the detection Of other organs.

STUDYING OPERA
AT NORMAL COLLEGE
NEW COURSE BEGINS THIS
AUTUMN.
Il Musical Education Unique from
Fact That 1t Costs Students
Nothing.

Grown-up people frequently have occasion in
these days to wish they children again, or at
least OF student age, and those who have young
people taking the musical course at the Normal
College must wish 1t very often The two most
fascinating features Of this course are quite new
the opera and the vocal both started
last year, but the latter only fully developed this
year. The students enthusiastic about them
that It has been necessary to limit the numbers in
the classes and Professor Henry 7. Fleck, of the
musical department, finds 1t quite impossible to
respond to all the demands made upon him. "A
number of the graduates who are now teachers
want afternoon opera class, but Professor
Fleck is so driven that he cannot arrange it. and
the Training School wants one, too. AS this in
struction is part of the collegiate course in music
the Training School has no legal claim to 1t, but
the class started last year the
Training School students asked to have one, too,
and this year they sent teacher to Professor
F1eck with the message. Tell the professor we
have got to have IT.
In the opera class the students study and be-
come thoroughly familiar with all the best operas.
that when they go to the opera it is not
mere mass of pleasant sound to them They know
the plot they understand the Instrumentation. the
scenic effects and all the stage business They
have read and sung the whole opera line for line.
To them "E1izabe:h's Prayer" or the Jewel Song
has meaning which 1t can have for few others in
the audience.
The musical department has piles Of opera scores,
and when any particular opera is being studied
there is complete vocal score for every two STU
dents in the class. They study this and sing
the choruses and solos until they have an intelli-
gent conception of the whole work
The vocal course is the outcome of some radical
ideas entertained by Professor F1eck He thinks
that real musical culture is impossible without
cal training.
'"The theory of music studied alone. without Vo-
cal development, is almost useless" he says. TOO
much stress cannot be laid on the Importance of
training ear and voice to correct perception OF
differences of pitch and duration the underlying
principle OF musical study. AS soon as a girl has
learned the forms of notation and sound effects.
their vocal expression should accompany the grow
ing knowledge. I don't mean mere sight singing
which is elementary work and doesn't enter into
the collegiate course, but thorough vocal culture,
the development of the voice, which means as well
the development of the mind. Singing is too often
divorced from mental culture. Singers begin by
singing whereas the mental training should come
first. With the theory and science Of music
precede the vocal expression"
What Professor Fleck is aiming at, he says, is
TO take school music from its old moorings where
it was utilized chiefly fller-in between
