 The pupils of the Margaret Allen school will give an operetta, "The Japanese Girl" in the recitation hall this evening at S:9O o'clock under the direction of Mir. Mangeldadorff, who has charge of the vocal class in the high school department.
 It will be a benefit performance. and 1t is expected that the friends and patrons of the school will encourage the young people by their presence.
 The scenery will be especially attractive, having been painted by Miss Rumph and her pupils. Here is the argument:
 "The idea of this operetta was suggest ed by reading an account of a picturesque custom prevalent in some parts of Japan. When a near relative has to be absent from home for a considerable period he often leaves behind a growing plant, young tree or singing bird, which is called by his name and regarded as his substitute.
 ''The greatest care is bestowed on this object, as it is considered most unlucky to the person whom it represents should any harm befall it during his absence "The first act opens by a number oi Japanese girls visiting o Hanu San, a young Japanese beauty who is about tc celebrate her 18th birthday, regarded 1T Japan as the coming of age.' Some amusement is caused by Chaya, her faith 1 full servant, who appears to be overbur. dened by work. The story is told in tho l dialogue and songs, and contains many amusing and interesting situations. Tn the second act two American girls who are touring in Japan with their gov. erness for education and pleasure, are i'm pelled by curiosity to enter the garden and while their governess is sketchine they slip away from her.
 "rhe Japanese girls returning resent the intrusion of foreigner and awake the governess, who has fallen asleep at her easel, and pretend not to understand her explanations. o Hanu San comes to her | rescue and in the end invites the Ameri- l can ladies to remain as her guests and 1 witness the interesting and quaint cere- monies which are about to commence 1 They accept gratefully and win the hearts 1 of all"
