MADAME JOMELLI HEARTILY RECEIVED
GREAT PRlMA DONNA HEARD IN TREBLE CLIFF CLUB CONCERT AT MAJESTIC LAST NIGHT. BRILLIANT PROGRAMME

Madame Jomelli the famous prima donna, made her first appearance Tn Birmingham last night and was cor dlally received. She was to have been the star attraction at the Treble Clef clubs concert last Wednesday night at the Jefferson, but cancelled her en- gagement for that date on account of slight illness. The club, in order to keep faith with it's associate members and the public In general, arranged to have her in a special concert at the Majestic Saturday night The pro rramnne was the same as that an nounced for Wednesday, the Treble Clef chorus being on the bill for three numbers and Madame Jomelh Tor three groups of songs.
 The entertainment was advertised o begin at s o'clock. but ahe prima donna arrived from Atlanta on delayed train and she was a half hour late lu reaching the theatre. The audience, however. was fairly patient albeit the house was not adequately heated and men as well as women shivered.
 Thsre were Madame Jomellfs songs. Louise Aria, Carpenter.
 Trahison Chamfnade.
 si mes vers avaient des Allies. Reynaldo Hahn.
 Chant de Bassehante, BemberS-
 Thais. Massenet-
 Mondnacht Schumann.

 Niemand Hats gesehn. Carl Loewe.
 Mausfallenspruchlein, Hugo Wolff.
 Tosea Aria, Puecini.
 Serena1a. Tosti
 Indian Song, Wakefield Cadman
 Will O the Wisp, Charles c. Spross
 Many of the songs were new in Bir- mingham. and aH of them were of high order. considered as musical compositions.
 Madame Jomeln is a great artist-one of the very greatest ever heard here. As she Is distinctively dramatic she was at her best last night in operate pieces. al- though most of her other songs were de- nvered with consumate art. She was somewhat disappointing in Schumann and Schubert, but even in those musical gems, unsaited to her style, her voice was so rich and her vocalization so fine as to make them only disappointing by compari- son. Her technique Is simply perfect and fl was stril<ingly revealed in the song by Carl Loewe.
 Madame Jomelli was heartily applauded after each song. but it was not until she sang Solvejg's Lied that she audience con- tinned it's applause until she responded She repeated that sad. but beautiful

The size Of visiting cards varies from
year to year, but persons OF good taste
make II a rule not to follow all Of
Fashions vagaries in this direction.
Cards Of medium size and square ef-
fect-they are somewhat longer from
right to feft than from top to bottom
are much used by fashionable women,
those used by the married women being
somewb It larger than those by the un-
married. Cards for men are more
slender. but the old narrow slip once
used by them is quite out Of date. The
fashionable card for men measures
within a fraction of three and three
quarters inches in length and two in
width.
Script and old English lettering are
used, but a plain Roman lettering gives
the best effect. ana such plain. sound,
black lettering is always in vogue. :

SKIRTS WITH TRAINS
LONGER THAN EVER

Skirts Of evening gowns are much
wider and longer. with the train almost
exaggeratedly long, while In front and
at the sides the skirt must be long
enough to more than touch the ground.
The newest models are most graceful
and effective, with their long sweeping
trains. and in spite Of their added width
are so cleverly designed that they make
the wearer look slender.
Heavier materials are used than last
season. The satins are OF heavier quail
fly. and brocades are being shown. The
favorite weaves OF satin have quite a
luster and look much richer than last
years, while there are many old friends
among the new designs, but with new
names.
In spite OF looking heavier in weight
and richer IN quality these new fabrics
are singuiarly soft and pl!Gble, so that
| they can be dealt with as easily almost
| as the extremely lightweight charmeuse
satin that In the clinging empire and
/ princess gowns has had such a wonder
I faI and long-lived popularity
The embroidered chiffon and net
gowns are most effective, while ia plain
chiffon, trimmed with bands Of en-
broidery, there are many exceedingly
attractive models.

Only by careful attention TO table
silver can "a housewife keep 1t in con-

housekeeper-a iJride-cannot usually

Therefore, whe1 teaching an mex
pensive and new maid her duties in the
household, the mistress should specially
stipuiate that the silver must be cleaned
at least once a week, and that list
OF ali the pieces should be kept on a
hook IN the pantry. And that after
the cleansing all spoons, dishes, etc,
Of silver must be counted TO be sure
none is missing.

Batter Supply Is Light,
Bat Demand Is HeaUy

Washington housekeepers have the
better end of the butter market this
week. say dealers. in the matter Of
prices.
While the Elgin quotations have not
changed. IL is pointed out that supply
OF strictly fancy butter has decreased
and that demand has increased. This
is making it more difficult for dealers
TO supply customers with the best
grades than was the case last week,
while they are getting the same prices
as formerly.
Should present butter market condi-
lions continue this week, with demand
strong and supply exceptionally light,
Il is practically certain there will be an
increase in the price of the commodity
by another week.
