Madame Labadie.

Madame Labadie.
At the opera house last evening
under the auspices of the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, Madame
Labadie gave reading of Hedda
Gabler. Ibsen's famous drama.
To the Ibsen student, the reading
was fraught with the deepest in
terest, since very clear insight
wins given into the lives and
thoughts of the dramas characters.
The reading was prefaced by Mad
ame Labadie with a few words in re-
gard to the drama and pbsens
style In assuming the various char
acters, Madame Lalbadie read with
the greatest ease and to each gave
a personality often accompanied by
some mannerism or gesture, thai
made it impossible to confound them.
The distinguishing feature of each
was most aptly brought out-the
love of old Aunt Emma, the heart
lessness of Hedda Gabler, the noble
heart and single interest of the o!d
professor, the worldliness of the
judge-.these were kept as constant
ly before you as if there were real
actors on the stage and your eye
could assist your mind in reading
the characters.
Madame Labadie within herself is
a wonderful woman. She has the
great advantage of personality with
which to greet her auiience.
When she comes to the stage she
wins your confidence with the first
word and you simply know that
you are going to have your fullest
expectations gratified She is a
beautiful woman, of splendid phys
ique, and with that most rare gift
"a lovely voice-a voice that mod
ulates to the varying emotions and
is ever beautiful.

Two P M. S. D.
A Bridge Club that has been or.
ganized for some time but has only
recently adopted a name, met Wed
nesday with Mrs. J. B. Moore
The name of this club is so long
that it will be run as serial in
the society columns, a few of the
initials appearing each day.
What these mystic symbols stand
for, only the club members know.
in fact, one of the initiation re-
quirements is for the candidates to
be able to say the name backwards.
In the morning the ladies bring
their embroidery and discuss liter
ature, books and flowers-'maybe.
After a dainty lunch they play
bridge.
NO prizes are given. The ladies
have no especial objection to prizes,
but after writing down the name of
the club they discovered they had
used up all the note paper in the
constitution and were unable to in
sert a section in regard to prizes.
Those of the club who met with
Mrs Moore on Wednesday were
Mesdames Rob Poland, Ray Poland,
b. A. Simpson and J. n. Dodson.
The club meets regularly every
once-ina-while and is very merry
and delightful organization.
