Easter Greetings to NY Pupils.

Goodbye to the dear old Winter,
He has gone with speed-winged feet
To the frozen shores of Zembla,
Wrapped in robes of glitt'ring sleet
Oft We heard his merry whistle,
AS he sprinkled gems of snow
Io'er the cedars' quiv'ring branches
Just to please good folks, you know
Winter was jolly fellow.
To us all he brought good cheer;
All, no wonder we were sadden'd
When his latest day drew nearl
We can't bring him back, dear pupils
So all vain regrets we fling.
To the winds, and shout with gladness,
Welcome, little bright-eyed Spring,
For she brings the Happy Easter
Ev'ry time she comes to earth,
And the music of her song-birds
Fills our very souls with mirth.
She has brought the Golden Sunshine,
And the flowers we love to see,
They are blooming on her footsteps
AS she dances down the lea.
Waves of Holy Sound are floating
Ger the hills and through the dells;
LOT the Son Of God is risen,'
Sweetly say the Easter Bells,
Mrs. W. b. Crawford.

Della Clarke in "lntroduce Me-"

In reviewing the piece an exchange
says;
"The biting jest which an migrate
full and vicious weather department
handed this city yesterday prevented
but small crowd of theatre goers
from witnessing Introduce Me" as
presented at the Academy of Music
matinees and evening. This is largely
to be regretted inasmuch as the show
is am exceptionally clever one, well
staged and carried by an admirably
well.balanced east Miss Clarke au-

eommendation in both capacities and
her support played with Spartan in

the considerable reputation she en-
joys and her own determination in

cast. Not a sign of soldering" could
be observed in either performance
which indicates splendid pluck on the
part of those bufieted by a wintry fate.
Miss Clarke's role-that Of the some

of the Indian maiden in which we last
saw her Tenderness. viyacity, com

the role was doubtless immensely aid
ed from the fact that its creator was
playing it but aside from this there
was ample evidence of a very thorough
study of the possibilities. On proper
occasions the conscientiousnes with
which the part was played throughout
rose to genuine brillianee showing
very real emotional power-the kind
that grips the audience and sweeps
it out Of itself
Folks interested in the stage might
as well make up their minds to keep
an eye upon Miss Clarke. In "The
White Squaw,s she demonstrated
that she has imagination, the truest.
sensibility, the genuine constructive
talent. But Introduce Me" is leagues
in advance of the earlier effort. The
imagination is surer, the sensibility
more appreciative. the constructive
power stronger The situations are
evolved with delightful naturalness
