on Irish song Of no spurious national
character.
Perhaps the numbers most heartily en-
joyed were q group Of three Christmas
ohorusss The FIRST, by EiEar, was ac-
eompanisd by six violins, Mrs. Dulin,
Mrs. Lewis, Miss Allen, Miss Wilbur.
Miss Qlostxner, and Miss Raner. The
second was 10, a Rose Is Blooming"
10y PrAetoriua, q choral writer OF the
sixteenth century. The third and last
number on the programme was the old
end beautiful German Christmas song.
"Wenhnacht," In which Mr.. John Waters
took q solo part. This was sung with
muted voices round 4 lighted Christmas
tree, all other lights having been ex-
tinguished. Mr.. Walters solo was sung
with great feeling and beauty OF express
sion to a muted accompaniment Of the
chorus.
Mr.. Louis B. Thompson sang an inter-
polated number from Donnizetti's Sc
bastiano, In Terra Solo" Mr.. Thomp-
son has a sympathetic voice. His num-
Der was highly appreciated by the audi
ence.
Mr.. Anton Raspar gave a group Of
three violin numbers, an "Andante Ex-
pressivo," from Grieg; Svendsens Nor
wegian Melody" and a "Romanza," by
Wilhelm. Mr.. Kaspar's finished tech
n!aue and musicianly Interpretation Is
well appreciated in Washington.
Much OF the success OF the concert was
due to the admirable and thoroughly able
piano accompaniment played by Mrs.
Simon.

CHORAL SOCIETY
GIVES CONCERT
Varied Classical Programme Of Mo.
tets Pleases Large Audience
at Columbia Theater.

The Motel Choral Society, Mr.. Otto
Terney Simon, conductor. gave a pro-
gramme OF great interest at the Column
bia Theater yesterday afternoon. This
was the first OF these choral concerts this
season. and the interest manifested by
the critical audience present was highly
encouraging The works Of Glinka, Liszt,
Handel, Bantock, Elgar, and Praetorius,
were drawn from to furnish variety and
beauty.
Mr.. Simon read these compositions with
nicely Of Interpretation that proves a
thorough understanding Of the art Of
conducting. Each number gave evidence
OF long and careful rehearsal Every
means at his command for achieving ac-
curacy OF information, power and breadth
Of tone without loss Of musical quality,
perfect balance Of parts, and nice shad-
ing has been studied in detail The
diction could be improved, and no doubt
will be in time, under the serious and
Intelligent efforts OF Mr.. Simon.
Mr.. Simon's endeavors are not for
massive effects, but for fine gradations
Of color tints and the mysterious charm
Of delicacy. Volume OF tone is rather
suggested than broadly brought out. In
works of the old school, of course. such
as the choruses from Handlers Israel in
Egypt" in which great masses and
grandeur OF tone move in mighty swing
ing rhythm, delicacy and subtlety give
place to solemn grandeur. In the modern
compositions, Glinka, List, Bantock. Mr.
Simon finds his greatest opportunity for
repression OF tone. Modern choral writ
ing demands a different Interpretation
and treatment from that OF the time of
Bach and Handel. and in this Mr.. Simon
showed a thorough understanding.

Tender beefsteaks succulent chops
and juicy roasts, that filled the breasts
Of the beholders with sweet reminds
cense and fond hope, were on display
in Armour & Co.'S branch at Center
Market yesterday, in the carcass of the
grand champion of the recent Chicago
show for short-horned cattle.
The carcass Of the grand champion is
said to be of the finest grade ever sold
on the local market. 1t was a strictly
homegrown animal, corn-fed from the
earliest days after weaving up to the
time of its triumph at the International
Live Stock Exposition at Chicago.
No plebeian hay or proIetariat fare
like straw and tree bark ever nassed

stated TO those who yesterday viewed
his succulent remains. This king oF

and just enough exercise to keen his
appetite from Tagging. His peace of

In other words, some Of the finest beef
ever brought to Washington can now

roast beef Of old England" It IL a

THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS.

Most Of us like the eld-fashiOned
cabbage rose In preference to the
perfect, beautiful, Odorless orchid: so
the girl OF my dreams is thoroughly
domestic. She is a good housekeeper
cook, and seamstress Her Bible is
her guide, and her duty consists In
doing what is right. Dress is eX-
pressed in plainness and neatness,
and fashion to her is the counterpart
Of folly, Her ambition is to accom-
pllsh some good that viii be helpful
to others. and she labors for the
betterment and uplift of humanity,
She is free from sefhshness and be-
isVes in herself as well as i'm others.
Her face Is not pretty, but 1t bears
the impress Of goodness, and she in
spires respect and affection by the
clsannsss OF her life and her efforts
to contribute TO the general aims Of
her environment, ITO thine own
self be true" is her motto and she
makes every effort to live up to it.

THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS.

Undoubtedly every one has an
ideal. The brunette type OF woman
appeals to me, in that she Is strong
er, physically and mentally, than her
blond sister, and Is also capable OF
deeper and nobler emotions. But her
type is the least part of her attrac-
tiVeness. She must be an inspira ton
and one who calls forth all that is
noblest and best I'm our nature. She
must possess vivacity, combined with
feminine charm; must be intellectual,
thoroughly womanly, and capable OF
assuming responsibilities, She must
possess q love of industry as we'll as
desire to please, Who can resist

good, intellectual, and charming

Who Is the Girl Of Your Dreams?
Many in Game for Girl of My
Dreams"

\ a pathetic little incident happened
= yesterday in connection with the
contest on The Girl Of My Dreams"
1t is worth telling. The young man
who guards the outer portals OF the
editorial sanctum entered the office
to announce that a gentleman want
ed to see the contest editor. AS it
is invariably a rule not to meet con-
teEtants. or would-be contestants,
the gentleman was asked TO state
his business. saying the editor was
very busy. The boy returned to say
that the gentleman would wait until
It would be convenient. When asked
what the visitor was IKE he said he
looked kinder hard up and unhap-
py." So the man in charge went out
to see him.
In the waiting room, hunChed up
in a corner, sat little creature. half
dwarf. His face, though pale. thin.
and wasted. was beautiful in its sad
ness. He apologIzed profusely for
disturbing any one. but he wanted to
ask a question. He had understood,
from reading the question that IL
was necessary TO name the girl Of
your dreams. The question asked.
who Is the Girl OF Your Dreams?'
seemed TO imply, he said, that # was
necessary to actually name the in
dividual object personally.
On being assured that such was
not the case, he smiled and rendered
an envelope. Here Is a letter for
the contest" he said. L couldn't
name her, It would not be right"
and he glanced down at his mis-
shapen body and wasted limbs. but
she is in all my dreams. all the more
beautiful because 7 can never hope

THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS.

She was only a shabby, wind
swept figure. The rudy color in her
cheeks was not more glowing than
the cheerful, gentle light that BEAM
ed from her countenance, She stop
ped to set upon his feet a tiny tod
dler, whose sturdy little legs could
hardly keep pace with his bundle
laden mother. Tenderly she helped
an old woman across the crowded
thOroughfare, and with a bright nod
and smile was lost in the crowd. My
thoughts followed on. 1 saw her
travelling onward through life, eX-
tending helping hands, cheering with
words and smiles, meeting the Ills
of life with The same brave face that
she met, though so poorly clad, that
singing, biting wind, / saw her the
blessing OF parents, the JOY OF
friends, never-failing comfort OF
husband and children. When life's
race was run, it could be truly said:
she hath done what she could"
