opera singers who ever toured New
England is Mile Ernestine Gauthier,
the petite prima donna contralto of
the Boston Opera Company who will
appear again her ewith a remarkable
company of Boston Grand Opera
Singers at the Opera House Thursday

Those who have heard her on former
tours need not be told of her piquant
vivaciousness and delightful personal

quality and volume compares most
favorably with that of the greatest
contraltos in opera. Her very ap-
pearance on the stage is sufficient to
win her audience, a fact which has
contributed greatly toward giving her
the prominence she now enjoys.

makes it very lively for the cats in
the neighborhood of his home. and
when he made flying leap from the
piazza his mistress thought he had
sighted one of his feline friends and
had gone in chase She saw the grass
in commotion where the chase was
in progress but got no view OF the
participants until they came out on
some ploughed ground on the land OF
one of the neighbors. when she dis
covered that the animal which the dog
had started after was no cat, but a
hedgehog and a big one. 1t was about
this time that the dog made sim
liar discovery, and the quills which
