 the rendering of selections from Han ders Messiah included in the attrac- ! tive program of the Woman's Club 1 Concert, November twenty-ninth. The l Russwin Lyceum will be the scene of 1 this delightful occasion. It may be of interest to some of | the prospective audience to recall the | first presentation of this great ora- | torio-when and under what circum- stances it was first heard. We are told, "The Irish papers an- nounced in November 1741, that Dr. Handel arrived in the packet boat from Holyhead, a gentleman un1Ver- sally known by his excellent compo- sitions in all kinds of music" In Dublin he took the people by storm and it is said to the credit of the Irish taste in music, which is too slightly appreciated, that his best work was what attracted most at tention in the City of Dublin. There on the 18th day of April 1742 Fish amber street was crowded to excess, the doors of the new music hall thronged, noble men and ladies of quality competing eagerly with people of the middle and even lower classes
 
 that day, as was announced, MT. Han del's new oratorio The Messiah was to be produced for the first time. So successful was the oration that the whole of Dublin rang with his praises The anxiety to obtain places became so great that ladies of rank in the capital agreed for the time being to go without hoops so that an additional number of people could be admitted in the audience and England which had for some time neglected the composer, woke to the fact that very great man indeed has been in their midst"
 The members of the Music Depart ment of the Women's Club are con- fident that the selections from this great oratorio will be rendered in a way that would have been approved even by pr. Handel and that large numbers will attend.
 Mrs. William H. Farmer of Mont clair, N. J., gave a most interesting talk to the ladies of the Center church in the chapel yesterday afternoon. The aim of her talk was to interest the ladies of New Britain in missions.
 The Young Woman's Interdenomi- national Society had charge of the musical program and Mrs. Alice Sing CT Brown rendered a few delightful selections.
 A. J. Sloper of this city has been honored with the reelection as presi- dent of the Jeremiah Wadsworth Branch, Sons of the American Revo- lution. The annual meeting was held at the Hartford club. He was unanimously chosen. The society members were the guests of President Sloper at the dinner which preceded the meeting.

 Miss Jane Darlington of the Normal school gave another delightful tea party Thursday afternoon at the Der lin Tea Shop. The decorations were suitable for Halloween.
